REAR FLIP-UP SEAT (IF EQUIPPED)
Flipping-up the seat
The rear seatback has a split 60/40
seat. Each seat cushion can be
flipped-up into the seatback
position.
1. Pull the control to release the
seat cushion.
2. Rotate the seat cushion up until it
locks into the vertical storage
position.
Returning the seat to horizontal position
Always latch the vehicle seat to the floor, whether the seat is
occupied or empty. If not latched, the seat may cause injury
during a sudden stop.
Make sure the safety belts are accessible and not trapped behind
the seat when the seat is returned to its horizontal position.
1. Pull the control on the side of the seat to release the seat cushion
from its storage position.
2. Push the seat cushion down until it locks into the horizontal position.
SAFETY RESTRAINTS
Safety restraints precautions
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap
belt snug and low across the hips.

can be properly restrained.

3. Buckle the seat belt. Push down
on the child seat and pull on the
shoulder portion of the belt to snug
the lap belt. Hold the lap and
shoulder belts next to the tongue
and unbuckle the belt.
4. Install a locking clip over both lap
and shoulder belt portions next to
the sliding tongue. Rebuckle the
belt. Obtain the locking clip kit (part
number FO3Z-5461248–A) at no
charge from an authorized Ford or
Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
5. Before placing the child in the seat, forcibly tilt the seat forward and
back to make sure the seat is securely held in place. To check this, grab
the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to side and forward
and back. There should be no more than one inch of movement for
proper installation.
6. If the child seat is not tight enough, unbuckle the seat belt, move the
tongue and locking clip to shorten the lap portion and push down hard
on the child seat while you rebuckle the belt.
7. Check to make sure the child seat is properly secured before each
use.
