Fastening The Seatbelts - Ford Escape 2014 Owner's Manual

The seatbelt pretensioners at the front
seating positions are designed to tighten
the seatbelts when activated. In frontal
and near-frontal crashes, the seatbelt
pretensioners may be activated alone or,
if the crash is of sufficient severity, together
with the front airbags. The pretensioners
may also activate when a side curtain
airbag is deployed.

FASTENING THE SEATBELTS

WARNINGS
Insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear a distinct click. You have
not fastened the seatbelt correctly
if you do not hear a click.
Make sure that the seatbelts are
securely stored away when not in use
and are not outside your vehicle
when closing the doors.

Pull the seatbelt out steadily. It may lock
if you pull it sharply or if your vehicle is on
a slope.
The rear outer seatbelts can lock if you
return the seat backrest from a folded
position to the upright position forcefully.
Should the seatbelt lock, feed a small
length of webbing back toward the stowed
position.
Press the red button on the buckle to
release the seatbelt. Hold the tongue and
let it retract completely and smoothly to
its stowed position.
