Children left unattended could play with the safety belts. The belt could become wrapped around the child’s neck and continue to tighten. The child could be injured or killed. Never allow children to play with the safety belts. Secure any unused safety belts behind the child restraint so children cannot reach them. NOTICE Contact between the child restraint’s lower attachment parts and the vehicle’s safety belt assembly may result in damage. If necessary, move the fastened safety belt so that the belt assembly and the lower attachment parts do not rub together. NOTICE Folding an empty rear seat with the safety belts secured may cause damage to the safety belt or the seat. Always remember to return the safety belts to their normal, stowed position before folding the rear seat. To secure a child restraint designed for this system, use the following procedure: 1. Locate the anchors where the seatback meets the back of the seat cushion. 2. Place the child restraint on the seat. 3. Attach the child restraint’s attachment points to the anchors in the vehicle, and tighten as necessary. Follow the instructions that come with the restraint. . . . 222

AKENG44_Escalade Page 223 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 2 CAUTION Each top strap anchor or set of attaching points is designed to hold only one child restraint. Attaching more than one child restraint to a single anchor or attaching point could cause the anchor or attaching point to come loose or even break during a collision. A child or others may be injured. To prevent injury to people and damage to the vehicle, attach only one child restraint per anchor or attaching point. 4. For a forward-facing child restraint, attach the top strap to the top strap anchor. See "Top Strap" earlier in this section. Consult the manufacturer's instructions to determine when and how to tighten the top strap. 5. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to make sure it is secure. To remove the child restraint, unhook the top strap (if equipped) from the top strap anchor and then disconnect the anchor points. Unbuckle the safety belts and return them to their normal position. If you have been in a collision, the anchoring system may have been damaged. Repairs may be necessary even if the anchoring system was not used at the time of the collision. Have the anchoring and restraint systems inspected after a collision. – – 223 . . .
