Securing a Child Seat with a Lap/
Shoulder Belt
The lap/shoulder belt retractor in
the passenger seating position has a
built-in locking mechanism intended
to secure a child seat. When you are
placing a child seat in the passenger's
seat, do the following:
1. Place the child restraint in the
passenger's seat. Route the lap/
shoulder belt through the seat
according to the seat manufac-
turer's instructions.
2. Insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Make sure it is fully
latched.

3. Slowly pull the shoulder portion of
the belt out of the retractor until it
stops.
4. Allow the belt to slowly feed back
into the retractor. You should hear
a clicking noise that indicates the
locking mechanism has engaged.
5. After the belt has retracted fully,
pull up on the shoulder portion to
remove any slack.
6. Push and pull on the child seat to
verify that it is held firmly in place.
If not, unlatch the seat belt, allow
it to retract fully, and repeat these
steps.
To unlatch the seat belt, push the
red PRESS button on the buckle.
Guide the belt across to the door
pillar. If the belt doesn't retract
easily, pull it out and check for twists
or kinks.
