CAUTION
When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufacturer's
instructions supplied with it. After
installing the child restraint system,
check to ensure that it is held
securely in position. If it is not held
tight and secure, the danger of your
child suffering personal injury in the
event of an accident may be in-
creased.
First check if the Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) is equipped for the
seatbelts of the vehicle according to the
following procedure.
1. Draw out the seatbelt completely.
2. Retract the seatbelt even slightly and
try to draw out the seatbelt again.
3. If the seatbelt is locked in that position
and cannot be extended, it indicates that
an ALR is equipped for the seatbelt.
When the seatbelt is retracted fully, the
ALR mode is canceled and the Emer-
gency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode is
restored.
NOTE
. For details about the ELR, refer to
"Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)"
