Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat
Belt
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are

equipped with either an Automatic Locking Retractor

(ALR) or a cinching latch plate or both. Both types of seat

belts are designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt

tight around the child restraint so that it is not necessary

to use a locking clip. The ALR will make a ratcheting

noise if you extract the entire belt from the retractor and

then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. For

additional information on ALR, refer to “Automatic

Locking Mode”.

To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat

belt webbing from the retractor to route it through the

belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate

into the buckle. Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out

of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the

retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten

the lap portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt

system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasion-

ally, and pull it tight if necessary.
