Installing Belt-based Child
Restraint Systems
Always follow the detailed instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the child
restraint system. Follow these general
guidelines for belt-based child restraint
systems:
• Ensure that the child restraint system is
appropriate for the weight, height, and
age of the child.
•
Avoid dressing the child in bulky clothing.
• Do not place any objects between the
child and the child restraint system.
•
Adjust the child restraint system's
harnesses for every child, every trip.
1.
Place the child restraint system in the
appropriate seat and fully extend the seat
belt. Route and buckle the seat belt in
accordance with the instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the child restraint
system.
2.
Allow the seat belt to retract, and remove
all slack in the seat belt while firmly
pushing the child restraint system into the
vehicle's seat.
3.
Attach the upper tether strap(s), as
required by the manufacturer of the child
restraint system (see
Attaching Upper
Tether Straps on page 42).
Installing ISOFIX/i-Size Child
Restraint Systems
Model 3's rear outboard seating positions are
equipped with ISOFIX/i-Size anchor bars.
These anchor bars are located between the
seat's cushion and back rest. The exact
location of each anchor bar is identified by a
marking (illustrated below) located on the
seat back, directly above its associated
anchor bars.
To install an ISOFIX/i-Size child restraint
system, carefully read and follow the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of
the child restraint system. These instructions
describe how to slide the child restraint
system onto the seat’s anchor bars until you
hear it "click" into place. You may need to
push the child restraint system
firmly against
the seat back to ensure it fits snugly.
