Lap Belts - Ford 1996 Taurus Manual

Lap Belts

The lap belts in the center front seating position
(if equipped) and center rear seat do not adjust
automatically. You must adjust them to fit
snugly and as low as possible around your hips.
Do not wear the lap belt around your waist.
The front center seat belt buckle and tongue are
stowed in a pocket between the seat cushion and
seatback. Remove them from the stowage pocket
before fastening.
Pull the belt across your hips and insert the
tongue into the correct buckle on your seat
until you hear a snap and feel it lock. Make sure
the buckle is securely fastened.
If you need to lengthen the belt, unfasten it and
tip the belt tongue at a right angle to the belt.
Pull the belt tongue over your lap until it
reaches the buckle.
If you need to shorten the belt, pull on the loose
end of the webbing until the belt fits snugly.
