Ram 1500/2500/3500: Seat Belts In Passenger Seating Positions

The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with either a switchable Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) or with a Cinching Latchplate which is used to secure a child restraint system. For additional information, refer to "Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt" under the "Child Restraints" section. The chart below defines the type of feature for each seating position.

For Quad Cab, Mega Cab and Crew Cab Only

• N/A - Not Applicable
• ALR - Automatic Locking Retractor

For Standard Cab Only

• N/A - Not Applicable
• ALR - Automatic Locking Retactor

If the passenger seating position is equipped with an ALR and is being used for normal usage: Only pull the belt webbing out far enough to comfortably wrap around the occupant's mid-section so as to not activate the ALR. If the ALR is activated, you will hear a ratcheting sound as the belt retracts. Allow the webbing to retract completely in this case and then carefully pull out only the amount of webbing necessary to comfortably wrap around the occupant's mid-section. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a click.
