. When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufac-
turer's instructions supplied with
it. After installing the child re-
straint system, check to ensure
that it is held securely in posi-
tion. If it is not held tight and
secure, the danger of your child
or other passengers suffering
personal injury in the event of
an accident may be increased.
! Preparation for installing child re-
straint system
First check if the Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) is equipped for the
seatbelts of the vehicle according to the
following procedure.
1. Draw out the seatbelt completely.
2. Retract the seatbelt even slightly and
try to draw out the seatbelt again.
3. If the seatbelt is locked in that position
and cannot be extended, it indicates that
an ALR is equipped for the seatbelt.
When the seatbelt is retracted fully, the
ALR mode is canceled and the Emer-
gency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode is
restored.
If the ALR is not equipped for the seatbelt,
refer to Models without ALR F1-30.
