The ELR locks the seat belt when the

When the ALR mode is activated the seat

are they to be used to attach adult
seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not

INSTALLATION USING LATCHRefer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and “Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the
combined weight of the child and the
child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If
the combined weight of the child and the
child restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5
kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the
lower anchors) to install the child re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.

on the side of the seatback of the
front seat or near the side roof
rails. Do not allow anyone sitting
in the front seat to extend their
hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples
of dangerous riding positions are
shown in the previous illustra-

. When sitting in the rear seat, do
not hold onto the seatback of the
front seat. If the supplemental
side air bag inflates, you may be
seriously injured. Be especially
careful with children, who should
always be properly restrained.
Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the
illustrations.
. Do not use seat covers on the
front seatbacks. They may inter-
fere with side air bag inflation.
