3. To activate the ALR child restraint installation function,
slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out of
the retractor until it stops. Then let the belt feed back into
the retractor.
4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If the belt is in the
ALR function, you will not be able to pull it out. If the
webbing can be pulled out from retractor, the ALR func-
tion has not been activated and you will need to repeat
steps 3 and 4.5. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder
part of the belt near the buckle and pull up to remove any
slack from the lap part of the belt allowing the slack to
feed into the retractor. Remember, if the lap belt portion is
not tight, the child restraint system will not be secure. It
may help to put your weight on the child restraint system
and/or push on its seatback while pulling up on the belt
(see illustration).
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap,
fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following proce-
dures.

tem to the tether anchor (B) as illustrated below (8) and
tighten the top tether strap so it is securely fastened.9. Before putting your child in the restraint, push and pull
the restraint in all directions to be sure it is firmly secured.
Do this before each use. If the child restraint system is not
firmly secure, repeat steps 1 through 8.
10. To remove a child restraint system from the vehicle and
deactivate the ALR mode, remove the child from the
restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Then remove the belt from
the restraint and let the belt fully retract.

N00509100689
[For vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Security
Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer
to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)”:
“Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on page
3-41.[Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced

The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce
the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid
start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain condi-
tions) using a key “registered” to the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics.
