Before installation
SmartView Connect safety check
Confirm that your car has the required factory wired system and that the phone converter works with your regional vehicle software.
Use the camera as a viewing aid only. Install the child restraint first and keep mounts, cables and screens clear of the harness, belt path, lower anchors, tethers, airbags, controls and the child's reach.
