Tips

TIP:

If you’re having difficulty

attaining a tight installation in

harness mode using the short belt

route, try reclining the vehicle seat

back during installation. Once the

installation process is complete,

return the vehicle seat back to the

most upright position possible. See

Figure A.

NOTE: This tip will only be helpful if your vehicle seat back is able to

recline. See page 15 for important information on choosing a vehicle

seating position. The back seat is the safest place for children 12 and

under.

TIP:

When installing the child seat

using the short belt route (Figure B):

Buckle the vehicle belt or attach

•

the LATCH connectors to the

vehicle anchors.
Pull the vehicle buckle stalk or

•

LATCH connectors into the belt

slot to properly align it into the

belt path.
Tighten.

Troubleshooting
Problem: The harness is hard to adjust.
Possible Solution: Check that the harness slots in the head

restraint and harness adjuster are properly aligned. Do not use the

head restraint adjuster when the harness is attached.
Possible Solution: The yoke may be caught on a strap or other

component of the child seat. Remove the obstruction and try

adjusting the harness again.
Problem: The adjuster strap is fraying at the sides:
Possible Solution: Pull the harness adjuster strap away from the

child seat (parallel to the ground) to tighten. Do not pull sideways.

Doing so may cause the harness adjuster strap to fray at the sides.

See page 57.
Problem: The buckle will not fasten with a click after each tongue

is inserted.
Possible solution: There may be debris in the buckle mechanism.

Clean the buckle as shown on page 67 and try fastening the

buckle again.
If you have misplaced your head restraint lock-out screw, you

can purchase a replacement #8 x ½” sheet metal screw at any

hardware store.
