THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 55 7. Return the seatback to an upright position. 8. Install the child restraint according to the manufacturer's directions. 9. Remove slack from the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's directions. WARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap. Installing Child Restraints Using the Vehicle Seat belt The passenger seat belt is equipped with an automatic locking retractor for child restraint system installation. It is designed to keep the lap portion of the restraint held tightly to the passenger seat. Seat belts equipped with automatic locking retractors have a distinctive label on the webbing. (Refer to "Automatic Locking Mode" in this section for additional information). To restrain the child seat: 1. Pull enough webbing from the retractor to allow the belt to pass through the child restraint and insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a "click." 2. Grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull all of the webbing out of the retractor. 3. Allow some of the webbing to retract back into the retractor. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound indicating that the belt is now in automatic locking mode. 2
