Thank you for choosing this car seat,referred to
throughout this manual as a child restraint.The DJG
family is committed to creating a child restraint with the
most comfort and convenience available today.
Remember,parents are a child’s first teachers and
examples.If you always buckle your seat belt, your child
will think it is the natural thing to do. Make it a firm rule
that the vehicle does not go until everyone is buckled
up. Make no exceptions.
No one can predict if use of a child restraint will
prevent injury or death in a particular crash. However,
combined with careful driving,proper use of a child
restraint can lower a child’s risk of injury or death in
most crashes.
Your child’s safety is worth the time it will take to read
and follow these instructions.After reading,if you still
have questions or have any problems with this child
restraint,please contact our Consumer Relations

Choosing LATCH or Vehicle Belts
The LATCH System
Anchor bars
Vehicle Belts
If LATCH is not an
option,you will use your
vehicle’s belts. In most
cases you will use the
lap/shoulder belt
combination. There are
some vehicle belts that
will not work with a child
restraint or will require
special attention. See
next page for specific
instructions.
LATCH means Lower
Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren.Not all vehicles
manufactured before
September 2002 were
equipped with LATCH.
The LATCH system allows
a child restraint to be
secured in the vehicle
without using the vehicle
belt system and can ONLY
be used in vehicles that
have the anchor bars
installed.
Check your vehicle
owners manual to see
which seating positions
may be equipped with the
LATCH system.
4358-3775B Scenera OHB 5/30/06 2:09 PM Page 21

20 21
Not all vehicle belts will work with this child restraint.
You must determine if your vehicles belts are compatible
with this child restraint. If you will use the LATCH
system,refer to the LATCH section.
ELR - Emergency Locking Retractor Belts
Definition:These belts only lock in a sudden stop or
crash.To see if you have this type of belt,pull on the lap
belt,let it return part way, then pull on it again. If it
moves freely,it is an ELR belt and the child restraint
could work loose during normal driving.Refer to your
vehicle owner’s manual.
ELR shoulder belts either require a locking clip or
cannot be used with any child restraint.
ELR lap-only belts must be replaced with a manual belt;
contact your vehicle dealer. A locking clip will not
correct this problem.
Automatic/Passive vehicle seat belts
Automatic (passive) 2-point belt has no lap belt.You
must install a lap belt to secure a child restraint.You may
also need to install an extra lap belt for an automatic 3-
point belt.Refer to the vehicles owner’s manual. A
locking clip will not correct this problem.
Vehicle belt too short
Contact your vehicle dealer for a seat belt extender.
Belts in center of the door or side panel (A) or
middle of the vehicle seat cushion (B).
You must move the child restraint to another seating
location.A locking clip will not fix this problem.

Manual Belts
Manual lap belts are
common in the center
rear seat and can allow
the child restraint to
loosen when it is tilted or
jarred. After tightening the
lap belt securely, tilt and
push the child restraint
forward and to both sides.
If no loosening occurs,
your child restraint should
be secure.
If loosening does occur,try
the following:If the buckle
plate slides on the belt,
turn the buckle plate over.
If the buckle slides,turn
the buckle. Refasten the
vehicle lap belt.The release
button should face out
after twisting so that it is
easy to reach in an
emergency.
If the lap belt continues to
loosen,the child restraint
must be moved to
another location in the
vehicle.A locking clip will
not correct this problem;
see your vehicle owner’s
manual.

Locking Clip
NOTE: Remove the locking clip when the seat belt is not
being used with a child restraint. The locking clip is located
on the back of the seat.A locking clip will not fix all types
of seat belt problems.
Before you put your child restraint in the vehicle, buckle the
lap/shoulder belt.Pull on the lap belt portion.If it loosens or
slips,you must either use a locking clip to hold the seat belt
tight or move the child restraint to another seating location.
