Emergency Locking Mode
When the seat belt is fastened, it will
always be in the emergency locking mode.
In the emergency locking mode, the belt
remains comfortable on the occupant and
the retractor will lock in position during a
collision.
If the belt is locked and cannot be pulled
out, retract the belt once, and then try
pulling it out slowly. If this fails, pull the
belt strongly 1 time and loosen, then pull it
out again slowly.
