Child safety
Incorrectly fitted child restraint
may swing, tip or come away
causing death or injury.
Do not use a child restraint if the
tether strap falls into a split in the
vehicle seat back or falls off the edge of
the vehicle seat.
All child restraint systems, except
booster seats, are designed to be
installed with the vehicle seat belt system
and a top tether strap. Booster seats
only require the use of the vehicle lap-
sash belts. After installing a child restraint
system, push and pull the system
forward and back and from side to side
to verify that it is secured.
Be sure to read and follow the
instructions provided by the child
restraint manufacturer. If you have
any doubts contact the child restraint
manufacturer or consult and approved
Restraint Fitting Station. Your automobile
club or local vehicle registration authority
can provide location details of fitting
stations.
When a child restraint system is not
being used, either remove it and store
it in a safe place, or make sure it is
properly secured. An unsecured child
restraint system can be thrown around
the vehicle in a collision or sudden stop
and injure someone.
The rear seats are the safest place for
children. The side curtain air bags will
not interfere with the children restrained
using a properly installed child restraint
or booster seat, because they are
designed to inflate downward from the
headliner above the doors along the side
window openings.
Installing child restraint top
tether straps
Remove the head restraint (if fitted)
before installing the child restraint. Pull
the rear seat back forward to gain
access to the anchor fitting.
See Rear seats (page 71)
Attach the child restraint top tether strap
to the anchor fitting on the rear seat
back. Return the rear seat back to the
upright position and ensure that the seat
back engages with its outer latches.
Adjust the length of the child restraint top
tether strap to remove any slack.
After installing a child restraint system,
push and pull the system forward and
backward and from side to side to
verify that it is secured. Be sure to read
the instructions provided by the child
restraint manufacturer. If you have any
doubts contact your Ford dealer or the
child restraint manufacturer or consult an
approved Restraint Fitting Station.
