INSTALLATION ON FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT
(3-point type with retractor)
WARNING
● The 3-point belt in your vehicle is
equipped with a locking mode re-
tractor which must be used when
installing a child restraint.
● Failure to use the retractor’s locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the
child in a sudden stop or collision.
If you choose to install a child restraint,
follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front
passenger seat. It can be placed in a
forward facing or rear facing direction,
depending on the size of the child. Al-
ways follow the restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert the belt tongue
into the buckle until you hear and feel the
latch engage. Be sure to follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions for
belt routing.
3. Pull upward on the lap belt until all of the
belt is fully extended and a click is heard.
At this time, the lap belt retractor is in the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode). It reverts back to emergency
locking mode when the belt is fully re-
tracted.
4. Allow the belt to retract. A clicking sound
is heard as the belt retracts. This indi-
cates that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode. Pull up on the belt to
remove any slack in the belt.
