Seating and Safety Restraints To switch the retractor from the emergency locking mode to the automatic locking mode, perform the following steps: 1. Buckle the lap/shoulder combination belt. 2. 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 is heard. At this time, the belt retractor is in the automatic locking mode (child restraint mode). 3. 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. Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment Driver and right front passenger The driver and right front passenger shoulder belt height is adjustable to one of four (4) positions (Regular cab model) or five (5) positions (Super cab model). To adjust the belt down, push the release button on the adjuster down and slide the adjuster down. Then release the button and make sure the adjuster is firmly in one of the positions. To adjust the belt up, slide the adjuster up. (You do not have to push the release button.) Slide it up or down until the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder. 115
