Britax CS Manual De Usuario

To prevent damage, never extend the lock-

•

off arm beyond its normal open position and

always keep the lock-off closed when it is

not in use.
If your vehicle is equipped with an

•

automatic locking retractor (ALR), use of

lock-offs is not required as long as the

ALR is locked. Check your vehicle owner’s

manual to determine the type of retractor

your vehicle has, and how to lock the

retractor.

Verify that vehicle belt is tight and that the

child seat is secure.

The child seat is secure when it cannot

•

be moved more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) front-

to-back or side-to-side at the belt path.

If the child seat is not secure, repeat the

procedure or use an alternate seating

location.
When properly installed in the rear-facing

•

position, the back angle of the child seat

should be 30º– 45º from vertical (not to

exceed 45º) when the car is parked on a

level surface (Fig. G).
If necessary, the proper recline angle can

•

be achieved by placing a rolled towel or

pool noodle in the seat bight to level the

child seat’s base.

Rear-facing installation can be improved by the use of the Versa-

•

Tether

. See pages 25–28.

Figure A illustrates a rear-facing, lap-

•

shoulder belt installation.
When not in use, always store the LATCH

•

connectors in the storage slots. See page 30.

Recline the child seat and place it rear-

facing on the vehicle seat. This child

seat must be in the recline position when

installed rear-facing. See Recline Adjustment

on page 30.
Lift the cover to open the rear-facing lock-off

farthest from where the vehicle belt will be

buckled (Fig. B).
Pull the vehicle belt out, then pass it

under the

LATCH bar and through the rear-facing belt slot

(Fig. C).

The vehicle belt can be routed over or under

•

cover.

Route the vehicle belt across seat then

through the opposite rear-facing belt slot

and under the LATCH bar.

IMPORTANT: The vehicle belt must rest behind

the child seat buckle strap.

Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted,

position the lap belt portion through the open

lock-off, then buckle

(Fig. D).

Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle

seat while removing slack first from the lap

portion of the vehicle belt, then the shoulder

portion (Fig. E).
Position both sections of the vehicle belt

through the open lock-off, tighten belt, close

the lock-off arm (Fig. F) and replace the

cover.

The lock-off is properly closed when a click

•

is heard.
