There should be a mechanism in the door jamb near-to the seatbelt. If equipped, push on it while jerking seatbelt until it retracts. If not equipped, close door firmly while jerking seatbelt to activate retract.
The safety belts are sensible to release speed (u have to release it kinda smooth).Also they are sensibile to car inclination (lean) may not release whel when rise/fall position.If locked,u may have to shake a little the belt so the locking spring/balls to unlock.Eventualy ,when driving it can release by itself.One thing is for shure:no sudden moves:it locks again (as in the impact scenario)Cheers
hello from Fordland!
your dealer is able o supply you with a seatbelt extender at no charge. this is a courtesy that ford gives to thei owners. see your local ford dealer for details..i hope this helps, your thumbs up is appreciated....BTW, the right front and all rear seat belts have a child safety feature buil into the retractors. it will cause the seatbelts to cinch tight an not release once engaged, until the seatbelt has been fully retracted therby releasing the locking mechanism...this feature is only engaged when the retractor is pulled out to is fullest limits, at that point you will hear a ratcheting noise as it retracts....
will have to take the side panel off where the belt is located make sure no twists are present. if not pull it hard and see if it retracts, if it still does not retract you may have to replace the unit. the retraction spring in the unit is broken, or the lock mechanism has failed.
YOU HAVE TO UNTANGLE IT IT MAYBE TRICKY BUT JUST IN MY OPINION GET AUSED ONE FOR 10-20 AND DONT FORGET TO UNPLUG NEG BATTERY CABLE FIRST UNLESS YOU WANT THE SRS LIGHT TO COME ON
Inertia reels get stuck permanantly if pulled out suddenly over time or after an accident. You may be able to remove it or pull lightly out with little tension and tap on it, if not you may need to replace the inertia reel.
