6. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the seat
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 belt as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and test
it again. You may need to try a different
child restraint. Not all child restraints fit
in all types of vehicles.
7. Check that the retractor is in the ALR
mode by trying to pull more seat belt out
of the retractor. If you cannot pull any
more seat belt webbing out of the retrac-
tor, the retractor is in the ALR mode.
8. Check to make sure that the child re-
straint is properly secured prior to each
use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 3 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt fully retracted, the ALR mode (child re-
straint mode) is canceled.
PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER SEATS
WARNING
●
Infants and small children should always be
placed in an appropriate child restraint
while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a
child restraint or booster seat can result in
serious injury or death.
●
Infants and small children should never be
carried on your lap. It is not possible for even
the strongest adult to resist the forces of a
severe accident. The child could be crushed
between the adult and parts of the vehicle.
Also, do not put the same seat belt around
both your child and yourself.
