Seating and Safety Restraints Built-In Child Seat Retractors The retractor will switch from the emergency locking mode to the automatic locking mode when the right shoulder belt is pulled all the way out. The retractor will switch back to emergency locking mode when the belts are unbuckled and the shoulder belts retract completely. The automatic locking mode must be used to hold small children in position, particularly sleeping children and those who may try to squirm out of the belts. The emergency locking mode is used while buckling the belts. Always adjust the lap and shoulder harness belts provided with this child seat snugly around your child. RWARNING 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. How to Use the Built-In Child Seat Read the following procedures and all of the labels on the built-in child seat before using the seat. RWARNING 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. 173
