Placing a passenger safety
belt into the auto lock mode

The use of the auto lock mode will
ensure that the normal movement of
the child in the vehicle does not
cause the safety belt to be pulled out
and loosen the firmness of its hold
on the child restraint system. To
secure a child restraint system, use
the following procedure.

Installing a child restraint system by
lap/shoulder belt

To install a child restraint system on
the outboard or center rear seats, do
the following:
1. Place the child restraint system in

the seat and route the lap/shoul-
der belt around or through the
restraint, following the restraint
manufacturer’s instructions. Be
sure the safety belt webbing is not
twisted.

WARNING

• Do not install any child

restraint system in the front
passenger seat. Should an
accident occur and cause the
passenger airbag to deploy, it
could severely injure or kill an
infant or child seated in an
infant or child seat. Therefore,
only use a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat of your
vehicle.

• If the child restraint seat is not

anchored properly, the risk of
a child being seriously injured
or killed in a collision greatly
increases.
