36 Safety Belts WARNING: When possible, all children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position. Failure to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury or death. WARNING: Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them. WARNING: Front and rear seat occupants, including pregnant women, should wear safety belts for optimum protection in an accident. All seating positions in this vehicle have lap and shoulder safety belts. All occupants of the vehicle should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided. The safety belt system consists of: • lap and shoulder safety belts. • shoulder safety belt with automatic locking mode, (except driver safety belt). • height adjuster at the front outboard seating positions • safety belt pretensioner at the front outboard seating positions. • safety belt warning light and chime. See Safety belt warning light and indicator chime. • crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness indicator. See Crash sensors and airbag indicator in the Supplemental Restraints System chapter. The safety belt pretensioners are designed to activate in frontal or near-frontal crashes and may deploy in rollovers if the vehicle is equipped with roll stability control. The safety belt pretensioners at the front seating positions are designed to tighten the safety belts firmly against the occupant's body when activated. This helps increase the effectiveness of the safety belts. 2014 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)
