Pontiac 2000 sunfire Automobile User Manual


 
1-44
If you have a convertible, don’t use a restraint like that
in your vehicle because the top strap anchor cannot be
installed properly. You shouldn’t use this type of
restraint without anchoring the top strap.
If your vehicle is not a convertible, top strap anchors are
already installed for the rear seating positions. You’ll
find them behind the rear seat on the filler panel.
Anchor the top strap to this bracket. Once you have the
top strap anchored, you’ll be ready to secure the child
restraint itself.
Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear
Outside Seat Position
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier
part about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the
child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint
when and as the instructions say.
1. Put the restraint on the seat.
2. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
