REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT IN-
STALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS
GUID-8DE8014C-18D8-487E-9787-117D005E68B6
WARNING
.The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child
restraint. Failure to use the ALR
mode will result in the child re-
straint not being properly secured.
The restraint could tip over or be
loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front
passenger air bag. See “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light”
later in this section.
. When installing a child restraint
system in the rear center position,
both the center seat belt connector
tongue and buckle tongue must be
secured. See “Rear center seat belt
(Hardtop models)” earlier in this section. (Hardtop models)

restraint using the vehicle seat belts in the rear
seats:
1.
Child restraints for infants must be
used in the rear-facing direction and
