Confirm stability of restraint after installation and before
each use:
• Grasp restraint near belt path being used. Attempt to
move restraint side-to-side and front to back: restraint
should not move more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) in any
direction. Restraint should stay securely installed and
the securing belt (either UAS belt or vehicle seat belt)
must remain tightly adjusted.
If restraint does not stay securely installed, restraint

according to the restraint instructions and the vehicle
owner’s manual. In order to achieve proper installation
you may need to choose an alternate installation
method or seating location within the vehicle.
