Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) are installed in all passenger seat positions. the safety belt webbing on these are clearly marked to show their operating feature. The ALR feature is initiated by pulling all of the webbing from the retractor with the buckle fastened. When the webbing is then released, as it retracts the retractor locks, allowing travel in only one plane, thus producing a fixed length restraint and preventing the safety belt from introducing slack, making any child seat it may be restraining insecure. The ALR mode of the retractor is disengaged by allowing the unfastened webbing to fully retractor on to the reel.
