WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: All safety belt components must be inspected and corrected as part of any collision repair. Inspect all safety belt components as prescribed by Seatbelt Procedure After a Collision . Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the safety belt system and increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
  1. Position the seat backrest fully upright (if adjustable).
  2. Position the seatbelt shoulder height adjuster (if equipped) in the full down or up position.
  3. Fasten the seatbelt.
  4. Pull out the seatbelt webbing until the ALR feature is activated.
  5. Allow the seatbelt webbing to retract until it stops.
  6. Pull on the seatbelt webbing to make sure the seatbelt retractor has remained in the ALR mode. If the seatbelt retractor is not locked, install a new seatbelt retractor.
  7. Unfasten the seatbelt and allow the seatbelt webbing to retract to its stowed position.
  8. Pull out and retract the seatbelt webbing to verify the seatbelt retractor has automatically converted out of ALR mode. If the seatbelt retractor remains locked in the ALR mode, install a new seatbelt retractor.
