Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Child Restraints With Seat Belts
What is the weight limit (child’s weight of the child restraint)
for using the Tether Anchor with the seat belt to attach a forward-
facing child restraint?
Weight limit of the Child Restraint
Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a
forward-facing child restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of
the child restraint.
Can the rear-facing child restraint touch the back of the front pas-
senger seat?
Yes
Contact between the front passenger seat and the child restraint is
allowed, if the child restraint manufacturer also allows contact.
Can the rear head restraints be removed? Yes
The head restraints can be removed in every rear seating position if
they interfere with the installation of the child restraint
page 31.
Can the buckle stalk be twisted to tighten the seat belt against the
belt path of the child restraint? Yes – Cinching Latch Plate
No – ALR
In positions with cinching latch plates (CINCH), the buckle stalk may be
twisted up to 3 full turns. Do not twist the buckle stalk in a seating posi-
tion with an ALR retractor.
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.
For Crew Cab Models
Place the child seat in the center of the seating posi-
tion. If the second row seat can be reclined, you may
recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint (if
adjustable) 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.
For Regular Cab Models
Place the child seat in the center of the seating posi-
tion. Move the vehicle seat as far rearward as pos-
sible to keep the child as far from the passenger air
bag as possible.
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.”
4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight
against the child seat.
5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part
of the belt until you have pulled all the seat belt
webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the web-
bing to retract back into the retractor. As the web-
bing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This
means the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking
mode.
6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is
locked, you should not be able to pull out any web-
bing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat step 5.
7. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the
lap portion around the child restraint while you push
the child restraint rearward and downward into the
vehicle seat.
