Operating Instructions For Built-In (Integrated) Child
Restraint — If Equipped
Refer to the picture below to become familiar with the parts
of the child seat and five-point seat belts. This child restraint
system conforms to U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 213.4.
It is important to use an approved rear-facing infant re-
straint for a full year to allow the neck and spine to develop
enough to support the weight of the child’s head in the
event of a collision.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions can result in your
child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden
stop or crash. Snugly adjust the belts provided with the
child restraint around your child.
Who Should Use This Child Seat:
Children 10-23 kg (22-50 pounds).
This integrated child seat is designed for use only by
children who weigh between 10 and 23 kg (22 and 50
pounds) and whose shoulders are not above the shoulder
belt slot position and who are capable of sitting upright
alone (Figure 2).
Who Should Use Adult Seat And Belts:
Children over 23 kg (50 pounds) and adults.
Children over 23 kg (50 pounds) should find that the adult
seat when used with the adult belts equipped with adjust-
able upper anchorages provide a safe and comfortable fit
(Figure 3).
To Open The Child Restraint:
Grasp the upper portion (leg rest pad) (Figure 4) and lower
the child seat cushion.
WARNING!
Do not use this cushion as a booster chair with adult
seat belts. Serious or fatal injury to the child could
result in the event of an accident.

To Secure The Child:
1. Before placing the child in the seat, add slack to the
shoulder belts. Release the seat belts by pulling up on the
shoulder belt adjustment strap located at the top of the
seat, then pull on the seat belts (Figure 5).
WARNING!
Whenever a child is using the integrated child seat, be
sure that the head restraint is installed in the fully
lowered position or personal injury may result in the
event of an accident.
2. Place the child into the child seat and put a shoulder belt
over each shoulder. Insert both seat belt latch plates into
the buckle and pull up on them to make sure they are
firmly latched (Figure 6).
NOTE:Be sure that the seat belt buckle is free of foreign
objects that may prevent you from properly latching the
latch plates. If an object is in the opening, and cannot be
removed, see your dealer for service immediately.
3. Fasten the two halves of the shoulder belt clip together
and put it 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) below the child’s chin. The
purpose of the clip is to keep the shoulder belts posi-
tioned correctly on the shoulders (Figure 7).4. Pull the shoulder belt adjustment strap firmly until the
shoulder belts are tight against the child’s shoulders. You
should not be able to put more than two fingers between
the shoulder belts and the child’s chest (Figure 8).
A ratcheting sound should be heard as the excess belt
material returns to the retractor and belts become secure
around the child.
NOTE:Once properly adjusted there is no need to release
the seat belts until a change in clothing or height or weight
occurs.
WARNING!
•A frayed or torn child restraint belt could rip apart in
a collision and leave your child with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts,
frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately.
•Do not disassemble or modify the system.
•Child restraint belt systems must be replaced after a
collision if they have been damaged (bent buckle or
5-point connector, torn webbing, etc.). Similarly, the
child restraint-equipped bench or bucket seat must be
replaced after a collision if it is damaged (bent or
broken seat frame, etc.).
