If the retractor does not unlock, pull theseatbelt out slowly then feed a smalllength of webbing back toward the stowedposition.
For rear seatbelts, recline the rear seatbackrest or push the seat backrest cushionaway from the seatbelt. Feed a smalllength of webbing back toward the stowedposition.
AUTOMATIC LOCKING MODE
WHAT IS AUTOMATIC LOCKINGMODE
This feature keeps the seatbeltspre-locked. The belt still retracts to removeany slack in the shoulder belt.
WHEN TO USE AUTOMATICLOCKING MODE
Use this mode any time you install a childrestraint in a front or rear seating position.Properly restrain children 12 years old andunder in a rear seat whenever possible. SeeChild Safety (page 50).
Note:Automatic locking mode is notavailable on the driver seatbelt.

Note:The driver and front passengerwarnings switch off independently. Whenyou perform this procedure for one seatingposition, do not buckle the other position asthis cancels the process.
Note:If you are using MyKey, you cannotdisable the seatbelt reminder. Also, if theseatbelt reminder has been previouslydisabled, it will be re-enabled during the useof MyKey. See MyKey™ (page 99).
Read Steps 1 - 4 before proceeding withthe programming procedure.
Make sure that:
•The parking brake is set.
•The transmission is in park (P).
•The ignition is off.
•The driver and front passengerseatbelts are unfastened.
