This mode should be used
any time
a child safety seat is installed in a
passenger front or outboard rear seating position. Children 12 years old
and under should be properly restrained in the rear seat whenever
possible. Refer to
Safety restraints for children
or
Safety seats for
children
later in this chapter.
How to use the automatic locking mode
•
Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
•
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 safety belt assemblies
and attaching hardware should be inspected by an authorized
dealer after any collision. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a
collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or
improper operation is noted.
Disconnect 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.
