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.
