The Proper Position Of The Front Lap Safety Belt; To Operate The Motorized Shoulder Belt - Ford 1996 Escort Manual

The proper position of the front lap safety belt

The lap belts should fit snugly and as low
as possible around the hips, not around
the waist.

To operate the motorized shoulder belt:

1. Get into your vehicle and close the door.
Check to be sure the shoulder belt is latched
to the emergency release buckle.
2. If it is not latched, pull the shoulder belt
from the retractor and buckle it to the
emergency release buckle. Note the twist in
the shoulder belt as in Figures 1 and 2.
3. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
A motor causes the shoulder belt to slide along
its track from the A-pillar to the B-pillar until it
locks in place.
