3. Push the child-restraint system firmly 

into the vehicle seat. Be sure the belt 
retracts as snugly as possible. Clicking 
from the retractor will be heard during 
retraction if the system is in the 
automatic locking mode. If the belt 
does not lock the seat down tight, 
repeat this step.

4. If your child-restraint system requires 

the use of a tether strap, hook and 
tighten the tether strap by following the 
manufacturer

s instructions.

NOTE

Inspect this function before each use of 
the child-restraint system. You should 
not be able to pull the shoulder belt out 
of the retractor while the system is in 
the automatic locking mode. When 
you remove the child-restraint system, 
be sure the belt fully retracts to return 
the system to emergency locking mode 
before occupants use the seat belts.

Child-Restraint Tether Usage:
Using the tether or tether anchor to 
secure anything but a child-restraint 
system is dangerous. This could 
weaken or damage the tether or tether 
anchor and result in injury. Use the 
tether and tether anchor only for a 
child-restraint system.
