Functional Test - Automatic Locking Retractor

WARNING: After any vehicle collision, the safety belt system at all seating positions (except driver, which has no "automatic locking retractor" feature) must be checked by a qualified technician to verify that the "automatic locking" feature for child seats is still functioning correctly, in addition to other checks for correct safety belt system function. A new safety belt assembly must be installed if the safety belt assembly's "automatic locking retractor" feature or any other safety belt function is not operating correctly when checked according to the procedures . Failure to install a new safety belt retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in collisions.
  1. Position the seat back into the FULL UP position.
  2. Position the height adjuster (if equipped) in the FULL DOWN or UP position.
  3. Latch the seat belt buckle and tongue assembly.
  4. Pull the shoulder belt out until the automatic locking retractor (ALR) feature is activated.
  5. Release the shoulder belt and allow it to retract until it stops.
  6. Pull on the shoulder belt to check that the belt has remained in the ALR mode. If the belt is not locked, install a new safety belt assembly.
  7. Unlatch the safety belt tongue from the buckle and allow the safety belt to retract to its stowed position.
  8. Pull the shoulder belt to verify the retractor assembly has converted automatically out of the ALR mode. If the shoulder belt remains locked in the stowed position, install a new safety belt retractor assembly.
