INSTALLING CHILD SAFETY SEATS
Using Automatic Locking Mode Combination Lap and Shoulder
Belts (Front Passenger and Rear Outboard Seating Positions)
WARNING:
Children 12 and under should be properly restrained
in the rear seat whenever possible.
WARNING:
Depending on where you secure a child restraint,
and depending on the child restraint design, you may block
access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able
to be properly restrained.
When installing a child safety seat with combination lap/shoulder belts:
•
Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position.
•
Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap
and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the
buckle.
•
Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety
seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button,
to prevent accidental unbuckling.
•
Place the vehicle seat back in the upright position.
•
This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.
Perform the following steps when installing the child seat with
combination lap/shoulder belts:
Note:
Although the child seat illustrated is a forward-facing child seat,
the steps are the same for installing a rear-facing child seat.
1. Position the child safety seat in a
seat with a combination lap and
shoulder belt.
