Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor

and insert the tongue into the buckle until

you hear and feel the latch engage.

The retractor is designed to lock during

a sudden stop or on impact. A slow

pulling motion permits the seat belt to

move, and allows you some freedom of

movement in the seat.

If the seat belt cannot be pulled from

its fully retracted position, firmly pull

the belt and release it. Then smoothly

pull the belt out of the retractor.

3

Position the lap belt portion low and snug

on the hips as shown.

4

Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the

retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the

shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder

and across your chest.

The jump seat position’s three-point seat belts

have two modes of operation:

● Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
● Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode

allows the seat belt to extend and retract to allow

the driver and passengers some freedom of

movement in the seat. The ELR locks the seat belt

when the vehicle slows down rapidly or during

certain impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode

(child restraint mode) locks the seat belt for child

restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated, the seat belt

cannot be extended again until the seat belt

tongue is detached from the buckle and fully

retracted. The seat belt returns to the ELR mode

after the seat belt fully retracts. See “Child re-

straints” later in this section for more information.
The ALR mode should be used only for

child restraint installation. During normal

seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR mode

should not be activated. If it is activated it

may cause uncomfortable seat belt ten-

sion. It can also change the operation of

the front passenger air bag. See “Front

passenger air bag and status light” later in

this section.

WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be certain

that the seatbacks are completely se-

cured in the latched position. If they are

not completely secured, passengers may

be injured in an accident or sudden stop.
