unlatch the belt, allow it to
retract fully, then repeat these
steps.
To deactivate the locking
mechanism in order to remove a
child seat, unlatch the buckle,
unroute the seat belt, and let the
belt fully retract.
Installing a Child Seat With the
Lap Belt
To install a forward-facing child
seat in the center back seat with
the lap belt, follow instruction
number 1 on page
32
for routing
and latching the seat belt. Then
pull hard on the loose end of the
belt to remove any slack (it may
help to put weight on the child
seat while pulling on the belt).
Finally, follow instruction number
5 on page
33
to verify that the
child seat is secure.
Protecting Larger Children
When a child reaches the
recommended weight or height
limit for a forward-facing child
seat, the child should sit in one of
the outer back seats and wear a
lap/shoulder belt. The
lap/shoulder belt provides better
protection than the lap belt.
If a child is too short for the
shoulder part of the belt to fit
properly, we recommend that the
child use a booster seat until the
child is tall enough to use the seat
belt without a booster.
