Frequently Asked Questions
Can the buckle stalk be twisted to tighten
the seat belt against the belt path of the
child restraint?
No Do not twist the buckle stalk in a seating
position with an ALR retractor.
NOTE: If the folding, non-adjustable head restraint in-
terferes with the installation of the child restraint, the
head restraint may be folded and the child seat installed
in front of it.
WARNING!
Always make sure the head restraint is in its upright
position when the seat is to be used by an occupant
who is not in a child restraint. Sitting in a seat with
the head restraint in its lowered position could result
in serious injury or death in a collision.
Installing A Child Restraint With A Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating
position. For some second row seats, you may need to
recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint 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.
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.
