Using the Folding Rear Seat (If equipped)
[FV16800(ALL)05/94]
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
full-folding or split-folding rear seat. In either
case, you can fold down the seatback (or
seatbacks) to provide extra cargo space. If you
have the rear safety belts routed through the
rear safety belt guides on either side of the seats,
the safety belts will not be trapped when the
seats are returned to their upright positions.
*
[FV16900(ALL)01/92]
To fold down the rear seatback:
[FV17000(ALL)07/93]
1. Pull up on the release knob(s) located in the
upper corner(s) of the seatback. The
split-folding rear seat has one knob for each
seatback. The full-folding rear seat has two
knobs, which must both be raised at the
same time to lower the entire seatback.
[FV17100(ALL)03/94]
2. Pull the seatback forward until it is flat.

RWARNING
Do not pile cargo higher than the
seatbacks to avoid injuring people in a
collision or sudden stop.

[FV18100(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Do not remove the floor carpet in your
vehicle. Emission controls cause high
exhaust temperatures under the floor.
[FV18150(ALL)05/93]
NOTE: When returning the folding seats to the
upright position, remember to return
rear shoulder belts to their proper
position. Routing the safety belt
webbing through the rear safety belt
guides will help keep belts from being
trapped behind or under the seats.

NOTE: You might hear a chattering sound
from the Anti-lock Brake System each
time the vehicle is started or during
driving. This is normal.

Ford Motor Company has not found any
detrimental effects of popular mobile road
transmitting equipment installed on vehicles
equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System if
normal radio installation practices are rigidly
followed. However, if after installing mobile
radio transmitting equipment, the Anti-lock
Brake System light comes on at any time other
than immediately after turning the key to the
ON position or during a sudden stop, have your
mobile radio dealer inspect the radio installation.
Proper radio installation procedures to be
followed are published by the radio
manufacturer.
