DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Safety Belt System
WARNING: All safety belt assemblies include retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle
support assemblies (slide bar, if so equipped), shoulder belt height adjuster (if equipped), child
safety seat tether bracket assemblies (if equipped) and attaching hardware should be inspected
after any collision. Ford recommends new safety belt assemblies be installed unless a qualified
technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate correctly. Safety belt assemblies
not in use during a collision should also be inspected and new assemblies installed if either
damage or incorrect operation is noted.
WARNING: Each seating position in the vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly which
consists of one buckle and one tongue. The safety belt assembly is designed to be used as a
pair and is not to be used across seating positions.
A continuous- loop, single retractor active restraint system is used on this vehicle for both the front
seats and the rear seats.
Safety Belt, Lap/Shoulder— Dual Locking Mode
WARNING: Rear- facing infant seats should never be placed in the front seats. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
The dual locking mode retractor on the shoulder belt portion of the combination lap/shoulder safety belt
for the front seat passenger and rear seat outboard passengers operates in two ways:
1. In the vehicle- sensitive (emergency locking) mode, the shoulder belt retractor will allow the
occupant freedom of movement, locking tightly only on hard braking, hard cornering or impacts
of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more. The front and rear outboard safety belt retractors can
also be made to lock by pulling/jerking on the belt.
2. In the automatic locking mode, the shoulder belt retractor locks automatically and remains locked when the combination lap/shoulder safety belt is buckled, restricting occupant
movement. This mode provides tight lap/shoulder belt fit on the occupant and on a child safety
seat or infant carrier installation restraint.
When the combination lap/shoulder belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract completely, the retractor
switches to the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
The automatic locking mode must be used when installing a child safety seat on the front passenger
seat and rear outboard seats where dual locking retractors are provided.
Safety Belt Warning System
The safety belt warning indicator illuminates and a chime sounds to remind the occupants to fasten
their safety belts.
The conditions of operation for the safety belt warning indicator and chime are as follows:
zIf the driver safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to ON, then the safety
belt warning indicator illuminates for one to two minutes and the warning chime sounds for four
to eight seconds.

2. Position the height adjuster in the full down or up position.
3. Latch the seat belt buckle and tongue assembly.
4. Pull the shoulder belt out until the automatic locking retractor (ALR) feature is activated.
5. Release the shoulder belt and allow it to retract until it stops.
6. Pull on the shoulder belt to check that the belt has remained in the ALR mode. If the belt is not
locked, install a new safety belt and retractor assembly.
7. Unlatch the safety belt tongue from the buckle and allow the safety belt to retract to its stowed position.
8. Pull the shoulder belt to verify the retractor assembly has converted automatically out of the ALR mode. If the shoulder belt remains locked in the stowed position, install a new safety belt
and retractor assembly. Klj . 4 ba

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Safety Belt Maintenance
WARNING: All safety belt assemblies include retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle
support assemblies (slide bar, if so equipped), shoulder belt height adjuster (if equipped), child
safety seat tether bracket assemblies (if equipped) and attaching hardware should be inspected
after any collision. Ford recommends new safety belt assemblies be installed unless a qualified
technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate correctly. Safety belt assemblies
not in use during a collision should also be inspected and new assemblies installed if either
damage or incorrect operation is noted.
1. The safety belt assemblies should be periodically inspected to make sure that they have not become damaged and that they remain in correct operating condition, particularly if they have
been subjected to severe stress.
2. Before installing the new safety belt assembly, the safety belt retaining areas must be inspected for damage and distortion. If the retaining points are damaged and distorted, the sheet metal
must be reworked back to its original shape and structural integrity.
3. Install the new safety belt(s) using the appropriate instructions. Carry- out the Functional Test
Procedure. For additional information, refer to Safety Belt System in this section.
