Safety Belt Height Adjustment - Lincoln 2014 MKZ Owner's Manual

E146365
The fully inflated belt's increased
diameter more effectively holds the
occupant in the appropriate seating
position, and spreads crash forces
over more area of the body than
regular safety belts. This helps reduce
pressure on the chest and helps
control head and neck motion for
passengers.
WARNING
If the rear inflatable safety belt
has deployed, it will not function
again. The rear inflatable safety belt
system must be replaced by an
authorized dealer.
The rear inflatable safety belts are
designed to inflate in frontal or
near-frontal crashes and some side
impact crashes. The fact that the rear
inflatable safety belt did not inflate in
a crash does not mean that
something is wrong with the system.
Rather, it means the forces were not
of the type sufficient to cause
activation.

Manufacturer identification is located

A safety belt extension is not available
for the inflatable safety belt. Also, use
the safety belt extension only if the
safety belt is too short for you when
fully extended.
