Seatbelts

WARNING   WARNING:  Make sure that the seatbelts are securely stowed away when not in use and not outside your vehicle when closing the doors.
WARNING   WARNING:  Accessory seat covers not released by Ford could prevent the seatbelt from retracting correctly. This could cause the seatbelt to become slack which could increase the risk of injuries in a crash.


Fastening Front Seat Belts

  1. Pull the seatbelt out steadily.

Note:   It may lock if you pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.

  1. Insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear a distinct click.

 Press the red button on the buckle to release the seatbelt. Hold the seatbelt tongue and let it retract completely and smoothly to its stowed position.

Using Seatbelts During Pregnancy

WARNING   WARNING:  Position the seatbelt correctly for your safety and that of your unborn child. Do not use only the lap strap or the shoulder strap.
