Seating and Safety Restraints
5. To put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, do the following:
• Standard safety belt: grasp the
shoulder portion of the belt and
pull downward until all of the belt
is pulled out.
• Inflatable safety belt: grasp the
lap portion of the inflatable safety
belt and pull upward until all of
the belt is pulled out.
6. Allow the belt to retract to remove slack. The belt will click as it
retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.
7. Try to pull the belt out of the retractor to make sure the retractor is
in the automatic locking mode (you should not be able to pull more belt
out). If the retractor is not locked, repeat Steps 5 and 6.
8. Remove remaining slack from the belt. Force the seat down with extra
weight, e.g., by pressing down or kneeling on the child restraint while
pulling up on the shoulder belt (pull down on the lap belt for inflatable
safety belts) in order to force slack from the belt. This is necessary to
remove the remaining slack that will exist once the additional weight of
the child is added to the child restraint. It also helps to achieve the
proper snugness of the child seat to the vehicle. Sometimes, a slight lean
towards the buckle will additionally help to remove remaining slack from
the belt.
