Child Seat Installation

ALR Operation

Front Child Seat Installation

Gently pull out the seat belt until fully extended. The ALR system

will only engage at the maximum extension point of the seat belt.

Warning: Even with the advanced restraints system,

children aged 12 and under should be correctly restrained in

the rear seats.

Thread the belt tongue through the child seat as per the child seat

manufacturer instructions. Engage the tongue into the belt

buckle.

Warning: Always follow the child seat manufacturer’s

instructions for correct installation. Not following the child

seat manufacturer’s instructions when installing the child

seat is dangerous.

Adjust the tongue position on the belt to make sure that the lower

belt run is tight and then allow the upper run of the seat belt to

fully retract until the child seat is securely held. The ALR system

will be heard ‘clicking’ as the seat belt retracts.

Warning: All child restraint systems are designed to be

secured in vehicle seats by the lap and shoulder belt portion

of a safety belt. Children could be endangered in a crash if

their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle.

When fully retracted, pull down on the upper run of the belt to

check that the ALR lock has engaged.

When parked on an incline, the seat belt may lock as it is

withdrawn. This is not a fault. If the mechanism locks, release the

seat belt tension and then pull the seat belt very gently to avoid

operation of the inertia lock.

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) system is designed to

securely hold child seats. The ALR system temporarily locks a seat

belt that is securing a child seat.

The ALR system will disengage when the seat belt is fully

retracted. The seat belt may then be worn when required as a

normal seat belt. Once the ALR is disengaged, the seat belt must

be fully extended to re-engage the system on the next occasion

that a child seat is installed.

Anchor System (CRAS). CRAS consists of both lower fixing

anchors and a top tether to safely secure a child seat into a

vehicle seat.

for adult seatbelts, harnesses or for attaching other items or

equipment to the vehicle.

passengers.

Warning: Make sure that the child seat tether strap is

always used when installing a child seat with CRAs anchors.

A tether is a strap that connects the top of a child seat to a tether

anchor point on the vehicle to reduce excessive movement of the

child seat in the event of a collision. The purpose of a tether strap

is to provide additional protection for the child seat occupant in

the event of a serious impact. The tether strap is supplementary

to the seat belts.

Your vehicle has a tether anchor point for the front passenger and

each rear passenger seat.

Engage the tether clip to the anchor point and make sure that the

locking spring has fully closed to prevent accidental

disengagement. Always make sure that the tether strap length is

adjusted to remove any slack.
