Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retrac- tor (ALR) which is used to secure a child restraint system. For additional information, refer to “Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt” under the “Child Restraints” section of this manual. The figure below illustrates the locking feature for each seating position. If the passenger seating position is equipped with an ALR and is being used for normal usage, only pull the seat belt webbing out far enough to comfortably wrap around the occupant’s mid-section so as to not activate the ALR. If the ALR is activated, you will hear a clicking sound as the seat belt retracts. Allow the webbing to retract completely in this case and then carefully pull out only the amount of webbing necessary to comfort- ably wrap around the occupant’s mid-section. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a ⬙click.⬙ In Automatic Locking Mode, the shoulder belt is auto- matically pre-locked. The seat belt will still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. Use the Auto- matic Locking Mode anytime a child restraint is in- stalled in a seating position that has a seat belt with this feature. Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in a vehicle with a rear seat. WARNING! • Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an air bag. A deploying passenger front air bag • Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat. ALR — Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor 5 SAFETY 101 |
