or around the child restraint system
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer.
3. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle
until you hear a click.

retractor to change the retractor over from
the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

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.

system forward and from side to side to
check if it is firmly secured. Sometimes a
child restraint can be more firmly secure d
by pushing it down into the seat cushion
and then tightening the seatbelt.
