Note: Mandatory use of child restraints varies from country to country. A choice of ECE approved child restraints which have been specifically tested and approved for your vehicle are available from your Dealer. E68916 WARNINGS Secure children that are less than 150 centimetres tall or less than 12 years of age in a suitable, approved child restraint, in the rear seat. Original text according to ECE R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it! Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions when you are fitting a child restraint. Do not modify child restraints in any way. Do not hold a child on your lap when the vehicle is moving. Do not leave unattended children in your vehicle. Child restraints for different mass groups Use the correct child restraint as follows: Baby safety seat E68918 Secure children that weigh less than 13 kilogrammes in a rearward facing baby safety seat in the rear seat. 20 Child safety Child safety seat Secure children that weigh between 13 and 18 kilogrammes in a child safety seat in the rear seat.

However, we recommend that you secure children in a government approved child restraint, in the rear seat. 1 22 Child safety BOOSTER CUSHIONS WARNINGS Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with only the lap strap of the seat belt. Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with a seat belt that is slack or twisted. Do not put the seat belt under your child's arm or behind its back. Do not use pillows, books or towels to boost your child's height. Make sure that your children sit in an upright position. Secure children that weigh more than 15 kilogrammes but are less than 150 centimetres tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion. We recommend that you use a booster seat that combines a cushion with a backrest instead of a booster cushion only. The raised seating position will allow you to position the shoulder strap of the adult seat belt over the centre of your child's shoulder and the lap strap tightly across its hips. Booster cushion Booster seat E68924 E70710 23 Child safety ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS Attaching child safety seats with top tethers E75531 Your vehicle has been equipped with ISOFIX attachments. Your Ford Dealer will be pleased to make them accessible. The ISOFIX system consists of two rigid latching arms on the child seat, which attach to anchor points at the base of the vehicle seat back. When made available by your Ford Dealer, the two lower anchor points may be found in the rear seating rows and are labelled with a circular pictogram and the word ISOFIX. The funnel guides enable the latching arms of an ISOFIX child seat to be easily and securely attached. ISOFIX child seats not approved by Ford have not been validated by Ford, and neither the safety nor the suitability of such seats can be certified, whether installed using the ISOFIX system or the normal seat belts. E78299 WARNINGS Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor. Ford does not recommend the use of an ISOFIX system without the use of an anti-rotation device, such as a top tether anchor or support leg, correctly installed. There is a risk of death or serious injury when the manufacturers instructions are not followed properly or when the child restraint is modified in any way. 24 Child safety A third anchor point has been provided for child seats that are equipped with a top tether, available for use in the forward facing configuration. The top tether anchors in your vehicle are located on the floor of the luggage compartment. The tether strap should be routed beneath the raised rear head restraint, to the anchor point on the floor of the luggage compartment. The anchor point is identified by a pictogram. After installing the child safety seat, tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer's instructions. 25 Child safety CHILD SAFETY LOCKS E78298 WARNING When the child safety lock is activated, the door can only be opened from outside. Turn the key in the rear door in the direction of the arrow to activate the lock. To deactivate the lock turn the key in opposite direction to the arrow. 26 Occupant protection PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Airbags E78293 WARNING Do not modify the front of the vehicle in any way as this can adversely affect airbag deployment. Note: A loud bang will be heard when an airbag deploys and it is normal to see a cloud of harmless powdery residue. The airbag system comprises the following: · · · · · · single-stage inflatable nylon bags (airbags) with gas generators side airbags curtain airbags seat belt pretensioners a seat belt reminder crash sensors. · · · · a warning lamp in the instrument panel. an airbag deactivation switch an airbag deactivation indicator in the instrument panel an electronic control and diagnostic unit. E72330 27 Occupant protection WARNINGS Repairs to either of the front seat covers, the sensors attached to the seats as well as to the roof lining should only be carried out by properly trained technicians. Injuries may result if the side airbags are triggered inadvertently. Do not block, obstruct or cover the airbag because it may prevent proper deployment. Do not poke any sharp objects into the areas where airbags are fitted. This could damage the airbags. Do not use any accessory seat covers that are not specifically designed for seats with side airbags. These seat covers must be fitted by properly trained technicians. WARNING Always wear the seat belt and keep sufficient distance between the driver and the steering wheel. Only when the seat belt is used properly, can it hold the body in a position which allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. There is a risk of injury when the airbag deploys. The seat and back must be set correctly for the airbags to be optimally effective. See Sitting in the correct position (page 120). This is the ideal seating position for the driver and front passenger and helps