How to disengage the automatic locking mode

Ford Motor Company recommends that all safety belt assemblies

and attaching hardware should be inspected by a qualified

technician 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.

After any vehicle collision, the seat belt system at all outboard

seating positions (except driver, which has no “automatic locking

retractor” feature) must be checked by a qualified technician to verify

that the “automatic locking retractor” feature for child seats is still

functioning properly. In addition, all seat belts should be checked for

proper function.

BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if

the seat belt assembly “automatic locking retractor” feature or

any other seat belt function is not operating properly when checked

according to the procedures in Workshop Manual.

Failure to replace the Belt and Retractor assembly could

increase the risk of injury in collisions.

Safety belt pretensioner

Your vehicle is equipped with safety belt pretensioners at the driver and

front outboard passenger seating positions.

The safety belt pretensioners are designed to activate only when the

safety belts are fastened during certain frontal or near-frontal collisions

with sufficient longitudinal deceleration. A safety belt pretensioner is a

device which tightens the webbing of the lap and shoulder belts in such

a way that they fit more snugly against the body.

The driver and front outboard passenger safety belt system (including

retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be replaced if the vehicle is

involved in a collision that results in the activation of the safety belt

pretensioners. Refer to the Safety belt maintenance section in this chapter.
