Installing Child Restraints In Commercial Vehicles
This commercial vehicle is not designed for use as a family vehicle and is not intended
for carrying children in the front passenger seat(s). If you must carry a child in a
forward-facing child restraint, the passenger seat should be moved to the full rearward
position and the child must be in a proper restraint system based on its age, size and
weight. Follow the instructions below to secure the child restraint using the seat belt.
WARNING!
Rearward-facing infant restraints must never be secured in the passenger seat of
a vehicle with a passenger Air Bag. In a collision, a passenger Air Bag may deploy
causing severe injury or death to infants riding in rearward-facing infant restraints.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
(Commercial Vehicle)
• The front passenger seating position is equipped with a Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt
tight around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• There is a tether strap anchor located behind the front passenger seat, either on
the seatback near the floor or on the floor behind the seat.
Tether Weight Limit
The Tether Anchor can be used with the seat belt until the combined weight of the
child and the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt without the Tether
Anchor once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:
1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt
path of the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have
pulled all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to
retract back into the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This means the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.
5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able
to pull out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.
6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the
vehicle seat.
