Adjustable Lap Belts Without Retractors - Ford Vehicle Owner's Manual

To tighten the lap portion of the belt, pull up on
the shoulder belt until it fits you snugly. The
belt should rest as low on your hips as possible.
Use the shoulder belt on the outside
shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder
belt under the arm. Never swing it around
the neck over the inside shoulder. Never
use a single belt for more than one
person. Failure to follow these precautions
could increase the risk and/or severity of
injury in a collision.
Due to folding rear seats, sometimes the buckles
and tongues toward the center of the vehicle
may be hidden by the rear edge of the seat
cushion. Pull them out so they will be accessible.
While you are fastened in the seat belt, 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 will become locked and help
reduce your forward movement.

Adjustable Lap Belts Without Retractors

The lap belts for center side facing (Jump seat)
do not have retractors, but do have a locking
adjustable tongue. They should be shortened and
fastened to buckle when you are not using them.
To lengthen your belt, tip the belt tongue at a
right angle to the belt and pull the belt over
your lap until the tongue reaches the buckle.
