Does the LC100 have ALR/ELR?

Hi folks,

Do the LC100's have the ALR/ELR system? Description below:

"Toyota uses an Emergency Locking Retractor/Automatic Locking Retractor Seat Belt System
commonly referred to as an (ELR/ALR) seat belt. This design permits the occupant to convert the
seat belt from an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) to an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) by
completely extending the seat belt all the way out of the retractor until an audible click from the
retractor base is heard. Once the click is heard, the seat belt locks into the desired position.
Here’s how the ELR/ALR Seat Belt System works:
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor is designed to lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact or if the vehicle is facing
upward or downward at a steep angle such as the vehicle parked in a slanted driveway etc. It may
also lock if the occupant leans forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so
that the occupant can move around fully.
Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even slightly, the belt
locks in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system
(CRS) firmly against the vehicle’s seating surfaces. Note that there is usually an audible click noise
from the retractor when the seat belt is pulled all the way out.
To free the belt from the locked position, push the button on the buckle to release the tab end of the
seat belt from the buckle and allow the belt to fully retract into the retractor mechanism so that there is
no tension on the belt (this action converts the retractor mechanism back to the ELR mode)."

Cheers,

The seat belt will lock when braking hard, at a steep angle, or pulling too fast when getting in/out. It does not tighten or pull you into the seat when braking hard. I'd love that feature though. It will do that clicky thing when you pull it out all the way and that allows you to secure a baby seat, case of beer, new car parts, plasti dip.

Yes. And so do all the other cars on the road. Been that way forever. They're just giving it a fancy name.

Well... I have a 2000 4Runner and it does not have it. So no all cars have it.

The 1999 year model has ELR/ALR on rear and passenger seats [its DOT-illegal on the drivers seat].
The Latch system was introduced in the early 2000s. Don't recall which year model and am not sure if the Latch system was delivered as well as ELR/ALR or replaced it. There are a number of threads on Latch here, so search will probably turn up that answer.
