2011 FORD TRANSIT child lock

WARNING:Depending on where you secure a child restraint,
and depending on the child restraint design, you may block
access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able
to be properly restrained.
Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly
attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor, if applicable. Tug the
child seat from side to side and forward and back where it is secured to
the vehicle. The seat should move less than one inch when you do this
for a proper installation.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a crash greatly increases.
Combining safety belt and LATCH lower anchors for attaching
child safety seats
When used in combination, either the safety belt or the LATCH lower
anchors may be attached first, provided a proper installation is achieved.
Attach the tether strap afterward, if included with the child seat. Refer
toRecommendations for attaching child safety restraints for children
in this chapter.
Combining LATCH lower anchors with tethers for attaching child
safety seats (5-Passenger Taxi only)
When the LATCH lower anchors and tethers are used together, use the
following attachment combinations only:
•Use LATCH lower anchor 1 with
tether 1 as depicted in the
graphic.
•Use LATCH lower anchor 2 with
tether 2 as depicted in the
graphic.
•DO NOTuse the LATCH lower
anchors in combination with
tether 3.
