Mercury 1996 Sable Manual page 14

Never drive or ride with a twisted or
jammed safety belt. If you cannot
untwist or unjam the safety belt, see
the nearest qualified technician
immediately.
Children should always ride with the
seatback in the fully upright
position. When the seatback is not
fully upright, there is a greater risk
that the child will slide under the
safety belt and be seriously injured
in a collision.
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.
Lock the doors of your vehicle before driving to
lessen the risk of the door coming open in a
collision.
Combination Lap and Shoulder
Belts
While your vehicle is in motion, 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
locks and helps reduce your forward movement.
