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. Although the seat

belt can be locked to secure a child restraint, there are no

tether anchorages to complete the proper installation of a

forward-facing child restraint. 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.

WARNING!

Rearward-facing infant restraints must never be
secured 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) that 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.”
