To securely fasten a child restraint with a seat belt that is set to automatic locking mode, follow the instructions below.

3. To switch the retractable seat belt reel to automatic lockout mode, pull the seat belt fully out of the reel (pic. 1.142).
4. Install the child restraint firmly in the car seat. Make sure the seat belt is taut and fully retracted onto the retractable reel. If the inertia reel is switched to automatic lock mode, then when the belt is put on the reel, clicks will be heard. If the seat belt does not tighten and firmly press the child restraint to the seat, then you must perform this operation again.
Note. Check the automatic locking of the seat belt before each use of the child restraint. If the inertia reel is set to automatic locking mode, then the seat belt should not protrude when you try to pull it off the reel. After removing the child restraint, fully return the seat belt to the inertia reel in order to switch it to the emergency belt lock mode. Check that the seat belt is working properly before placing a passenger in this seat.
