Installation: Rear Facing

Lap/Shoulder Belt Installation

Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing, lap/shoulder belt installation.

When not in use, always store LATCH connectors in storage slots. (see page 28).

1�Fully recline restraint then place it rear facing on vehicle seat.

2�Lift cover to open rear-facing lock-off farthest from where vehicle belt will be buckled (fig. B).

3�Pull vehicle belt out then pass it through farthest rear-facing belt slot from where vehicle belt will be buckled (fig. C).

• Vehicle belt can be routed over or under cover.

4�Route vehicle belt across seat then through second rear-facing belt slot.

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

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

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. F) 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.
