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.

7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether

anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See
below for directions to attach a tether anchor.

8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child

seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt):

When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up to
the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower
anchors or the vehicle seat belt.

Tether Strap Installation

1. Rotate or lift the cover to access the anchor directly behind the seat where you are

placing the child restraint.

2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor

and the child seat.

3. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head

restraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and
between the two posts. If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass the tether
strap around the outboard side of the head restraint.
