3. To get the retractor into the automatic 

locking mode, pull the shoulder belt 
portion of the seat belt until the entire 
length of the belt is out of the retractor.

into the vehicle seat. Be sure the belt 
retracts as snugly as possible. Clicking 
from the retractor will be heard during 
retraction if the system is in the 
automatic locking mode. If the belt 
does not lock the seat down tight, 
repeat this step.

the use of a tether strap, hook and 
tighten the tether strap by following the 
manufacturer

Inspect this function before each use of 
the child-restraint system. You should 
not be able to pull the shoulder belt out 
of the retractor while the system is in 
the automatic locking mode. When 
you remove the child-restraint system, 
be sure the belt fully retracts to return 
the system to emergency locking mode 
before occupants use the seat belts.
