Securing a Child Restraint
System with a lap/shoulder belt
When not using the ISOFIX system, all
Child Restraint Systems must be se‐
cured to a rear seat with the lap part of
a lap/shoulder belt.
Installing a Child Restraint System
with a lap/shoulder belt
To install a Child Restraint System on
the rear seats, do the following:
1. Place the Child Restraint System on
a rear seat and route the lap/
shoulder belt around or through
the Child Restraint System, follow‐
ing the Child Restraint System
manufacturer’s instructions.
Make sure the seat belt webbing is
not twisted.
2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch
into the buckle. Listen for the dis‐
tinct click sound. Position the re‐
lease button so that it is easy to
access in case of an emergency.
3. Remove as much slack from the
belt as possible by pushing down on
the Child Restraint System while
feeding the shoulder belt back into
the retractor.
4. Push and pull on the Child Restraint
System to confirm that the seat
belt is holding it firmly in place.
If your Child Restraint System manu‐
facturer recommends the use of a top-
tether with the lap/shoulder belt, see
Top-tether Anchorage system on
page 3-36.
To remove the Child Restraint System,
press the release button on the buckle
and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out
of the Child Restraint System and allow
the seat belt to retract fully.
