Manual Belts
Manual lap belts are
common in the center
rear seat and can allow
the child restraint to
loosen when it is tilted or
jarred. After tightening the
lap belt securely, tilt and
push the child restraint
forward and to both sides.
If no loosening occurs,
your child restraint should
be secure.
If loosening does occur, try
the following: If the buckle
plate slides on the belt,
turn the buckle plate over.
If the buckle slides, turn
the buckle. Refasten the
vehicle lap belt.The release
button should face
out
after twisting so that it is
easy to reach in an
emergency.
If the lap belt continues to
loosen, the child restraint
must be moved to
another location in the
vehicle. A locking clip will
not correct this problem;
see your vehicle owner’s
manual.
NOTE:
Remove the locking clip when the seat belt is
not being used with a child restraint. The locking clip is
located on the back of the seat.
A locking clip will not fix
all types of seat belt problems.
Before you put your child restraint in the vehicle, buckle
the lap/shoulder belt. Pull on the lap belt portion. If it
loosens or slips, you must either use a locking clip to
hold the seat belt tight or move the child restraint to
another seating location.
Position locking clip about
1 in. (2.5 cm) from vehicle
belt’s buckle plate.
