Definition:These belts only lock in a sudden stop or  
crash.To see if you have this type of belt, pull on the lap  
belt, let it return part way, then pull on it again. If it  
moves freely, it is an ELR belt and the child restraint

equipped with LATCH.  
The LATCH system allows  
a child restraint to be  
secured in the vehicle  
without using the vehicle  
belt system and can ONLY  
be used in vehicles that  
have the anchor bars  
installed.  
ELR shoulder belts either require a locking clip or cannot  
be used with any child restraint. Note:You may use an  
ELR lap and shoulder belt when using this child restraint  
as belt-positioning booster; no locking clip is required.  
ELR lap-only belts must be replaced with a manual belt;  
contact your vehicle dealer. A locking clip will not  
correct this problem.  
Check your vehicle owners  
manual to see which  
seating positions may be  
equipped with the LATCH  
system.  
Autom atic/Passive vehicle seat belts  
Automatic (passive) 2-point belt has no lap belt.You must  
install a lap belt to secure a child restraint.You may also  
need to install an extra lap belt for an automatic 3-point  
belt. Refer to the vehicles owners manual. A locking clip  
will not correct this problem.

If LATCH is not an option,  
you will use your vehicles

Manual Belts  
1
Lockin g Clip  
Manual lap belts are  
common in the center rear  
seat and can allow the child  
restraint to loosen when it  
is tilted or jarred. After  
tightening the lap belt  
securely, tilt and push the  
child restraint forward and  
to both sides. If no  
loosening occurs, your child  
restraint should be secure.  
NOTE: The locking clip is located on the back of the seat.  
You do not need a locking clip when using this seat as a  
belt-positioning booster.  
Remove the locking clip when the seat belt is not being  
used with a child restraint. A locking clip will not fix all  
types of seat belt problems.  
Before you put your child restraint in the vehicle, buckle the  
lap/shoulder belt. Pull on the lap belt portion. If it loosens or  
slips, you must either use a locking clip to hold the seat belt  
tight or move the child restraint to another seating location.  
Thread both vehicle lap  
If loosening does occur, do  
the following: If the latch  
plate slides on the belt, turn  
the latch plate over. If the  
buckle slides, turn the  
buckle. Refasten the vehicle  
lap belt.The release button  
should face out after  
twisting so that it is easy to  
reach in an emergency.
