4. Pull up on the shoulder portion of the belt to ensure
that there is no slack in the lap belt. The belt will retain
the small amount of slack necessary for comfort when
you return to your normal seating position. If the belt is
still too tight, pull out 6 to 8 inches of webbing, release
the belt, and let it return to your chest.
NOTE
: If a person wearing the seat belt moves their
upper body or the belt completely unwinds, the retractor
may switch to its Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
child restraint installation mode and lock (see page 82),
thus preventing further movement. If this happens, the
person should switch the retractor back to its Emergency
Locking Retractor (ELR) mode by unlatching the buckle
and letting the belt fully retract. The person should then
put the seat belt back on repeating steps 1 through 4.
WARNING!
• Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and as low
as possible across the hips, not around the waist.
Failure to do so may increase the chance or sever-
ity of injury in the event of a collision.
• Wear the seat belt without twisting it.
