Proper use of a locking clip maintains a tight, secure
installation by preventing the seat belt from becoming
loose over time.
WARNING:
• Failure to properly lock the seat belt will result in an
unsafe installation that will greatly increase the poten-
tial for injury or death to the child in an accident.
• If your vehicle lap shoulder seat belt is equipped with ELR
(Emergency Locking Retractor) that does not switch to
function as ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor), you
MUST use a locking clip to secure lap portion of vehicle
seat belt.
If you have any questions about the specic type of seat belt
system in your vehicle and its operation, consult vehicle
owner’s manual or contact vehicle manufacturer.
1. Remove locking clip from storage
location on restraint back.

instructions (see pages 16 and 22

shoulder belts. (Fig. 2)
