When installing a child safety seat with combination lap and shoulder belts: • Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position. • Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle. • Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button, to prevent accidental unbuckling.

Use a child safety seat (sometimes called

an infant carrier, convertible seat, or

toddler seat) for infants, toddlers, or

children weighing 40 pounds (18

kilograms) or less (generally age four or

younger).

Using Lap and Shoulder Belts

WARNINGS

Airbags can kill or injure a child in a

child seat. Never place a rear-facing

child seat in front of an active airbag.

If you must use a forward-facing child seat

in the front seat, move the seat upon which

the child seat is installed all the way back.

Airbags can kill or injure a child in a

child seat. Children 12 and under

should be properly restrained in the

rear seat whenever possible.

Depending on where you secure a

child restraint, and depending on the

child restraint design, you may block

access to certain safety belt buckle

assemblies and LATCH lower anchors,

rendering those features potentially

unusable. To avoid risk of injury, occupants

should only use seating positions where

they are able to be properly restrained.

When installing a child safety seat with

combination lap and shoulder belts:

•

Use the correct safety belt buckle for

that seating position.

•

Insert the belt tongue into the proper

buckle until you hear a snap and feel it

latch. Make sure the tongue is securely

fastened in the buckle.

•

Keep the buckle release button

pointing up and away from the safety

seat, with the tongue between the child

seat and the release button, to prevent

accidental unbuckling.

•

Place the vehicle seat upon which the

child seat will be installed in the upright

position.

•

Put the safety belt in the automatic

locking mode. See Step 5. This vehicle

does not require the use of a locking

clip.

Perform the following steps when

installing the child seat with combination

lap and shoulder belts:

Note:

Although the child seat illustrated is

a forward facing child seat, the steps are

the same for installing a rear facing child

seat.

E142528

Position the child safety seat in a seat

with a combination lap and shoulder

belt.

E142529

Pull down on the shoulder belt and

then grasp the shoulder belt and lap
