Seating and Safety Restraints if your vehicle receives an impact of 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the safety belt will become locked and help reduce your forward movement. Energy Management Feature - Front Outboard • This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management feature at the front seats to help further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision. • This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to extend the safety belt webbing in a controlled manner. This helps reduce the belt force acting on the user's chest. Failure to inspect and replace if necessary the Belt and Retractor assembly after an accident could increase the risk of injury in a collision. All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts. All of the passenger combination lap and shoulder belts have two types of locking modes described below: Vehicle sensitive mode This is the normal retractor mode, which allows free shoulder belt length adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle movement.

Automatic locking mode How to use the automatic locking mode • Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. 143 2007 Edge (edg) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
