Sometimes a child restraint system can be more firmly secured by pushing it down into the seat cushion and then tightening the seatbelt.

If you have installed a child restraint system for the rear center seating position, when you remove the child restraint system, the seatbelt may not be restored to the ELR mode even if the seatbelt is retracted. In this case, lower the head restraint to the retracted position to allow the seatbelt to retract moreover. The seatbelt will return to the ELR mode.
Remember that the head restraint is not intended to be used at the lowest position( retracted position). Therefore, when the rear center seat is occupied( including when a child restraint system is installed) next time, be sure to raise the head restraint to the extended position.
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.
