THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 69 Installing Child Restraints Using the Vehicle Seat Belt The second and third row seats have either cinching latch plates or automatic locking retractors which are designed to keep the lap portion tight around the child restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip. If the seat belt has a cinching latch plate, pulling up on the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder belt will tighten the belt. The cinching latch plate will keep the belt tight, however, any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary. If the seat belt has a automatic locking retractor, it will have a distinctive label. Pull the belt from the retractor until there is enough to allow you to pass through the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle. Then, pull the belt until it is all extracted from the retractor. Allow the belt to return to the retractor, pulling on the excess webbing to tighten the lap portion about the child restraint. Refer to Automatic Locking Mode earlier in this section. 2 Second Row Seat Tether Anchors Child Restraints in Third Row Seating (If Equipped) For vehicles equipped with third row split bench (60/40) seating, the tether strap anchorage is located on the seat back behind the center seating position. The hooks in the rear floor are NOT designed to withstand the forces that may occur during a crash.
