Installing a child restraint sys-
tem using the seat belt (with
emergency/automatic locking
mechanism)
With the exception of the driver, the seat belt
in all other seating positions can be converted
from normal Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) mode, to Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) mode. This means that when you pull
the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the
retractor will switch to its ALR child restraint
installation function. Always use the ALR
child restraint installation function when you
install a child restraint system using the seat
belt.
Children 12 years old and under should
always be restrained in the rear seat, when-
ever possible, although the front passenger
seat belt can also be converted to ALR mode.
WARNING
 When you install a child restraint system
using the seat belt, always make sure the
retractor has been switched to the ALR
child restraint installation function. The
ALR function will keep the child restraint
N00407301494
system tightly secured to the seat.
Failure to convert the retractor to the
ALR function may allow the child
restraint system to move forward during
sudden braking or an accident, resulting
in serious injury or death to the child or
other occupants.
Installation
1. Place the child restraint system on the seat
where you wish to install it.
To help assure proper fitting of the child
restraint system, always remove the head
restraint.
When installing the front-facing child
restraint system on the second row seat,
adjust the angle of the second row seat-
back to the most upright position.
2. Route the seat belt through the child
restraint system according to the instruc-
tions provided by the child restraint sys-
tem's manufacturer. Then insert the seat
belt latch plate into the buckle. Make sure
you hear a "click" when you insert the
latch plate into the buckle.

3. To activate the ALR child restraint instal-
lation function, slowly pull the shoulder
part of the belt all the way out of the
retractor until it stops. Then let the belt
feed back into the retractor.
4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it.
