Emergency locking retractor (ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.

Automatic locking retractor (ALR)

When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. (

→P. 136)

Child seatbelt usage

The seatbelts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult
size.

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seatbelt.
(

→P. 132)

When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's
seatbelt, follow the instructions on P. 58 regarding seatbelt usage.
