NEVER attach more than one
child restraint to a single teth-
er anchor. This could cause
the anchor or attachment tocome loose or break.
Do not attach the tether strap
to anything other than the cor-
rect tether anchor. It may not
work properly if attached to
something else.
Do not use the tether anchors

es, or for attaching other items
or equipment to the vehicle.

ward and from side-to-side.Securing a child restraint with
a lap belt or lap/shoulder belt
When not using the LATCH system,

Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and
only lock under extreme or emer-
gency conditions (emergency locking
mode), you must manually pull the
seat belt all the way out to shift the
retractor to the “Automatic Locking”
mode to secure a child restraint.
The “Automatic Locking” mode will
help prevent the normal movement
of the child in the vehicle from caus-ing the seat belt to loosen and com-
promise the child restraint system. To
secure a child restraint system, use