reduce the risk of injury from sitting too close to an inflating airbag. E66553 E72325 28 Occupant protection The front airbags activate during significant collisions which are either frontal or up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbags inflate within a few thousandths of a second. They will deflate on contact with the front occupants thus cushioning forward body movement. WARNINGS Repairs to the steering wheel, steering column and airbag system should be carried out by properly trained technicians. Always keep the areas in front of the airbags free. Never affix anything to or over these areas. These areas should only be wiped with a damp cloth, never with a wet cloth. Side air bags E72326 During minor collisions as well as overturns and rear or side collisions, the front airbag system will not be activated. E72328 A label on the seatback indicates that side airbags are fitted. The side airbags are fitted on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats. In case of a severe lateral collision, the airbag on the side affected by the collision will be inflated. E78294 The airbag will inflate between the door panel and occupant. Once the occupant's body contacts the airbag, the propellant escapes, thereby cushioning the impact. 29 Occupant protection The side airbags are not activated upon minor lateral collisions nor upon front or rear impacts. Curtain air bags WARNINGS The seat belts should fit tightly around the body. Seat belt pretensioner E72329 E72333 Moulded badges in the A- and B-piller trims indicate that curtain air bags are fitted. The curtain airbags are fitted over the front and rear side windows inside the roof lining. In case of a severe lateral collision, the air bag on the side affected by the collision will be inflated. The curtain air bags are not activated upon minor lateral collisions nor upon front or rear impacts. WARNING The belt pretensioners must not be removed. If the pretensioners are deployed during an accident, they must be replaced. Have the pretensioners serviced and disposed of by specially trained personnel only. The restraint system, with belt pretensioners in the front seats, helps to reduce the risk of serious injury in a major frontal impact. During a serious crash the seat belts are pretensioned to help reduce slack in the belt. The safety belt pretensioner is a device which removes excess webbing from the safety belt system. When the safety belt pretensioner deploys, webbing from the lap and shoulder belt is tightened. Seat belts WARNINGS Use seat belts at all times. Never use a seat belt for more than one person. Avoid wearing thick clothing. 30 Occupant protection The belt pretensioner is not triggered in any side, rear or minor frontal collisions. FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS E78079 When in use, the rear seat belts should be placed in the belt guides on the outboard seatbacks. E74124 WARNING Insert the tongue into the buckle until a distinct click is heard, otherwise the seat belt will not be locked correctly. Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if pulled sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope. To release the belt, press the red button on the buckle and let the belt rewind completely and smoothly. E74127 WARNING In order to ensure that the centre belt works properly, the rear seatback must be correctly engaged. Make sure that each seat belt uses the correct buckle. 31 Occupant protection 1 2 E74125 E74126 The retractor for the rear centre seat belt is located in the roof. To fasten the seat belt, pull it out steadily and engage the smaller, black tongue in the smaller black buckle to the right of the centre seat. Then pull the larger tongue across the lap and engage it in the larger buckle to the left of the centre seat. To release the belt, first press the red button on the left buckle and let the belt rewind. If in constant use, the belt can be left buckled in the right-hand buckle. When not in use, or when folding or moving the rear seats, the belt should be released from the right-hand buckle by pressing the button on the side of the buckle and letting the belt rewind smoothly to the retractor in the roof. E78080 32 Occupant protection Fold the smaller seat belt tongue back and insert the larger belt tongue into the retaining slot as shown. WARNING Position the seat belt correctly for your safety and that of your unborn child. Do not use only the lap strap or the shoulder strap. Position the lap strap comfortably across your hips and low beneath your pregnant abdomen. Position the shoulder strap between your breasts, above and to the side of your pregnant abdomen. SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT DISABLING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG E78081 WARNING Make sure that the passenger airbag is disabled when using a rearward facing child restraint on the front passenger seat. Press the locking control on the height adjuster and move the pivot so that the belt rests across the centre of the shoulder. Lifting the slider slightly while pressing the locking control makes it easier to release the locking mechanism. USING SEAT BELTS DURING PREGNANCY E71313 E68587 33 Occupant protection Fitting the passenger airbag deactivation switch WARNING If you need to fit a child restraint on a seat protected by an operational airbag in front of it, have a passenger airbag deactivation switch fitted. Ask your dealer for further information. Note: The key switch is located in the glove compartment with an airbag deactivation lamp in the instrument panel. If the airbag warning lamp illuminates or flashes when you are driving, this indicates a malfunction. See Warning lamps and indicators (page 90). Remove the child restraint and have the system checked immediately. Enabling the passenger airbag WARNING Make sure that the passenger airbag is enabled when you are not using a child restraint on the front passenger seat. Turn the switch to position B.
