A child restraint system secured with a seat belt should be installed as firmly as possible. However, it does not need to be ‘‘rock solid.’’ Some side-to-side movement can be expected and should not reduce the child restraint system’s ef f ectiveness. If you use a lap/shoulder belt without a lockable retractor, be sure you install a locking clip on the seat belt (see page ).After installing a child restraint system, push and pull the restraint system f orward and f rom side-to-side to verif y that it is secure. If the child restraint system is not secure, try installing it in a dif f erent seating position, or use a dif f erent style of child restraint system that can be f irmly secured. Af ter selecting a proper child restraint system and a good place to install the restraint system, there are three main steps in installing the restraint system: All child restraint systems must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt or with the lower anchorages system. A child whose restraint system is not properly secured to the vehicle can be endangered in a crash.Make sure the child is properly strapped in the child restraint system according to the child restraint system maker’s instructions. A child who is not properly secured in a child restraint system can be seriously injuredinacrash. The f ollowing pages provide the recommended child restraint systems f or EU countries and guidelines on how to properly install a child restraint system. A f ront f acing child restraint system is used in all examples, but the instructions are the same f or a rearward f acing child restraint system.

Make sure the child restraint is positionedwellbackintheseat- back. If you place the child restraint system in either rear outer seating position and use the tether strap f or additional security, make sure to push down the head restraint to the lowest position and attach the attaching clip to the anchor fitting bef ore securing the child restraint system with the lap/shoulder belt. To properly route a lap/shoulder belt through a child restraint system, f ollow the restraint system maker’s instructions. When not using the lower anchorages system, all child restraint systems must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/ shoulder belt. In addition, the lap/shoulder belts in the back seating positions have a lockable retractor that must be activated to secure a child restraint system. To check if the lap/shoulder belt is equipped with the lockable retractor, pull the lap part of the lap/shoulder belt all the way out, let the belt retract slowly, then pull the belt again gently. If the belt is locked, the belt is equipped with the lockable retractor. If it is not, f ollow the instruction on page .1. 56 Inst alling a Child Rest raint Syst em Driver and Passenger Saf ety Installing a Child Restraint System with a L ap/Shoulder Belt (with a L ockable Retractor) 53 09/01/28 17:39:00 32SMG631_058
