11. If the child sleeps or tries to get out of the
child seat, pull shoulder out fully to put the
retractor into automatic lock mode. Allow
belts to tighten snugly against the child's
shoulders. See Figure 10.
Automatic lock mode keeps a sleeping child in
position and prevents the child from getting out
of the seat while the vehicle is in motion. Older
children who do not fall asleep in the child seat
may be secured with the retractor in the
emergency locking mode. The belts will lock
automatically during a collison or hard braking.
