Safety Belt Extension Assembly; Safety Belt Maintenance - Ford Ranger Owner's Manual

Safety Belt Extension Assembly

For some people, the safety belt may be too short even when it
is fully extended. You can add about eight inches (20 cm) to the
belt length with a safety belt extension assembly (part number
611C22). Safety belt extensions are available at no cost from
your dealer.
Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the
safety belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of
the webbing on the label. Also, use the safety belt extension
only if the safety belt is too short for you when fully extended.
Do not use extension to change the fit of the shoulder belt
across the torso.
Failure to follow these instructions will affect the
performance of the safety belts and increase the risk of
personal injury.

Safety Belt Maintenance

Check the safety belt systems periodically to make sure that
they work properly and are not damaged.
The short plastic boot on the front safety belt at the outboard
anchor location (Regular Cab, driver; SuperCab, driver and
passenger) covers an energy absorbing sew pattern on the safety
belt. In the event of an accident, the sew pattern may release,
and the colored label (REPLACE BELT) may become visible. If
this occurs, the safety belt must be replaced.
