Can the buckle stalk be

buckle stalk may be twisted

Installing A Child Restraint With A Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR):
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
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.
1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position. For some second row
seats, you may need to recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint to get a
better fit. If the rear seat can be moved forward and rearward in the vehicle, you
may wish to move it to its rear-most position to make room for the child seat. You
may also move the front seat forward to allow more room for the child seat.
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.”
