FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
THE SEAT BELTS — FRONT
PASSENGER AND JUMP SEATS
(King Cab® models)
WARNING
∙ The three-point seat belt with Auto- matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being prop-
erly secured. The restraint could tip
over or be loose and cause injury to a
child in a sudden stop or collision.
Also, it can change the operation of
the front passenger air bag. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” in this
section.
∙ If a child restraint system is not in- stalled properly, the child could be se-
riously injured or killed in a sudden
stop or collision.
– Do not install a child restraint sys- tem on the passenger’s side jump
seat without unfolding the seat
extender.
– For forward-facing child seats and boosters, DO NOT install if the child
restraint system base extends
past the forward edge of the driv-
er’s side seat cushion.

ings and Cautions in the “Child safety” and
“Child restraints” sections of this manual
before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg) use
the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower an-
chors) to install the child restraint. Be sure
to follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation.Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle seat
belt in the jump seats (King Cab® models)
or in the front passenger seat:
1. If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move
the seat to the rearmost position.

used in the rear-facing direction and
therefore must not be used in the
front seat. 2. To access the jump seat extension
(passenger’s side only)Aon the jump
seat, pull up
Bon the extension to
unfold it to the open position. Then un-
fold the two support legs

an adjustable head restraint/headrest
and it is interfering with the proper
child restraint fit, try another seating
position or a different child restraint.

buckle until you hear and feel the latch
engage. Be sure to follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions for
belt routing.
