How To Stow An Unused Switchable-Alr (Alr) Seat Belt; Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt - Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2019 User Manual

1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
straps and on the tether strap of the child
seat so that you can more easily attach
the hooks or connectors to the vehicle
anchorages.
2. Place the child seat between the
lower anchorages for that 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.
3. Attach the lower hooks or connectors
of the child restraint to the lower
anchorages in the selected seating
position.
4. If the child restraint has a tether
strap, connect it to the top tether
anchorage. See the section "Installing
Child Restraints Using the Top Tether
Anchorage" for directions to attach a
tether anchor.
5. Tighten all of the straps as you push
the child restraint rearward and
downward into the seat. Remove slack in
the straps according to the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions.

6. 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.
How To Stow An Unused Switchable-
ALR (ALR) Seat Belt:
When using the LATCH attaching system
to install a child restraint, stow all ALR
seat belts that are not being used by
other occupants or being used to secure
child restraints. An unused belt could
injure a child if they play with it and
accidentally lock the seat belt retractor.
Before installing a child restraint using
the LATCH system, buckle the seat belt
behind the child restraint and out of the
child's reach. If the buckled seat belt
interferes with the child restraint
installation, instead of buckling it behind
the child restraint, route the seat belt
through the child restraint belt path and
then buckle it. Do not lock the seat belt.
Remind all children in the vehicle that the
seat belts are not toys and that they
should not play with them.
Warning!
Improper installation of a child restraint
to the LATCH anchorages 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.
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly-fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle.
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.
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.
