REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING THE
SEAT BELTS — JUMP SEAT
(King Cab® models)
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 restraint not being prop-
erly 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. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” in this
section.
∙ A child restraint system will not be in- stalled properly and the child could be
seriously injured or killed in a sudden
stop or collision.
– Never install a rear-facing child re- straint system on the driver’s side
jump seat.
– Do not install a child restraint sys- tem on the passenger’s side jump
seat without unfolding the seat
extender.
WARNING
∙ To install a rear-facing child restrainton the passenger’s side jump seat, it
will be necessary to move the front
passenger’s seat fully forward and
place the front seatback upright or tilt
it forward. Failure to do so may cause
the child restraint to not be installed
properly and cause serious injury or
death in a sudden stop or collision.

bined weight of the child and the child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the com-

You may need to try a different child
restraint. Not all child restraints fit in all
types of vehicles. 8. Check to make sure that the child re-
straint is properly secured prior to each

bined weight of the child and the child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs., (29.5 kg) use

2. Secure the child restraint anchor at-tachments to the LATCH lower an-
chors. Check to make sure the LATCH
attachment is properly attached to the
lower anchors.
If the child restraint is equipped with a
top tether strap, route the top tether
strap and secure the tether strap to
the tether anchor point. For additional
information, refer to “Installing top
tether strap” in this section. Do not install child restraints that re-
quire the use of a top tether strap in
seating positions that do not have a
top tether anchor.
3. The back of the child restraint should be secured against the vehicle seat-
back.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the cor-
rect child restraint fit. If the head
restraint/headrest is removed, store it
in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint/headrest when
the child restraint is removed. For additional information, refer to
“Head restraints/headrests” in this sec-
tion.
If the seating position does not have
an adjustable head restraint/headrest
and it is interfering with the proper
child restraint fit, try another seating
position or a different child restraint.

path. The child restraint should not
move more than 1 inch (25 mm), from
side to side. Try to tug it forward and
check to see if the LATCH attachment
holds the restraint in place. If the re-
straint is not secure, tighten the LATCH
attachment as necessary, or put the
restraint in another seat and test it
again. You may need to try a different
child restraint. Not all child restraints fit
