■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. 5 3 )

dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact
with the shift lever, wiper
switch, etc.
Use the rear door child-pro-
tector lock or the window

opening the door while driv-
ing or operating the power
window accidentally.
( P.116, 162)
Do not let small children

may catch or pinch body
parts, such as the power
window, hood, tailgate,
seats, etc.

has not been previously
registered in the vehicle’s
on-board computer.

the vehicle when you leave
the vehicle.
This system is designed to
help prevent vehicle theft
but does not guarantee
absolute security against all
vehicle thefts.

ates correctly

tem. If modified or removed, the
proper operation of the system
cannot be guaranteed.
