Energy Management Feature
The front outboard seat belt system is equipped
with an Energy Management feature that may help
further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a
collision. The seat belt system has a retractor as-
sembly that is designed to release webbing in a
controlled manner.
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALR)
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are
equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) which is used to secure a child re-
straint system. For additional information, refer to
“Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat
Belt” under the “Child Restraints” section of this
manual. The figure below illustrates the locking fea-
ture for each seating position.
If the passenger seating position is equipped with an
ALR and is being used for normal usage, only pull
the seat belt webbing out far enough to comfort-
ably wrap around the occupant’s mid-section so as
to not activate the ALR. If the ALR is activated, you
will hear a clicking sound as the seat belt retracts.
Allow the webbing to retract completely in this case
and then carefully pull out only the amount of web-
bing necessary to comfortably wrap around the oc-
cupant’s mid-section. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a "click."
In Automatic Locking Mode, the shoulder belt is
automatically pre-locked. The seat belt will still re-
tract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. Use
the Automatic Locking Mode anytime a child re-
straint is installed in a seating position that has a seat
belt with this feature. Children 12 years old and
under should always be properly restrained in the
rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat.
WARNING!
• Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious injury
to a child 12 years or younger, including a child
in a rear-facing child restraint.
• Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat of a vehicle. Only use a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat. If the vehicle
does not have a rear seat, do not transport a
rear-facing child restraint in that vehicle.
