166 SAFETY

Installing Child Restraints Using The

Vehicle Seat Belt In Vehicles Without Rear

Seating

Child restraint systems are designed to be secured

in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion

of a lap/shoulder belt.

The seat belt in the passenger seating position is

equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking

Retractor (ALR). This seat belt 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 Ú page 143.

Installing A Child Restraint With A

Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor

(ALR) — Vehicles Not Equipped With Rear

Seating:

Child restraint systems are designed to be secured

in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion

of a lap/shoulder belt.

1. Place the child seat in the center of the

seating position.

2. 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.

3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you

hear a “click.”

4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion

tight against the child seat.

5. 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.

WARNING!

 Improper installation or failure to properly

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.
