OMV043087L_2

Operation

  1. Place the Child Restraint System on a rear seat and route the lap/shoulder belt around or through the Child Restraint System.

  2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into the buckle.

  3. Remove as much slack from the belt as possible by pushing down on the Child Restraint System while feeding the shoulder belt back into the retractor.

  4. Push and pull on the Child Restraint System to confirm that the seat belt is holding it firmly in place.

  5. If your Child Restraint System manufacturer recommends the use of a top-tether with the lap/shoulder belt, see Securing a child restraint system seat with the "top-tether anchorage" system section in this chapter.

  6. To remove the Child Restraint System, press the release button on the buckle, and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of the Child Restraint System and allow the seat belt to retract fully.
