CHILD SEATS

E68916

WARNINGS

Secure children that are less

than 150 centimetres tall or less than 12 years of age in a suitable, approved child restraint, in the rear seat.

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!

Read and follow the

manufacturer’s instructions when you are fitting a child restraint.

Do not modify child restraints in

any way.

Do not hold a child on your lap

when the vehicle is moving.

Do not leave unattended

children in your vehicle.

WARNINGS

If your vehicle has been involved

in an accident, have the child restraints checked by properly trained technicians.

Note:

Mandatory use of child restraints varies from country to country.

A choice of ECE approved child restraints which have been specifically tested and approved for your vehicle are available from your Dealer.

Baby safety seat

E68918

Secure children that weigh less than 13 kilogrammes in a rearward facing baby safety seat in the rear seat.

Child safety

BOOSTER CUSHIONS

WARNINGS

Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with only the

lap strap of the seat belt.

Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with a seat

belt that is slack or twisted.

Do not put the seat belt under your child’s arm or behind its

back.

Do not use pillows, books or towels to boost your child’s

height.

Make sure that your children sit in an upright position.

Secure children that weigh more

than 15 kilogrammes but are less than 150 centimetres tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion.

Booster seat

E70710

We recommend that you use a booster seat that combines a cushion with a backrest instead of a booster cushion only. The raised seating position will allow you to position the shoulder strap of the adult seat belt over the centre of your child’s shoulder and the lap strap tightly across its hips.

Booster cushion

E68924

Child safety

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS

E75531

Your vehicle has been equipped with ISOFIX attachments. Your Ford Dealer will be pleased to make them accessible.

The ISOFIX system consists of two rigid latching arms on the child seat, which attach to anchor points at the base of the vehicle seat back. When made available by your Ford Dealer, the two lower anchor points may be found in the rear seating rows and are labelled with a circular pictogram and the word ISOFIX.

The funnel guides enable the latching arms of an ISOFIX child seat to be easily and securely attached.

ISOFIX child seats not approved by Ford have not been validated by Ford, and neither the safety nor the suitability of such seats can be certified, whether installed using the ISOFIX system or the normal seat belts.

Attaching child safety seats with top tethers

E78299

WARNINGS

Attach the tether strap only to

the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor.

Ford does not recommend the

use of an ISOFIX system without the use of an anti-rotation device, such as a top tether anchor or support leg, correctly installed.

There is a risk of death or

serious injury when the manufacturers instructions are not followed properly or when the child restraint is modified in any way.

Child safety

A third anchor point has been provided for child seats that are equipped with a top tether, available for use in the forward facing configuration.

The top tether anchors in your vehicle are located on the floor of the luggage compartment.

The tether strap should be routed beneath the raised rear head restraint, to the anchor point on the floor of the luggage compartment. The anchor point is identified by a pictogram.

After installing the child safety seat, tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Child safety

CHILD SAFETY LOCKS

E78298

WARNING

When the child safety lock is activated, the door can only be

opened from outside.

Turn the key in the rear door in the direction of the arrow to activate the lock. To deactivate the lock turn the key in opposite direction to the arrow.

Child safety

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Airbags

E78293

WARNING

Do not modify the front of the vehicle in any way as this can

adversely affect 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:

•

single-stage inflatable nylon bags (airbags) with gas generators

•

side airbags

•

curtain airbags

•

seat belt pretensioners

•

a seat belt reminder

•

crash sensors.

•

a warning lamp in the instrument panel.

•

an airbag deactivation switch

•

an airbag deactivation indicator 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 120).

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.
