Installing A Child Restraint With A Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
- Place the child seat in the center of the seating
position. For some second row seats, you may need to
recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint to get a
better fit. If the rear seat can be moved forward and
rearward in the vehicle, you may wish to move it to its
rear-most position to make room for the child seat.You may also move the front seat forward to allow
more room for the child seat.
- Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor
to pass it through the belt path of the child restraint.Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
- Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a
"click."
- Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight
against the child seat.
- To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of
the belt until you have pulled all the seat belt webbing
out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to retract
back into the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you
will hear a clicking sound. This means the seat belt is
now in the Automatic Locking mode.
- Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is
locked, you should not be able to pull out any webbing.If the retractor is not locked, repeat step 5.
- Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the
lap portion around the child restraint while you push
the child restraint rearward and downward into the
vehicle seat.
- If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the
seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect
the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See the
section "Installing Child Restraints
Using The Top Tether Anchorage" for directions to
attach a tether anchor.
- Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by
pulling back and forth on the child seat at the belt
path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm)
in any direction.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary
