Child Restraint: Description and Operation

In addition to the ELR system, the two outboard seat belt systems (Sedan and Wagon) incorporates a Child Hold-Out Mechanism (CHOM) which is designed to lock the seat belt webbing in place while using a child seat. To activate the CHOM system, feed the latch plate through the child seat and into the buckle. Pull the seat belt all the way out of the retractor, then feed back in until the child seat is secure. While the CHOM is activated, a slight clicking sound will be audible when the belt is fed into the retractor. To de-activate the CHOM system simply unbuckle the seat belt and feed it all the way into the retractor.
