& WARNING Risk of injury or death if a
seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle
is in motion
If the seat belt is released while the vehicle is
in motion, the child restraint system is no
longer correctly secured. The child seat
safety feature is deactivated and the seat
belt is drawn in a bit by the inertia reel.
It is therefore not possible to engage the seat
belt again.

Pull over and stop the vehicle safely as
soon as possible, paying attention to
road and traffic conditions.

again and correctly secure the child
restraint system.

ensures that the seat belts of the front
passenger seat and rear seats do not slacken
once the child restraint system is secured.

installation instructions when installing and
removing the child restraint system.

Pull the seat belt smoothly from the seat belt
outlet.

buckle.

reel retract it again.

ted,you should hear a ratcheting sound.
