FORD 2013 Flex v.1 - Manual (Page 46)

How Does the Rear Inflatable Safety Belt System Work?
WARNING: If the rear inflatable safety belt has deployed, it will
not function again. The rear inflatable safety belt system
must be replaced by an authorized dealer.
• The rear inflatable safety belts will function like standard restraints in
everyday usage.
• During a collision of sufficient force, the inflatable
belt will inflate from inside the webbing.
• The fully inflated belt’s increased diameter more
effectively holds the occupant in the appropriate
seating position, and spreads crash forces over more
area of the body than regular safety belts. This
helps reduce pressure on the chest and helps
control head and neck motion for passengers.
