When to use the automatic locking mode

This mode should be used any time a child safety seat, except a

booster, is installed in passenger front or rear seating positions. Children

12 years old and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating

position whenever possible. Refer to Safety restraints for children or

Safety seats for children later in this chapter.

How to use the automatic locking mode

1. Buckle the combination lap and

shoulder belt.

2. Grasp the shoulder portion and

pull downward until the entire belt

is pulled out.

• Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking

sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic locking

mode.

How to disengage the automatic locking mode

Disconnect the combination lap/shoulder belt and allow it to retract

completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the

vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

WARNING: After any vehicle collision, the safety belt system at

all passenger seating positions must be checked by an authorized

dealer to verify that the “automatic locking retractor” feature for child

seats is still functioning properly. In addition, all safety belts should be

checked for proper function.

WARNING: BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE

REPLACED if the safety belt assembly “automatic locking

retractor” feature or any other safety belt function is not operating

properly when checked by an authorized dealer. Failure to replace the

belt and retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in

collisions.
