CHILD SEATS

E72336

WARNINGS

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a child restraint on a seat

protected by an airbag in front of it!

Original text according to ECE

R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it!

There is a risk of death or

serious injury when the airbag deploys.

Always have the rear row head

restraint raised when a child restraint is being installed or occupying the seat, provided doing so does not move the child restraint away from the vehicle seat.

Note: If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, have the child safety seat checked by an expert as it might be damaged.

Note: Do not leave children unattended in the child safety seat or in the vehicle.

Note: When installing a child seat/restraint with the seat belt, always ensure belts fit without slack or twists.

WARNING

There is a risk of death or

serious injury when the manufacturer’s instructions are not followed properly or when the child seat/restraint is modified in any way.

Whenever installing a child seat/restraint, always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING

Do not hold a child on your lap

while the vehicle is moving.

Children of height 150 cm or under or aged 12 years or under should be secured in special restraints for children, such as baby seats, child safety seats or booster cushions in the rear seats.

Child safety

Such equipment must be suitable and government approved (depending on country).

A choice of ECE approved child restraints is available at your Ford Dealer. Please ask for the recommended child seats. Together with the adult seat belt, these restraints help to provide maximum security for the children.

Child restraints for different mass groups

The correct restraint to be used depends on the child’s age and weight:

Baby safety seat

E72337

Babies under 13 kg (approximately 18 months) are best protected if properly restrained in rearward facing baby safety seats (Group 0+) on the rear seat.

Child safety seat

E72338

Children weighing between 13 and 18 kg (approximately nine months to four years old) should be carried properly restrained in child safety

seats (Group I) in the rear seat.

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS

If your Ford vehicle is equipped

with a front passenger airbag, children of height 150 cm or under or aged 12 years and under must only be properly restrained in the rear seat – never in the front.

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!

Child safety

Note: If individual circumstances require that a child weighing more than 9 kg must travel in a front seat protected by an operational front airbag, only use a forward facing restraint.

The following table advises on the suitability of child restraint fitment locations.

BOOSTER CUSHIONS

E72362

Booster seatA Booster cushionB

WARNINGS

You should never use a booster seat with only a lap belt.

Never put the shoulder belt under a child’s arm or behind

the back.

Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child.

Children weighing more than 15 kg and under 150 cm should use a booster seat or booster cushion. Ford recommends using booster seats that combine a booster cushion and a back rest into one seat for children between 15 and 25 kg. The raised seating position ensures that the adult seat belt can be correctly guided over the centre of the shoulder instead of along the neck, the lap belt lying tightly across the hips instead of the stomach. Make sure that your child sits in an upright position.

Integrated booster cushion

Note: Do not use the raised booster

cushion together with a child safety seat.

The booster cushion should be used for children from approximately 6 to 12 years, with a height of up to 150 cm and weighing between 22 and 36 kg.

Child safety

E72363

Pull the unlocking lever. Push the cushion to the back of the seat.

E72364

Push down on it until you feel the locking mechanism engage.

E72365

The raised seating position makes it possible to position the seat belt correctly: The shoulder strap should cross the centre of the shoulder; the lap strap should fit tightly across the hips, not the stomach.

E72366

Child safety

Note: Before returning the booster cushion to its original position, make sure there are no objects hidden under it.

Proceed in reverse order. Make sure that the locking mechanism engages properly.

Vario child safety seat

E72367

The Vario child safety seat should be used for children from three and a half years up to seven years and weighing between 15 and 25 kg. It must be secured with an inertia reel three-point seat belt. The child safety seat may be used in any seating position in the rear seats including the centre.

E72368

Note: Refer also to the instructions provided with the child safety seat.

Once the child is seated on the vehicle seat, put the Vario child safety seat in front of the child. Secure it as follows with an inertia reel three-point belt:

1. Insert the tongue into the buckle

until a distinct click is heard.

2. Place the lap strap in the mould

provided and tighten it.

3. Place the shoulder strap over the

lap strap and tighten.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Airbags

E72324

WARNING

Do not modify the front of the

vehicle in any way, as this can adversely affect the airbag deployment.

Note: A loud bang will be heard when an airbag deploys and it is normal to see a cloud of harmless powdery residue.

The airbag system comprises the following:

• dual-stage inflatable nylon bags

(airbags) with gas generators.

• side airbags

• curtain airbags

• seat belt pretensioners

• occupant sensors

• crash sensors.

• a warning lamp in the instrument

panel.

• an electronic control and diagnostic unit.

E72330

Occupant protection

WARNINGS

Repairs to either of the front

seat covers, the sensors attached to the seats as well as to the roof lining should only be carried out by properly trained technicians. Injuries may result if the side airbags are triggered inadvertently.

Do not block, obstruct or cover

the airbag because it may prevent proper deployment. Do not poke any sharp objects into the areas where airbags are fitted. This could damage the airbags.

Do not use any accessory seat

covers that are not specifically designed for seats with side airbags. These seat covers must be fitted by properly trained technicians.

E66553

WARNING

Always wear the seat belt and

keep sufficient distance between the driver and the steering wheel. Only when the seat belt is used properly, can it hold the body in a position which allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. There is a risk of injury when the airbag deploys.

The seat and back must be set correctly for the airbags to be optimally effective. See Sitting in the correct position (page 90).

This is the ideal seating position for the driver and front passenger and helps reduce the risk of injury from sitting too close to an inflating airbag.

E72325

The front airbags activate during significant collisions which are either frontal or up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbags inflate within a few thousandths of a second. They will deflate on contact with the front occupants thus cushioning forward body movement.

Occupant protection

E72326

During minor collisions as well as overturns and rear or side collisions, the front airbag system will not be activated.

E72327

WARNINGS

Repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column and airbag system should be carried out by properly trained technicians.

Always keep the areas in front

of the airbags free. Never affix anything to or over these areas.

These areas should only be wiped with a damp cloth, never with a wet cloth.

Dual-stage strategy

A system of sensors in the vehicle monitors vehicle speed, the status of the seat belt and the position of the driver’s seat. In case of an accident, the system is able to analyze different crash and occupant conditions and activate the appropriate safety devices.

In most airbag deployments, the first stage is deployed to provide occupant restraint. The second stage is deployed afterwards. In the most severe crash events both stages are deployed to provide occupant restraint.

The system increases the safety potential particularly for drivers who are not of a standard height or not in a standard seating position.

Side air bags

E72328

Occupant protection

A label on the seatback indicates that side airbags are fitted. The side airbags are fitted on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats. In case of a severe lateral collision, the airbag on the side affected by the collision will be inflated.

The airbag will inflate between the door panel and occupant. Once the occupant’s body contacts the airbag, the propellant escapes, thereby cushioning the impact.

The side airbags are not activated upon minor lateral collisions nor upon front or rear impacts.

Curtain air bags

E72329

Moulded writing on the door pillars over the seat belts indicates that curtain airbags are fitted. The curtain airbags are fitted over the front and rear side windows inside the roof lining. In case of a severe lateral collision, the air bag on the side affected by the collision will be inflated.

The curtain air bags are not activated upon minor lateral collisions nor upon front or rear impacts.

Seat belts

WARNINGS

Use seat belts at all times.

Never use a seat belt for more than one person.

Avoid wearing thick clothing.

The seat belts should fit tightly around the body.

Seat belt pretensioner

E72333

WARNING

The belt pretensioners must not

be removed. If the pretensioners deployed during an accident, they must be replaced. Have the pretensioners serviced and disposed of by specially trained personnel only.
