When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and the n
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint syst em (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull th e belt out once
more. ( P. 141)
