Installing Child Restraints In Commercial
Vehicles
This commercial vehicle is not designed for use
as a family vehicle and is not intended for
carrying children in the front passenger seat(s).
Never install rear-facing child restraints in this
vehicle. If you must carry a child in a forward-
facing child restraint, the passenger seat should
be moved to the full rearward position and the
child must be in a proper restraint system based
on its age, size and weight. Follow the instruc-
tions below to secure the child restraint using
the seat belt and tether anchorage.
WARNING!
Rear-facing infant restraints must never
be secured in the passenger seat of a
vehicle with a passenger air bag. In a
collision, a passenger air bag may deploy
causing severe injury or death to infants
riding in rear-facing infant restraints.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Ve-
hicle Seat Belt In Vehicles Without Rear
Seating
Child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the
lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
WARNING!
• Improper installation or failure to prop-
erly secure a child restraint can lead to
failure of the restraint. The child could
be badly injured or killed.
• Follow the child restraint manufactur-
er's directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint.
The seat belts in the passenger seating posi-
tion are equipped with a Switchable Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR). This seat belt
is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat
belt tight around the child restraint so that it
is not necessary to use a locking clip. The
ALR retractor can be "switched" into a
locked mode by pulling all of the webbing out
of the retractor and then letting the webbing
retract back into the retractor. If it is locked,
