WARNING!
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages 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 re-
straint
.
• Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly-fitted child restraints
.
Under no circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the ve-
hicle
.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt
Child restraint systems are designed to be secured 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 fail-
ure 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
.
The seat belts in the rear passenger seating positions are 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 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” description in “Switchable Automatic Locking Re-
tractors (ALR)” under “Occupant Restraint Systems” for additional information on ALR
.
