Tips
TIP:
If you’re having difficulty
attaining a tight installation in
harness mode using the short belt
route, try reclining the vehicle seat
back during installation. Once the
installation process is complete,
return the vehicle seat back to the
most upright position possible. See
Figure A.
NOTE:
This tip will only be helpful if your vehicle seat back is able to
recline. See page 15 for important information on choosing a vehicle
seating position. The back seat is the safest place for children 12 and
under.
TIP:
When installing the child seat
using the short belt route (Figure B):
Buckle the vehicle belt or attach
•
the LATCH connectors to the
vehicle anchors.
Pull the vehicle buckle stalk or
•
LATCH connectors into the belt
slot to properly align it into the
belt path.
Tighten.

Troubleshooting
Problem: The harness is hard to adjust.
Possible Solution: Check that the harness slots in the head
restraint and harness adjuster are properly aligned. Do not use the
head restraint adjuster when the harness is attached.
Possible Solution: The yoke may be caught on a strap or other
component of the child seat. Remove the obstruction and try
adjusting the harness again.
Problem: The adjuster strap is fraying at the sides:
Possible Solution: Pull the harness adjuster strap away from the
child seat (parallel to the ground) to tighten. Do not pull sideways.
Doing so may cause the harness adjuster strap to fray at the sides.
See page 57.
Problem: The buckle will not fasten with a click after each tongue
is inserted.
Possible solution: There may be debris in the buckle mechanism.
Clean the buckle as shown on page 67 and try fastening the
buckle again.
If you have misplaced your head restraint lock-out screw, you
can purchase a replacement #8 x ½” sheet metal screw at any
hardware store.
