Ford Ranger (2022 year). Manual in english — page 2

Note:

The automatic locking mode is

available on the front passenger and rear
seats. This vehicle does not require the use
of a locking clip.

6. Allow the belt to retract to remove

slack. The belt clicks as it retracts to
indicate it is in the automatic locking
mode.

Try to pull the seatbelt out of the
retractor to make sure the retractor is
in the automatic locking mode (you
should not be able to pull more belt
out). If the retractor is not locked,
unbuckle the belt and repeat Steps 5
and 6.

E142533

8. Remove remaining slack from the belt.

Force the seat down with extra weight,
for example, by pressing down or
kneeling on the child restraint as you
pull up on the shoulder belt to force
slack from the belt. This is necessary
to remove the remaining slack that
exists once you add the extra weight
of the child to the child restraint. It also
helps to achieve the proper snugness
of the child restraint to your vehicle.
Sometimes, a slight lean toward the
buckle helps to remove remaining slack
from the belt.

9. Attach the tether strap (if the child

restraint is equipped).

E142534

10.

Before placing the child in the seat,
forcibly move the seat forward and
back to make sure the seat is securely
held in place.

To check this, grab the seat at the belt path
and attempt to move it side to side and
forward and back. There should be no
more than 1 in (2.5 cm) of movement for
proper installation.

We recommend checking with a NHTSA
Certified Child Passenger Safety
Technician to make certain the child
restraint is properly installed. In Canada,
check with Transport Canada for referral
to a Child Car Seat Clinic.

Using Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren (LATCH)

WARNING:

Do not attach two child

safety restraints to the same anchor. In
a crash, one anchor may not be strong
enough to hold two child safety restraint
attachments and may break, causing
serious injury or death.

Child Safety

WARNING:

Depending on where

you secure a child restraint, and
depending on the child restraint design,
you may block access to certain seatbelt
buckle assemblies and LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features
potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, make sure occupants only use
seating positions where they are able to
be properly restrained.

The LATCH system is composed of three
vehicle anchor points: two lower anchors
where the vehicle seat backrest and seat
cushion meet (called the seat bight) and
one top tether anchor behind that seating
position.

LATCH compatible child restraints have
two rigid or webbing mounted
attachments that connect to the two lower
anchors at the LATCH equipped seating
positions in your vehicle. This type of
attachment method eliminates the need
to use seatbelts to attach the child
restraint. However, you can still use the
seatbelt to attach the child restraint if the
lower anchors are not used.

For forward-facing child restraints, you
must also attach the top tether strap to
the proper top tether anchor if a top tether
strap has been provided with your child
restraint.

Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors for
child restraint installation at the following
seating positions.

SuperCrew

E274695

E166695

For SuperCrew vehicles, the lower LATCH
anchors are at the rear section of the rear
seat between the cushion and the seat
backrest.

SuperCab

E281347

Child Safety

E277517

For SuperCab vehicles, the lower LATCH
anchors are at the back panel behind the
rear seats.

Follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions to properly install a child
restraint with LATCH attachments.

Follow the instructions later in this chapter
on attaching child restraints with tether
straps.

Attach LATCH lower attachments of the
child restraint only to the anchors shown.

Use of Inboard Lower Anchors
from the Outermost Seating
Positions (Center Seating Use)

WARNING:

The standardized

spacing for LATCH lower anchors is 11 in
(280 mm) center to center. Do not use
LATCH lower anchors for the center
seating position unless the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions permit and
specify using anchors spaced at least as
far apart as those in this vehicle.

The lower anchors at the center of the
second row rear seat are spaced 25.7 in
(652 mm) apart. The standardized spacing
for LATCH lower anchors is 11.0 in
(280 mm) center to center. You cannot
install a child restraint with rigid LATCH
attachments at the center seating position.
LATCH compatible child restraints (with
attachments on belt webbing) can only be

used at this seating position provided that
the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions permit use with the anchor
spacing stated. Do not attach a child
restraint to any lower anchor if an adjacent
child restraint is attached to that anchor.

