Locking a Vehicle Lap-Shoulder Belt
with a Locking Clip
WARNING:
• Failure to properly lock the seat belt will result in an unsafe
installation that will greatly increase the potential for injury or death
to the child in an accident.
• If your vehicle lap shoulder seat belt is equipped with ELR
(Emergency Locking Retractor) that does not switch to function as
an ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor), you MUST use a locking
clip to secure lap portion of vehicle seat belt. If you have any
questions about the specific type of seat belt system in your
vehicle and its operation, consult your vehicle owner’s manual or
contact vehicle manufacturer.
Remove locking clip from
storage location on the upper
left side car seat back.
After seat belt is tightened,
hold the lap and shoulder
portions together with one
hand. This determines the
correct seat belt length.
Using your other hand, press
and release the seat belt buckle.
While still holding the lap and
shoulder belts together, slide
the belts into the locking clip.
Re-insert seat belt buckle
tongue into buckle and check
for a tight fit at the correct belt
path for chosen installation.
If seat belt is not tight enough,
re-tighten seat belt and repeat
Steps 2 through 4.
Once seat belt is tight and
locked, follow instructions for
Top Tether Use (See page 37
for rear-facing or page 47 for
forward-facing), if applicable.
Tip: To prevent loss after use, secure locking clip in its storage
location on the back of the car seat.
For rear-facing (See pages 33-34) and forward-facing (See pages
43-44) on a lap-shoulder belt installation.
