Seatbelt Systems - Ford Ranger 2020 Mounting Manual

5.3 Seatbelt Systems

WARNING: Follow removal and
installation procedures for the seatbelt
system to ensure correct function of the
restraints system.
The removal and reinstallation of the seatbelt,
restrainer or any component of the seatbelt
system should be avoided. However if removal
and re-installation of the system is required during
the conversion, follow the removal and installation
guidelines of the seatbelt system as described in
the workshop manual. Please consult your local
National Sales Company representative for further
information.
When removing the seatbelt system, a seatbelt
webbing forked retainer should be applied to the
webbing 200mm below the webbing button stop.
This prevents a situation where all the webbing
runs back into the retractor and the retractor
becomes locked.
When reinstalling, fit the retractor to the body first
and gently pull the webbing out of the retractor to
allow fitment of the D loop. Then remove the
forked retainer. If the retractor is locked, allow a
small amount of webbing to reel back into the
retractor to allow the webbing lock to release. Do
not attempt to release the retractor by pulling on
the webbing with significant force or by manually
interfering with the locking mechanism.
