2. Move the button the locking tongue to child seat position to activate the locking feature. See Figure 1.

3. Secure the lower part of the child safety seat by means of the safety belt as described in the child seat mounting instructions.

4. Tension the lap belt portion to the child safety seat to remove any slack by pulling upwards at the shoulder portion of the belt.

5. Check that the locking feature has engaged by pulling slightly at the lap belt portion. The belt must not spool out.
