Introduction

If your child restraint system has a tetherstrap, and the child restraint manufacturerrecommends its use, we also recommendits use.
Rear Seat Tether StrapAttachment (Crew Cab and SuperCab)
There are three loops of webbing justabove the back of the rear seat (along thebottom edge of the rear window). Usethese loops as both routing loops andanchor loops for up to three child safetyseat tether straps.
For example, you can use the center loopas a routing loop for a child safety seat inthe center rear seat and as an anchoringloop for child restraints installed in theoutboard rear seats.
Many tether straps cannot be tightened ifthe tether strap is hooked to the loopdirectly behind the child restraint. Toprovide a tight tether strap:
1. Route the tether strap under the headrestraint and through the loop directlybehind the child restraint.
2.Route the tether strap behind the headrestraint supports to a loop behind anadjacent seating position, and hook thestrap hook onto the loop. If using thedriver side, pass the strap behind theshoulder belt for the center seat.Always put the tether strap through therouting loop. The head restraintsupport post will hold the childrestraint tightly, but the head restraintpost is not strong enough to hold thechild restraint during a crash.
3. Tighten the tether strap according tothe child restraint manufacturer'sinstructions.

Seatbelt Locking Modes
WARNINGS
After any vehicle crash, the seatbeltsystem at all passenger seatingpositions must be checked by anauthorized dealer to verify that theautomatic locking retractor feature forchild seats is still functioning properly. Inaddition, all seatbelts should be checkedfor proper function.

All safety restraints in the vehicle arecombination lap and shoulder belts. Thedriver seatbelt has the first type of lockingmode, and the front outboard passengerand rear seat seatbelts have both types oflocking modes described as follows:
Vehicle Sensitive Mode
This is the normal retractor mode, whichallows free shoulder belt lengthadjustment to your movements andlocking in response to vehicle movement.For example, if the driver brakes suddenly,turns a corner sharply, or the vehiclereceives an impact of about 5 mph(8 km/h) or more, the combinationseatbelts will lock to help reduce forwardmovement of the driver and passengers.
In addition, the retractor is designed to lockif the webbing is pulled out too quickly. Ifthis occurs, let the belt retract slightly andpull webbing out again in a slow andcontrolled manner.
Automatic Locking Mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt isautomatically pre-locked. The belt will stillretract to remove any slack in the shoulderbelt. The automatic locking mode is notavailable on the driver seatbelt.
When to Use the Automatic LockingMode
Use this mode any time you install a childsafety seat in a front outboard passengerseating position in a Regular Cab,SuperCab, SuperCrew or any rear seatingposition of a SuperCab or SuperCrew. Theoptional front seat's center seatbelt has acinch mechanism. Children 12 years oldand under should be properly restrained ina rear seat whenever possible. See ChildSafety (page 17).
How to Use the Automatic LockingMode
Non-inflatable seatbelts
1. Buckle the combination lap andshoulder belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pulldownward until you pull the entire beltout.

The fully inflated belt's increased diametermore effectively holds the occupant in theappropriate seating position, and spreadscrash forces over more area of the bodythan regular seatbelts. This helps reducepressure on the chest and helps controlhead and neck motion for passengers.
WARNING
If the rear inflatable seatbelt hasdeployed, it will not function again.The rear inflatable seatbelt systemmust be replaced by an authorized dealer.
The rear inflatable seatbelts are designedto inflate in frontal or near-frontal crashes,rollovers and some side impact crashes.The fact that the rear inflatable seatbeltdid not inflate in a crash does not meanthat something is wrong with the system.Rather, it means the forces were not of thetype sufficient to cause activation.
SEATBELT HEIGHT
