NISSAN 2008 Sentra - Manual (Page 37)

᭺
2 Position the lap belt portion low and snug
on the hips as shown.
᭺
3 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 rear three-point seat belts have a locking
mechanism for child restraint installation. It is
referred to as the Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) mode or child restraint mode.
When the ALR is activated, the seat belt cannot
be extended again until the seat belt tongue is
detached from the buckle and fully retracted.
After the seat belt fully retracts, the seat belt
returns to the Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) mode. See “Child restraints” later in this
section for more information.
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During normal
seat belt use by a passenger, the locking
mode should not be activated. If it is acti-
vated it may cause uncomfortable seat belt
tension.
Unfastening the seat belts
᭺
1 To unfasten the seat belt, press the button on
the buckle. The seat belt automatically re-
tracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt
movement by two separate methods:
● When the seat belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
● When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
