7 . 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 ).
8 . To remove the child restraint system , follow the reverse procedures of installation .
& Tether Anchorages s01ag09
Your vehicle is equipped with 3 tether anchorages so that a child restraint system having a tether can be installed in the rear seat . When installing a child restraint system using tether , proceed as follows , while observing the instructions by the child restraint system manufacturer .
Since a tether can provide additional stability by offering another connection between a child restraint system and the vehicle , we recommend that you use a tether whenever one is required or available .
