1. Place the Positioning Restraint System in a forward facing position on
the vehicle seat. If the front edge of the restraint extends more
that 1” (25mm) beyond the front edge of the seat, then the vehicle
seat is too shallow to properly support the restraint system. If
this is the case, do not install.
2. Attach the tension adjuster hooks of the tether to the upper anchor
points located on the sides of the Positioning Restraint System. See
Installing the Tether Strap.
3. Attach the tether loosely to an approved anchor
point in the vehicle. In cars built after 2002,
approved anchor points can be identified by this
symbol. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual if
needed.
4. Verify that the seat belt in the vehicle can be used
with the Positioning Restraint System. See Vehicle Seat Belt
Compatibility.
5. Pull the seat belt out completely then route the belt between the back
of the restraint and the metal tubes which are located along the sides
of the Positioning Restraint System.
6. Make sure that the seat belt is not twisted, then buckle in place.
7. Make sure the restraint system is flat against the vehicle seat’s bottom
and back. Use your hands to apply firm pressure to the restraint,
pushing it into the vehicle backrest—or place your knee on the
restraint and push down with all your weight—-while pulling on the
vehicle seat belt and removing all slack from it.
8. With one hand, firmly hold the shoulder and lap portions of the seat
belt together immediately behind the latch, then release the seat belt
latch from the buckle.
9. Fold the webbing and thread it through the locking clip, one side at a
time keeping the locking clip as close as possible to vehicle belt latch –
no further than ½" (12mm) away. See Figure 3.
10. Buckle the seat belt to see that the clip has been correctly installed,
with all slack webbing gone and the restraint tightly in place.
11. Check to make sure the tether strap is not twisted and then tighten to
secure the upper portion of the restraint. If the vehicle does not have a
top tether anchor point, it will be necessary to use a bolt-in anchor
mounting bracket. See Installation Without LATCH Top Tether
Anchors.
12. DO NOT USE this restraint without the tether strap properly installed.
13. Verify that the vehicle seat belt is tight and that the Positioning
