DUAL-MODE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR
Model and Year: 1983-84 S/T BLAZER AND S/T EXTENDED CAB
TO:
ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
Some customers have expressed concern about the emergency locking retractor belt system provided in the passenger seating
positions of 1982-84 S/T Trucks. The system may not allow the lap belt to be tightened around child restraints as some child restraint
manufacturers recommend.
S/T trucks built before 1985 used an emergency locking retractor (ELR) seat belt system. In an emergency, the belts lock up to hold
the seat occupant/ child restraint in place.
In 1985, a dual-mode retractor was introduced which normally has the characteristics of an ELR, but can be set to an automatic
locking retractor (ALR) mode by fully extending the belt webbing from the retractor. In the ALR mode, as the belt retracts, it cannot
be pulled out until it is fully retracted.
The dual-mode retractor is installed in the right front seat belt on 1985 Blazer and extended cabs, and in both seating positions on the
Blazer rear seat. The dual-mode retractor can be installed in 1983 and 1984 S/T Blazer and S/T extended cab vehicles.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Refer to Pages 10-25 through 10-28 of the 1985 S-10 Light Duty Truck Service Manual (ST-369-85) for the seat belt retractor
replacement procedure.
