WARNING!
•
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an air bag. A deploying passenger front
air bag can cause death or serious injury to a child 12 years or younger, including a child in
a rear-facing child restraint.
•
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
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 disengage the
Automatic Locking Mode and activate the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
WARNING!
•
The seat belt assembly must be replaced if the switchable Automatic Locking 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.
