5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have
pulled all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to
retract back into the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This means the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.
6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able
to pull out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat step 5.
7. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the
child restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into
the vehicle seat.
8. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top
tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the
tether strap. See the section “Installing Child Restraints Using the Top Tether
Anchorage” for directions to attach a tether anchor.
9. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child
seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it
tight if necessary.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top Tether Anchorage
WARNING!
Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing car seat to any location in front of
the car seat, including the seat frame or a tether anchorage. Only attach the
tether strap of a rear-facing car seat to the tether anchorage that is approved for
that seating position, located behind the top of the vehicle seat. See the section
“Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) Restraint System” for the loca-
tion of approved tether anchorages in your vehicle.
1. Look behind the seating position where you plan to install the child restraint to
find the tether anchorage. You may need to move the seat forward to provide
better access to the tether anchorage. If there is no top tether anchorage for that
seating position, move the child restraint to another position in the vehicle if one
is available.
