RWARNING
Passengers should not be allowed to ride
in the cargo area. Persons not riding in a
seat with a fastened seat belt are much
more likely to suffer serious injury in a
collision. Cargo should always be secured
to prevent it from shifting and causing
damage to the vehicle or harm to
passengers.
*
[SR02500(BEF )05/95]
RWARNING
Never let a passenger hold a child on his
or her lap while the vehicle is moving.
The passenger cannot protect the child
from injury in a collision.
*
[SR02600(BEF )05/95]
RWARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury in a
collision, children should always ride with
the seatback upright.
*
[SR02800(BEF )03/95]
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.
Failure to follow these precautions could
increase the risk and/or severity of injury
in a collision.

16 [SR03110(B )04/95]To fasten a ªcinch tongue,º pull the combination
lap and shoulder belt from the retractor so that
the shoulder belt portion of the safety belt
crosses your shoulder and chest. Be sure the belt
is not twisted. If the belt is twisted, remove the
twist. (For instructions on how to remove a
twist, see theHow to Untwist or Unjam a Safety
Belt Retractorsection in this chapter.) Insert the
belt tongue into the proper buckle for your
seating position until you hear a snap and feel it
latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened
to the buckle by pulling on tongue. Adjust the
lap belt portion of the safety belt by pulling up
on the shoulder belt until the lap belt fits snugly
and as low as possible around your hips.

Combination Lap and Shoulder
Belts
*
[SR03125(BEF )05/95]
While your vehicle is in motion, the combination
lap and shoulder belt adjusts to your movement.
However, if you brake hard, corner hard or if
your truck receives an impact of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or more, the combination lap/shoulder
belt locks and helps reduce your forward
movement. The front seat belt systems can also
be made to lock by jerking on the shoulder belt.
*
[SR03130(BEF )05/95]
NOTE: The rear belts cannot be made to lock
up by jerking on shoulder belt.
*
[SR03135(BEF )05/95]
After you get into your vehicle, close the door
and lock it. Then adjust the seat to the position
that suits you best.
[SR03137(BEF )05/95]
To fasten the belt
*
[SR03140(BEF )05/95]
Pull the combination lap/shoulder belt from the
retractor so that the shoulder portion of the belt
crosses your shoulder and chest. Be sure the belt
is not twisted. If it is, remove the twist. Insert
the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you

While you are fastened in the seat belt, 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 and
shoulder belt will become locked and help
reduce your forward movement.

three-passenger bench seats you will find a
lap-belt without a retractor, but does have a
locking adjustable tongue. Shorten this belt and
fasten it to buckle when you are not using it. To
lengthen the belt, tip the tongue at a right angle
to the belt and pull the belt over your lap until
the tongue reaches the buckle.

How to Untwist or Unjam a Safety Belt
Retractor
*
[SR08900(BEF )03/95]
If you should jam the lap belt retractor by
allowing the belt to retract when it is twisted,
you can free the webbing with this procedure:
*
[SR09000(BEF )03/95]
1. Pull on the belt with both hands to tighten it
on the retractor spool.
*
[SR09100(BEF )03/95]
2. Feed the belt back into the retractor until it
is completely retracted. Repeat previous step
if necessary.
[SR09200(BEF )02/95]
3. Pull the belt out of the retractor as far as it
will go and untwist the belt or remove the
object that is jamming the belt. Let the belt
retract.
*
[SR09300(BEF )03/95]
4. Then, pull the belt out and let it retract
several times to make sure that the belt
works properly.

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.
*
[SR14800(BEF )05/95]
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.
*
[SR15000(BEF )05/95]
RWARNING
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.
*
[SR15025(BEF )05/95]

Safety Seats for Children
*
[SR16000(BEF )05/95]

size and weight of the child. Always follow the
safety seat manufacturer's instructions when
installing and using the safety seat.
*
[SR16015(BEF )02/95]
Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat

seat in a seating position which is capable of
providing a tether anchorage. For more
information on top tether straps seeAttaching

[SR16025(BEF )05/95]
When installing a child safety seat, be sure to
use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating
position making sure the tongue is securely
fastened in the buckle and for a shoulder/lap
belt combination with a sliding tongue make
sure the retractor is in the ªautomatic locking
mode.º
*

secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or by the
lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt.
*
