4. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the

seat. Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-

tions.

5. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat

at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

The seat belt in the passenger seating position are equipped with a Switchable Automatic

Locking Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around

the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasion-

ally, and pull it tight if necessary.

Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child

restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.

To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:

1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt path of

the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.

2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”

3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap por tion tight against the child seat.

4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled all

the seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to retract back into the

retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This means the seat

belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.

5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to pull out

any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.

6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint

while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.

7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether

anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See

below for directions to attach a tether anchor.

8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat

at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
