Car Seat With Head Restraint Folded
Installing A Child Restraint With A 
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor 
(ALR): 
Child restraint systems are designed to be secured 
in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion 
of a lap/shoulder belt.
1. Place the child seat in the center of the  seating position. If the second row seat can 
be reclined, you may recline the seat and/or 
raise the head restraint (if adjustable) to get a 
better fit. If the rear seat can be moved 
forward and rearward in the vehicle, you may 
wish to move it to its rear-most position to 
make room for the child seat. You may also 
move the front seat forward to allow more 
room for the child seat.
 2. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the 
retractor to pass it through the belt path of the 
child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in 
the belt path.
3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you  hear a “click.”
4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion  tight against the child seat.
5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder  part of the belt until you have pulled all the 
seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, 
allow the webbing to retract back into the 
retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear 
a clicking sound. This means the seat belt is 
now in the Automatic Locking mode.
6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it  is locked, you should not be able to pull out any 
webbing. If the retractor is not
 locked, repeat 
step 5.
7. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to  tighten the lap portion around the child 
restraint while you push the child restraint 
rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.
WARNING!
Always make sure the head restraint is in its 
upright position when the seat is to be used by 
an occupant who is not in a child restraint. 
Sitting in a seat with the head restraint in its 
lowered position could result in serious injury or 
death in a collision.
1 — Folded Headrest
2 — Child Restraint
WARNING!
Improper installation or failure to properly 
secure a child restraint can lead to failure of 
the restraint. The child could be badly injured 
or killed.
Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s 
directions exactly when installing an infant or 
child restraint.
