Infants or small children
Use a child restraint system that is suit-
able for your vehicle. See information on
“Child restraint systems” section in this
chapter.
T
Children
If a child is too big for a child restraint sys-
tem, the child should sit in the rear seat
and be restrained using the seatbelts. Ac-
cording to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front seating
positions. Never allow a child to stand up
or kneel on the seat.
If the shoulder portion of the belt crosses
the face or neck, move the child closer to
the belt buckle to help provide a good
shoulder belt fit. Care must be taken to se-
curely place the lap belt as low as possible
on the hips and not on the child’s waist. If
the shoulder portion of the belt cannot be
properly positioned, a child restraint sys-
tem should be used. Never place the
shoulder belt under the child’s arm or be-
hind the child’s back.
T
Expectant mothers
Expectant mothers also need to use the
seatbelts. They should consult their doctor
for specific recommendations. The lap
belt should be worn securely and as low
as possible over the hips, not over the
waist.

Emergency Locking Retrac-
tor (ELR)
The driver’s seatbelt and front passen-
ger’s seatbelt have an Emergency Lock-
ing Retractor (ELR).
The emergency locking retractor allows
normal body movement but the retractor
locks automatically during a sudden stop,
impact or if you pull the belt very quickly
out of the retractor.
„
Automatic/Emergency Lock-
ing Retractor (A/ELR)
Each rear passenger’s seatbelt has an
Automatic/Emergency Locking Retractor
(A/ELR). The Automatic/Emergency
Locking Retractor normally functions as
an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR).
The A/ELR has an additional locking
mode “Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode” intended to secure a child restraint
system. When the seatbelt is once drawn
out completely and is then retracted even
slightly, the retractor locks the seatbelt in
that position and the seatbelt cannot be
extended. As the belt is rewinding, clicks
will be heard which indicate the retractor
functions as an ALR. When the seatbelt is
retracted fully, the ALR mode is cancelled.
When securing a child restraint system on
the rear seats by the use of the seatbelt,
the seatbelt must be changed over to the
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode.
When the child restraint system is re-
moved, make sure that the seatbelt re-
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating posi-
tions than in the front seating po-
sitions. For instructions and pre-
cautions concerning the child re-
straint system, see the “Child re-
straint systems” section in this
chapter.
