the retractors.
Acceptable Autobelt Retractor Type
ALR – Automatic Locking Retractor: Allows belt to be
pulled in one motion until fastened, then operates as a
ratchet, winding in slack, preventing further extension
(until completely rewound). In most belts, you will hear
a faint clicking sound that indicates the belt is locked
and ratcheting in.
Switchable– When Adjusted to the ELR mode -
Manually adjustable from ELR mode to ALR mode. For
most, pull belt webbing all the way out of the retractor to
activate theALR mode. A slight "click" may be heard, but
the belt will ratchet in to retractor once switched into ALR
mode). In some models, the retractors switch from ELR
to ALR by pushing a button.
Unacceptable Autobelt Retractor Type
ELR – Emergency Locking Retractor: Allows the belt
to befreely extended or rewound. It locks only when the
vehicle slows, changes direction or stops suddenly.
