Installing a Child-
Restraint System

The passenger lap/shoulder belt can easily
be converted into the automatic locking
mode, which must be done to hold the
child-restraint system.
Some child-restraint systems also employ
specially designed LATCH attachments;
refer to

LATCH Child-Restraint

Systems

(page 2-18).

Follow these manufacturer's instructions
when installing a child-restraint system on
the passenger's seat, unless you are
attaching a LATCH-equipped child-
restraint system to the LATCH lower
anchors. Refer to

LATCH Child-

Restraint Systems

(page 2-18).

NOTE

Follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions carefully. If
you are not sure whether you have a
LATCH system, check in the child-
restraint system manufacturer's
instructions and follow them
accordingly. Depending on the type of
child-restraint system, it may not
employ seat belts which are in
automatic locking mode, however if it
uses an upper tether, it cannot be
mounted properly in this vehicle as
there is no safe way to anchor the tether.

Before installing a rear-facing child-
restraint system, the passenger air bag
must be deactivated (page 2-23).

NOTE

Before installing a child-restraint
system, refer to

Passenger Air Bag

Deactivation Switch

(page 2-23).

1. Make sure to remove articles from

behind the passenger seat that would
prevent the seat from sliding back fully,
and then 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. Clicking
from the retractor will be heard during
retraction if the system is in automatic
locking mode. If the belt does not lock
the seat down tight, repeat this step.
