WARNING
Vehicles with rear power seats:
Never change the rear seat position after installing the child restraint. This could
• damage the child restraint
• introduce undesirable slack or tension into the seat belt
• loosen the child restraint
• misposition the child restraint
All of the above will lessen the effectiveness of the child restraint and thus increase the chance or severity of injury in an accident.
