& 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, change the seatbelt to the Automatic Locking Retractor( ALR) mode.
After removing the child restraint system, 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” ☞1-29.
