Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts (Commercial Vehicle)
The front passenger seating position is equipped with a Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight
around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
There is a tether strap anchor located behind the front passenger seat, on the
seatback near the floor.
Tether Weight Limit
The Tether Anchor can be used with the seat belt until the combined weight of the
child and the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt without the Tether
Anchor once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR — In Commercial Vehicles:
1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt
path of the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have
pulled all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to
retract back into the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This means the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.
5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able
to pull out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.
6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the
vehicle seat.
7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether
anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap.
See below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
8. 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.
Installing the Top Tether Strap with the Vehicle Seat Belt:
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap,
up to the tether anchor weight limit, when the child restraint is installed with the
vehicle seat belt.
