3. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle.
4. Pull out the seatbelt fully from the retractor to change the retractor
over from the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) to the Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) function. Then allow the belt to rewind into
the retractor. As the belt is rewinding, clicks will be heard which indi-
cate the retractor function as ALR.
5. While pushing the child restraint into the seat cushion and moving
it back and forth, tighten the seatbelt securely by taking up the slack
in the belt.
6. Before having a child sit in the child restraint system, move it back
and forth to check if it is firmly secured.
7. To remove the child restraint system, press the release button on
the seatbelt buckle and allow the belt to retract completely. The belt
will return to ELR mode.

If you have any question concerning proper child restraint system
installation, ask your SUBARU dealer.

B Installation of child restraint systems by use of lower and teth-

er anchorages

Some types of child restraint systems can be installed on the rear
seat of your vehicle without use of the seatbelts. Such child restraint
systems are secured to the dedicated anchorages provided on the
vehicle body. The lower and tether anchorages are sometimes re-
ferred to as the LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHil-
dren).
