Preparation and Initial Safety Checks

1. Make sure vehicle is on level ground so that the	Ê
level indicator, which is attached to the safety seat,

can be used to properly recline the safety seat Ê.

2.Make sure you have selected a suitable location for the safety seat as explained in section 4,

“Selecting a Suitable Location for the Safety Seat” (page 13).

3.Check again to be sure that the vehicle seat does

not have an air bag, and that an adjacent seat’s air bag will not strike the safety seat.

4.If a front passenger seat is used, 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 safety seat.

5.Be sure that the vehicle seat is locked in position and cannot swing freely down toward the child.
