Operation Manual

5. Remove any additional slack from the seat
belt; press downward and rearward firmly
in the center of the child restraint to
compress the vehicle seat cushion and
seatback while pulling up on the seat belt.
6. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the child
restraint near the seat belt path. The child
restraint should not move more than 1
inch (25 mm), from side to side. Try to tug
it forward and check to see if the belt
holds the restraint in place. If the re-
straint is not secure, tighten the seat belt
as necessary, or put the restraint in an-
other seat and test it again. You may need
to try a different child restraint. Not all
child restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
7. Check to make sure that the child re-
straint is properly secured prior to each
use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 1 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt fully retracted, the ALR mode (child re-
straint mode) is canceled.
