This mode must be used when installing a child seat. To switch the retractor from the emergency locking mode to the automatic locking mode, perform the following steps: 1. 2. 3. Buckle the lap/shoulder combination belt. Pull on the belt until all of the stored belt is out of the retractor and a click is heard. 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. NOTE: When the combination lap/shoulder belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract completely, the retractor will switch to the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode. See the detailed instructions under Safety Seats for Children in this chapter. Safety Belt Extension Assembly A safety belt that is too short even when fully extended can be lengthened. You can add about eight inches (20 cm) to the belt length with a safety belt extension assembly. Safety belt extensions are available at no cost from your dealer. Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on the label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too short for you when fully extended. Do not use extension to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso. 103
