To switch the retractor from the “emergency
locking mode” to the “automatic locking mode,”
perform the following steps:

[SR03040(BEF )04/95]

1.

Buckle the lap/shoulder combination belt.

[SR03050(BEF )04/95]

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 will be heard. At this time,
the belt retractor is in the “automatic locking
mode” (child restraint mode).

[SR03060(BEF )04/95]

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.”

[SR03070(BEF )04/95]

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

Combination Lap and Shoulder
Belts

*

[SR03125(BEF )05/95]

While your vehicle is in motion, the combination
lap and shoulder belt adjusts to your movement.
However, if you brake hard, corner hard or if
your truck receives an impact of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or more, the combination lap/shoulder
belt locks and helps reduce your forward
movement. The front seat belt systems can also
be made to lock by jerking on the shoulder belt.

[SR03130(BEF )05/95]

NOTE: The rear belts cannot be made to lock

up by jerking on shoulder belt.
