4� Route vehicle belt across seat, behind buckle strap, then through second rear-facing belt slot.

5� Verify vehicle belt is not twisted, then buckle (fig. C).

6� Push restraint firmly into seat while removing slack first from the lap portion of vehicle belt, then shoulder portion (fig. D).

7� Lift cover to access lock-off farthest from vehicle buckle. Position both sections of vehicle belt through lock-off, tighten belt, close lock-off arm (fig. E) and replace cover.

•Lock-off is properly closed when a click is heard.

•To prevent breakage, never extend lock-off arm beyond its natural open position and always keep lock-off closed when not in use.

•If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic locking retractor (ALR), use of lock-offs is not required as long as ALR is activated. Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine type of retractor your vehicle has, and for proper use of retractor.
