Automatic locking mode
Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and
only lock under extreme or emergency
conditions (emergency locking mode),
you must manually pull the seat belt all
the way out to shift the retractor to the
Automatic Locking mode to secure a
Child Restraint System.
The Automatic Locking mode will help
prevent the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle from causing the seat
belt to loosen and compromise the Child
Restraint System.
To install a Child Restraint System on the
rear seats:
1. Place the Child Restraint System on a
rear seat and route the lap/shoulder
belt around or through the Child
Restraint System, following the Child
Restraint System manufacturer’s
instructions. Make sure the seat belt
webbing is not twisted.
Information
When using the rear center seat belt,
refer to the "Passenger and Rear Seat
Belts – 3point system with convertible
locking retractor" section in this chapter.

2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into
the buckle. Check a distinct “click”
sound is heard.
Information
Position the release button so it is easy to
access in an emergency.

3. Pull the shoulder portion of the
seat belt all the way out. When the
shoulder portion of the seat belt is
fully extended, it shifts the retractor to
the Automatic Locking (child restraint)
mode.
