Get Seatbelts Guide for Ford Mustang 2 Door Seventh Generation (2024-2026)

SEATBELT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Always drive and ride

with your seatback upright and the lap

belt snug and low across the hips.

WARNING: Children must always

be properly restrained.

WARNING: Do not allow a

passenger to hold a child on their lap

when your vehicle is moving. Failure to

follow this instruction could result in

personal injury or death in the event of a

sudden stop or crash.

WARNING: All occupants of your

vehicle, including the driver, should

always properly wear their seatbelts,

even when an airbag supplemental

restraint system is provided. Failure to

properly wear your seatbelt could

seriously increase the risk of injury or

death.

WARNING: 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

seatbelts. Make sure everyone in your

vehicle is in a seat and properly using a

seatbelt. Failure to follow this warning

could result in serious personal injury or

death.

WARNING: In a rollover crash, an

unbelted person is significantly more

likely to die than a person wearing a

seatbelt.

WARNING: Each seating position

in your vehicle has a specific seatbelt

assembly made up of one buckle and

one tongue designed to be used as a pair.

Use the shoulder belt on the outside

shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder

belt under the arm. Never use a single

seatbelt for more than one person.

WARNING: Even with advanced

restraints systems, properly restrain

children 12 and under in a rear seating

position. Failure to follow this could

seriously increase the risk of injury or

death.

WARNING: Seatbelts and seats

may be hot in a vehicle that is in the

sunshine. The hot seatbelts or seats may

burn a small child. Check seat covers and

buckles before you place a child

anywhere near them.

WARNING: The center of the rear

seat is not designed as a seating position

and does not have seatbelts. The LATCH

anchors were not designed to be used

with a child restraint in the center

position and there is no tether anchor

available at the center. Do not attempt

to use the center as a seating position

as this will increase the risk of injury or

death in the event of a crash.

WARNING: If your vehicle is

involved in a crash, have the seatbelts

and associated components inspected

as soon as possible. Failure to follow this

instruction could result in personal injury

or death.

All seating positions in this vehicle have

lap and shoulder seatbelts. All occupants

of the vehicle should properly wear their

seatbelts, even when an airbag

supplemental restraint system is provided.

Seatbelts

The seatbelt system consists of:

• Lap and shoulder seatbelts.

• Seatbelt pretensioners at the front and

rear seating positions.

• Belt tension sensor at the front

passenger seating position.

E71880

A seatbelt warning light and

chime.

E67017

Crash sensors and monitoring

system with a readiness

indicator.

The seatbelt pretensioners are designed

to tighten the seatbelts when activated. In

frontal and near-frontal crashes, the

seatbelt pretensioners may be activated

alone or, if the crash is of sufficient severity,

together with the front airbags. The

pretensioners may also activate in side

impacts and rollovers.

FASTENING AND

UNFASTENING THE

SEATBELTS

WARNING: Make sure that the

seatbelts are securely stowed away

when not in use and not outside your

vehicle when closing the doors.

WARNING: Do not use accessory

seat covers. The use of accessory seat

covers may prevent the deployment of

the airbags and the seatbelt from

retracting correctly which could increase

the risk of injuries in a crash.

A web guide is included on the outermost

side of the front seats. Depending on

occupant size and seating position, you

may need to route the belt through the

guide for a proper fit. If the seatbelt does

not route across the middle of the

shoulder, route the belt through the web

guide.

SENSITIVE LOCKING MODE

WHAT IS SENSITIVE LOCKING

MODE

Sensitive locking mode is a seatbelt

retractor feature that allows shoulder belt

length adjustment according to your

movements and locking in response to

vehicle movement.

HOW DOES SENSITIVE LOCKING

MODE WORK

If the driver suddenly brakes, turns a corner

sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact

of about 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the

seatbelts lock to help reduce forward

movement of the driver and passengers.

Mustang (CZJ) Canada/Mexico/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202407, DOM

Seatbelts

In addition, the seatbelt retractor locks if

you pull the seatbelt webbing out too

quickly. If the retractor locks, slowly lower

the height adjuster to allow the seatbelt

to retract.

If the retractor does not unlock, pull the

seatbelt out slowly then feed a small

length of webbing back toward the stowed

position.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING MODE

WHAT IS AUTOMATIC LOCKING

MODE

This is a safety feature built into the

seatbelt retractors that keeps the

seatbelts pre-locked.

WHEN TO USE AUTOMATIC

LOCKING MODE

Use this mode any time you install a child

restraint in a front outermost passenger

seating position or any rear seating

position. Properly restrain children 12 years

old and under in a rear seat whenever

possible.

Note: Automatic locking mode is not

available on the driver seatbelt.

ENGAGING AUTOMATIC LOCKING

MODE

E142591

1. Fasten the combination lap and

shoulder belt.

2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull

downward until you pull the entire belt

out.

3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt

retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.

This indicates the seatbelt is now in the

automatic locking mode.

DISENGAGING 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 locking mode.

CHECKING THE SEATBELTS

Check the seatbelts and child restraints

periodically to make sure they work

properly and are not damaged. Make sure

there are no nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if

necessary.

Check all of the following seatbelt

assemblies after a crash.

• Retractors.

• Buckles.

• Front seatbelt buckle assemblies.

• Shoulder belt guide on seat backrest.

• Child restraint anchors and top tethers.

• Attaching hardware.

Read the child restraint manufacturer's

instructions for additional inspection and

maintenance information specific to the

child restraint.

We recommend that all seatbelt

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. Seatbelt assemblies

not in use during a crash should also be

checked and replaced if either damage or

improper operation is noted.

Properly care for seatbelts. See Vehicle

Care (page 320).

SEATBELT EXTENSIONS

WARNING: Persons who fit into

the vehicle's seatbelt should not use an

extension. Unnecessary use could result

in serious personal injury in the event of

a crash.

WARNING: Only use extensions

provided free of charge by our dealers.

The dealer will provide an extension

designed specifically for this vehicle,

model year and seating position. The use

of an extension intended for another

vehicle, model year or seating position

may not offer you the full protection of

your vehicle's seatbelt restraint system.

WARNING: Never use seatbelt

extensions to install child restraints.

WARNING: Do not use extensions

to change the way the seatbelt fits

across the torso, over the lap or to make

the seatbelt buckle easier to reach.

If, because of body size or driving position,

it is not possible to properly fasten the

seatbelt over your lap and shoulder, an

extension that is compatible with the

seatbelts is available free of charge from

our dealers. Only use our seatbelt

extensions made by the original equipment

seatbelt manufacturer with our seatbelts.

Ask your authorized dealer if your extension

is compatible with your vehicle restraint

system.
