Rear Center Lap/Shoulder Belt Retractor Lockout

This feature is designed to lock the retractor whenever the

rear seatback is not fully latched. This prevents someone

from wearing the rear center lap/shoulder belt when the

rear seatback is not fully latched.

NOTE:

If the rear center lap/shoulder belt cannot be

pulled out, check that the rear seatback is fully latched. If

the rear seatback is properly latched and the rear center

lap/shoulder belt still cannot be pulled out, the Automatic-

Locking Retractor (ALR) system may be activated. To reset

this feature you must let all of the seat belt webbing return

into the retractor. You will not be able to pull out more

webbing until all of the webbing has been returned back

into the retractor.

WARNING!

The rear center lap/shoulder belt is equipped with a
lock-out feature to ensure that the rear seatback is in
the fully upright and locked position when occupied.
If the rear seatback is not fully upright and locked and

warning could result in serious injury or death.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure

shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor

point.

2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the latch

plate, grasp and twist the seat belt webbing 180 degrees

to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch

plate.

3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing.

The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the

latch plate.

4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears the

folded webbing and the seat belt is no longer twisted.
