NOTE:
Be sure to read and understand
Important Safety Belt Information
in
this chapter.
Unfastening the combination lap and shoulder belt — front

While the belt retracts, guide the tongue to its
original position to prevent it from striking you
or the vehicle.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Retractors
(Dual Locking Modes)
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual locking
mode retractor on the shoulder belt portion of
the combination lap/shoulder safety belt for
passengers.
Dual locking mode retractors operate in two
ways:
Vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode
In this operating mode, the shoulder belt
retractor will allow the occupant freedom of
movement, locking tight only on hard braking,
hard cornering or impacts of approximately
5 mph (8 km/h) or more. The retractor can also
be made to lock by pulling the belt out quickly.
Automatic locking mode
In this operating mode, the shoulder belt
retractor will be automatically locked and will
remain locked when the combination
lap/shoulder safety belt is buckled, and does not
allow the occupant freedom of movement. This
mode provides the following:
❑
A tight lap/shoulder belt on the occupant.
❑
Child safety seat installation.

WARNING
Rear-facing child seats or infant carriers
should never be placed in the front seats.
103
This mode
must be used
when installing a child
seat. To switch the retractor from the emergency
locking mode to the automatic locking mode,
perform the following steps:
1.
Buckle the lap/shoulder combination belt.
2.
Pull on the belt until all of the stored belt is
out of the retractor and a click is heard.
3.
A clicking sound will continue to be heard
as the belt is allowed to retract. This
indicates that the retractor is in the
automatic locking mode.
NOTE:
When the combination lap/shoulder
belt is unbuckled and allowed to
retract completely, the retractor will
switch to the vehicle sensitive
(emergency) locking mode. See the
detailed instructions under
Safety Seats
for Children
in this chapter.
Safety Belt Extension Assembly
A safety belt that is too short even when fully
extended can be lengthened. You can add about
eight inches (20 cm) to the belt length with a
safety belt extension assembly. Safety belt
extensions are available at no cost from your
dealer.
Use only extensions manufactured by the same
supplier as the safety belt. Manufacturer
identification is located at the end of the
webbing on the label. Also, use the safety belt
extension only if the safety belt is too short for
you when fully extended. Do not use extension
to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the
torso.

WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions will
affect the performance of the safety belts
and increase the risk of personal injury.
Safety Belt Maintenance
Check the safety belt systems periodically to
make sure that they work properly and are not
damaged.
All safety belt assemblies, including retractors,
buckles, front seat belt buckle support assemblies
(slide bar) (if equipped), shoulder belt height
adjusters (if equipped), child safety seat tether
bracket assemblies (if equipped), and attaching
hardware, should be inspected after any
collision. Ford recommends that all safety belt
assemblies used in vehicles involved in a
collision be replaced. However, if the collision
was minor and a qualified technician finds that
the belts do not show damage and continue to
operate properly, they do not need to be
replaced. Safety belt assemblies not in use
during a collision should also be inspected and
replaced if either damage or improper operation
is noted.
Air Bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS)
Important Air Bag Precautions
Your vehicle is equipped with a supplemental
restraint system designed to work with the
safety belts to help protect you and your right
front seat passenger in the event of a collision.
The Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System is
primarily designed to reduce certain upper body
injuries.
