PASSENGER AUTOMATIC LOCKING
RESTRAINT (ALR)
The safety belt is designed to lock
during an accident, but it will also lock if
it is pulled out all the way during initial
buckling, and you may be unaware that
this has happened.
If the safety belt does lock, unbuckle it
and allow it to retract fully, then pull it
out and re-buckle the belt.
