Vehicle Seat Belt Compatibility
Vehicle seats and safety belts differ from vehicle to vehicle. Always refer
to your vehicle owner’s manual or call the vehicle manufacturer for spe-
cific information about the use of child restraints in your vehicle. Some
vehicles may have seating positions or seat belts which are not compati-
ble with this Columbia Medical child restraint.
Below are the types of vehicle seat belt retractors. Refer to your vehicle
owner’s manual to determine the kind of retractors used in your vehicle
and how to operate them.
•
ELR – Emergency Locking Retractor
: Allows the belt to be freely
extended or rewound. It locks only when the vehicle slows, changes
direction or stops suddenly.
•
ALR – Automatic Locking Retractor
: Allows belt to be pulled in one
motion until fastened, then operates as a ratchet, winding in slack,
preventing further extension (until completely rewound). In most belts,
you will hear a faint clicking sound that indicates the belt is locked
and ratcheting in.
•
Switchable
– Manually adjustable from ELR mode to ALR mode. For
most, pull belt webbing all the way out of the retractor to activate the
ALR mode. A slight "click" may be heard, but the belt will ratchet into
retractor once switched into ALR mode. In some models, the retrac-
tors switch from ELR to ALR by pushing a button.
