Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The ALR mode is used when locking a child seat in any passenger seating position. The ALR mode automatically activates when the safety belt webbing is fully extracted from the retractor and then allowed to retract. As the safety belt webbing retracts back onto the spool, an audible clicking sound is made, indicating the safety belt retractor is in ALR mode and the safety belt webbing cannot pull back out of the safety belt retractor. The ALR mode disengages when the webbing is allowed to fully retract back into the retractor. For testing, REFER to Functional Test - Safety Belt Retractor, Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) Mode , or REFER to Functional Test - Safety Belt Retractor, Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) Mode, Inflatable Safety Belt .
