When installing a child safety seat:

• Review and follow the information

presented in the Air Bag

Supplemental Restraint System

section in this chapter.

• Use the correct safety belt buckle

for that seating position.

• Insert the belt tongue into the

proper buckle until you hear a

snap and feel it latch. Make sure

the tongue is securely fastened in

the buckle.

• Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety

seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button,

to prevent accidental unbuckling.

• Place seat back in upright position.

• Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to Automatic

locking mode.

• LATCH lower anchors are recommended for use by children up to 48

pounds (22 kg) in a child restraint. Top tether anchors can be used

for children up to 60 pounds (27 kg) in a child restraint, and to

provide upper torso restraint for children up to 80 pounds (36 kg)

using an upper torso harness and a belt-positioning booster.

Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether

strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position with LATCH and

tether anchors. For more information on top tether straps and anchors,

refer to Attaching safety seats with tether straps in this chapter. For

more information of LATCH anchors refer to Attaching safety seats with

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) attachments in this

chapter.

Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions included

with the safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install

and use the safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden

stop or collision.

Rear-facing child seats or infant carriers should never be placed

in the front seats.
