Automatic locking mode — in this mode, the shoulder belt is

automatically pre-locked to limit the child’s movement in the seat. The

belt will still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belts. The

automatic locking mode should be used if the child is sleeping or

attempting to get out of the seat.

The retractor will switch from the vehicle sensitive mode to the

automatic locking mode when the left hand shoulder belt is pulled all the

way out. The retractor will switch back to the vehicle sensitive mode

when the belts are unbuckled and the shoulder belts retract completely.

Frequently check the child seat’s lap and shoulder harness belts for

correct placement and tightness. Use the child seat only if the harness

belts will stay snug when belts are placed into the lock mode with a child

in the seat. If belts do not remain snug, take the vehicle to the dealer for

child seat repair.

Always adjust the lap and shoulder harness belts provided with this child

seat snugly around your child.

Placing your child in the built-in child seat

Failure to follow all of the instructions on the use of this child

restraint system can result in your child striking the vehicle’s

interior during a sudden stop or crash.

Never use the Built-In Child Seat as a booster cushion with the

adult safety belts. A child using the adult belts could slide

forward and out from under the safety belts.
