If the seat belt has a cinching latch plate, pulling up on

the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder belt will

tighten the belt. The cinching latch plate will keep the

belt tight, however, any seat belt system will loosen

with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it

tight if necessary.

If the seat belt has a switchable retractor, it will have a

distinctive label: Pull the belt from the retractor until

there is enough to allow you to pass through the child

restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle. Then

pull on the belt until it is all removed from the retractor.

Allow the belt to return to the retractor, pulling on the

excess webbing to tighten the lap portion about the child

restraint. Refer to the ⬙Automatic Locking Mode⬙ earlier

in this section.

•

In the rear seat, you may have trouble tightening the

lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the

buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path

opening on the restraint. Disconnect the latch plate

from the buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt

several times to shorten it. Insert the latch plate into

the buckle with the release button facing out.

•

If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if pulling and

pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, disconnect

the latch plate from the buckle, turn the buckle

around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle

again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secure,

try a different seating position.

•

Buckle the child into the seat according to the child

restraint manufacturer’s directions.

•

When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the

vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.

Do not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or

collision, it could strike the occupants or seat backs

and cause serious personal injury.
