Installing A Child Restraint With A
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR):
Child restraint systems are designed to be se-
cured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt
portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
WARNING!
• 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.
1. Place the child seat in the center of the
seating position. For some second row
seats, you may need to recline the seat
and/or raise the head restraint (if adjustable)
to get a better fit. If the rear seat can be
moved forward and rearward in the vehicle,
you may wish to move it to its rear-most
position to make room for the child seat. You
may also move the front seat forward to allow
more room for the child seat.
2. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the
retractor to pass it through the belt path of
the child restraint. Do not twist the belt web-
bing in the belt path.
3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you
hear a "click."
4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion
tight against the child seat.
5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the
shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled
all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor.
Then, allow the webbing to retract back into
the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you
will hear a clicking sound. This means the
seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking
mode.
6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If
it is locked, you should not be able to pull out
any webbing. If the retractor is not locked,
repeat step 5.
7. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to
tighten the lap portion around the child re-
straint while you push the child restraint
rearward and downward into the vehicle
seat.
8. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and
the seating position has a top tether anchor-
age, connect the tether strap to the anchor-
age and tighten the tether strap. See the
section "Installing Child Restraints Using the
Top Tether Anchorage" for directions to at-
tach a tether anchor.
9. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly
by pulling back and forth on the child seat at
the belt path. It should not move more than
1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top
Tether Anchorage:
WARNING!
Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing
car seat to any location in front of the car
seat, including the seat frame or a tether
anchorage. Only attach the tether strap of a
rear-facing car seat to the tether anchorage
that is approved for that seating position,
located behind the top of the vehicle seat.
