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 re-
straint. Failure to use the ALR mode
will result in the child restraint not
being properly 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 op-
eration of the front passenger air
bag. For additional information, see
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P. 1-80).
• A child restraint system will not be
installed properly and the child could
be seriously injured or killed in a sud-
den 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.
