■

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, and

you can move around fully. Also, when retracting, if the belt is locked, pulling once

on the belt strongly will loosen the belt and allow you to move, and the belt can then

be pulled out.

■

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. (

Women who are pregnant should position

the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in

the same manner as other occupants. Extend

the shoulder belt completely over the shoul-

der and position the belt across the chest.

Avoid belt contact over the rounding of the

abdominal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only a

pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suf-

fer death or serious injury as a result of sud-

den braking, sudden swerving or a collision.
