CAUTION
nCaution while driving
Keep the trunk lid closed.
This not only keeps personal belongings from being thrown out, but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.

in the vehicle or trunk, which could cause the child to overheat or suffocate,
resulting in death or serious injury.

nEmergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
n Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. ( →P. 87)
n Pregnant women
n People suffering illness
