Overview - Safety Belt System
Each safety belt is a combination lap and shoulder belt (continuous loop), 3-point system. The continuous loop uses a common slip tongue and retractor.
When replacing safety belt system parts, use only the replacement parts specified in the Ford parts catalog.
Vehicles with Rear Inflatable Safety Belts
On vehicles with rear inflatable safety belts, each rear outboard seating position has a 3-point system which consists of a lower lap belt and retractor and an upper shoulder belt and retractor. The two are joined together at the safety belt tongue and can be separated and serviced separately. The buckle tongue is unique to the inflatable safety belt system and is part of the upper shoulder belt and retractor.
