Seatbelt Height Adjustment; Safety Belt Extension Assembly - Ford 2016 F-150 Owner's Manual

E146365
The fully inflated belt's increased diameter
more effectively holds the occupant in the
appropriate seating position, and spreads
crash forces over more area of the body
than regular safety belts. This helps reduce
pressure on the chest and helps control
head and neck motion for passengers.
WARNING
If the rear inflatable safety belt has
deployed, it will not function again.
The rear inflatable safety belt system
must be replaced by an authorized dealer.
The rear inflatable safety belts are
designed to inflate in frontal or near-frontal
crashes, rollovers and some side impact
crashes. The fact that the rear inflatable
safety belt did not inflate in a crash does
not mean that something is wrong with the
system. Rather, it means the forces were
not of the type sufficient to cause
activation.

WARNINGS
Do not use extensions to change the
fit of the shoulder belt across the

inflatable safety belt.

If the safety belt is too short when fully
extended, you can obtain a safety belt
extension assembly from an authorized
dealer.
Use only extensions manufactured by the
same supplier as the safety belt.
Manufacturer identification is located at
the end of the webbing on the label or on
the retractor behind the trim. Also, use the
safety belt extension only if the safety belt
is too short for you when fully extended.
