• Lap/Shoulder belts with a sliding latchplate – Shoulder
belt is mounted on a retractor which automatically pulls
the shoulder belt back in when released as shown in
Figure 15. Latchplate slides freely along the webbing of
the vehicle belt as shown in Figure 16.
– If this type of lap/shoulder belt is equipped with an
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR), it may be used.
– If this type of lap/shoulder belt is equipped with an ELR/
ALR Switchable Locking Retractor (SLR), it can be used.
To check if your lap/shoulder belt is equipped with an
SLR:
1. Slowly pull the shoulder belt all the way out until
it stops.
2. Allow the shoulder belt to pull back in about
6 in. (15 cm).
3. Pull out on shoulder belt again. If the belt will not
pull out again, it is equipped with a SLR
NOTE: Some vehicle belt systems may have a lap/shoulder
belt equipped with a latchplate which appears to hold the
lap portion at a fixed length when the belt is pulled tight. This
type of lap/shoulder belt is compatible. It may still have a
switchable locking retractor (SLR).
See your vehicle owner’s manual for more information on
installing a car seat using the vehicle belt.
