Combination Lap And Shoulder Belts - Ford 1996 Aspire Manual

Combination Lap and Shoulder
Belts
While your vehicle is in motion, 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/shoulder belt locks
and helps reduce your forward movement.
After you get into your vehicle, close the door
and lock it. Then adjust the seat to the position
that suits you best.
To fasten the belt, pull the combination
lap/shoulder belt from the retractor so that the
shoulder portion of the belt crosses your
shoulder and chest. Be sure the belt is not
twisted. If it is, remove the twist. Insert the belt
tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a
snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is
securely fastened to the buckle by pulling on
tongue.
Fastening the safety belt
Adjust the lap part of the belt by pulling up on
the shoulder belt until the lap belt fits snugly
and as low as possible around your hips.
