Lap/Shoulder Belt Installation - Rear-Facing/Forward Facing Modes

Always review your vehicle owner's manual for specific information about
your vehicle seat belts.
There are three types of retractors: ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor),
ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor) , and Switchable (ELR switch to
ALR). To determine your type of retractor, follow these steps:
1. Slowly pull the belt out about halfway and stop.
2. Let the belt retract back several inches.
3. Try to slowly pull the belt out more. If the belt cannot
be pulled any further, it is ALR. If it can be pulled
further, go to the next step.
4. Slowly pull the belt all the way out, and then allow it
to retract several inches.
5. Try to pull the belt all the way out again. If it cannot be pulled out, it is
Switchable. If it can still be pulled out freely, it is ELR.
Note: Most vehicles manufactured after 1996 will have Switchable
retractors in the back seat. If you have any questions about your retractor
type, consult your vehicle owner's manual or call Graco for assistance.
