When the seat belt is fully extended from
the retractor to allow the installation of a
child restraint system, the seat belt oper-
ation changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend (Automatic Locking
Retractor Type). Refer to “Using a child
restraint system” in this section.

NOTICE

Although the combination retractor

provides the same level of protection for

seated passengers in either emergency

or automatic locking modes, it is recom-

mended that seated passengers use the

emergency locking feature for improved

convenience. The automatic locking

function is intended to facilitate child

restraint installation. To convert from

the automatic locking feature to the

emergency locking operation mode,

allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully

retract.

When using the rear center seat belt, the
buckle with the “CENTER” mark must be
used.

To release the seat belt:
The seat belt is released by pressing the
release button (1) in the locking buckle.
When it is released, the belt should auto-
matically draw back into the retractor.
If this does not happen, check the belt to
be sure it is not twisted, then try again.
