completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
After any vehicle collision, the safety belt systems at all outboard
seating positions (except the driver position, which doesn’t have
this feature) must be checked by a qualified technician to verify that
the automatic locking retractor feature for child seats is still
functioning properly. In addition, all seat belts should be checked for
proper function.

the seat belt assembly “automatic locking retractor” feature or
any other seat belt function is not operating properly when checked

the belt and retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in
collisions.
