INSTALLING LoCKING CLIP
A locking clip is used to prevent certain vehicle
seat belts from loosening before a sudden stop
or crash. The locking clip can
oNLY
be used
on a vehicle lap-and-shoulder belt. A locking
clip will not fix all types of vehicle seat belt
problems.
If your vehicle’s 3-point lap-and-shoulder seat belt is
equipped with an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
that is
NoT
convertible to function as an Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR), then the locking clip
MUST
be
used.
If you have any questions about the specific type of seat
belt system in your vehicle and/or its operation, consult
your vehicle owner’s manual.
• Follow the steps to properly secure vehicle lap-and-
shoulder seat belt (see “Installing with 3-Point Lap-
and-Shoulder Vehicle Seat Belt system”).
• Once seat belt is attached and properly adjusted, grasp
the two straps (lap and shoulder) together as close to
the vehicle belt buckle plate as possible. Unbuckle the
belt without allowing it to slip.
• Attach the locking clip around both lap and shoulder
belts ❶.
• Position the locking clip about
2.5 cm (1 inch) from vehicle belt’s
buckle plate.
• Rebuckle belt. Check that the lap
belt does not move by pulling hard.
If belt loosens or lengthens, repeat
the procedure.
Test installation to see if child restraint is secure. The
child restraint should
NoT
be able to move in any
2.5 cm (1")
