5. After confirming that the belt is locked,
grab the shoulder part of the belt near
the buckle and pull up to remove any
slack from the lap part of the belt. Re-
member, if the lap part of the belt is not
tight, the child restraint will not be se-
cure. It may help to put weight on the
child restraint or to push on the seat-
back while pulling up on the belt.
6. Before putting the child in the restraint,
push and pull the restraint in all direc-
tions to be sure it is secure. Do this be-
fore each use.
7. To deactivate the ALR mode in order
to remove a child restraint etc., after
removing the child from the restraint,
unlatch the buckle, unroute the seat
belt, let the belt fully retract and rewind
the belt.
NOTE
If the seat belt does not lock, rewind it fully,
then perform step 2 to 7 again.
WARNING
(1) Before putting the child in the re-
straint, be absolutely sure to
make the conversion of the re-
tractor from the ELR mode to the
ALR mode. By doing so, the child
restraint system is always tightly
secured to the seat by the auto-
matic lock. If the conversion to
ALR is not made, the child re-
straint system could move for-
ward in the event of sudden brak-
ing or an accident, seriously in-
juring the child or other occu-
pants.
(2) If a person wearing the seat belt
moves one’s upper body signifi-
cantly such that the belt com-
pletely unwinds, the retractor
may switch to its ALR mode and
lock, thus preventing further
movement. If this happens, the
person should switch the retrac-
tor back to its ELR mode by tak-
ing off the seat belt and fully re-
winding it. The person should
then wear the seat belt again.

Installing a child restraint system
to a 3–point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
EG20E–Aa
For safety, you are advised to install the
child restraint system using a 3–point type
seat belt with emergency/automatic lock-
ing mechanism. If you cannot avoid instal-
ling it using another type of seat belt, follow
the instructions given below.
Installation:
1. Fasten the seat belt to secure the child
restraint system. Make sure you hear
a ”click” when you insert the latch plate
in the buckle.
2. 3–point type seat belts require no
length adjustment. Remove all slack
by using the locking clip.
3. Push and pull the child restraint in all
directions to be sure it is secure.
