    							PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
    WARNINGS
    Always drive and ride with your
    seatback upright and the lap belt
    snug and low across the hips.
    To reduce the risk of injury, make
    sure children sit where they can be
    properly restrained.
    Never let a passenger hold a child on
    his or her lap while your vehicle is
    moving. The passenger cannot
    protect the child from injury in a crash. All occupants of your vehicle,
    including the driver, should always
    properly wear their safety belts, even
    when an airbag supplemental restraint
    system is provided. Failure to properly wear
    your safety belt could seriously increase
    the risk of injury or death. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
    cargo area, inside or outside of a
    vehicle. In a crash, people riding in
    these areas are more likely to be seriously
    injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride
    in any area of your vehicle that is not
    equipped with seats and safety belts. Be
    sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
    and using a safety belt properly. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
    person is significantly more likely to
    die than a person wearing a safety
    belt. Each seating position in your vehicle
    has a specific safety belt assembly
    which is made up of one buckle and
    one tongue that are designed to be used
    as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt on the
    outside shoulder only. Never wear the
    shoulder belt under the arm. 2) Never
    swing the safety belt around your neck over
    the inside shoulder. 3) Never use a single
    belt for more than one person. WARNINGS
    When possible, all children 12 years
    old and under should be properly
    restrained in a rear seating position.
    Failure to follow this could seriously
    increase the risk of injury or death. Safety belts and seats can become
    hot in a vehicle that has been closed
    up in sunny weather; they could burn
    a small child. Check seat covers and
    buckles before you place a child anywhere
    near them. Front and rear seat occupants,
    including pregnant women, should
    wear safety belts for optimum
    protection in an accident. All seating positions in your vehicle have
    lap and shoulder safety belts. All
    occupants of the vehicle should always
    properly wear their safety belts, even when
    an airbag supplemental restraint system
    is provided.
    The safety belt system consists of:
    •
    Lap and shoulder safety belts.
    • Shoulder safety belt with automatic
    locking mode, (except driver safety
    belt).
    • Height adjuster at the front outboard
    seating positions.
    • Safety belt pretensioner at the front
    outboard seating positions. •
    Safety belt warning light and chime. •
    Crash sensors and monitoring system
    with readiness indicator.

    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							The safety belt pretensioners at the front
    seating positions are designed to tighten
    the safety belts when activated. In frontal
    and near-frontal crashes, the safety belt
    pretensioners may be activated alone or,
    if the crash is of sufficient severity, together
    with the front airbags. The pretensioners
    may also activate when a side curtain
    airbag is deployed.
    FASTENING THE SAFETY
    BELTS
    Standard belts shown, inflatable belts
    similar
    The front outboard and rear safety
    restraints in the vehicle are combination
    lap and shoulder belts.
    1. Insert the belt tongue into the proper
    buckle (the buckle closest to the
    direction the tongue is coming from)
    until you hear a snap and feel it latch.
    Make sure you securely fasten the
    tongue in the buckle. 2. To unfasten, press the release button
    and remove the tongue from the
    buckle.
    Using Safety Belts During
    Pregnancy WARNING
    Always ride and drive with your
    seatback upright and the safety belt
    properly fastened. The lap portion of
    the safety belt should fit snug and be
    positioned low across the hips. The
    shoulder portion of the safety belt should
    be positioned across the chest. Pregnant
    women should also follow this practice.
    See the following figure. 30
    Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Safety BeltsE142587 E142588 E142590 
    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							Pregnant women should always wear their
    safety belt. The lap belt portion of a
    combination lap and shoulder belt should
    be positioned low across the hips below
    the belly and worn as tight as comfort will
    allow. The shoulder belt should be
    positioned to cross the middle of the
    shoulder and the center of the chest.
    Safety Belt Locking Modes
    WARNINGS
    After any vehicle crash, the safety
    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, all safety belts should be checked
    for proper 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 when checked by an
    authorized dealer. Failure to replace the
    belt and retractor assembly could increase
    the risk of injury in crashes. All safety restraints in the vehicle are
    combination lap and shoulder belts. The
    driver safety belt has the vehicle sensitive
    locking mode. The front outboard
    passenger and rear seat safety belts have
    both the vehicle sensitive locking mode
    and the automatic locking mode. Vehicle Sensitive Mode
    This is the normal retractor mode, which
    allows free shoulder belt length
    adjustment to your movements and
    locking in response to vehicle movement.
    For example, if the driver brakes suddenly
    or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle
    receives an impact of about 5 mph
    (8 km/h) or more, the combination safety
    belts will lock to help reduce forward
    movement of the driver and passengers.
    In addition, the retractor is designed to lock
    if the webbing is pulled out too quickly. If
    this occurs, let the belt retract slightly and
    pull webbing out again in a slow and
    controlled manner.
    Automatic Locking Mode
    In this mode, the shoulder belt is
    automatically pre-locked. The belt will still
    retract to remove any slack in the shoulder
    belt. The automatic locking mode is not
    available on the driver safety belt.
    When to Use the Automatic Locking
    Mode
    This mode should be used any time a child
    safety seat, except a booster, is installed
    in passenger front or rear seating positions.
    Children 12 years old and under should be
    properly restrained in a rear seating
    position whenever possible.  See 
    Child
    Safety (page 15).
    How to Use the Automatic Locking
    Mode
    Non-inflatable safety belts

    Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Safety Belts
    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							1. Buckle the combination lap and
    shoulder belt.
    2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is pulled
    out. As the belt retracts, you will hear
    a clicking sound. This indicates the
    safety belt is now in the automatic
    locking mode.
    Rear outboard inflatable safety belts
    (second row only –if equipped)1. Buckle the combination lap and
    shoulder belt.
    2. Grasp the lap portion of the belt and pull upward until the entire belt is
    pulled out.
    3. 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
    Unbuckle the combination lap and
    shoulder belt and allow it to retract
    completely to disengage the automatic
    locking mode and activate the vehicle
    sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
    Rear Inflatable Safety Belt (If
    Equipped) WARNING
    Do not attempt to service, repair, or
    modify the rear inflatable safety belt.
    The rear inflatable safety belts are fitted
    in the shoulder portion of the safety belts
    of the second-row outboard seating
    positions.
    Note:
    The rear inflatable safety belts are
    compatible with most infant and child
    safety car seats and belt positioning booster
    seats when properly installed. This is
    because they are designed to fill with a
    cooled gas at a lower pressure and at a
    slower rate than traditional airbags. After
    inflation, the shoulder portion of the safety
    belt remains cool to the touch.
    The rear inflatable safety belt consists of
    the following:
    • An inflatable bag located in the
    shoulder safety belt webbing.
    • Lap safety belt webbing with
    automatic locking mode.
    • The same warning light, electronic
    control and diagnostic unit as used for
    the front safety belts.
    • Impact sensors located in various parts
    of the vehicle.

    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							How does the rear inflatable safety belt
    system work?
    The rear inflatable safety belts will
    function like standard restraints in
    everyday usage.
    During a crash of sufficient force, the
    inflatable belt will inflate from inside the
    webbing.
    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.
    Safety Belt Extension Assembly
    WARNINGS
    Do not use extensions to change the
    fit of the shoulder belt across the
    torso.
    Do not use extensions with an
    inflatable safety belt.
    If the safety belt is too short when fully
    extended, a safety belt extension assembly
    can be obtained from an authorized dealer.
    Use only extensions manufactured by the
    same supplier as the safety belt.
    Manufacturer identification is on a label
    located either at the end of the webbing
    or on the retractor behind the trim. Also,
    use the safety belt extension only if the
    safety belt is too short for you when fully
    extended.

    							SAFETY BELT HEIGHT
    ADJUSTMENT
    WARNING
    Position the safety belt height
    adjuster so that the belt rests across
    the middle of your shoulder. Failure
    to adjust the safety belt properly could
    reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt
    and increase the risk of injury in a crash. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so
    the belt rests across the middle of your
    shoulder. To adjust the shoulder belt height:
    1. Pull the button and slide the height
    adjuster up or down.
    2. Release the button and pull down on the height adjuster to make sure it is
    locked in place.

    							SAFETY BELT MINDER
    Belt-Minder™
    This feature supplements the safety belt
    warning function by providing additional
    reminders that intermittently sound a tone
    and illuminate the safety belt warning light
    when you are in the driver seat or you have
    a front seat passenger and a safety belt is
    unbuckled.
    The system uses information from the
    front passenger sensing system to
    determine if a front seat passenger is
    present and therefore potentially in need
    of a warning. To avoid the system turning
    on the Belt-Minder feature for objects you
    place on the front passenger seat, only the
    front seat passengers receive warnings as
    determined by the front passenger sensing
    system.
    If the Belt-Minder warnings expire
    (warnings for about five minutes) for one
    passenger (driver or front passenger), the
    other passenger can still cause the
    Belt-Minder feature to turn on. Then...
    If...
    The Belt-Minder feature will not activate.
    You and the front seat passenger buckle
    your safety belts before you switch the
    ignition on or less than 1– 2 minutes elapse
    after you switch the ignition on...
    The Belt-Minder feature activates, the
    safety belt warning light illuminates and a
    warning tone sounds for 6 seconds every
    25 seconds, repeating for about 5 minutes
    or until you and the front seat passenger
    buckle your safety belts.
    You or the front seat passenger do not
    buckle your safety belts before your vehicle
    reaches at least 6 mph (9.7 km/h) and 1–
    2
    minutes elapse after you switch the ignition
    on...
    The Belt-Minder feature activates, the
    safety belt warning light illuminates and a
    warning tone sounds for 6 seconds every

