short for you when fully extended.

Do not use extensions to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso.

Safety belt maintenance

Inspect the safety belt systems periodically to make sure they work properly
and are not damaged. Inspect the safety belts to make sure there are no
nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if necessary. All safety belt assemblies, including
retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle assemblies, buckle support
assemblies (slide bar-if equipped), shoulder belt height adjusters (if
equipped), shoulder belt guide on seatback (if equipped), child safety seat
tether bracket assemblies (if equipped), LATCH child seat tether anchors
and lower anchors (if equipped), and attaching hardware, should be
inspected after a collision. Ford Motor Company 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.

Failure to inspect and if necessary replace the safety belt
assembly under the above conditions could result in severe

personal injuries in the event of a collision.

Refer to Interior in the Cleaning chapter.
