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.
