5. Push down on the child seat while pulling on the loose end of the lap

belt webbing to tighten the belt.

6. Before placing the child into the child seat, forcibly tilt the child seat

from side to side and in forward direction to make sure that the seat is

held securely in place. If the child seat moves excessively, repeat steps 5

through 6, or properly install the child seat in a different position.

Installing child safety seat in the second row center seating

position with an automatic locking retractor

1. Place the child safety seat in the center seating position.

2. In a continuous motion, pull out enough webbing from the retractor to

route the tongue through the child seat.

3. While holding the webbing to prevent it from retracting, route the

webbing through the child seat according to the child seat

manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure the belt webbing is not twisted.

4. Insert the tongue into the correct buckle for that seating position until

you hear and feel the buckle engage. Make sure the buckle is latched

securely by pulling on the webbing.

5. If you have not pulled out enough webbing to reach, allow the

webbing to fully retract before attempting to pull it out again and repeat

steps 2 through 4.

6. Pull the webbing through the child seat toward the buckle while

pushing down with your knee on the child seat.

7. Allow the safety belt to retract to remove any slack in the belt. It will

make a clicking noise while doing this.

8. Before placing the child in the seat, forcibly tilt the seat forward and

back to make sure the seat is securely held in place.

Check to make sure the child seat is properly secured before each use.

Attaching child safety seats with tether straps

Most new forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which

goes over the back of the seat and hooks to an anchoring point. Tether

straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats. Contact

the manufacturer of your child seat for information about ordering a

tether strap.

The passenger seats of your vehicle are equipped with built-in tether

strap anchors located behind the seats as described below.