Each time you use the child restraint, check
that the seat is properly attached to the
lower anchors and tether anchor, if
applicable. Tug the child restraint from side
to side and forward and back where it is
secured to the vehicle. The seat should
move less than 1 in (2.5 cm) when you do
this for a proper installation.

If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured in
a crash greatly increases.

Combining Seatbelt and LATCH

Lower Anchors for Attaching Child
Restraints

When used in combination, either the
seatbelt or the LATCH lower anchors may
be attached first, provided a proper
installation is achieved. Attach the tether
strap afterward, if included with the child
restraint.

Using Tether Straps

Many forward-facing child restraints
include a tether strap which extends from
the back of the child restraint and hooks
to an anchoring point called the top tether
anchor. Tether straps are available as an
accessory for many older child restraints.
Contact the manufacturer of your child
restraint for information about ordering a
tether strap, or to obtain a longer tether
strap if the tether strap on your child
restraint does not reach the appropriate
top tether anchor in the vehicle.

The passenger seats of your vehicle may
have built-in tether strap anchors behind
the seats.

Child Safety

For SuperCrew vehicles, the tether anchors
are anchor brackets behind the seat on the
rear edge of the seat cushion.

For SuperCab vehicles, the tether anchors
in your vehicle are loops of webbing above
the seat backrest.

The rear seat in the SuperCab has two
straps along the top of the seat backrest
that function as both routing loops for the
tether straps and anchor loops.

The tether strap anchors in your vehicle
are in the following positions (shown from
top view):

SuperCrew

E274697

SuperCab

E278365

E277518

For SuperCab vehicles without rear seats,
use either of the two passenger side rear
rigid anchors on the back panel as a top
tether for the front passenger seat.

Attach the tether strap only to the
appropriate tether anchor as shown. The
tether strap may not work properly if
attached somewhere other than the
correct tether anchor.

If you install a child restraint with rigid
LATCH attachments, do not tighten the
tether strap enough to lift the child
restraint off the vehicle seat cushion when
the child is seated in it. Keep the tether
strap just snug without lifting the front of
the child restraint. Keeping the child
restraint just touching the vehicle seat
gives the best protection in a severe crash.

Once you have installed the child restraint
using either the seatbelt, the lower anchors
of the LATCH system, or both, you can
attach the top tether strap.

Front Seat Tether Strap
Attachment (SuperCab)

If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the
child restraint may not be retained properly
in the event of a crash.

If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured in
a crash greatly increases.

If your child restraint system has a tether
strap, and the child restraint manufacturer
recommends its use, we also recommend
its use.

Child Safety

Route the child restraint tether strap
over the back of the seat and under the
head restraint.

Note:

For vehicles with adjustable head

restraints, route the tether strap under the
head restraint and between the head
restraint posts, otherwise route the tether
strap over the top of the seat backrest.

2. Locate the correct anchor for the

selected seating position. Make sure
the seat is locked in the upright position
before installing the child restraint.

3. Clip the tether strap to either of the

anchors on the back panel.

4. Tighten the child restraint tether strap

according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the
child restraint may not be retained properly
in the event of a crash.

If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured in
a crash greatly increases.

If your child restraint system has a tether
strap, and the child restraint manufacturer
recommends its use, we also recommend
its use.

Rear Seat Tether Strap
Attachment (SuperCab)

E280119

There are two loops of webbing just above
the back of the rear seat (along the bottom
edge of the rear window). Use these loops
as both routing loops and anchor loops for
up to two child restraint tether straps.

For example, you can use the driver side
loop as a routing loop for a child restraint
in the driver side rear seat and as an
anchoring loop for child restraints installed
in the passenger side rear seat.

Many tether straps cannot be tightened if
the tether strap is hooked to the loop
directly behind the child restraint.

To provide a tight tether strap:

E162715

Route the vehicle tether loop between
the head restraint posts. Then route
the child restraint tether strap through
the loop, forward of the head restraint.

2. Hook the strap to the vehicle tether

anchor loop in the adjacent seating
position. Always put the tether strap
through the routing loop. The head
restraint support post holds the child
restraint tightly, but the head restraint
post is not strong enough to hold the
child restraint during a crash.

