RAM 2015 1500, Operating Information Manual, Page: 37 / 998

Energy Management Feature — If
Equipped
This vehicle has a seat belt system with an
Energy Management feature in the front seating
positions that may help further reduce the risk of
injury in the event of a collision. This seat belt
system has a retractor assembly that is de-
signed to release webbing in a controlled man-
ner.
Center Lap Belts
The center seating position for the Quad Cab®,
Mega Cab® and Crew Cab front seat has a lap
belt only. To buckle the lap belt, slide the latch
plate into the buckle until you hear a
" click. " To
lengthen the lap belt, tilt the latch plate and pull.
To remove slack, pull the loose end of the
webbing. Wear the lap belt snug against the
hips. Sit back and upright in the seat, then
adjust the seat belt as tightly as is comfortable.
Automatic Locking Retractors (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.
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. "
