File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR02200(ALL)06/95] RWARNING Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm. Never swing it around the neck over the inside shoulder. Never use a single belt for more than one person or across more than one seating position. Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that are designed to be used as a pair.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR03400(ALL)05/95] Combination Lap and Shoulder Belts *[SR03500(ALL)06/95] While your vehicle is in motion, the combination lap and shoulder belt adjusts to your movement. However, if you brake hard, turn hard, or if your vehicle receives an impact of 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the lap/shoulder belt locks and helps reduce your forward movement. *[SR03600(ALL)05/95] After you get into your vehicle, close the door and lock it.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR03860(ALL)06/95] NOTE: Be sure to read and understand Important Safety Belt Information at the beginning of this chapter. [SR05300(ALL)07/95] one third page art:0032252-B Unfastening the combination lap/shoulder belts — front and rear outboard seating positions *[SR05400(ALL)05/95] While the belt retracts, guide the tongue to its original position to prevent it from striking you or the vehicle.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR09370(ALL)05/95] *[SR09380(ALL)07/95] Automatic locking mode *[SR09390(ALL)07/95] *[SR09400(ALL)07/95] *[SR09410(ALL)07/95] ❑ A tight lap/shoulder belt on the occupant. ❑ Child safety seat installation. In this operating mode, the shoulder belt retractor will be automatically locked and will remain locked when the combination lap/shoulder safety belt is buckled, and does not allow the occupant freedom of movement.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR09470(ALL)07/95] NOTE: When the combination lap/shoulder belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract completely, the retractor will switch to the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode. See the detailed instructions under Safety Seats for Children in this chapter. [SR09475(ALL)07/95] *[SR09478(ALL)07/95] * Safety Belt Extension Assembly % For some people, the safety belt may be too short even when it is fully extended.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR09500(ALL)06/95] *[SR09525(ALL)06/95] Cleaning the Safety Belts *[SR11700(ALL)06/95] Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) *[SR11960(ALL)05/95] The driver and right front passenger air bags are Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS), provided at these seating positions in addition to the lap/shoulder belt, and are designed to supplement the protection provided to properly belted occupants in moderate to severe frontal collisions.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR12200(ALL)01/95] There are four very important reasons to use safety belts even with an air bag system.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR12890(ALL)07/95] In rear-facing infant seats, the infant’s head is closer to the air bag. The force of the rapidly inflating air bag could push the top of the rear-facing seat against the vehicle seatback or center armrests (if so equipped), or center console (if so equipped). REAR-FACING INFANT CARRIERS MUST ALWAYS BE SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT, and other child safety seats and infant seats should be secured in the rear seat whenever possible.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR13000(ALL)07/95] RWARNING Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag cover on the steering wheel or in front seat areas that may come in contact with a deploying air bag. Failure to follow this instruction may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR13300(ALL)07/95] The driver air bag is in the center of the steering wheel. The front passenger seat air bag is located in the center section of the instrument panel ledge above the glove compartment. Both air bags are designed to stay out of sight until they are activated.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 some frontal collisions at speeds above 28 mph (45 km/h) will not inflate the air bag. *[SR13320(ALL)07/95] When the sensors activate the system, the air bags inflate rapidly, filling with non-toxic nitrogen gas in a fraction of a second. Immediately after inflation, the air bags deflate by releasing the nitrogen gas through vent holes. The whole process takes place in a matter of seconds.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 [SR13350(ALL)07/95] half page art:0032251-A Inflated passenger air bag *[SR13360(ALL)07/95] RWARNING If the air bag is inflated, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT FUNCTION AGAIN AND MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. If the air bag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR13500(ALL)05/95] The air bag system uses a readiness light on the instrument cluster and a tone to indicate the condition of the system. When you turn the ignition key to the ON position, this light will illuminate for approximately six (6) seconds and then turn off. This indicates that the system is operating normally. NOTE: Maintenance of the air bag system is not required.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 [SR15425(ALL)05/95] Safety Restraints for Children *[SR15450(ALL)02/95] In the U.S. and Canada, you are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle — this generally includes children who are four years old or younger and who weigh 40 pounds (18 kg) or less — you must put them in safety seats that are made specially for children. Safety belts alone do not provide maximum protection for these children.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR15500(ALL)06/95] When possible, put children in the rear seat of your vehicle. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions. *[SR15600(ALL)07/95] RWARNING Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions included with the safety seat you put in your vehicle.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR16640(ALL)06/95] When installing a child safety seat, be sure to use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position, and make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle. *[SR16649(ALL)07/95] Your vehicle is equipped with a right front passenger air bag. Air bags deploy with great force, faster than the blink of an eye.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR16700(ALL)06/95] RWARNING If you do not properly secure the safety seat, the child occupying the seat may be injured during a collision or sudden stop. An unsecured safety seat could also injure other passengers. *[SR16800(ALL)07/95] RWARNING Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions included with the safety seat you put in your vehicle.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 [SR16960(ALL)05/94] half page art:0032255-B Safety belt buckle placement for child seats [SR16980(ALL)05/95] Using the Dual Locking Mode Retractor When Installing a Child Safety Seat *[SR17000(ALL)05/95] Your vehicle is equipped with a dual locking mode retractor on the shoulder belt portoin of the front passenger seat and both rear seats.
File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR17020(ALL)07/95] RWARNING Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions included with the safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or collision. *[SR17025(ALL)06/95] If you choose to install a child safety seat in the front seat, move the seat as far back as possible. *[SR17050(ALL)05/95] 1.

File:03icsrf.ex Update:Wed Jan 24 14:30:01 1996 *[SR24150(ALL)07/95] To improve the fit of lap and shoulder belts on children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford recommends use of a belt-positioning booster seat that is labelled as conforming to all Federal motor vehicle safety standards. Belt-positioning booster seats raise the child and provide a shorter, firmer seating cushion that encourages safer seating posture and better fit of lap and shoulder belts on the child.
