Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle
Seat Belt
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 in-
jured or killed.
• Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing an infant or
child restraint.
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions
are equipped wit h a Switchable Automatic Lock-
ing Retractor (ALR) tha t 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” descrip-
tion in “Switchable Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALR)” under “Occupant Restraint Systems” for
additional information on ALR.
Please see the table below and the following
sections for more information.
