3. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of

the child restraint to the lower anchorages
in the selected seating position.

4. If the child restraint has a tether strap,

connect it to the top tether anchorage.
See the section “Installing Child Re-
straints Using the Top Tether Anchorage”
for directions to attach a tether anchor.

5. Tighten all of the straps as you push the

child restraint rearward and downward
into the seat. Remove slack in the straps
according to the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.

6. Test that the child restraint is installed

tightly by pulling back and forth on the
child seat at the belt path. It should not
move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any
direction.

How To Stow An Unused Switchable-ALR
(ALR) Seat Belt:

When using the LATCH attaching system to
install a child restraint, stow all ALR seat
belts that are not being used by other occu-
pants or being used to secure child restraints.

An unused belt could injure a child if they
play with it and accidentally lock the seat belt
retractor. Before installing a child restraint
using the LATCH system, buckle the seat belt
behind the child restraint and out of the
child’s reach. If the buckled seat belt inter-
feres with the child restraint installation,
instead of buckling it behind the child re-
straint, route the seat belt through the child
restraint belt path and then buckle it. Do not
lock the seat belt. Remind all children in the
vehicle that the seat belts are not toys and
that they should not play with them.

WARNING!

• Improper installation of a child restraint

to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of the restraint. The child could
be badly injured or killed. Follow the
child restraint manufacturer’s directions
exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.

WARNING!

• Child restraint anchorages are designed

to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly-fitted child restraints. Un-
der no circumstances are they to be
used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or
for attaching other items or equipment
to the vehicle.

Installing Child Restraints Using The
Vehicle Seat Belt

Child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the
lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.

WARNING!

• Improper installation or failure to prop-

erly secure a child restraint can lead to
failure of the restraint. The child could
be badly injured or killed.

• Follow the child restraint manufactur-

er’s directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint.
