Navigator 2WD V8-5.4L DOHC VIN R (2001)
Seat Belt: Description and Operation
NOTE: When replacing an Automatic Locking Retraction (ALR) equipped retractor, only the outboard retractors should be checked to make sure they
are not in the ALR mode after installation.
All outboard continuous-loop, three-point retractor systems, except the driver position; are equipped with the ALR system. This system is used when
installing a child safety seat in an outboard seating position or when a tight lap/shoulder belt is desired by the occupant. The ALR system is automatically
engaged when the webbing is fully extracted from the retractor. As the webbing is retracted back onto the spool, an audible clicking sound is made
indicating the retractor is in the ALR mode. The ALR mode is automatically disengaged when most of the webbing is retracted back onto the spool. The
ALR mode is disengaged when the audible clicking sound ceases and the webbing is free to move in or out of the retractor indicating a normal mode of
operation.
The automatic locking mode must be used when installing a child safety seat in the front passenger and rear outboard passenger seating positions where
dual locking mode retractors are provided.
The second row 60% portion of the 40/60 split bench seat center passenger retractor is equipped with ALR only.
