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
