5 Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted,
then buckle (Fig. D).
• When correctly reclined, the red line on
restraint will be level with the ground.
• If there is a problem stabilizing the restraint,
place a rolled towel in the crease of the
vehicle seat to help level the restraint.
WARNING: Only raise restraint as described
above. Do not raise the restraint off of
the front edge of vehicle seat; doing so
will reduce the protection for your child.
6 Push the restraint firmly into the vehicle
seat while removing slack from the lap
portion of the vehicle belt, then the
shoulder portion (Fig. E).
7 Adjust handle to In-Vehicle position.
8 Verify that vehicle belt is tight and that
