locked with the switchable locking feature to properly secure child
restraints.
Child restraints are designed to be secured to the vehicle with the
lap belt portion of the 3 point lap and shoulder belt installed for the
passenger seats. The outboard rear seating positions also have
special fixtures for child restraints that can be used with
LATCH/UCRA lower universal anchorages.
Regardless of the kind of child restraint that you use, always make
sure that the child restraint is properly secured in the vehicle;
otherwise the child could be seriously injured in a crash. Always
follow legal requirements regarding the installation of child
restraints.
Whenever a child restraint (except a booster seat) is installed with a
safety belt, the safety belt must be locked so that the safety belt
webbing cannot unreel. The switchable locking feature lets you lock
the belt so that a child restraint can be properly installed and, for
example, so that it cannot tip to the side when the vehicle goes
around a corner.
Place the child restraint on a seat, preferably on a rear seat → .
