Safety Seats for Children

*

[SR22100(ALL)01/95]

Use a safety seat that is recommended for the
size and weight of the child. Always follow the
safety seat manufacturer’s instructions when
installing and using the safety seat.

[SR22125(ALL)04/95]

Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat
having a top tether strap. Install the child safety
seat in a seating position which is capable of
providing a tether anchorage. For more
information on top tether straps see Attaching
Safety Seats With Tether Straps in this chapter.

*

[SR22150(ALL)02/95]

When installing a child safety seat, be sure to
use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating
position, and make sure the tongue is securely
fastened in the buckle.

WARNING

Your vehicle is equipped with a right
front passenger air bag.
REAR-FACING INFANT SEATS
SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN THE
FRONT SEAT, BECAUSE THE
FORCE OF THE RAPIDLY
INFLATING PASSENGER AIR BAG
COULD PUSH THE TOP OF THE
REAR-FACING SEAT AGAINST THE
VEHICLE SEATBACK, OR CENTER
CONSOLE (IF SO EQUIPPED), OR
CENTER ARMRESTS (IF SO
EQUIPPED). ALWAYS PLACE
REAR-FACING INFANT SEATS IN
THE REAR SEAT. When using
forward-facing child seats in the front
seat, always move the passenger seat
as far back from the instrument panel
as possible. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in injury to the
child.
