Installing Child Restraints In Commercial Vehicles
This commercial vehicle is not designed for use as a

family vehicle and is not intended for carrying children

in the front passenger seat(s). Never install rearward-

facing child restraints in this vehicle. If you must carry a

child in a forward-facing child restraint, the passenger

seat should be moved to the full rearward position and

the child must be in a proper restraint system based on its

age, size and weight. Follow the instructions below to

secure the child restraint using the seat belt and tether

anchorage.

WARNING!

Rearward-facing infant restraints must never be se-
cured in the passenger seat of a vehicle with a
passenger Air Bag. In a collision, a passenger Air Bag
may deploy causing severe injury or death to infants
riding in rearward-facing infant restraints.

Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat
Belt
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are

equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor

(ALR). This seat belt is designed to keep the lap portion

of the seat belt tight around the child restraint so that it is

not necessary to use a locking clip. The ALR retractor can

be “switched” into a locked mode by pulling all of the

webbing out of the retractor and then letting the webbing

retract back into the retractor. If it is locked, the ALR will

make a clicking noise while the webbing is pulled back

into the retractor. For additional information on ALR,

refer to the “Automatic Locking Mode” description un-

der “Occupant Restraints.”
