FORD EXPEDITION 1997 1.G Owners Manual

Cleaning and maintaining the
safety belts
Clean the safety belts with a mild
soap solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpets. Do
not bleach or dye the belts,
because these actions may weaken
the belt webbing.
Check your safety belt system
periodically to ensure that it works
properly and isn't damaged. If the
webbing shows any signs of wear,
nicks or cuts, have it inspected by
a qualified technician to determine
if replacement is necessary. Always
have your safety belt system
checked after a collision by a
qualified technician.
All safety belt assemblies,
including retractors, buckles, front
seat belt buckle support assemblies
(slide bar if equipped), child safety
seat tether bracket assemblies (if
equipped) and attaching hardware
should be inspected after any
collision. Ford 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 be inspected and
replaced if either damage or
improper operation is noted.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
(U.S. ONLY)
If you believe that your vehicle has
a defect that could cause a crash,
or could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in
addition to Ford Motor Company.
If NHTSA receives similar
complaints, it may open an
investigation, and if it finds that a
safety defect exists in a group of
vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved in
individual problems between you,
your dealer or Ford Motor
Company.
To contact NHTSA, you may either
call the Auto Safety Hotline
toll-free at 1±800±424±9393
