• The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the
seatback using the most direct path. For the outboard seating positions, route
the tether underneath the head rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor
located on the back of the seat.
• Tighten all three straps as you push
the child restraint rearward and
downward into the seat.
Installing The Child Restraint
Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull
enough of the seat belt webbing from
the retractor to route it through the
belt path of the child restraint and
slide the latch plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt
webbing out of the retractor and then
allow the belt to retract into the
retractor. Finally, pull on any excess
webbing to tighten the lap portion
around the child restraint. Any seat
belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull
it tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure
the top tether strap. The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor
on the rear of the seatback using the most direct path. For the outboard
seating positions, route the tether underneath the head rest and attach the
hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile
inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in
your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.
