When installing a child safety seat:
•
Review and follow the information
presented in the
Air bag
supplemental restraint system
(SRS) section in this chapter.
•
Use the correct safety belt buckle
for that seating position (the
buckle closest to the direction the
tongue is coming from).
•
Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle until you hear a
snap and feel it latch. Make sure
the tongue is securely fastened in
the buckle.
•
Keep the buckle release button
pointing up and away from the
safety seat, with the tongue
between the child seat and the
release button, to prevent accidental unbuckling.
•
Place seat back in upright position.
•
Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to Automatic
locking mode (passenger side front and all rear seating positions) (if
equipped) section in this chapter.
Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether
strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position with a tether
anchor. For more information on top tether straps, refer to
Attaching
child safety seats with tether straps. in this chapter.
Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions included
with the safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install
and use the safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden
stop or collision.
Rear-facing child seats or infant carriers should never be placed
in the front seats.
