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 2-27).

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 2-27).

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 may not be
mounted properly in this vehicle as there is no
safe way to anchor the tether. Confirm whether
the child-restraint system can be used with seat
belts by reading the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions.

Before installing a child-restraint system,
make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminated by

off.

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
