The importance of shoulder belts

Using a booster without a shoulder belt increases the risk of a child’s

head hitting a hard surface in a collision. For this reason, you should

never use a booster seat with a lap belt only. It is generally best to use a

booster seat with lap/shoulder belts in the back seat.

Move a child to a different seating location if the shoulder belt does not

stay positioned on the shoulder during use.

Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat.

WARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder

belt under a child’s arm or behind the back because it reduces

the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk

of injury or death in a collision.

Child restraint and safety belt maintenance

Inspect the vehicle safety belts and child safety seat systems periodically to

make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Inspect the vehicle

and child seat safety belts to make sure there are no nicks, tears or cuts.

Replace if necessary. All vehicle safety belt assemblies, including retractors,

buckles, front safety belt buckle assemblies, buckle support assemblies

(slide bar-if equipped), shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped),

shoulder belt guide on seatback (if equipped), child safety seat LATCH and

tether anchors, and attaching hardware, should be inspected after a

collision. Refer to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for

additional inspection and maintenance information specific to the child

restraint. Ford Motor Company recommends that all safety belt assemblies

in use in vehicles involved in a collision be replaced. However, if the

collision was minor and an authorized dealer 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 also be

inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.

For proper care of soiled safety belts, refer to Interior in the Cleaning

chapter.

WARNING: Failure to inspect and if necessary replace the safety

belt assembly or child restraint system under the above conditions

could result in severe personal injuries in the event of a collision.
