Lap Belts — Rear Center Seating Positions - Ford Thunderbird Owner's Manual

2. While the belt retracts, guide the tongue to
its stowed position. If you do not guide the
tongue, it may strike you or part of the
vehicle.
Lap Belts — Rear Center Seating
Positions
The lap belt in the center of the rear seat does
not adjust automatically. You must adjust it to
fit snugly and as low as possible around your
hips. Do not wear it around your waist.
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.
To unfasten the belt, push the release button on
the buckle. This allows the tongue to unlatch
from the buckle.
Because the center lap belt does not have a
retractor, it should be shortened and fastened
when not in use.
