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 outboard rear seating

positions) (if equipped) section in this chapter.

•

LATCH lower anchors are recommended for use by children up to 22 kg

(48 pounds) in a child restraint. Top tether anchors can be used for

children up to 27 kg (60 pounds) in a child restraint, and to provide

upper torso restraint for children up to 36 kg (80 pounds) using an

upper torso harness and a belt-positioning booster.

Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether

strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position with LATCH and

tether anchors. For more information on top tether straps and anchors,

refer to Attaching safety seats with tether straps in this chapter. For

more information of LATCH anchors refer to Attaching safety seats with

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) attachments 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.
