Automatic Locking Retractors; Child Seats - Aston Martin One-77 2010 Owner's Manual

Automatic Locking Retractors

Warning: Always follow the child seat
manufacturer's instructions. Not following the
child-seat manufacturer's instructions when
installing the child seat is dangerous.
Aston Martin does not recommend any specific child
seat for this vehicle which require the use of the
vehicle seat belt for installation.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) system is
designed to securely hold child seats. The ALR system
temporarily locks the seat belt that is securing a child
seat.
ALR Operation
Gently pull out the seat belt until fully extended. The
ALR system will only engage at the maximum
extension point of the seat belt.
Thread the belt tongue through the child seat as
instructed by the child seat manufacturer. Engage the
tongue into the belt buckle.
Adjust the tongue position on the belt, if necessary, to
make sure that the lower belt run is tight and then
allow the upper run of the seat belt to fully retract until
the child seat is securely held. The ALR system will be
heard 'clicking' as the seat belt retracts.
When fully retracted, pull down on the upper run of
the belt to check that the ALR lock has engaged.
3.18
When parked on an incline, the seat belt may lock
as it is withdrawn. This is not a fault. If the mechanism
locks, release the seat belt tension and then pull the
seat belt very gently to avoid operation of the inertia
lock.
The ALR system will disengage when the seat belt is
fully retracted. The seat belt may then be worn when
required as a normal seat belt. Once the ALR is
disengaged, the seat belt must be fully extended to re-
engage the system on the next occasion that a child
seat is installed.

Child Seats

Warning: Always follow the child seat
manufacturer's instructions. Not following the
child seat manufacturer's instructions when
installing the child seat is dangerous.
Warning: Do not seat a child aged 12 or
younger, or weighing 36 kg or less in the car
without an appropriate child seat or booster
cushion.
