Activating the convertible locking retractor
Use the convertible locking retractor to secure a
child restraint.
Always heed the child safety seat manufacturer's
instructions when installing a child restraint in
your vehicle. To activate the convertible locking
retractor:
.,. Place the child restraint on a seat, preferably
on the rear seat.
.,. Slowly pull the belt
all the way out.
.,. Route it around or through the child restraint
belt path
¢ _A .
.,. Push the child safety seat down with your full
weight to get the safety belt really tight .
.,. Insert the belt tongue into the buckle for that
seating position .
234
.,. Guide the safety belt back into the retractor un­
til the belt lies flat and snug on the child safety
seat.
.,. You should hear a "clicking" noise as the belt
winds back into the inertia reel. Test the con­
vertible locking retractor by pulling on the belt .
You should no longer be able to pull the belt
out of the retractor. The convertible locking re­
tractor is now activated.
.,. Make sure that the red release button is facing
away from the child restraint so that it can be
unbuckled quickly.
.,. Pull on the belt to make sure the safety belt is
properly tight and fastened so that the seat
cannot move forward and sideways more than
1 in (2.5 cm).
_&. WARNING
Using the wrong child restraint or an improp­
erly installed child restraint can cause serious
personal injury or death in a crash.

Child safety
LATCH system (lower
anchorages and tethers
for children)
Child Restraint System anchors and how
are they related to child safety
To p rovide a s imp ler and more practicab le way to
attach the ch ild rest raint o n the vehicle seat,
Federal regulations require spec ial lower ancho­
rages in vehicles and devices on new ch ild re ­
straints to attach to the vehicle anchorages.
T he combinatio n of t he tether anchorages and
t h e lowe r anchorages is now generally called the
LATCH system for " Lower Anchorages and
T ethers for C hild ren." In Canada, the terms "top
tethe r" with "lower universal anchorages" (or
"lower universa l anchorage bars") are used to de­
scribe the system.
Forward-facing chi ld restrain ts manufactured af ­
ter September
1, 1999, are required by U.S. fed ­
era l reg ulations to comply with new child head
movement performance requ irements. These
new performance requ irements make a tether
necessary on most new child seats .
Installing a ch ild restraint that requires a top
tether without one can seriously impair the per­
formance of the ch ild restraint and its ab ility to
protect the child in a collision . Installing a child
restra int that requires a top tether without the
top tether may be a violat ion of state law.
Child restra int manufacturers offer LATCH lower
anchorages on their child seats w ith hook -on or
push-on connecto rs attached to adjustable
straps .
In add ition to the LATCH lower anchorages, these
child restraint systems usually requ ire the use of
tethe r straps to help keep the child restra int
firmly in p lace .
A WARNING
Imp roper installation of child restra ints w ill
i nc rease the risk of injury and dea th in a
crash.
235

Child safety
-Always follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the child restra int you
intend to install in your vehicle.
- Never install a child restraint without a
properly attached top tether strap if the
child restraint manufacturer's instruct ions
requ ire the top tether strap to be used.
- Improper use of child restraint LATCH lower
anchorage points can lead to injury in a colli­
sion. The LATCH lower anchorage points a re
designed to withstand only those loads im­
posed by correct ly fitted child rest raints.
- Never mount two ch ild restraint systems on
one LATCH lower a nchorage point.
- Never secure or attach any luggage or other
item to the LATCH lower anchorages .
(D Tips
-In Canada, the terms "top tether" with
"lower u niversal anchorages" (or "lower uni­
ve rsal anchorage bars") are used to describe
the system.
- In other countries, the term "ISOFIX" is
u sed to describe the lower anchorages.
