Child Seat Installation - Aston Martin DBX Owner's Handbook Manual

Child Seat Installation

Front Child Seat Installation
Warning: Even with the advanced restraints system,
children aged 12 and under should be correctly restrained in
the rear seats.
Warning: Always follow the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for correct installation. Not following the child
seat manufacturer's instructions when installing the child
seat is dangerous.
Warning: All child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by the lap and shoulder belt portion
of a safety belt. Children could be endangered in a crash if
their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) system is designed to
securely hold child seats. The ALR system temporarily locks a seat
belt that is securing a child seat.

Before Driving
ALR Operation
Gently pull out the seat belt until fully extended. The ALR system
will only engage at the maximum extension point of the seat belt.
Thread the belt tongue through the child seat as per the child seat
manufacturer instructions. Engage the tongue into the belt
buckle.
Adjust the tongue position on the belt to make sure that the lower
belt run is tight and then allow the upper run of the seat belt to
fully retract until the child seat is securely held. The ALR system
will be heard 'clicking' as the seat belt retracts.
When fully retracted, pull down on the upper run of the belt to
check that the ALR lock has engaged.
When parked on an incline, the seat belt may lock as it is
withdrawn. This is not a fault. If the mechanism locks, release the
seat belt tension and then pull the seat belt very gently to avoid
operation of the inertia lock.
The ALR system will disengage when the seat belt is fully
retracted. The seat belt may then be worn when required as a
normal seat belt. Once the ALR is disengaged, the seat belt must
be fully extended to re-engage the system on the next occasion
that a child seat is installed.
