Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) —
If Equipped
The seat belts in the passenger seating posi-
tions may be equipped with a Switchable Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) which is used to
secure a child restraint system. For additional
information, refer to “Installing Child Restraints
Using The Vehicle Seat Belt” under the “Child
Restraints” section of this manual. The table
below defines the type of feature for each
seating position.

ALR = Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
If the passenger seating position is equipped
with an ALR and is being used for normal
usage, only pull the seat belt webbing out far
enough to comfortably wrap around the occu-
pant’s mid-section so as to not activate the ALR.
If the ALR is activated, you will hear a clicking
sound as the seat belt retracts. Allow the web-
bing to retract completely in this case and then
carefully pull out only the amount of webbing
necessary to comfortably wrap around the oc-
cupant’s mid-section. Slide the latch plate into
the buckle until you hear a
" click. "
In Automatic Locking Mode, the shoulder belt is
automatically pre-locked. The seat belt will still
retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt.
Use the Automatic Locking Mode anytime a
child restraint is installed in a seating position
that has a seat belt with this feature. Children 12
years old and under should always be properly
restrained in a vehicle with a rear seat.
WARNING!
•
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying Passenger
Advanced 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 rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
