& Automatic Locking Retractor / Emergency Locking Retractor ( ALR / ELR )
S01AE03
Each passenger ’ s seatbelt has an Automatic Locking Retractor / Emergency Locking Retractor ( ALR / ELR ). The Automatic Locking Retractor / Emergency Locking Retractor normally functions as an Emergency Locking Retractor ( ELR ). The ALR / ELR has an additional locking mode “ Automatic Locking Retractor ( ALR ) mode ” intended to secure a child restraint system . When the seatbelt is once drawn out completely and is then retracted even slightly , the retractor locks the seatbelt in that position and the seatbelt cannot be extended . As the belt is rewinding , clicks will be heard which indicate the retractor functions as an ALR . When the seatbelt is retracted fully , the ALR mode is released .
When securing a child restraint system on the rear seats by the use of the seatbelt , the seatbelt must be changed over to the Automatic Locking Retractor ( ALR ) mode .
When the child restraint system is removed , make sure that the seatbelt retracts fully and the retractor returned to the Emergency Locking Retractor ( ELR ) mode .
For instructions on how to convert the retractor to the ALR mode and restore it to the ELR mode , refer to “ Installing child restraint systems with ALR / ELR seatbelt ” FP65 .
