To switch the retractor from the "emergency locking mode" to the "automatic locking mode," perform the following steps: 1. 2. Buckle the lap/shoulder combination belt. Grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull downward until all of the belt is extracted, and when allowed to retract, a clicking sound will be heard. At this time, the belt retractor is in the "automatic locking mode" (child restraint mode). A clicking sound will continue to be heard as the belt is allowed to retract. This indicates that the retractor is in the "automatic locking mode." 3. NOTE: When the combination lap/shoulder belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract completely, the retractor will switch back to the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode. See the detailed instructions under Safety Seats for Children in this chapter. Locking Cinch Tongue The "locking cinch tongue" will slide up and down the belt webbing when belt is in the stowed position or while putting seat belt on. When the "locking cinch tongue" of the lap/shoulder combination seat belt is latched into buckle, the "cinch tongue" will allow the lap portion to become shorter, but locks the webbing in-place to restrict it from becoming longer. Your vehicle is equipped with safety seat belts containing a "cinch tongue" at the rear outboard seating positions. 14
