Seats; Sitting In The Correct Position; Head Restraints; Adjusting The Head Restraints - Ford ECOSPORT Owner's Manual

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Sitting improperly, out of position or
with the seat back reclined too far
can take weight off the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger
sensing system, resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a collision. Always
sit upright against your seat back, with your
feet on the floor.
Do not recline the seat back as this
can cause the occupant to slide
under the safety belt, resulting in
serious injury in the event of a collision.
Do not place objects higher than the
seat back to reduce the risk of
serious injury in the event of a
collision or during heavy braking.

The correct use of these components

WARNING
Never adjust the seats when the

Seats

Note: The seat belt must be used properly
to hold the body in a position to allow the
airbag to achieve maximum effect.
Correct Driving Position
• Sit in the most vertical position
possible, and with the seat backrest
not reclined by more than 30 degrees.
• Adjust the head restraints.
• Do not place the front seat much too
close to the dashboard. The same
applies to the front passenger.
• The driver should hold the steering
wheel with the arms slightly bent, as
well as the legs, so that the pedals can
be fully pressed.
• Position the shoulder strap of the
safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Raise the rear head restraint when
the rear seat is occupied by a
passenger.
When front seats are in use the head
restraints must not be removed.

Adjusting the head restraints

Adjust the head restraint so that the top
of it is level with the top of your head.