3. Tighten the tether strap according to

the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions.

If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured in
a crash greatly increases.

Child Safety

If your child restraint system has a tether
strap, and the child restraint manufacturer
recommends its use, we also recommend
its use.

BOOSTER SEATS

WARNING:

Do not put the shoulder

section of the seatbelt or allow the child
to put the shoulder section of the
seatbelt under their arm or behind their
back. Failure to follow this instruction
could reduce the effectiveness of the
seatbelt and increase the risk of injury or
death in a crash.

Use a belt-positioning booster seat for
children who have outgrown or no longer
properly fit in a child safety restraint
(generally children who are less than 57 in
(1.45 m) tall, are greater than age 4 and
less than age 12, and between 40 lb (18 kg)
and 80 lb (36 kg) and upward to 100 lb
(45 kg) if recommended by your child
restraint manufacturer). Many state and
provincial laws require that children use
approved booster seats until they reach
age eight, a height of 57 in (1.45 m) tall, or
80 lb (36 kg).

Booster seats should be used until you can
answer YES to ALL of these questions
when seated without a booster seat:

E142595

•

Can the child sit all the way back
against their vehicle seat backrest with
knees bent comfortably at the edge of
the seat cushion?

•

Can the child sit without slouching?

•

Does the lap belt rest low across the
hips?

•

Is the shoulder belt centered on the
shoulder and chest?

•

Can the child stay seated like this for
the whole trip?

Always use booster seats in conjunction
with your vehicle lap and shoulder belt.

Types of Booster Seats

E68924

•

Backless booster seats

If your backless booster seat has a
removable shield, remove the shield. If a
vehicle seating position has a low seat
backrest or no head restraint, a backless
booster seat may place your child's head
(as measured at the tops of the ears)
above the top of the seat. In this case,
move the backless booster to another
seating position with a higher seat backrest
or head restraint and lap and shoulder
belts, or consider using a high back booster
seat.

Child Safety

E70710

•

High back booster seats

If, with a backless booster seat, you cannot
find a seating position that adequately
supports your child's head, a high back
booster seat would be a better choice.

Children and booster seats vary in size and
shape. Choose a booster that keeps the
lap belt low and snug across the hips,
never up across the stomach, and lets you
adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest
and rest snugly near the center of the
shoulder. The following drawings compare
the ideal fit (center) to a shoulder belt
uncomfortably close to the neck and a
shoulder belt that could slip off the
shoulder. The drawings also show how the
lap belt should be low and snug across the
child's hips.

E142596

E142597

Child Safety

If the booster seat slides on the vehicle
seat upon which it is being used, placing a
rubberized mesh sold as shelf or carpet
liner under the booster seat may improve
this condition. Do not introduce any item
thicker than this under the booster seat.
Check with the booster seat
manufacturer's instructions.

CHILD RESTRAINT
POSITIONING

WARNING:

Do not place a

rearward facing child restraint in front of
an active airbag. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING:

Properly secure

children 12 years old and under in a rear
seating position whenever possible. If
you are unable to properly secure all
children in a rear seating position,
properly secure the largest child on the
front seat. If you must use a forward
facing child restraint on the front seat,
move the seat as far back as possible.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Always carefully follow

the instructions and warnings provided
by the manufacturer of any child
restraint to determine if the restraint
device is appropriate for your child's size,
height, weight, or age. Follow the child
restraint manufacturer's instructions and
warnings provided for installation and
use in conjunction with the instructions

and warnings provided by your vehicle
manufacturer. A safety seat that is
improperly installed or utilized, is
inappropriate for your child's height, age,
or weight or does not properly fit the
child may increase the risk of serious
injury or death.

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:

Do not use pillows,

books or towels to boost your child's
height. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Properly secure child

restraints or booster seats when they are
not in use. They could become projectiles
in a sudden stop or crash. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Do not put the shoulder

Child Safety

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

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:

Properly secure

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:

All occupants of your

All seating positions in this vehicle have
lap and shoulder seatbelts. All occupants
of the vehicle should always properly wear
their seatbelts, even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system is provided.

Seatbelts

The seatbelt system consists of:
•

Lap and shoulder seatbelts.

