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.

NOTE

Follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions carefully.
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 is illuminated.
Refer to Passenger Seat Weight Sensors
on page 2-37.

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.

5. Make sure the passenger air bag

deactivation indicator light illuminates
after installing a child-restraint system
on the passenger seat.
