Child Restraint Systems
7. Push and pull the child restraint system
forward and side to side to check that it is
firmly secured in the center of the seat.
Sometimes a child restraint system can be
more firmly secured by pushing it down
into the seat cushion and then tightening
the seatbelt.
8. If the seatbelt has been set to the ALR
mode in step 5, pull at the shoulder portion
of the belt to confirm that it cannot be
pulled out (ALR properly functioning).
9. 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.
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.

WARNING
. NEVER INSTALL A CHILD RE-

PASSENGER’S SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLA-

. Before installing a child restraint
system, be sure to confirm that
the seatback is securely locked

serious injury or death
could result.

seating position where the child restraint
system is to be installed, raise the head
restraint to the extended position. If the
child restraint system still makes contact,
remove the head restraint. For details,
