5 . Take up the slack in the lap belt .
6 . If using the seatbelt in the ALR mode is recommended by the manufacturer ’ s instructions supplied with the child restraint system , perform the following procedure . ( 1 ) Pull out the seatbelt fully from the retractor to change the retractor over from the Emergency Locking Retractor ( ELR ) to the Automatic Locking Retractor ( ALR ) mode .
( 2 ) Allow the belt to rewind into the retractor . As the belt is rewinding , clicks will be heard which indicate the retractor functions as ALR .

7 . Before having a child sit in the child restraint system , try to move it back and forth and right and left to check if it is firmly secured . Sometimes a child restraint system can be more firmly secured by pushing it down into the seat cushion and then tightening the seatbelt . It should not be possible to move the child restraint system more than 1 in ( 2.5 cm ) in any direction along the seatbelt path .
8 . If the seatbelt has been set to the ALR mode in step 7 , pull at the shoulder portion of the belt to confirm that it cannot be pulled out ( ALR properly functioning ).

9 . To remove the child restraint system , press the release button on the seatbelt buckle and allow the belt to retract completely . The belt will return to the ELR mode .
NOTE
When the child restraint system is no longer in use , remove it and restore the ELR function of the retractor . That function is restored by allowing the seatbelt to retract fully .
