How To Engage The Automatic Locking Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire seat belt is
extracted.
3. Allow the seat belt to retract. As the seat belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the seat 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 dis-
engage the Automatic Locking Mode and activate the vehicle sensitive (emergency)
locking mode.
• The seat belt assembly must be replaced if the switchable Automatic Lock-
ing Retractor (ALR) feature or any other seat belt function is not working
properly when checked according to the procedures in the Service Manual.
• Failure to replace the seat belt assembly could increase the risk of injury in
collisions.
• Do not use the Automatic Locking Mode to restrain occupants who are
wearing the seat belt or children who are using booster seats. The locked
mode is only used to install rear-facing or forward-facing child restraints that
have a harness for restraining the child.
