Safety Belts All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts. The driver safety belt has the first type of locking mode. The front outboard passenger and rear outboard seat safety belts have both types of locking modes described as follows: 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. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce forward movement of the driver and passengers. In addition, the retractor is designed to lock if the webbing is pulled out too quickly. If this occurs, let the belt retract slightly and pull webbing out again in a slow and controlled manner. Automatic Locking Mode In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt. When to Use the Automatic Locking Mode Use this mode any time a child safety seat, except a booster, is installed in passenger front or rear seating positions. You should properly restrain children 12 years old and under in a rear seating position whenever possible. See Child Safety (page 15). How to Use the Automatic Locking Mode E142591 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is pulled out. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic locking mode. How to Disengage the Automatic Locking Mode Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to retract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode. Safety Belt Extension Assembly WARNING Do not use extensions to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso. If the safety belt is too short when fully extended, you can obtain a safety belt extension assembly from an authorized dealer. 31 Super Duty (TFA)

All safety restraints in the vehicle are

combination lap and shoulder belts. The

driver safety belt has the first type of

locking mode. The front outboard

passenger and rear outboard seat safety

belts have both types of locking modes

described as follows:

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.

For example, if the driver brakes suddenly

or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle

receives an impact of approximately 5 mph

(8 km/h) or more, the combination safety

belts will lock to help reduce forward

movement of the driver and passengers.

In addition, the retractor is designed to lock

if the webbing is pulled out too quickly. If

this occurs, let the belt retract slightly and

pull webbing out again in a slow and

controlled manner.

Automatic Locking Mode

In this mode, the shoulder belt is

automatically pre-locked. The belt will still

retract to remove any slack in the shoulder

belt. The automatic locking mode is not

available on the driver safety belt.

When to Use the Automatic Locking

Mode

Use this mode any time a child safety seat,

except a booster, is installed in passenger

front or rear seating positions. You should

properly restrain children 12 years old and

under in a rear seating position whenever

possible. See

Child Safety

(page 15).

How to Use the Automatic Locking

Mode

E142591

Buckle the combination lap and

shoulder belt.

Grasp the shoulder portion and pull

downward until the entire belt is pulled

out.

Allow the belt to retract. As the belt

retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This

indicates the safety belt is now in the

automatic locking mode.

How to Disengage the Automatic

Locking Mode

Unbuckle the combination lap and

shoulder belt and allow it to retract

completely to disengage the automatic

locking mode and activate the vehicle

sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

Safety Belt Extension Assembly

WARNING

Do not use extensions to change the

fit of the shoulder belt across the

torso.

If the safety belt is too short when fully

extended, you can obtain a safety belt

extension assembly from an authorized

dealer.
