5. To tighten the belt, push down on the child
r
e
straint, pull the shoulder portion of the
belt to tighten the lap portion of the belt,
and feed the shoulder belt back into the
retractor. When installing aforward-facing
child restraint, it may be helpful to use your
knee to push down on the child restraint as
you tighten the belt.
There must not be direct contact of the child
restraint to the buckle release pushbutton.
If there is contact, reposition the child
restraint using the instructions that came
with the child restraint. If there is still
contact, use another seating position or
child restraint.
Try to pull the belt out of the retractor to
make sure the retractor is locked. If the
retractor is not locked, repeat Steps 4 and 5.
6. Tighten the top tether. See Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH System)
381.
7. If the child restraint has atop tether,
follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions regarding the use of the top
tether. See Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) 381.
8. Before placing achild in the child restraint,
ma
ke sure it is securely held in place. To
check, firmly grip the child restraint at the
seat belt path and attempt to move it side
to side and back and forth. When the child
restraint is properly installed, there should
be no more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of movement.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the
vehicle seat belt and let it return to the stowed
position. If the top tether is attached to atop
tether anchor, disconnect it.
Many child restraints are too wide to be
correctly secured in the center rear seat,
although some will fit there. If the center seat
position is too narrow for the child restraint,
secure it in arear outboard seat position.
If arear-facing child restraint is installed
in the rear center seat, ensure that the
second-row arm rest remains in the stowed
(closed) position. If the arm rest cannot be
stowed, install the child restraint in another
seating position.

Seat)
{ Warning
A
child in a child restraint in the center front

Securing Child Restraints (With
