NOTE
When the child restraint system is no longer in use, remove it and
restore the ELR function of the retractor. That function is restored
by allowing the seat belt to retract fully.
HGS021BA
1. Set the child restraint system in the seating position.
2. Run the lap and shoulder belts through or around the child re-
straint system following the instructions provided by its manufacturer.
If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child's face or neck, put it be-
hind the child restraint system.
3. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle.
4. Take up the slack in the lap belt.
5. Pull out the seat belt fully from the retractor to change the retractor
over from the Emergency Locking Retractor(ELR) to the Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) function. Then, allow the belt to rewind into
the retractor. As the belt is rewinding, clicks will be heard which indi-
cate the retractor functions as ALR.
6. Before having a child sit in the child restraint system, move it back
and forth to check if it is firmly secured. Sometimes a child restraint
can be more firmly secured by pushing it down into the seat cushion
and then tightening the seat belt.
7. Pull at the shoulder portion of the belt to confirm that it cannot be
pulled out (ALR properly functioning).
If the child restraint system requires a top tether, latch the hook onto the
top tether anchor and tighten the top tether. See "Top tether anchorages"
