9.0 Installing Base Using Vehicle Seat Belt

You must carefully follow the instructions provided by your vehicle manufacturer, in addition to the information in this manual. Before proceeding be sure you have read and understood, “7.0 Choosing an Appropriate Vehicle Seat

Location” on pages 22-26.

Make sure vehicle is on level ground A and not like in picture B.

If a front passenger seat is used (see air bag warning, page 4), slide the vehicle seat rearward as far as possible from the dashboard. If a rear seat is used, make sure the seat in front of it is moved forward enough and is upright enough to allow room for the child restraint.

When using the vehicle seat belts to install the base, the lock-off is ALWAYS used to secure both belts of the lap or lap/shoulder belt.

1.Position base in vehicle seat as shown C.

2.Open the lock-off and route the vehicle belt through the belt path and over the lock-off D.

3.Buckle seat belt. Pull up on shoulder belt while pushing down on base to tighten E.

4.Close lock-off F.

5.Test base for secure installation by moving front to back and left to right at the belt path G. Base should not move more than 1 inch ( 2.54 cm). If belt loosens or lengthens, repeat procedure.

Lap Belt H and Lap/Shoulder Belt I should appear as shown when installed.