•

Shoulder seatbelt with automatic
locking mode, (except driver seatbelt).

•

Height adjuster at the front outermost
seating positions (if equipped).

•

Seatbelt pretensioner at the front
outermost and rear outermost seating
positions.

E71880

•

Seatbelt warning light and chime.

E67017

•

Crash sensors and monitoring system
with 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. In side
crashes and rollovers, the pretensioners
will be activated when the Safety Canopy
is activated.

FASTENING THE SEATBELTS

The front outboard and rear safety
restraints in the vehicle are combination
lap and shoulder belts.

E142587

Insert the belt tongue into the proper
buckle (the buckle closest to the
direction the tongue is coming from)
until you hear a snap and feel it latch.
Make sure that you securely fasten the
tongue in the buckle.

E142588

2. To unfasten, press the release button

and remove the tongue from the
buckle.

Using Seatbelts During Pregnancy

WARNING:

Always ride and drive

with your seatback upright and properly
fasten your seatbelt. Fit the lap portion
of the seatbelt snugly and low across
the hips. Position the shoulder portion of
the seatbelt across your chest. Pregnant
women must follow this practice. See
the following figure.

Seatbelts

E142590

Pregnant women should always wear their
seatbelt. Position the lap belt portion of a
combination lap and shoulder belt low
across the hips below the belly and worn
as tight as comfort allows. Position the
shoulder belt to cross the middle of the
shoulder and the center of the chest.

Seatbelt Locking Modes

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 safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts. The
driver seatbelt has the first type of locking
mode, and the front outboard passenger
and rear seat seatbelts have both types of
locking modes described as follows:

Vehicle Sensitive Mode

This is the normal retractor mode, which
allows free shoulder belt length
adjustment to your movements and
locking in response to vehicle movement.
For example, if the driver brakes suddenly
or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle
receives an impact of about 5 mph
(8 km/h) or more, the combination
seatbelts lock to help reduce forward
movement of the driver and passengers.

In addition, the design of the retractor is to
lock if you pull the webbing out too quickly.
If the seatbelt 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. For rear seatbelts, recline
the rear seat backrest or push the seat
backrest cushion away from the seatbelt.
Feed a small length of webbing back
toward the stowed position.

Automatic Locking Mode

In this mode, the shoulder belt
automatically pre-locks. The belt retracts
to remove any slack in the shoulder belt.
The automatic locking mode is not
available on the driver seatbelt.

When to Use the Automatic Locking
Mode

Use this mode any time you install a child
safety seat, except a booster, in passenger
front or rear seating positions. Properly
restrain children 12 years old and under in
a rear seating position whenever possible.
See

Child Safety

(page 19).

Seatbelts

How to Use the Automatic Locking
Mode

E142591

Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.

2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull

downward until you pull the entire belt
out. 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.

How to Disengage the Automatic
Locking Mode

Unbuckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the automatic
locking mode and turn on the vehicle
sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

SEATBELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT

WARNING:

Position the seatbelt

height adjuster so that the seatbelt rests
across the middle of your shoulder.
Failure to adjust the seatbelt correctly
could reduce its effectiveness and
increase the risk of injury in a crash.

E131388

To adjust the shoulder belt height:

1. Pull the locking button and slide the
height adjuster up or down.

2. Release the button and pull down on the
height adjuster to make sure it is locked in
place.

CHILD RESTRAINT AND
SEATBELT MAINTENANCE

Inspect the vehicle seatbelts and child
safety seat systems periodically to make
sure they work properly and are not
damaged. Inspect the vehicle and child
restraint seatbelts to make sure there are
no nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if
necessary. All vehicle seatbelt assemblies,
including retractors, buckles, front seatbelt
buckle assemblies, buckle support
assemblies (slide bar-if equipped),
shoulder belt height adjusters (if
equipped), shoulder belt guide on seat
backrest (if equipped), child safety seat
LATCH and tether anchors, and attaching
hardware, should be inspected after a
crash. 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
inspected and replaced if either damage
or improper operation is noted.

Properly care for seatbelts. See

Vehicle

Care

(page 283).

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.
