Ford 1996 Escort Manual page 95

The retractor will switch from the emergency
locking mode to the automatic locking mode
when the shoulder belts are pulled all the way
out. The retractor will switch back to emergency
locking mode when the belts are unbuckled and
the shoulder belts retract completely.
The automatic locking mode must be used to
hold small children in position, particularly
sleeping children and those who may try to
squirm out of the belts.
Never leave a child unattended in your
vehicle.
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.
Failure to follow all of the instructions on
the use of this child restraint system can
result in your child striking the vehicle's
interior during a sudden stop or crash.
