Disarming an Untriggered Anti-Theft System
[CF52000(ALL)01/96]
You can disarm the system by unlocking either front door or
the liftgate with your door key. Turn the key all the way to the
end of travel or the system will not disarm.
[CF52100(ALL)01/96]
You can also disarm the system by unlocking the driver's door
by using the UNLOCK button of the remote entry transmitter or
by using the five-digit unlock code on the keyless entry system
keypad.
[CF52200(ALL)04/96]
If the system is armed and you remain in your vehicle, simply
insert the key into the ignition and turn it to ON. This disarms
the system and allows you to open the door and exit without
triggering the system.

Safety Seats for Children
*
[SS28200(ALL)01/96]
Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight
of the child. Always follow the safety seat manufacturer's
instructions when installing and using the safety seat.
*
[SS28300(ALL)01/96]
Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top
tether strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position
which is capable of providing a tether anchorage. For more
information on top tether straps seeAttaching Safety Seats With
Tether Strapsin this chapter.
*
[SS28400(ALL)05/96]
When installing a child safety seat, be sure to use the correct
safety belt buckle for that seating position, and make sure the
tongue is securely fastened in the buckle. For a shoulder/lap
belt combination with a sliding tongue, make sure the retractor
is in the automatic locking mode.
[SS28500(ALL)04/96]
In rear-facing infant seats, the infant's head is closer to the
passenger air bag. The force of the rapidly inflating air bag
could push the top of the rear-facing seat against the vehicle
seatback. REAR-FACING INFANT SEATS MUST ALWAYS BE
SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT, and other child seats and
infant seats should be secured in the rear seat whenever
possible. Forward-facing child seats used in the front seat must
have the passenger seat moved as far back from the instrument
panel as possible.
*
[SS28600(ALL)05/96]
Your vehicle is equipped with a right front passenger air bag.
Air bags deploy with great force, faster than the blink of an eye.
Front passengers, especially children and small adults, must
never sit on the front edge of the seat, stand near the glove
compartment of the instrument panel, or lean over near the air
bag cover when the vehicle is moving. All occupants should sit
with their backs against the seatback, move the seat to the most
rearward position if possible and use the safety belts. Children
weighing less than 40 lbs. (18 kg) always should use child or
infant seats.
