When the safety belt is allowed to
retract to its fully stowed position, the
retractor will automatically switch
from the “Auto Lock” mode to the
emergency lock mode for normal
adult usage.

Securing a child restraint seat with
“Tether Anchor” system
(if equipped)

Child restraint hook holders are located
on the shelf or floor behind the rear
seats.
1. Open the tether anchor cover on the

shelf or floor behind the rear seats.

2. Route the child restraint seat strap

over the seatback.

For vehicles with adjustable headrest,
route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over
the top of the seatback.

3. Connect the tether strap hook to the

corresponding hook holder and tighten
to secure the seat.

WARNING

- Auto lock

mode

The lap/shoulder belt automatically
returns to the “emergency lock
mode” whenever the belt is allowed
to retract fully. Therefore, the pre-
ceding seven steps must be fol-
lowed each time a child restraint is
installed.
If the safety belt is not placed in the
“Auto lock” mode, severe injury or
death could occur to the child
and/or other occupants in the vehi-
cle in a collision, since the child
restraint will not be effectively held
in place.

WARNING

-

Tether strap

If the tether strap is secured incor-
rectly, the child restraint seat may not
be restrained properly in the event of
a collision. Do not mount more than
one child restraint seat to a tether
anchorage, since the anchorage can
then fail in a collision.
