How to disengage the automatic locking mode

Ford Motor Company recommends that all passenger safety belt
assemblies and attaching hardware should be inspected by an
authorized dealer after any collision to verify that the automatic
locking retractor feature for child seats is still working properly. Safety
belt assemblies should be inspected by an authorized dealer and must
be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Failure to
replace the belt and retractor assembly could increase the risk of
injury in a collision.
Unbuckle 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.

Front safety belt height adjustment

Adjust the height of the shoulder
belt so the belt rests across the
middle of your shoulder.
To adjust the shoulder belt height,
push the button and slide the height
adjuster up or down. Release the
button and pull down on the height
adjuster to make sure it is locked in
place.
Three door models are equipped
with a safety belt parking feature for
the driver and front passenger. The
purpose of the parking feature is to
allow the driver or passenger to
reach the safety belt. Fasten your
safety belt as normal, and the belt
will slide to the front of the steel
bar along the bottom of the door.
Pull the safety belt backwards to
park for easier access or exit from
the rear seats.
