Child safety restraints must bebought separately from your vehicle.Failure to follow these instructions andguidelines may result in an increased riskof serious injury or death to your child.
All children are shaped differently.The recommendations for safetyrestraints are based on probablechild height, age and weight thresholdsfrom National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration and other safetyorganizations, or are the minimumrequirements of law. Ford recommendschecking with a NHTSA Certified ChildPassenger Safety Technician (CPST) andconsult your pediatrician to make sure yourchild seat is appropriate for your child, and
WARNINGS
is compatible with and properly installedin your vehicle. To locate a child seat fittingstation and CPST, contact the NHTSA tollfree at 1-888-327-4236 or go tohttp://www.nhtsa.dot.gov. In Canada,check with your local St. John Ambulanceoffice for referral to a CPST or for furtherinformation, contact your provincialministry of transportation, locate your localSt. John Ambulance office by searching forSt. John Ambulance on the internet, orTransport Canada at 1-800-333-0371(http://www.tc.gc.ca). Failure to properlyrestrain children in safety seats madeespecially for their height, age, and weightmay result in an increased risk of seriousinjury or death to your child.
Do not leave children or animalsunattended in the vehicle. On hotdays, the temperature in the trunk orvehicle interior can rise very quickly.Exposure of people or animals to thesehigh temperatures for even a short timecan cause death or serious heat-relatedinjuries, including brain damage. Smallchildren are particularly at risk.

Child SafetyE142594

Use a child safety seat (sometimes calledan infant carrier, convertible seat, ortoddler seat) for infants, toddlers, orchildren weighing 40 pounds (18kilograms) or less (generally age four oryounger).
Using Lap and Shoulder Belts
WARNINGS
Airbags can kill or injure a child in achild seat. Never place a rear-facingchild seat in front of an active airbag.If you must use a forward-facing child seatin the front seat, move the vehicle seatupon which the seat is installed all the wayback.
Airbags can kill or injure a child in achild seat. Children 12 and undershould be properly restrained in therear seat whenever possible.
Depending on where you secure achild restraint, and depending on thechild restraint design, you may blockaccess to certain safety belt buckleassemblies and LATCH lower anchors,rendering those features potentiallyunusable. To avoid risk of injury, occupantsshould only use seating positions wherethey are able to be properly restrained.
When installing a child safety seat withcombination lap and shoulder belts:
•Use the correct safety belt buckle forthat seating position.
•Insert the belt tongue into the properbuckle until you hear a snap and feel itlatch. Make sure the tongue is securelyfastened in the buckle.
•Keep the buckle release buttonpointing up and away from the safetyseat, with the tongue between the childseat and the release button, to preventaccidental unbuckling.
•Place the vehicle seat upon which thechild seat will be installed in the uprightposition.
•Put the safety belt in the automaticlocking mode. This vehicle does notrequire the use of a locking clip.
Perform the following steps wheninstalling the child seat with combinationlap and shoulder belts:
Note:Although the child seat illustrated isa forward facing child seat, the steps arethe same for installing a rear facing childseat.
1. Position the child safety seat in a seatwith a combination lap and shoulderbelt.
2. Pull down on the shoulder belt andthen grasp the shoulder belt and lapbelt together.

8.Remove remaining slack from the belt.Force the seat down with extra weight,for example, by pressing down orkneeling on the child restraint whilepulling up on the shoulder belt in orderto force slack from the belt. This isnecessary to remove the remainingslack that will exist once the extraweight of the child is added to the childrestraint. It also helps to achieve theproper snugness of the child seat toyour vehicle. Sometimes, a slight leantoward the buckle will help to removeremaining slack from the belt.
9.Attach the tether strap (if the child seatis equipped).
10. Before placing the child in the seat,forcibly move the seat forward andback to make sure the seat is securelyheld in place.
To check this, grab the seat at the belt pathand attempt to move it side to side andforward and back. There should be nomore than 1 in (2.5 cm) of movement forproper installation.
We recommend checking with a NHTSACertified Child Passenger SafetyTechnician to make certain the childrestraint is properly installed. In Canada,check with your local St. John Ambulanceoffice for referral to a Certified PassengerSeat Technician.
Using Lower Anchors and Tethersfor CHildren (LATCH)
WARNING
Never attach two child safety seatsto the same anchor. In a crash, oneanchor may not be strong enough tohold two child safety seat attachmentsand may break, causing serious injury ordeath.
The LATCH system is composed of threevehicle anchor points: two lower anchorslocated where the vehicle seatback andseat cushion meet (called the seat bight)and one top tether anchor located behindthat seating position.
LATCH compatible child safety seats havetwo rigid or webbing mountedattachments that connect to the two loweranchors at the LATCH equipped seatingpositions in your vehicle. This type ofattachment method eliminates the needto use safety belts to attach the child seat,however the safety belt can still be usedto attach the child seat if the lower anchorsare not used. For forward-facing childseats, the top tether strap must also beattached to the proper top tether anchor,if a top tether strap has been provided withyour child seat. We recommend the use ofa child safety seat having a top tetherstrap. See Using Tether Straps in thischapter.
Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors forchild seat installation at the seatingpositions marked with the child seatsymbol.

1. For center seating positions, route thechild safety seat tether strap over theback of the seat. For outboard seatingpositions, route the tether strap underthe head restraint and between thehead restraint posts. If the top of thesafety seat hits the head restraint,recline the seat back slightly to obtainproper fit.
2. Locate the correct anchor for theselected seating position.
3. Grasp the tether strap and position itto the seat frame.
4. Rotate the tether strap, and clip thetether strap to the anchor on the seatframe.

3.Clip the tether strap through the anchorloop as shown. If the tether strap isclipped incorrectly, the child safetyseat may not be retained properly inthe event of a crash.
4. Tighten the child safety seat tetherstrap according to the manufacturer’sinstructions. If the safety seat is notanchored properly, the risk of a childbeing injured in a crash greatlyincreases.
If your child restraint system is equippedwith a tether strap, and the child restraintmanufacturer recommends its use, we alsorecommend its use.
BOOSTER SEATS
WARNING
Never place, or allow a child to place,the shoulder belt under a child's armor behind the back because itreduces the protection for the upper partof the body and may increase the risk ofinjury or death in a crash.
Note:Some booster seat safety belt guidesmay not accommodate the shoulder portionof the inflatable safety belt.
Use a belt-positioning booster seat forchildren who have outgrown or no longerproperly fit in a child safety seat (generallychildren who are less than 4 feet 9 inches(1.45 meters) tall, are greater than age four(4) and less than age twelve (12), andbetween 40 pounds (18 kilograms) and80 pounds (36 kilograms) and upward to100 pounds (45 kilograms) ifrecommended by your child restraintmanufacturer). Many state and provinciallaws require that children use approvedbooster seats until they reach age eight, aheight of 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall,or 80 pounds (36 kilograms).
Booster seats should be used until you cananswer YES to ALL of these questionswhen seated without a booster seat:
