92 Seats and Restraints
3. Pick up the latch plate and run the lap and
s
h
oulder 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
handles or plastic trim. The child restraint
instructions will show you how.
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.
5. Pull the shoulder belt all the way out of the
retractor to set the lock. When the retractor
lock is set, the belt can be tightened but not
pulled out of the retractor.
6. To tighten the belt, push down on the
ch
ild restraint, 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 aforward-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, move the seat upward
and repeat prior installation steps. If there
is still 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 5 and 6.
7. Before placing achild in the child restraint,
make 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.
