With the exception of the driver’s seat, theseat belt in all other seating positions can beconverted from normal Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode to Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode. This means that whenyou pull the seat belt fully out of the retractor,the retractor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function. Always use the ALR child restraint installation functionwhen you install a child restraint system using the seat belt. Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in the rear seat wheneverpossible, although the front passenger seat belt can also be converted to ALR mode.
NOTE
 In order to secure a child restraint system compatible with the LATCH system, use the lower anchor points in the outboard positions of the rear seat. It is not necessary to use the vehicle’s seat belt. The vehicle’s seat belt,however, MUST be used to secure a child restraint system in the center position of the rear seat.WA R N I N G If there is any foreign material in or around the lower anchors, remove it before installing the child restraint sys-tem. Also, make sure the seat belt is away from, not looped through or otherwise interfering with, the child restraint sys-tem. If foreign matter is not removed and/or the seat belt interferes with the child restraint system, the child restraintsystem will not be secured properly, could detach and move forward in the event of sudden braking or an accident, and couldresult in injury to the child or other vehi- cle occupants. When the vehicle is moving, do not adjust the seat where the child restraint system isinstalled.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to withstand loads from cor-rectly fitted child restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, or harnesses, or forattaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crossestheir face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses
their stomach, a commercially available booster seat must be used to raise the child so that the shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains positioned lowacross their hips. The booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and have a label certifying compliance with Federal Motor VehicleSafety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regula- tions.
