GETTING STARTED
Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt
Child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or
the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
• Improper installation or failure to properly secure a child restraint can lead to
failure of the restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed.
• Follow the child restraint manufacturer's directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint.
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with a Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) that 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, the ALR will make a clicking noise while the webbing is pulled back into the
retractor. Refer to the "Automatic Locking Mode" description in "Switchable Auto-
matic Locking Retractors (ALR)" under "Occupant Restraint Systems" for additional
information on ALR.
Please see the table below and the following sections for more information.
