Seating and safety restraints Using automatic locking mode The automatic locking mode must be used when installing a child safety seat in any outboard passenger seat. 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder belt portion and pull downward until the entire belt is extracted. 3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This indicates that the safety belt is now in the automatic locking mode. Canceling automatic locking mode Disconnect the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to completely retract. This will cancel the automatic locking mode and activate the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode. Adjusting the lap belt A lap belt is located in the center of the rear seat and third row seat (if equipped). Because the lap belt does not have a retractor to automatically adjust itself during vehicle movement, the lap belt must be adjusted before use. 83
