9 . Before having a child sit in the child restraint system , try to move it back and forth and right and left to check if it is firmly secured . Sometimes a child restraint system can be more firmly secured by pushing it down into the seat cushion . It should not be possible to move the child restraint system more than 1 in ( 2.5 cm ).
10 . To remove the child restraint system , follow the reverse procedures of installation .
SUBARU recommends that you check with a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician to ensure the proper installation of your child restraint system . For more information , and to locate the closest inspection location in the U . S ., refer to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA ) website . In Canada , check with Transport Canada .
& Top tether anchorages
S01AG09
Your vehicle is equipped with five or six top tether anchorages so that a child restraint system having a top tether can be installed in the rear seat . When installing a child restraint system using top tether , proceed as follows , while observing the instructions by the child restraint system manufacturer .
Since a top tether can provide additional stability by offering another connection between a child restraint system and the vehicle , we recommend that you use a top tether whenever one is required or available .
