6. To tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint,
pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the
lap portion of the belt and feed the shoulder
belt back into the retractor. You may find it helpful
to use your knee to push down on the child
restraint as you tighten the belt.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety
belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an
adult or larger child passenger.
Turn on the passenger’s airbag or airbags when you
remove the child restraint from the vehicle unless
the person who will be sitting there is a member of a
passenger airbag risk group. See Airbag Off Switch on
page1-48.
{CAUTION:
If the passenger’s frontal airbag and side
impact airbag (if equipped) are turned off for a
person who is not in a risk group identified by
the national government, that person will not
have the extra protection of an airbag. In a
crash, an airbag will not be able to inflate and
help protect the person sitting there. Do not
turn off the passenger’s frontal airbag and side
impact airbag (if equipped) unless the person
sitting there is in a risk group. See Airbag Off
Switch on page1-48 for more on this,
including important safety information.