    							Deactivating and Activating the
    Belt-Minder Feature
    WARNING
    While the system allows you to
    switch this feature off, the intent of
    the system is to remind you to wear
    your safety belt to improve your chance to
    survive an accident. We recommend you
    leave the system switched on for yourself
    and others who may use the vehicle. Note:
    The driver and front passenger
    warnings switch on and off independently.
    When you perform this procedure for one
    seating position, do not buckle the other
    position as this will terminate the process.
    Read Steps 1–4 thoroughly before
    proceeding with the programming
    procedure.
    Before following the procedure, make sure
    that:
    • The parking brake is set.
    • The transmission is in park (P) or
    neutral (N).
    • The ignition is off.
    • The driver and front passenger safety
    belts are unbuckled.
    1. Switch the ignition on. Do not start the
    vehicle.
    2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (about 1 minute). After Step
    2, wait an additional 5 seconds before
    proceeding with Step 3. Once you start
    Step 3, you must complete the
    procedure within 30 seconds.
    3. For the seating position you are switching off, buckle then unbuckle the
    safety belt three times at a moderate
    speed, ending in the unbuckled state.
    After Step 3, the safety belt warning
    light turns on. 4. While the safety belt warning light is
    on, buckle and then unbuckle the
    safety belt. After Step 4, the safety belt
    warning light flashes for confirmation.
    • This will switch the feature off for that
    seating position if it is currently on.
    • This will switch the feature on for that
    seating position if it is currently off.
    CHILD RESTRAINT AND
    SAFETY BELT MAINTENANCE
    Inspect the vehicle safety belts and child
    safety seat systems periodically to make
    sure they work properly and are not
    damaged. Inspect the vehicle and child
    seat safety belts to make sure there are no
    nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if necessary.
    All vehicle safety belt assemblies, including
    retractors, buckles, front safety belt buckle
    assemblies, buckle support assemblies
    (slide bar-if equipped), shoulder belt
    height adjusters (if equipped), shoulder
    belt guide on seat back (if equipped), child
    safety seat LATCH and tether anchors, and
    attaching hardware, should be inspected
    after a crash. Read the child restraint
    manufacturer's instructions for additional
    inspection and maintenance information
    specific to the child restraint.
    Ford Motor Company recommends that
    all safety belt assemblies in use in vehicles
    involved in a crash be replaced. However,
    if the crash was minor and an authorized
    dealer finds that the belts do not show
    damage and continue to operate properly,
    they do not need to be replaced. Safety
    belt assemblies not in use during a crash
    should also be inspected and replaced if
    either damage or improper operation is
    noted.
    Properly care for safety belts.  See Vehicle
    Care (page 266).

    							The Personal Safety System provides an
    improved overall level of frontal crash
    protection to front seat occupants and is
    designed to help further reduce the risk of
    airbag-related injuries. The system is able
    to analyze different occupant conditions
    and crash severity before activating the
    appropriate safety devices to help better
    protect a range of occupants in a variety
    of frontal crash situations.
    The Vehicle Personal Safety System
    consists of:
    •
    Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag
    supplemental restraints.
    • Front seat outboard safety belts with
    pretensioners, energy management
    retractors and safety belt usage
    sensors.
    • Driver seat position sensor.
    • Front passenger sensing system.
    • Passenger airbag off and on indicator
    lamp.
    • Front crash severity sensors.
    • Restraints control module with impact
    and safing sensors.
    • Restraint system warning light and
    backup tone.
    • The electrical wiring for the airbags,
    crash sensors, safety belt
    pretensioners, front safety belt usage
    sensors, driver seat position sensor,
    front passenger sensing system and
    indicator lights. How Does the Personal Safety
    System Work?
    The Personal Safety System can adapt the
    deployment strategy of the safety devices
    according to crash severity and occupant
    conditions. A collection of crash and
    occupant sensors provides information to
    the restraints control module. During a
    crash, the restraints control module may
    deploy the safety belt pretensioners, one
    or both stages of the dual-stage airbags
    based on crash severity and occupant
    conditions.
