Locking a Vehicle Lap-Shoulder
Belt with a Locking Clip
Proper use of a locking clip maintains a tight, secure
installation by preventing the seat belt from becoming
loose over time.
WARNING:
Failure to properly lock the seat belt will result
in an unsafe installation that will greatly increase
the potential for injury or death to the child in an
accident.
If your vehicle lap shoulder seat belt is equipped
with ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor) that
does not switch to function as ALR (Automatic
Locking Retractor), you MUST use a locking clip
to secure lap portion of vehicle seat belt.
If you have any questions about the specific type of
seat belt system in your vehicle and its operation,
consult vehicle owners manual or contact vehicle
manufacturer.
1. Remove locking clip from storage location on
restraint back
2. Begin restraint installation as per instructions
(see pages 16 and 22 for lap-shoulder belt
installation instructions).

portions together with one
hand. (Fig.1) This
determines the correct
seat belt length to lock.

buckle.

and shoulder belts
together, attach locking clip
to the lap and shoulder
belts. (Fig. 2)
