VEHICLE SEAT BELTS (continued)
Lap/Shoulder Belt with Switchable
Retractor and Sliding Latch Plate | Pull | |
Follow these steps to determine if you have a | ||
| ||
retractor system that will hold child restraint |
| |
securely: |
| |
a. Pull belt all the way out |
| |
b. Allow belt to retract about 6 inches (15 cm) | a | |
c. If you hear clicking, slowly pull out on belt again, |
| |
if it locks, then you have a retractor that can be |
| |
switched to an Automatic Locking Retractor |
| |
Mode and can be used to secure your seat to |
| |
vehicle. |
|
If you don’t have a retractor that can be switched to an Automatic Locking Retractor Mode AND you pull on the latch plate and it slides freely, a locking clip MUST be used (see Pg. 49 “Locking Clip” section).
