Seating and safety restraints If both tongues do not latch in the buckle, do not use the child seat. See your dealer for repairs. 8. Fasten the left and right chest clip halves together to hold the shoulder belts in place comfortably on the child's shoulders. Verify that the indicator window on the chest clip is green to ensure a proper chest clip connection. • When either of the tongues or the chest clip is unbuckled, the red color appears in the window. • The chest clip is designed to pull apart easily in the event of collision. The clip helps keep the belts on the shoulders of a squirming or sleeping child. 9. Pull on the safety belt tongues to ensure they are both securely latched. If they are not latched, repeat steps seven and eight. If necessary, the shoulder belts can be put in the automatic lock mode to limit the child's movement in the child seat. The mode may be used if the child is sleeping or attempting to get out of the child seat. If not placed in an automatic locking mode, the child seat shoulder belts are in the vehicle sensitive (emergency locking) mode which locks the shoulder belt in the event of a crash, hard braking, or hard cornering. 80
