Child Restraint Systems 65
refer to “Head Restraint Adjustment”
☞P44.
CAUTION
Store the head restraint that has
been removed in the trunk (Legacy)
or cargo area (Outback). Do not
place the head restraint in the passenger
compartment to prevent it
from being thrown around in the
passenger compartment in a sudden
stop or a sharp turn.
3. For Outback models, adjust the seat
back to the upright position.
4. Place the child restraint system in the
rear seating position.
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” ☞P60.
5. 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 in the rear center seating
position of an Outback, pass the rear
center seatbelt through the belt guide
properly. For details, refer to “Rear
center seatbelt on Outback” ☞P51.
6. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle
until you hear a click.
7. Take up the slack in the lap belt.
8. 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.
