5. Remove as much slack from the
belt as possible by pushing down
on the child restraint system while
feeding the shoulder belt back into
the retractor.
6. Push and pull on the child restraint system to confirm that the seat
belt is holding it firmly in place. If it
is not, release the seat belt and
repeat steps 2 through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in the "Automatic locking" mode by
attempting to pull more of the seat
belt out of the retractor. If you can-
not, the retractor is in the
"Automatic locking" mode. To remove the child restraint, press
the release button on the buckle and
then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of
the restraint and allow the seat belt to
retract fully.
When the seat belt is allowed to
retract to its fully stowed position,
the retractor will automatically
switch from the "Automatic lock-
ing" mode to the emergency lock
mode for normal adult usage.
WARNING - Automatic
locking mode
The lap/shoulder belt automati-
cally returns to the "emergency
lock mode" whenever the belt is
allowed to retract fully.
Therefore, the preceding seven
steps must be followed each
time a child restraint is
installed.
If the retractor is not in the
Automatic Locking mode, the
child restraint can move when
your vehicle turns or stops sud-
denly. A child can be seriously
injured or killed if the child
restraint is not properly
anchored to the car, including
setting the retractor to the
Automatic Locking mode.
