7 . Take up the slack in the lap belt .
8 . 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 ) function . Then , allow the belt to rewind into the retractor . As the belt is rewinding , clicks will be heard which indicate the retractor functions as ALR .
9 . 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 .
10 . Pull at the shoulder portion of the belt to confirm that it cannot be pulled out ( ALR properly functioning ).
11 . Latch the tether hook onto the tether anchorage that is located behind the second-row and third-row seat and tighten the tether firmly . For additional instructions , refer to “ Tether anchorages ” FP85 . – If the child restraint system is installed with the head restraint left in place , pass the tether hook between the head restraint stays .
