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.
WARNINGS
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.
10
Child safety
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.
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.
11
Child safety
WARNINGS
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!
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.
14
Child safety
ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS
Tourneo Connect
WARNINGS
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.
Your vehicle has been equipped with
ISOFIX anchor points. Your Ford
Dealer will be pleased to make them
accessible.
E75769
The ISOFIX system consists of two
rigid latching arms on the child seat
which attach to anchor points at the
bottom of the seat. When made
available by your Ford Dealer, the two
lower anchor points may be found
on the second row centre seat and
are labelled with a circular pictogram
and the text ‘ISOFIX’. The 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 suitability nor
the safety of such seats can be
certified, whether installed using the
ISOFIX system or the normal seat
belts.
Attaching a child seat with top
tethers
WARNING
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 location.
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. This additional anchor
will enable the use of a top tether
strap. Contact your Ford Dealer to
have this anchor installed.
15
Child safety
E75770
On vehicles with five seats, the
anchor is located at the top of the
rear door opening.
E75771
On vehicles with eight seats, it is
located on the rear of the second
row centre seat.
E75772
The anchor point is identified by a
pictogram. The tether strap should
be routed beneath the raised head
restraint to the anchor point. Remove
the anchor point cover and attach
the strap. After installing the child
safety seat, tighten the tether strap
according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
16
Child safety
CHILD SAFETY LOCKS
Tourneo Connect
E75766
WARNING
When the child safety lock is
activated, the door can only be
opened from outside.
Note:
Child safety locks are only
fitted to sliding doors.
Using the ignition key, turn the safety
lock lever on the end of the door
outwards. The door cannot be
opened from inside the vehicle.
To deactivate the lock, turn the safety
lock lever inwards.
17
Child safety
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Airbags
E75574
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:
•
driver and front passenger
inflatable nylon bags (airbags) with
gas generators.
•
side airbags
•
curtain airbags
•
a seat belt pretensioner
•
crash sensors.
•
a warning lamp in the instrument
cluster.
•
an electronic control and
diagnostic unit.
E72330
18
Occupant protection
WARNINGS
Repairs to either of the front
seat covers or the sensors
attached to the seats 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 74).
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.
E75575
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.
19
Occupant protection
E75576
During minor collisions as well as
overturns and rear or side collisions,
the front airbag system will not be
activated.
E75577
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.
Side air bags
E72328
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.
20
Occupant protection
E75578
The airbag will inflate between the
door panel and occupant and above
the door panel trim to provide
protection to the head and rib areas.
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.
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.
The restraint system, with belt
pretensioner in the driver’s seat belt,
helps to reduce the risk of serious
injury in a major frontal impact. During
a serious crash the driver’s seat belt
is pretensioned to help reduce slack
in the belt. The safety belt
pretensioner is a device which
removes excess webbing from the
safety belt system. When the safety
belt pretensioner deploys, webbing
from the lap and shoulder belt is
tightened.
The belt pretensioner is not triggered
in any side, rear or minor frontal
collisions.
21
Occupant protection
FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS
E66541
WARNING
Insert the tongue into the buckle
until a distinct click is heard,
otherwise the seat belt will not be
locked correctly.
Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock
if pulled sharply or if the vehicle is on
a slope.
To release the belt, press the red
button on the buckle and let the belt
rewind completely and smoothly.
Rear seat belts
E75564
WARNING
In order to ensure that the
centre belt works properly, the
rear seatback must be correctly
engaged.
Make sure that each seat belt uses
the correct buckle.
22
Occupant protection
SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Front seat belt
E68901
Rear seat belt
E73074
WARNING
Make sure that the seat belt
runs smoothly through the
guide.
USING SEAT BELTS DURING PREGNANCY
E68587
WARNING
Position the seat belt correctly
for your safety and that of your
unborn child. Do not use only the lap
strap or the shoulder strap.
Position the lap strap comfortably
across your hips and low beneath
your pregnant abdomen. Position the
shoulder strap between your breasts,
above and to the side of your
pregnant abdomen.
