Installing Child Restraint
Systems using the Vehicle Seat
Belt equipped with ALR All the passenger seat belts are
equipped with an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) to secure child
protection through a Child Restraint
System (CRS). These types of seat belts
are designed to keep the lap portion
of the seat belt tight around the child
restraint seat avoiding to use a locking
clip.
The ALR will make a ratcheting noise
if the entire belt is pulled out of the
retractor in order to enable the belt to
retract subsequently. For additional
information on ALR, see “Using Seat
Belt in Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) Mode” in “Occupants Restraint
Systems” in this section.
To install a Child Restraint System with
ALR, pull enough of the belt out of
the retractor leading it through the
belt path of the protection device.
Slide the latch into the buckle until it
clicks, then remove the entire safety
belt from the retractor in order to
rewound. While rewinding a click will
indicate the safety belt is now in
Automatic Locking mode.
Exert then a traction on the exceeded
lap section of the belt in order to tighten it around the child restraint
seat. All seat belts will loosen over
time, it is therefore necessary to check
them periodically and set them
properly.
Lower Anchors and Tether for
Children (LATCH) Your vehicle's rear outboard seats are
all equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH.
The LATCH system allows the child
restraint systems to be fixed without
using the vehicle's seat belts, instead
fixing the child restraint system to the
vehicle structure, using lower
anchorages shown in picture.
LATCH-Compatible child restraint
systems are now available. You should
never install LATCH child seats so that
two seats share a common lower
anchorage. If your child restraints are not
LATCH-Compatible, install the
restraints using the vehicle's seat belts.
NOTE:
• You can install a standard and a
LATCH system child seat at the same
time (one in each outer rear seat).
• No more than two standard child
seats or two LATCH system type child
seats can be installed on the rear
seats.
• Only standard type child seats can be
mounted on the front passenger
seat.
Installing a LATCH- Compatible Child
Restraint System

and seat cushion surfaces.
Follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions provided
