Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

Form No. 8S06-EA-03H

1. If the seat in which you install a child-

restraint system has a seat slide 
function, slide the seat as far back as 
possible.

2. Secure the child-restraint system with 

the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. 
See the instructions on the child-
restraint system for belt routing 
instructions.

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.

4. Push the child-restraint system firmly 

into the vehicle seat. Be sure the belt 
retracts as snugly as possible. Adjust 
the angle of the seat belt buckle so that 
the belt is not loose. 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.

NOTE

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.
