Child safety

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.

Child restraints for different mass groups

Use the correct child restraint as follows:

Baby safety seat

E68918

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

12

Child safety

Child safety seat

E68920

Secure children that weigh between 13 and 18 kilogrammes in a child safety seat in the rear seat.

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.

WARNINGS

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.

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.

16

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.

PRINCIPLE OF

OPERATION

Airbags

WARNINGS

Do not modify the front of your vehicle in any way. This could

adversely affect deployment of the airbags.

Original text according to ECE R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint

on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!

Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. Only when you use the seat belt properly,

can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the correct position (page 64).

Have repairs to the steering wheel, steering column, seats,

airbags and seat belts carried out by properly trained technicians.

Keep the areas in front of the airbags free from obstruction.

Do not affix anything to or over the airbag covers.

Do not poke sharp objects into areas where airbags are fitted.

This could damage and adversely affect deployment of the airbags.

Use seat covers designed for seats with side airbags. Have

these fitted by properly trained technicians.

Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a cloud of harmless powdery residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal.

Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a damp cloth.

Driver and front passenger airbags

E74302

The driver and front passenger airbags will deploy during significant frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbags will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the driver and front passenger airbags will not deploy.

19

Occupant protection

Side airbags

E72658

Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback of the front seats. A label indicates that side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.

The side airbags will deploy during significant lateral collisions. Only the airbag on the side affected by the collision will deploy. The airbags will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing protection for the chest and shoulder areas. During minor lateral collisions, overturns, front collisions and rear collisions, the side airbags will not deploy.

Seat belts

WARNINGS

Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. Only when you use the seat belt properly,

can it hold you in a position to achieve its optimum effect. See

Sitting in the correct position

(page 64).

Never use a seat belt for more than one person.

Use the correct buckle for each seat belt.

Do not use a seat belt that is slack or twisted.

Do not wear thick clothing. The seat belt must fit tightly around

your body to achieve its optimum effect.

Position the shoulder strap of the seat belt over the centre of

your shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.

The drivers seat belt retractor is fitted with a seat belt pretensioner. Seat belt pretensioners have a slightly lower deployment threshold than the airbags. During significant frontal collisions, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will deploy.

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.

Keys and remote controls

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES

CAUTION

The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be

used by other short distance radio transmissions (e.g. amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm systems). If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.

Note: You could unlock the doors if you press the buttons on the remote control unintentionally.

The operating range between your remote control and your vehicle varies depending on the environment.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL

You can programme a maximum of four remote controls to use with your vehicle (including any supplied with your vehicle).

Note: Make sure the anti-theft alarm is deactivated and that all doors are closed.

1.Turn the ignition key from position 0 to position II eight times within 10 seconds. The ignition must end in position II and remain in this position. The door locks will cycle to indicate that it is now possible to programme new remote controls.

2.Press any button on a new remote control within 20 seconds of the door locks cycling. The door locks will cycle again to indicate that the remote control has been successfully programmed.

3.Repeat step 2 for all your remote controls, including your original remote control. Each time a new remote control is successfully programmed, the programming period starts again and it is possible to programme a new remote control for 20 seconds.

4.Turn the ignition to position 0. The door locks will cycle to indicate that the remote control programming is ended. Only the remote controls which you have just programmed are now able to lock and unlock your vehicle.

CHANGING THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY

If the range of the transmitter in the key decreases gradually, the battery (type 3V CR 2032) should be replaced.

23

Keys and remote controls

• Carefully prise out the battery with the flat object. Fit the new battery between the contacts with the + sign facing downwards.

Reassemble the transmitter unit in reverse order.

E68726

•Carefully seperate the transmitter unit from the key using a flat object (e.g. a screwdriver) at the recess on the back.

•Carefully prise out the battery with the flat object. Fit the new battery between the contacts with the + sign facing downwards.

Reassemble the transmitter unit in reverse order.

E68727

•Open the transmitter unit by seperating the retaining clips on the sides with the flat object.

Locks

LOCKING AND

UNLOCKING

Central locking

Note: You can unlock the doors and luggage compartment lid with the key. This needs to be used if the remote control system is not functioning.

Note: Unlocking the luggage compartment lid with a key will only unlock that door.

Note: You can only centrally lock the doors if they are all closed.

Note: You can deactivate the central locking system from the driver's or front passenger's door.

Double locking

WARNING

Do not activate double locking when persons or animals are

inside the vehicle. You will not be able to unlock the doors from the inside if you have double locked them.

Double locking is a theft protection feature that prevents someone from opening the doors from the inside. You can only double lock the doors if they are all closed.

E74799
