your vehicle.  
If your vehicle has been involved in  
an accident, have the child restraints  
checked by an authorized dealer.  
Note: Children should be properly  
restrained in a rear seating position  
whenever possible. When using a child  
safety seat ensure that the rear seat back  
is in the most upright position.

Child Safety Seat  
Note: When using a child seat on a rear  
seat, make sure that the child seat rests  
tightly against the vehicle seat. It may be  
necessary to lift or remove the head  
restraint. See Head Restraints (page 65).  
Booster Seat (Group 2)  
E68920  
Secure children that weigh between 13 and  
18 kilograms (29 and 40 pounds) in a child  
safety seat (Group 1) in the rear seat.  
Booster Seats  
WARNINGS  
E70710  
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  
safety belt over the center of your child’s  
shoulder and the lap strap tightly across  
its hips.  
Do not install a booster seat or a  
booster cushion with only the lap  
strap of the safety belt.  
Do not install a booster seat or a  
booster cushion with a safety belt  
that is slack or twisted.  
Do not put the safety 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 kilograms (33 pounds) but  
are less than 150 centimeters (59  
inches) tall in a booster seat or a booster  
cushion.

ISOFIX Anchor Points  
WARNING  
CHILD SEAT POSITIONING  
Use an anti-rotation device when  
using the ISOFIX system. We  
recommend the use of a top tether  
or support leg.  
WARNINGS  
Please consult your dealer for the  
latest details relating to Ford  
recommended child seats.  
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a  
rearward facing child restraint on a  
seat protected by an air bag in front  
of it!  
Note: When you are purchasing an ISOFIX  
restraint, make sure that you know the  
correct mass group and ISOFIX size class  
for the intended seating locations. See  
Child Seat Positioning (page 15).  
Your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX anchor  
points that accommodate universally  
approved ISOFIX child restraints.  
The ISOFIX system comprises two rigid  
attachment arms on the child restraint that  
attach to anchor points on the outboard  
rear seats, where the cushion and backrest  
meet.  
When using a child seat with a  
support leg, the support leg must  
rest securely on the floor.  
When using a child seat with a safety  
belt, make sure that the safety belt  
is not slack or twisted.  
The child seat must rest tightly  
against the vehicle seat. It may be  
necessary to lift or remove the head  
restraint. See Head Restraints (page 65).
