How to Deactivate Automatic Locking Mode

Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to fully retract to disengage Automatic Locking mode and activate the vehicle-sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

• The seat belt assembly must be replaced if the Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) or any other seat belt function does not operate properly when checked in accordance with the procedures in the Service Manual.
• Failure to replace the seat belt assembly in a timely manner may increase the risk of injury in a crash.
• Do not use the Automatic Locking mode to restrain occupants who are wearing a seat belt or children using a booster seat. The locking mode is used only to install a rear-facing or forward-facing child restraint that has a harness to hold the child.
