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.

When to use the automatic locking mode

In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic
locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.

This mode should be used

any time

a child safety seat, except a

booster, is installed in passenger front or rear seating positions. Children
12 years old and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating
position whenever possible. Refer to

Safety restraints for children

or

Safety seats for children

later in this chapter.

How to disengage the automatic locking mode

WARNING:

Ford Motor Company recommends that all

passenger safety belt assemblies and attaching hardware should

be inspected by an authorized dealer after any collision to verify that
the

⬙

automatic locking retractor

⬙

feature for child seats is still working

properly. Safety belt assemblies should be inspected by an authorized
dealer and must be 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.

Safety belt pretensioner

Your vehicle is equipped with safety belt pretensioners at the driver and
front outboard passenger seating positions.
