To help prevent serious injury or death:
•
ALWAYS
read your vehicle owner's manual to
determine what vehicle belts and retractors are used
in your vehicle belt.
The vehicle belt
MUST
lock and
MUST NOT
loosen after the seat
belt is tightened.
•
DO NOT
use this child restraint
if it moves more than 2.5 cm
(1 in.) side to side or front to
back at either the rear-facing or forward-facing belt
path on the child restraint. Serious injury or death
may result from poor installation. If you cannot tightly
secure the child restraint, try again or move it to
another location.
•
DO NOT
use this child restraint in a
seating position with door-mounted seat
belts.
•
DO NOT
use this child restraint
in a vehicle with seat belts that
automatically move along the vehicle
frame when the door is opened.
•
DO NOT
use this child restraint in a
vehicle equipped with lap belts that
only lock during a sudden stop or
crash (emergency locking retractor –
ELR). You must use a seating location
with a locking seat belt. Check your
vehicle owner’s manual to see if you
have lap belts with ELRs.
•
DO NOT
use on vehicle seats when both
portions of the vehicle belts are
positioned forward of the seat crease.
Retractor
To help prevent serious injury or death:
•
DO NOT
use with lap/shoulder belts with
two retractors. If the vehicle seat belts
are not routed and fastened correctly, the
child restraint may not protect the child
in a crash.
•
DO NOT
use with inflatable seat belts except in
booster mode.
• Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine how
to lock your seat belt for child restraint installation.
The seat belt must be locked to properly secure the
child restraint.
•
DO NOT
allow the vehicle seat belt release button to
touch the child restraint. Accidental contact may cause
the seat belt to release. If necessary, turn the seat belt
release button away from the child restraint or move
the child restraint to a different location.
• Failure to adjust the harness or vehicle seat belts
snugly around the child may result in the child striking
the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash.
Serious injury or death may occur.
• This child restraint must be securely belted to the vehicle,
even when they are unoccupied
, since in a crash
an unsecured child restraint system may injure other
occupants.
Seat Belt Warnings (cont.)
If your vehicle was built
prior to model
year 1996
, and has a lap/shoulder belt
that is equipped with an emergency
locking retractor (ELR) AND sliding latch
plate, you
MUST
use a Locking Clip.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to
identify which vehicle belt system is
in your vehicle.
If your vehicle is
model year 1996
or newer
, it likely has a vehicle belt system
that can be locked when tightened, and will not
require use of a Locking Clip.
Consult your vehicle owner’s
manual before installing a locking clip.
