Ford Motor Company recommends that all safety belt assemblies used in vehicles involved in a collision be inspected for proper function and replaced, if necessary. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.
Page 84 To improve the fit of both the lap and shoulder belt on children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford Motor Company recommends use of a belt-positioning booster. Booster seats position a child so that safety belts fit better. They lift the child up so that the lap belt rests low across the hips and the knees bend comfortably.
Page 85 Seating and Safety Restraints • Can the child sit all the way back against the vehicle seat back with knees bent comfortably at the edge of the seat without slouching? • Does the lap belt rest low across the hips? •...
Page 86 Seating and Safety Restraints The shoulder belt should cross the chest, resting snugly on the center of the shoulder. The lap belt should rest low and snug across the hips, never up high across the stomach. If the booster seat slides on the vehicle seat, placing a rubberized mesh sold as shelf or carpet liner under the booster seat may improve this condition.
Page 87 • Place seat back in upright position. Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position with a tether anchor. For more information on top tether straps and anchors, refer to Attaching safety seats with tether straps.
Page 88 Seating and Safety Restraints Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder belts 1. Position the child safety seat in a seat with a combination lap and shoulder belt. Children under 12 are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat, to the extent this is possible.

Page 110 Driving The exhaust brake is a butterfly type valve mounted in the exhaust pipe. When the operator’s foot is not on the accelerator pedal and the exhaust brake switch is in the ON position, an air cylinder shuts the butterfly valve, restricting the flow of exhaust gases and retarding the engine.
Page 111 Driving Note: Maximum exhaust brake performance is related to the type of transmission your vehicle is equipped with. Note: Manual transmissions should be downshifted to the lowest gear possible, without exceeding the maximum RPM limit of the engine. This will maximize the exhaust brake’s retarding effect. Note: Exhaust brakes will operate effectively with automatic transmission, but performance will vary with engine speed and the gear selected by the transmission.
Page 112 Driving • Depending on the grade and vehicle load, you may or may not feel the retarding force acting against your body when the brake is applied. The brake’s retarding force is actually preventing the vehicle from going much faster. •...
