Safety Belt System: Notes

2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid, AWDSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: All safety belt assemblies (including retractors, belt tension sensors [BTS] if equipped, buckles, shoulder belt height adjusters [if so equipped], child safety seat tether attachments and attaching hardware) should be inspected after any collision. All new belt assemblies should be installed unless a qualified technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate correctly. Belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and new assemblies installed if either damage or incorrect operation is noted.
The automatic locking retractor (ALR) feature of the safety belt retractor must be checked by a qualified technician to verify that the ALR feature for a child safety seat is functioning correctly, in addition to other checks for correct safety belt system function. A new belt and retractor assembly must be installed if the safety belt assembly's "automatic locking retractor" feature or any other safety belt function is not operating correctly when inspected according to the functional inspection procedures. Failure to install a new belt and retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in collisions.

The active restraint system consists of:

  • the front safety belt retractors and tongues, which are secured to the body under the B-pillar trim panels.
  • the rear LH and RH safety belt retractors, which are secured to the body behind the quarter trim panels.
  • the rear center safety belt retractor, which is located under the package tray trim.
  • the front center safety belt is attached to the floor pan through a slot in the driver seat track.
  • the front safety belt buckle ends (LH and RH), which are secured to the driver or front passenger seat track.
  • the front center buckle end is attached to the floor pan through a slot in the passenger seat track.
  • the rear LH, RH and center buckle ends, which are secured to the rear floor pan under the rear seat.
  • the child safety seat tether anchors, which are attached to the package tray under the rear package tray trim.
  • the child safety seat LATCH system, which is located at the LH and RH rear seating positions protruding between the seat back and cushion.
