Crown Victoria V8-4.6L SOHC VIN 6 (1996)
WARNING: REAR-FACING INFANT SEATS SHOULD NEVER BE PLACED IN THE FRONT SEAT.
The automatic locking mode must be used when installing a child safety seat on the front passenger seat and rear outboard seats where dual locking
retractors are provided.
To switch the retractor from the emergency locking mode to the automatic locking mode, perform the following steps:
1. Buckle the lap/shoulder combination belt.
NOTE: When the combination lap/shoulder belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract completely, the retractor will switch back to the vehicle
sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull downward until all of the belt is extracted. When allowed to retract, a clicking sound will be heard.
At this time, the belt retractor is in the automatic locking mode (child restraint mode).
3. A clicking sound will continue to be heard as the belt is allowed to retract. This indicates that the retractor is in the "automatic locking mode".
Unfastening Safety Belts with Retractors
-
Push the release button on the end of the buckle. This allows the tongue to unlatch from the buckle.
-
While the belt retracts, guide the tongue to its original position to prevent it from striking the technician or the vehicle.
