Ford 1996 Taurus Manual page 58

To stow the built-in child seat:
1. Return the child seat cushion to the upright
position.
2. Press firmly in the center and top of the
child seat to place it in the stowed position.
3. Reattach the flap on the child seat to the top
of the seatback.
The seat can now be used by an adult or the
seatback can be folded down.
NOTE: The seatback cannot be folded down
unless the child seat is fully stowed.
Inspection after a collision
All built-in child restraints, including
seats, buckles, retractors, seat latches,
interlocks, and attaching hardware should
be inspected by a qualified Dealer
technician after any collision. If the child
seat was in use during a collision, Ford
recommends replacing it. However, if the
collision was minor and a qualified
technician finds that the child restraints
do not show damage and continue to
operate properly, they do not need to be
replaced. Built-in child seats not in use
during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either damage or
improper operation is noted.
