Child restraint systems
WARNING
When you intend to install a child restraint system on the rear center seating position , if the child restraint system does not fit snugly against the contours of the rear center seat cushion , install the child restraint system on the window-side seating position to be safe . For details , refer to “ Where to place a child restraint system ” FP63 .
4 . Run the lap and shoulder belt through or around the child restraint system following the instructions provided by its manufacturer . – When a child restraint system is installed on the rear center seating
position , pass the rear center seatbelt through the belt guide properly . For details , refer to “ Rear center seatbelt ” FP53 .
5 . Insert the tongue plate into the buckle until you hear a click .
6 . Take up the slack in the lap belt .
7 . 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 .
8 . 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 .
9 . Pull at the shoulder portion of the belt to confirm that it cannot be pulled out ( ALR properly functioning ).
