Automatic Locking Retractor

The safety belts for the front passenger seat and for both rear
seats (if fitted), are equipped with an automatic locking retrac-
tor which must be used if fitting a forward-facing child restraint
system in that position. When activated, this retractor allows
you securely to fasten the child restraint system.
Activating the Automatic Retractor:
1. Pull the whole available length of belt out from the reel. At
this point, the locking mechanism is activated.
2. Place the forward-facing child seat in position and secure
with the seat belt following the instructions supplied with the
child seat.
3. Insert the latch tongue into the buckle and ensure it is prop-
erly latched.
4. Allow the safety belt to retract until it is tight on the child
seat. You may further tighten the belt by pulling on it to allow
more of it to retract, but no more length may be pulled from
the reel.
Check to make sure the child seat is secured, and that the
belt is snug and will not extend.
