Automatic Locking Retractor
The safety belt for the passenger seat
is equipped with an automatic locking
retractor which must be used if fitting
a child seat using the seat belt in that
position. When activated, this retractor
will only allow the seat belt to further
retract but not extend allowing you to
securely fasten the child seat restraint
to the vehicle seat. Refer also to Child
Restraints on page 34.
Activating the Retractor:
1. Pull the whole available length of
belt out from the reel. At this point,
the locking mechanism is activated.
With the belt now in locking mode,
it may be retracted but it cannot be
extended again until it has been fully
retracted into reel.
2. Place the forward-facing child seat in
position and secure with the seat belt
following the instructions supplied
with the child seat.
3. Insert the latch tongue into the
buckle and ensure it is properly
latched. Push the child seat into the
seat back and allow the seat belt to
retract until the child seat is held
securely in place.
SAFETY
4. Check to make sure the child seat is
secured and that the belt is snug and
will not extend.
Removing the child safety seat:
1. Unbuckle the seat belt.
2. Fully retract the seat belt, passing
it through the child seat mounting
points and remove the child seat.
3. Ensure the seat belt is fully retracted
and that the automatic locking
feature is disengaged.
