5. Before placing the child in the child
restraint, forcibly try to push the seat
from side to side and forward to make
sure that the seat is securely held in
place.
6. Double check that the retractor is in
the automatic locking mode by trying

you can, repeat step 4.
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 safety belt to
retract fully.

NOTICE
When the safety belt is allowed to
retract to its fully stowed position,
the retractor will automatically
switch from the “Auto Lock”
mode to the emergency lock mode
for normal adult usage.
WARNING - Auto Lock
Mode
The lap/shoulder belt
automatically 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 safety belt is not placed in
the “auto lock” mode, severe
injury or death could occur to
the child and/or other
occupants in the vehicle in a
collision, since the child
restraint will not be effectively
held in place.
