2. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for belt routing.
3. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt re-
tractor is in the ALR mode (child restraint
mode). It reverts to the ELR mode when
the seat belt is fully retracted.
4. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on
the shoulder belt to remove any slack in
the belt.

5. Remove any additional slack from the seat
belt; press downward and rearward firmly
in the center of the child restraint to com-
press the vehicle seat cushion and seat-
back while pulling up on the seat belt.
6. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the child
restraint near the seat belt 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 belt
holds the restraint in place. If the restraint
is not secure, tighten the seat belt as nec-
essary, or put the restraint in another seat
and test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child re-
straints fit in all types of vehicles.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint
is properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 1
through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt fully retracted, the ALR mode (child
restraint mode) is canceled.
FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH
For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-25) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-28) be-
fore 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 vehi-
cle's seat belt (not the lower anchors) to in-
stall the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions for
installation.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint in the 2nd row seats
using the LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions.
