WARNINGS
Do not install a booster seat with
only the lap strap of the seatbelt.
Do not install a booster seat with a
seatbelt that is slack or twisted.
CHECKING SEATBELT FIT
If the lap-sash seatbelt touches or crosses
the child's neck, then the child needs a
booster seat.
WARNINGS
Never wear a seatbelt across the
neck. This could result in serious neck
injury in the event of a collision.
Do not put the seatbelt under your
child's arm or behind its back.
Do not use pillows, books or towels
to boost your child's height.
Make sure that your children sit in an
upright position.

restrained.
This section provides useful
information on the installation and
safe use of child restraints. Ford
strongly recommends that you read and
understand this section before carrying
children in your vehicle.
It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that
the children are seated in suitable child
restraints prescribed by the laws of the
State or Territory in which the vehicle is
operated.
If you are in any doubt about the laws that
apply in your location, please consult your
local Authorised Ford Dealer or Local
Approved Child Restraint Fitting Station
for assistance.
WARNINGS
EXTREME HAZARD!
Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front
of it.
NEVER install any child restraint (eg.
baby capsule, child seat or booster
seat) in the front seat where a
passenger airbag is fitted, as a serious
injury or death may result from the force
of the inflating front passenger airbag.
Safety belts and seats can become
hot in a vehicle that has been closed
up in sunny weather, they could burn
a small child. Check seat covers and
buckles before you place a child anywhere
near them.
Read and follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions when
you are fitting a child restraint.
Do not alter or modify child restraints
in any way
Do not hold a child on your lap when
the vehicle is moving.
Do not leave children unattended in
your vehicle.
On hot days, the temperature inside
the vehicle can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people or animals to
these high temperatures for even a short
time can cause death or serious heat
related injuries, including brain damage.
Small children are particularly at risk.
Destroy the child restraint if it has
been in a severe crash, even if no
damage is visible.
