7. Pull the lap belt portion across

the child seat toward the buckle
and pull up on the shoulder belt
while pushing down with your
knee on the child seat.

8. Allow the seat belt to retract to

remove any slack in the belt.

9. Before placing the child in the

seat, forcibly tilt the seat
forward and back to make sure
the seat is securely held in
place. To check this, grab the
seat at the belt path and
attempt to move it side to side
and forward and back. There
should be no more than one
inch (2.5 cm) of movement for proper installation.

10. Try to pull the belt out of the retractor to make sure the retractor is

in the automatic locking mode (you should not be able to pull more
belt out). If the retractor is not locked, unbuckle the belt and repeat
Steps two through nine.

Check to make sure the child seat is properly secured before each use.

Attaching child safety seats with tether straps

Most new forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which
goes over the back of the seat and hooks to an anchoring point. Tether
straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats. Contact
the manufacturer of your child seat for information about ordering a
tether strap.

The rear seating positions of your vehicle are equipped with built-in
tether strap anchors located behind the seats as described below.

The tether anchors in your vehicle are located on the roof panel in the
cargo area.
