WARNING! Both rear seat backrests must be up when the auxiliary seat is \
being
used.
Do not use a booster cushion or child seat in conjunction with the auxil\
iary seat.


Spool-out

To make child seat installation easier, each seat buckle (except for th\
e driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help
keep the lap section of the seat belt taut.

When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
l Make sure the red lock button is moved to the right (see illustration A\
). A coin, etc. can be used to move the button.
l Attach the seat belt to the child seat according the child seat manufact\
urer's instructions.
l Pull the lap section of the seat belt taut.

The lap section of the seat belt cannot be loosened as long as the red l\
ock button is in the right position.
The lap section of the seat belt can be adjusted when the lock button is\
in the left position (see illustration B).

NOTE: Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully af\
ter being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the
retractor slot. When not in use, the child restraint should be secured w\
ith the seat belt to help prevent movement during a sudden
stop.
WARNING! Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backres\
ts in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with \
the seat belt properly fastened.
