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
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.
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with either a
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) or a cinching latch plate or both. Both
types of seat belts are 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. The cinching latch plate is designed to hold the lap portion of
the seat belt tight when webbing is pulled tight and straight through a child
restraint’s belt path.
Please see the table below and the following sections for more information.
