With the exception of the driver, the seat belt in all other seating pos
itions can be converted
from normal Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode to Automatic Locking Retractor(ALR) mode. This means that when you pull the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will switch to its ALR child restraintinstallation function.
Always use the ALR
child restraint installation function when you install a child restraint system using the seatbelt. Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in the rear seat, when- ever possible, although the front passenger seat belt can also be converted to ALR mode.
1. Place the child restraint system on the seat where you wish to install it. To help assure proper fitting of the child restraint system, alwa
ys remove the head
restraint. 2. Route the seat belt through the child restraint system according to the instruc-tions provided by the child restraint sys- tem manufacturer. Then insert the seat belt latch plate into
the buckle. Make sure
you hear a “click” when you insert the latch plate into the buckle. 3. To activate the ALR child restraint instal- lation function, slow
ly pull the shoulder
part of the belt all the way out of the retractor until it stops. Then let the beltfeed back into the retractor.

or an accide
nt, resulting
in serious injury or
death to the child or
other occupants.

The seat belt webbing
may be cleaned with
mild soap or detergent solution. Do not use an organic solvent. Allow the belts to dry in theshade. Do not allow them to retract until com- pletely dry. Do not attempt to bleach or re- dye the belts. The color may rub off and thewebbing strength may be affected. Regularly check your se
at belt buckles and
their release mechanisms
for positive engage-
ment and release of the
latch plate. Check the
retractors for automatic locking when in the Automatic Locking Retractor function. The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing shows any obvious cuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec- tion of the webbing from broken fibers, orsevere fading from sunlig
ht. All of these con-
ditions indicate a weakening of the belt, which may adversely affe
ct seat belt perfor-
mance in an accident.
