2019 LINCOLN MKT height

During a crash of sufficient force, theinflatable belt inflates from inside thewebbing.
The fully inflated belt's increased diametermore effectively holds the occupant in theappropriate seating position, and spreadscrash forces over more area of the body thanregular seatbelts. This helps reduce pressureon the chest and helps control head andneck motion for passengers.
The rear inflatable seatbelts are designed toinflate in frontal or near-frontal crashes, someside impact crashes and rollovers. The factthat the rear inflatable seatbelt did not inflatein a crash does not mean that something iswrong with the system. Rather, it means theforces were not of the type sufficient tocause activation.
Stowing the Rear Inflatable Seatbelt
The rear inflatable seatbelt has a snapretainer for stowing the seatbelt against thequarter trim panel when it is not in use. Thisprevents the seatbelt tongue from rattlingagainst the side of the seat and keeps it outof the way when folding or tumbling thesecond row seats.
Press the retainer on the seatbelt onto themating snap to stow. To use the seatbelt,pull it away from the quarter trim panel.
SEATBELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Position the safety beltheight adjuster so that the belt rests acrossthe middle of your shoulder. Failure toadjust the safety belt properly couldreduce the effectiveness of the safety beltand increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Weight-Distributing Hitch
WARNING: Do not adjust the springbars so that your vehicle's rear bumper ishigher than before attaching the trailer.Doing so will defeat the function of theweight-distributing hitch, which may causeunpredictable handling, and could resultin serious personal injury.
When hooking-up a trailer using aweight-distributing hitch, always use thefollowing procedure:
1. Park your vehicle, without the trailer, ona level surface.
2. Measure the height of the top of yourvehicle’s front wheel opening on thefender. This is H1.
3.Attach the trailer to your vehicle withoutthe weight-distributing bars connected.
4. Measure the height of the top of yourvehicle’s front wheel opening on thefender a second time. This is H2.
5. Install and adjust the tension in theweight distributing bars so that the heightof the front fender is approximatelyhalfway between H1 and H2.
6.Check that the trailer is level. If not level,adjust the ball height accordingly andrepeat Steps 3–6.
Safety Chains
Note:Never attach safety chains to thebumper.
Always connect the safety chains to the hookretainers of your vehicle hitch.
To connect the safety chains, cross themunder the trailer tongue and allow enoughslack for turning tight corners. Do not allowthe chains to drag on the ground.
