Special seat belt retractor
All seat belts except the driver's seat belt are
equipped with a special seat belt retractor.
When activated, the special seat belt
retractor ensures the seat belt will not
slacken once the child restraint system has
been secured.
Installing a child restraint system:
- Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation instructions.
- Pull the seat belt smoothly from the inertia
reel.
- Engage the seat belt tongue in the belt
buckle.
Activating the special seat belt retractor:
- Pull the seat belt out fully and let the inertia
reel retract it again.
While the seat belt is retracting, you should
hear a ratcheting sound. The special seat
belt retractor is enabled.
- Push down on the child restraint system to
take up any slack.
Removing a child restraint system/deactivating the special seat belt
retractor:
- Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation instructions.
- Press the seat belt release button and
guide the belt tongue to the belt outlet.
The special seat belt retractor is
deactivated.
WARNING
Never release the seat belt buckle while the
vehicle is in motion, since the special seat belt
retractor will be deactivated.
