Installation with Lap-Shoulder Seat
Belts (Child Restraint with No Top
Strap)
NOTE:
There are two types of lap-shoulder belts
depending on the vehicle’s specification,
A-ELR (Automatic-Emergency Locking
Retractor) type and ELR (Emergency
Locking Retractor) type.
The A-ELR type belts have emergency
locking retractors (ELRs) that can be tem-
porarily converted to function as automatic
locking retractors (ALRs).
The ELR type belts have ELRs that cannot
be converted to function as ALRs.
To identify the belt is the A-ELR type or the
ELR type, slowly pull all of the shoulder
webbing out of the retractor. Then let the
webbing retract a little and pull it out, and
repeat this a few times. If the belt is locked
each time you pull the belt, the belt is the
A-ELR type. If the belt is not locked, the
belt is the ELR type.
Please note that the methods to secure the
child restraint system with the ELR lap-
shoulder belt and with the A-ELR lap-
shoulder belt are different.
WARNING
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s air bag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be seriously injured.
The back of a rear-facing child
restraint would be too close to the
inflating air bag.
CAUTION
Before installing a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat, raise the head
restraint to the most upper position.
