The front passenger and rear seat belts
have a locking mechanism for child re-
straint installation. It is referred to as the
automatic locking mode or child restraint
mode.
When the automatic locking mechanism is
activated the seat belt cannot be ex-
tended again until the seat belt tongue is
detached from the buckle and fully re-
tracted. Once retracted, the seat belt is in
the emergency locking mode. For addi-
tional information, see “Child restraints”
later in this section.
The automatic locking mode should be
used only for child restraint installation.
During normal seat belt use by an occu-
pant, the locking mode should not be acti-
vated. If it is activated it may cause uncom-
fortable seat belt tension. It can also
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. See “Front passenger air
