Seat belt locking mechanism
The seat belts fitted to the front passenger
seat and two outer rear seats, have a special
locking mechanism, which aids the securing
of child restraint systems. The mechanism is
used to secure a child restraint as follows:
1. Attach the seat belt to the child restraint in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Insert the metal tongue of the seat belt
into the lock ensuring that it engages with
a ’click’.
3. Pull on the shoulder section of the belt
until it is fully extended.
4. Allow the belt to retract. A ’clicking’ sound
will confirm that the mechanism has
engaged.
5. Remove all slack from the mechanism, by
pulling upwards on the shoulder belt,
immediately above the child restraint.
6. Ensure that the child restraint is held
securely in place; if not, unlatch the belt
and repeat steps 1 to 6.
The centre rear seating position is fitted with a
lap belt which can be manually tightened to
secure the infant or child restraint system.
Older children should use the lap/shoulder
belt fitted to the outer seating positions.
