Seating and Safety Restraints
Insert both seat belts latch plates into the buckle and
pull up on them to ensure they are firmly latched.
NOTE: Be sure that the seat belt buckle is free of foreign
objects that may prevent you from properly latching
latch plates. If an object is in the opening, and cannot
be removed, see your dealer for service immediately.
3. Fasten the two halves of the shoulder belt clip together
and put it 2 - 3 in (5 - 7.6 cm) below the child's chin.
The purpose of the clip is to keep the shoulder belts
positioned correctly on the shoulders.
To remove the child, reverse Steps 1 through 3.
Child Restraint Anchorage Systems (Optional)
The following provides information pertaining to attaching
add-on child seats to passenger seats with child restraint
anchorage systems including tether anchors.
When installing an add-on child seat, follow the instructions
located on the add-on child seat for the forward facing position.
Ensure that the seat chosen is able to be installed in the forward
facing position and is designed to be used with the child restraint
anchorage system.
Passenger seats with optional child restraint anchorage systems
for attaching add-on child seats are usually located in the first few
rows of passenger seats behind the operator and / or entrance
door. To determine the location of the passenger seats in the
vehicle that are equipped with child restraint anchorage systems,
look for the pockets in the seat back just above the seat cushion
with a bar inside, or bars protruding up, between the seat back
and the seat cushion. Latch anchor locations may be identified
with the anchorage symbol just above the anchor.
Canadian school buses and all commercial buses must attach
the tether of the add-on child seat to the tether anchor located
on the passenger seat per the following instructions. To locate
the tether anchor (see
Location of the Tether Anchor ).
NOTE: Tethers are not required in U.S. school buses in
combination with child restraint anchorage system (UCRA)
when installing add on child restraint seats.
Passenger seats may have one or two child restraint anchorage
systems.
If two anchor systems are present in the same
passenger seat, and only one add-on child seat is going to be
installed, it is recommended to use the system closest to the
wall to improve the mobility of the passenger in the open seat
in case of an emergency.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury and / or death, or
damage to property, observe the following:
Follow all instructions on the child restraint and
in this manual, including the manufacturer's
warnings for proper use of the child restraint
system and latch attachments.
