How To Use The Automatic Locking Mode; How To Disengage The Automatic Locking Mode - Ford 2008 Ranger 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 pulled out.
• 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, the safety belt system at all outboard
seating positions (except driver, which has no "automatic locking
retractor" feature) must be checked by an authorized dealer to verify
that the "automatic locking retractor" feature for child seats is still
functioning properly. In addition, all safety belts should be checked for
proper function.
