Child Restraint Systems
11. Attach the tether strap onto the tether anchorage and tighten the tether strap firmly. For additional instructions, refer to“ Tether Anchorages” FP73.
12. 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.
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.
