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 prop-

erly 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 posi-
tions are equipped with a Switchable Auto-
matic 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
Locking Retractors (ALR)" under "Occupant
Restraint Systems" for additional informa-
tion on ALR.
Please see the table below and the following
sections for more information.
