To gain access to the additional
anchorage points it is necessary
to remove the small plug from the
anchorage to install the appropriate
bolt, lock washer, anchor fitting and
spacer (where required). The anchorage
components must be selected and
assembled as shown in the preceding
illustration.
Install the standard 30 mm bolt and the
recommended spacer (total thickness
10 mm), together with the anchor fitting
(and cover if applicable) and lock washer
supplied with the child restraint as
illustrated.
The bolt thread should protrude at least
10 mm beyond the spacer with the
lock washer, anchor fitting and spacer
assembled together. Tighten the bolt
with the anchor fitting facing toward the
front of the vehicle as shown.
WARNINGS
Do not over-tighten the
attachment bolt.
Maximum Torque: 20Nm
Incorrectly fitted child restraints
may swing, tip or come away
causing death or injury.
Illustrations of the restraint attachment
clip and anchor fitting are only applicable
to child restraint attachment clips
conforming to AS1754-1991 (or later).
These can be purchased from your Ford
dealer, child restraint manufacturers or
suppliers. If your child restraint does
not have an approved latched hook
attachment clip as shown, you should
consult an approved Restraint Fitting
Station.
Child safety
PROTECTING LARGER
CHILDREN
When a child outgrows the
recommended weight or height limits for
a forward facing child restraint system,
the child should sit on a booster seat on
the rear seat and wear a lap-sash seat
belt. A booster seat should be used until
the child is tall enough for the lap-sash
seat belt to fit properly.
Checking seat belt fit
To determine if the lap sash seat belt
properly fits a child, have the child put
on the belt as per instructions in the
"Lap-sash belts" section.
If the shoulder part of the seat belt rests
over the child's collar bone and against
the centre of the chest, the child is large
enough to wear the lap sash seat belt.
If the seat belt touches or crosses the
child's neck then the child needs a
booster seat.
Never wear a seat belt across the
neck. This could result in serious
neck injury in the event of a collision.
The rear seat is the safest place
for children.
