Securing a child restraint with
a lap belt or lap/shoulder belt
When not using the ISOFIX anchor-
ages system, all child restraints must
be secured to a vehicle rear seat with
the lap belt or the lap part of a
lap/shoulder belt.
Installing a child restraint with a
lap belt
To install a child restraint system on
the center rear seats, do the follow-
ing:
1.Place the child restraint system on
the center rear seat and route the
lap belt through the restraint, fol-
lowing the restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is
not twisted.
2. Fasten the lap belt latch into the
buckle. Listen for the distinct “click”
sound.
3. Adjust the lap belt for a snug hold
on the child restraint by pulling the
loose end of the belt.
4. Push and pull on the child restraint
system to confirm that the seat
belt is holding it firmly in place.
If your CRS manufacturer instructs or
recommends you use a ISOFIX top-
tether anchorage with the lap belt,
see page 2-45.
To remove the child restraint, press
the release button on the buckle and
then pull the lap belt out of the
restraint.
ALWAYS place a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat of
the vehicle.
Placing a rear-facing child
restraint in the front seat can
result in serious injury or death
if the child restraint is struck by
an inflating air bag.
