Combination Lap And Shoulder Belts - Ford Probe Owner's Manual

Children should always ride with the
seatback in the fully upright position.
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.
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 driver or passenger
seat to the position that suits you best.
Pull the combination lap/shoulder belt from the
retractor so that the shoulder portion of the belt
crosses your shoulder and chest. Be sure the belt
is not twisted. If it is, remove the twist. Insert
the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you
hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the
tongue is securely fastened to the buckle by
pulling on tongue.
