with the child restraint installation, instead of buckling it behind the child restraint, route
the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then buckle it
.
Do not lock the
seat belt
.
Remind all children in the vehicle that the seat belts are not toys and that they
should not play with them
.
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
.

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 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 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 Retractors
(ALR)” under “Occupant Restraint Systems” for additional information on ALR
.
