CHILD SEATS
Fitting the child seat
Front and rear passenger seat belts have
an automatic locking device for use with
child seats.
When engaged, this device allows the belt
to be retracted (tightened) but not pulled
out. When used to secure a child seat,
therefore, the belt will automatically lock
at any point to which it has retracted.
1. Pull the seat belt all the way out to
engage the locking device.
2. Insert the metal tongue plate into the
buckle. A positive click indicates that
it is safely locked.
3. To fix the seat firmly, retract the belt
back to the reel, a ratchet operation
may be felt as the belt retracts.
Continue to feed the belt back onto
the reel until it fits snugly around the
child seat.
