Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in “Child
safety” and “Child restraints” earlier in this sec-
tion before installing a child restraint.

Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
seat:

1. Child restraints for infants must be used

in the rear-facing direction and there-
fore must not be used in the front seat.

Position the child restraint on the seat. Always
follow the restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.

2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child

restraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions for belt routing.

3. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully

extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor
is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode (child restraint mode). It reverts to the
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode
when the seat belt is fully retracted.

4. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the

shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt.

5. Remove any additional slack from the child

restraint. Press downward and rearward firmly
in the center of the child restraint with your
hand to compress the vehicle seat cushion
and seatback while pulling up on the seat belt.
