8. Install the child restraint according to the manufactur-
er’s directions.
9. Remove slack from the tether strap according to the
child restraint manufacturer’s directions.

increased head motion and possible injury to the

the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether
strap.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat
belt
The passenger seat belt is equipped with an automatic
locking retractor for child restraint system installation. It is
designed to keep the lap portion of the restraint held tightly
to the passenger seat (Refer to “Automatic Locking Mode”).
To restrain the child seat:
1. Pull enough webbing from the retractor to allow the
belt to pass through the child restraint and insert the
latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
2. Grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull all of
the webbing out of the retractor.
3. Allow some of the webbing to retract back into the
retractor. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound indicating that the belt is now in Automatic
Locking Mode.
4. Tighten the lap portion of the belt and allow the excess
webbing to retract back to the retractor. If it still does
not make the child restraint secure, then secure the
child restraint with the Child Restraint Tether Anchor.
