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 re-

tractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the
shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder and
across your chest.

The front passenger seat and the rear seating
positions 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 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. For additional information, see
“Child restraints” in this section.

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.

WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position. If they are not com-
pletely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop.
