How to Use Built-In Child Safety Seat
[SR15105( X)08/94]
Read the following procedures and all of the labels on the
Built-In Child Seat before using the seat. Refer to Figures 1
through 14.
[SR15110( X)06/95]
RWARNING
Never use the Built-In Child Seat as a booster cushion
with the adult lap belt. The five-point belt harness of the
Built-In Seat provides much more secure restraint than a
lap belt. Children who are the proper size to use the
Built-In Child Seat should use the five-point belts.
Children who sit in the right rear seat but are too large
to use the Built-In Child Seat should use the lap/shoulder
belt, but should sit on the seat cushion rather than on the
built-in seat.

Fasten both halves of the chest clip below the child's
shoulders and adjust the clip (up or down) to comfortably
hold the shoulder belts in place on the child's chest. The
indicator on the chest clip will show green when the clip is
latched. (The purpose of this clip is to position the shoulder
belts correctly on the child's shoulders.) The clip can be
easily pulled apart and is designed to pull apart during a
collision. The clip will help keep the shoulder belts on the
shoulders of a sleeping or squirming child. Refer to Figures
10 and 11.

Built-In Child Seat Belt Retractors
[SR15247( X)10/94]
The belts on the Built-In Child Seat are equipped with a dual
locking mode retractor. The child seat belts can be used with
the retractor in either the emergency locking mode or the
automatic mode. In the emergency locking mode, the retractor
allows freedom of movement, locking only on hard braking,
hard cornering, or collisions. In the automatic locking mode, the
retractor will remain locked and does not allow the child
freedom of movement.
*
[SR15248( X)06/95]
The retractor will switch from the emergency locking mode to
the automatic locking mode when the shoulder belts are pulled
all the way out. The retractor will switch back to emergency

50locking mode when the belts are unbuckled and the shoulder
belts retract completely.
*
[SR15249( X)04/95]
The automatic locking mode must be used to hold small
children in position, particularly sleeping children and those
who may try to squirm out of the belts. The emergency locking
mode is also used while buckling the belts.
[SR15250( X)10/94]
Frequently check the child seat's lap and shoulder harness belts
for correct placement and tightness. Use the child seat only if
the harness belts will stay snug when belts are placed into the
lock mode with a child in the seat. If not, take the child seat to
the dealer for repair.
