4. Pull on the third row shoulder belt until all
of the belt is fully extended and a click is
heard. At this time, the belt retractor is in
the automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode). (The lap/shoulder belt re-
verts back to emergency locking mode
when it is disconnected from the tether
strap and fully retracted.)
5. Allow the belt to retract. A clicking sound
is heard as the belt retracts. This indi-
cates that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode. Tighten the tether strap to
remove any slack.
6. Before placing the child in the child re-
straint, use force to tilt the child restraint
from side to side, and tug it forward to
make sure it is securely held in place.
7. Check that the retractor is in the auto-
matic locking mode by trying to pull more
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot pull
any more belt webbing out of the retrac-
tor, the belt is in the automatic locking
mode.
8. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
belt is not locking, repeat steps 4 through
7.
INSTALLATION ON THREE-
PASSENGER BENCH SEAT IN
THIRD ROW
A child restraint with a top tether strap may
be placed on the three-passenger bench
seat when the bench seat is in the third row
location. Once the child restraint is properly
secured to the seat (see ``Installation at
second and third row outboard positions'' or
``Installation at three-passenger bench seat
center position'' earlier in this section), fol-
low the directions below to attach the tether
strap to one of the anchor points.
Tethering to floor
When installing a child restraint on the
three-passenger bench seat in the third row
position, first install the floor anchor bracket
(found in the tool kit) to the provided anchor
point. To gain access to an anchor point, cut
along the U-shaped anchor point indicators
on the floor carpeting of the luggage area.
Installing the anchor bracket requires re-
moving the bolt already installed at the
anchor point and using a metric bolt of the
dimensions listed below:
Bolt diameter: 8.0 mm
Bolt length: more than 1.18 in (30 mm)
Thread pitch: 1.25 mm
WARNING
cBolts should be installed at all times
to prevent the possibility of exhaust
fumes entering the passenger com-
partment through the holes.
cChild restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances
are they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses.
