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

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.
