or if the instructions that come with the
c
h
ild restraint say that the top tether must
be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing
child restraints have atop tether, and that the
tether be attached.
When using the lap-shoulder belt to secure
the child restraint in this position, follow the
instructions that came with the child restraint
and the following instructions:
1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before
securing the forward-facing child restraint.
Move the seat upward or the seatback to
an upright position, if needed, to get a tight
installation of the child restraint.
When the passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, the OFF indicator on the
passenger airbag status indicator should
light and stay lit when you start the vehicle.
See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
392.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate and run the lap and
shoulder portions of the vehicle seat belt
through or around the restraint. Ensure
the seat belt webbing is routed as direct
as possible and is not caught on seat
ha
ndles or plastic trim. The child restraint
instructions will show you how.
Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt
if needed.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until
it clicks.
Position the release pushbutton on the
buckle, away from the child restraint,
so that the seat belt could be quickly
unbuckled if necessary.
