CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS
Please consult your Dealer for the
latest details relating to Ford
recommended child seats.
When you are using a group 0 or 0+
child seat with a support leg on a
second row seat, make sure that you
locate the support leg securely on the
under floor storage compartment cover.
Make sure that you install the foam spacer
correctly inside the storage compartment,
using any screws or fastenings provided
and, that you position the cover correctly.
If the under floor storage
compartment foam spacer is
damaged or missing, remove the
storage compartment cover and extend
the leg to the base of the compartment. If
it is not possible to locate the leg securely
on the base of the compartment, for
example because of the shape or length
of the leg, replace the foam spacer and
compartment cover or select a different
seating position in the vehicle.

Child Safety
If you want to use a child seat with a
support leg, consult the child seat
manufacturer's website or fitting
instructions. You must make sure the child
seat is compatible with your vehicle. Check
for any special fitting instructions regarding
the removal of the under floor storage
compartment cover or the position of the
second row seats. See Child Seat
Positioning (page 23).
On certain vehicles it is not possible
to open or remove the left-hand
compartment cover. See Storage
compartments (page 140). For group 0 or
0+ child seats, this does not prevent the
support leg being located on the cover.
However, if any larger child seat that you
may wish to use requires you to remove
the cover and extend the leg to the base
of the compartment, either select a
different seating position in the vehicle or
a different child seat.
When using a forward facing child
seat on a second or third row seat,
always remove the head restraint
from that seat. See Head Restraints
(page 126).
When using a child seat with a safety
belt, make sure that the safety belt
is not slack or twisted.
Note: When using a child seat on a front
seat, always adjust the front passenger seat
to its fully rearwards position. If it proves
difficult to tighten the lap section of the
safety belt without slack remaining, adjust
the seatback to the fully upright position
and raise the height of the seat. See
Manual Seats (page 127). See Power
Seats (page 128).
Note: When using a child seat on a second
row seat, adjust the second row seat to the
most practical position for the driver. See
Rear Seats (page 130).
