retractor to change the retractor over from
the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

clicks will be heard which indicate the
retractor functions as ALR.

CAUTION
When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with it. After
installing the child restraint system,
check to ensure that it is held
securely in position. If it is not held
tight and secure, the danger of your
child suffering personal injury in the
event of an accident may be increased.
