Combination Lap And Shoulder Belts - Ford 1996 Windstar Manual

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap
while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot
protect the child from injury in a collision.
Never use a single belt for more than one person or
across more than one seating position. This greatly
increases the risk that one or both of the people will be
injured in a collision. Each seating position in your
vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly which is made
up of one buckle and one tongue that are designed to be
used as a pair.
Lock the doors of your vehicle before driving to lessen the risk
of the door coming open in a collision.

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.
