• Grasp the shoulder portion and

pull downward until the entire
belt is pulled out.

• Allow the belt to retract. As the

belt retracts, you will hear a
clicking sound. This indicates the
safety belt is now in the
automatic locking mode.

How to disengage the automatic locking mode

Ford Motor Company recommends that all passenger safety belt
assemblies and attaching hardware should be inspected by a

qualified technician after any collision to verify that the

Љautomatic

locking retractor

Љ feature for child seats is still working properly. Safety

belt assemblies should be inspected according to the procedures in the
Workshop Manual and replaced if either damage or improper operation
is noted. Failure to replace the belt and retractor assembly could
increase the risk of injury in a collision.

Unbuckle the combination lap/shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

Front safety belt height adjustment

Your vehicle has safety belt height
adjustments for the driver and front
outboard passenger. Adjust the
height of the shoulder belt so the
belt rests across the middle of your
shoulder.

To lower the shoulder belt height,
push the button and slide the height
adjuster down. To raise the height
of the shoulder belt, push the
button and slide the height adjuster
up. Pull down on the height adjuster
to make sure it is locked in place.
