Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with a Switchable Auto-
matic 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
.
Tether Weight Limit
Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child
restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint
.
To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:
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 re-
straint 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
.
