• Make sure that the child is upright
in the seat.
• The lap portion should be low on
the hips and as snug as possible.
• Check belt fit periodically. A child's
squirming or slouching can move
the belt out of position.
• If the shoulder belt contacts the
face or neck, move the child closer
to the center of the vehicle. If this
doesn't help, move the child to the
center rear seating position and use
both the lap and shoulder belt.
Never allow a child to put the
shoulder belt under an arm or be-
hind their back.
WARNING!
• Improper installation can lead to
failure of an infant or child re-
straint. It could come loose in a
collision. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow
the manufacturer's directions ex-
actly when installing an infant or
child restraint.

WARNING!

• A rearward-facing child restraint
should only be used in a rear seat.
A rearward-facing child restraint
in the front seat may be struck by
a deploying passenger air bag
which may cause severe or fatal
injury to the infant.
Here are some tips on getting the
most out of your child restraint:
• Before buying any restraint system,
make sure that it has a label certi-
fying that it meets all applicable
Safety Standards. LANCIA also
recommends that you make sure
that you can install the child re-
straint in the vehicle where you will
use it, before you buy it.
• The restraint must be appropriate
for your child's weight and height.
Check the label on the restraint for
weight and height limits.
• Carefully follow the instructions
that come with the restraint. If you
install the restraint improperly, it
may not work when you need it.
• Passenger seat belts are equipped
with an Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) designed to keep the lap
portion tight around the child re-
straint so that it is not necessary to
use a locking clip. In seating posi-
tions that are equipped with an
ALR retractor, it will make a ratch-
eting noise after all the webbing is
extracted and allowed to return
back. For additional information,
refer
to “Automatic Locking
Mode”.
• In the rear seat, you may have
trouble tightening the lap/shoulder
belt on the child restraint because
the buckle or latch plate is too close
to the belt path opening on the re-
straint. Disconnect the latch plate
from the buckle and twist the short
buckle end of the belt several times
to shorten it. Insert the latch plate
into the buckle with the release but-
ton facing out.
• If the belt still can't be tightened, or
if pulling and pushing on the re-
straint loosens the belt, disconnect
the latch plate from the buckle,
