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.
