Push child restraint firmly into vehicle seat while
removing slack from vehicle belt.
Position vehicle belt through lock-off (fig. D),
tighten belt, close lock-off arm 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.
