Seating and Safety Restraints This mode should be used any time a child safety seat is installed in the vehicle. Children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in the rear seat whenever possible. Refer to Safety restraints for children or Safety seats for children later in this chapter. How to disengage the automatic locking mode Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to retract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and return to the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode. After any vehicle collision, the combination lap and shoulder belt system at all passenger seating positions must be checked by an authorized dealer to verify that the "automatic locking retractor" feature for child seats is still functioning properly, in addition to other checks for proper safety belt system function. BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if the safety belt assembly "automatic locking retractor" feature or any other safety belt function is not operating properly. In addition, all safety belts should be checked for proper function. Failure to replace the belt and retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in collisions. Safety belt pretensioner Your vehicle is equipped with safety belt pretensioners at the driver and front outboard passenger seating positions. The safety belt pretensioner is a device which removes excess webbing from the safety belt system. The safety belt pretensioner uses the same crash sensor system as the front airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS). When the safety belt pretensioner deploys, webbing from the lap and shoulder belt is tightened. Refer to the Safety belt maintenance section in this chapter. The driver and front passenger safety belt system (including retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be replaced if the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of front airbags and safety belt pretensioners. 168 2006 Lincoln LS (dew) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

any time

a child safety seat is installed in the

vehicle. Children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in

the rear seat whenever possible. Refer to

later in this chapter.

How to disengage the automatic locking mode

Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to retract

completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and return to the

vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

After any vehicle collision, the combination lap and shoulder belt

system at all passenger seating positions must be checked by an

authorized dealer to verify that the “automatic locking retractor”

feature for child seats is still functioning properly, in addition to other

checks for proper safety belt system function.

BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if

the safety belt assembly “automatic locking retractor” feature or

any other safety belt function is not operating properly. In addition, all

safety belts should be checked for proper function. Failure to replace

the belt and retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in

collisions.

Safety belt pretensioner

Your vehicle is equipped with safety belt pretensioners at the driver and

front outboard passenger seating positions.

The safety belt pretensioner is a device which removes excess webbing

from the safety belt system. The safety belt pretensioner uses the same

crash sensor system as the front airbag supplemental restraint system

(SRS). When the safety belt pretensioner deploys, webbing from the lap

and shoulder belt is tightened. Refer to the

section in this chapter.

The driver and front passenger safety belt system (including

retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be replaced if the

vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of front

airbags and safety belt pretensioners.
