WARNING!

Improper installation of a child restraint to the

LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of the re-
straint. The child could be badly injured or killed.
Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s directions
exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.

Child restraint anchorages are designed to with-

stand only those loads imposed by correctly-fitted
child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to
be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

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

equipped with either a Switchable 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 retractor can

be “switched” into a locked mode by pulling all of the

webbing out of the retractor and then letting the webbing

retract back into the retractor. If it is locked, the ALR will

make a clicking noise while the webbing is pulled back

into the retractor. For additional information on ALR,

refer to the “Automatic Locking Mode” description un-

der “Occupant Restraints.” The cinching latch plate is

designed to hold the lap portion of the seat belt tight

when webbing is pulled tight and straight through a

child restraint’s belt path.
Please see the table below and the following sections for

more information.
