C.Two-Point System - Center Front/Rear and Rear Seat Lap Belts

Those vehicles designed to accommodate a center rear seat occupant have a center lap belt without a retractor. The belt should be adjusted by the tongue to fit snugly and as low as possible around the hips.

In passenger cars and light trucks, the rear seat two-point lap belt system for outboard passengers has the
retractor located in the quarter panel or attached to the floor under the seat (Figure 7). On Econoline, Club
Wagon, Bronco and Bronco II vehicles, the rear seat retractors are attached to the seat frame or the floor. The
buckle portions of the seat belt are all attached to the floor on passenger cars, and either to the floor or seat frame
on Broncos and Econolines. Most rear seat lap belt retractor assemblies are equipped with a sleeve to prevent
the tongue from being lost between the seat cushion and seat back. The buckle ends pass between the seat
cushion and seat back. On passenger cars, the locking together of the tongue and buckle can be made by a single
continuous movement. On Bronco and Econoline vehicles, the outboard buckle ends pass around the outside of
the rear seat (Figure 6, View B).
