Seat Belt Retractor: Description and Operation

SEAT BELT




AUTOMATIC RETRACTOR
When the front passenger's seat belt and all the rear seat belts are drawn out completely, their retractors are placed in the automatic locking mode which is used when installing a child restraint system. In this mode, the belt can be retracted but cannot be extended. When the belt is retracted to a certain length, this mode is cancelled and normal operation is restored.
