position whenever possible. If all children cannot be seated and

restrained properly in a rear seating position, properly restrain the

largest child in the front seat.

When installing a child safety seat with combination lap/shoulder belts:

• Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position.

• Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap

and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the

buckle.

• Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety

seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button,

to help prevent accidental unbuckling.

• Place vehicle seat back in upright position.

• For second row seating positions, if needed, the recliner may be

adjusted slightly to improve child seat fit. If needed the head

restraints may be removed.

• For third row seating positions the head restraints may be stowed to

improve child seat fit, if needed. Refer to Rear seats in this chapter

for information on folding the head restraints.

• Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to Step 5

below. This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.

WARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint,

and depending on the child restraint design, you may block

access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LATCH lower

anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of

injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able

to be properly restrained.

Perform the following steps when installing the child seat with

combination lap/shoulder belts:

Note: Although the child seat illustrated is a forward facing child seat,

the steps are the same for installing a rear facing child seat.

Note: The ’Lock-off’ device on some child restraints may not

accommodate the shoulder portion of the inflatable safety belt. Follow all

instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint

regarding the necessary and proper use of the ’Lock-off’ device. In some

instances these devices have been provided only for use in vehicles with

safety belt systems that would otherwise require a locking clip. This

vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.
