Outboard Rear Seat Installation

Rear Safety Seat Belt Label:

If the vehicle is equipped with rear seat safety belts containing a cinch tongue, the rear outboard safety belts will have the label shown.

Install a child safety seat in a rear outboard seating position having a combination lap and shoulder belt with cinch tongue as follows:

1. Grasp the belt webbing below the tongue and pull as much of the belt out of the retractor as possible. Hold the belt out.

Pulling The Belt Out:

2. With other hand, grasp the tip (metal portion) of the tongue (not the cover) and slide the tongue up the webbing as far as it will go. Release the tongue, but do not let go of the lap portion of belt webbing.

NOTE: The belt webbing below the tongue is the lap belt portion of the combination lap/shoulder belt, and the belt webbing above the tongue is the shoulder belt portion of the combination lap/shoulder belt

3. While still holding the belt webbing below the tongue in one hand, use other hand to grasp the tip (metal portion) of the tongue and belt webbing together, and again pull out as much of the belt as possible. Then, let go of the lap portion of belt webbing.

Routing Safety Belt:

4. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together, route the tongue and webbing through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturers instructions. Be sure that the belt webbing is not twisted.

Buckling The Safety Belt:

5. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for that seating position until a click is heard and a latching is felt. Make sure the tongue is securely latched to the buckle by pulling on tongue.

Tighten Lap Belt:

6. Push down on the child seat and pull up on the shoulder belt portion to tighten the lap belt portion of the combination lap and shoulder belt.





7. Grasp belt close to child safety seat and pull on the shoulder belt portion of the combination lap/shoulder belt, then allow belt to retract and remove all slack to securely tighten child safety seat in the vehicle.

Tilt Child Safety Seat Side-to-Side:

Tilt Child Safety Seat Forward:

8. Before placing the child into the child seat, forcibly tilt the child safety seat from side-to-side and in forward directions to make sure that the seat is held securely in place. If the child safety seat moves excessively, repeat Steps 6 through 8, or properly install the child safety seat in a different seating position.
