APD0534 PD1174 PD1331 Installation on rear seat Center lap belt When you install a child restraint in a rear center seat, follow these steps: 1. Position the child restraint on the seat as illustrated. It can be placed in a forward facing or rear facing direction, depending on the size of the child. Always follow the restraint manufacturer's instructions. 2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child restraint and insert it into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to follow the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for belt routing. 3. Remove all slack in the lap belt for a very tight fit by pulling forcefully on the lap belt adjustment. 4. Before placing the child in the child restraint, use force to tilt the child restraint from side to side, and tug it forward to make sure it is securely held in place. 5. If it is not secure, try to tighten the belt again, or put the restraint in another seat. 6. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. Installation on rear outboard seating positions WARNING ● The 3-point belt in your vehicle is equipped with a locking mode retractor which must be used when installing a child restraint. ● Failure to do so will result in the child restraint not being properly secured. It could tip over or otherwise be unsecured and cause injury to the child in a sudden stop or collision. 2-32
