THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
• ALR — Automatic Locking Retractor
If the passenger seating position is
equipped with an ALR and is being used
for normal usage:
Only pull the belt webbing out far enough
to comfortably wrap around the occu-
pants mid-section so as to not activate the
ALR. If the ALR is activated you will hear a
ratcheting sound as the belt retracts. Al-
low the webbing to retract completely in
this case and then carefully pull out only
the amount of webbing necessary to com-
fortably wrap around the occupants mid-
section. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a click.
Automatic Locking Retractor Mode
(ALR) — If Equipped
In this mode, the shoulder belt is automati-
cally pre-locked. The belt will still retract to
38
remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The
Automatic Locking Mode is available on
all passenger-seating positions with a
combination lap/shoulder belt. Use the
Automatic Locking Mode anytime a child
safety seat is installed in a seating position
that has a belt with this feature. Children
12 years old and under should always be
properly restrained in the rear seat.
How To Engage The Automatic
Locking Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and shoul-
der belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull
downward until the entire belt is extracted.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt
retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
This indicates the safety belt is now in the
Automatic Locking Mode.
How To Disengage The Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap/shoulder
belt and allow it to retract completely to
disengage the Automatic Locking Mode
and activate the vehicle sensitive (emer-
gency) locking mode.
