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 re-
straint. Failure to use the ALR mode
will result in the child restraint not
being properly 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 op-
eration of the front passenger air
bag. For additional information, see
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P. 1-80).
• If a child restraint system is not in-
stalled properly, the child could be
seriously 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 ex-
tends past the forward edge of
the driver's side seat cushion.
For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-23) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-26) for all
Warnings and Cautions 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.

OBon the extension to unfold it to
the open position. Then unfold the two
support legs

facturer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint/
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint/headrest when the child re-
straint is removed. For additional infor-
mation, see “Head restraints/headrests”
