Securing child-restraint system

All of the rear belt retractors and the
front passenger's safety belt can be
locked for mounting and securing child-
restraint systems.

A label with the appropriate instructions
for this is located in the immediate
vicinity of the buckle latch of each
safety belt.

To lock the safety belt

Extract the entire length of the belt from
the inertia reel mechanism. Allow the
reel to retract the belt somewhat and
engage the buckle, then tighten the belt
against the child-restraint system. The
retraction mechanism is now locked.

The belt cannot be extracted further.
Always observe the installation instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer of
the child-restraint system.

To unlock the safety belt

Release the safety belt, remove the
child seat and retract the safety belt to
its end position on the belt retractor.
