How To Use The Automatic Locking Mode; How To Disengage The Automatic Locking Mode - Ford 2002 Explorer Owner's Manual

How to use the automatic locking mode

• Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
• Grasp the shoulder portion and
pull downward until the entire
belt is extracted.
• Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic locking
mode.

How to disengage the automatic locking mode

Disconnect the combination lap/shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
After any vehicle collision, all passenger seat belt systems must
be checked by a qualified technician to verify that the
"automatic locking retractor" feature for child seats is still functioning
properly. In addition, all seat belts should be checked for proper
function.
