CHILD SEAT POSITIONING
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! WARNINGS
When you are using a child restraint
with a support leg on a second row
seat, make sure that you locate the
support leg securely on the under floor
storage compartment lid. Make sure that
you install the foam spacer correctly inside
the storage compartment and that you
position the lid correctly. When using a child seat with a seat
belt, make sure that the seat belt is
not slack or twisted.
CAUTION
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 110). 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 seat
belt without slack remaining, adjust the
seatback to the fully upright position and
raise the height of the seat. See Seats
(page 109).

Child Safety

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS
WARNING
Use an anti-rotation device when
using the ISOFIX system. We
recommend the use of a top tether
or support leg. 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 21).
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. Tether anchor points are fitted
behind the outboard rear seats for child
restraints with a top tether. Top tether anchor points - All
vehicles
Top tether anchor points - C-MAX
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with the
comfort seat system, slide the
second row seat forwards to gain
access to the anchor points. After installing
the ISOFIX seat, do not move the seat to
the comfort position as it could interfere
with the tether strap routing. 24

Attaching a child seat with top
tethers
WARNINGS
Do not attach a tether strap to
anything other than the correct

Make sure that the top tether strap
is not slack or twisted and is properly
located on the anchor point.
Note:
Where applicable, remove the
luggage cover to ease installation. See
Luggage Covers (page 163).
1. Route the tether strap to the anchor point. 2. Push the child seat back firmly to
engage the ISOFIX lower anchor points.
3. Tighten the tether strap in line with the
child seat manufacturer's instructions.
CHILD SAFETY LOCKS WARNING

Airbags
WARNINGS
Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags. Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front
of it! Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a
position that allows the airbag to achieve
its optimum effect. See Sitting in the
Correct Position (page 109). Have repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
seat belts carried out by a properly
trained technician. Keep the areas in front of the airbags
free from obstruction. Do not affix
anything to or over the airbag covers.
Do not poke sharp objects into areas
where airbags are fitted. This could
damage and adversely affect
deployment of the airbags. Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by a properly trained technician.
Note:
You will hear a loud bang and see a
cloud of harmless powdery residue if an
airbag deploys. This is normal.
Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a damp
cloth. Front airbags
The driver airbag, front passenger airbag
and the seat belt pretensioners will deploy
during significant frontal collisions or
collisions that are up to 30 degrees from
the left or the right. The airbags will inflate
within a few thousandths of a second and
deflate on contact with the occupants,
thus cushioning forward body movement.
During minor frontal collisions, overturns,
rear collisions and side collisions, the driver
and front passenger airbags will not
deploy.
Side and curtain airbags
During significant lateral collisions, only
the airbags on the side affected by the
collision and the seat belt pretensioners
will deploy. The airbags will inflate within
a few thousandths of a second and deflate
on contact with the occupants, thus
providing protection for the body. The side
and curtain airbags will not deploy during
minor lateral collisions, front collisions, rear
collisions or overturns.
27
Occupant protectionE74302

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Side airbags
Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback
of the front seats. A label indicates that
side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
Curtain airbags
Curtain airbags are fitted inside the trim
panels over the front and rear side
windows. Moulded badges in the B-pillar
trim panels indicate that curtain airbags
are fitted to your vehicle.
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a
position to achieve its optimum effect. See
Sitting in the Correct Position (page
109). WARNINGS
Never use a seat belt for more than
one person.
Use the correct buckle for each seat
belt.
Do not use a seat belt that is slack
or twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The seat
belt must fit tightly around your body
to achieve its optimum effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the
seat belt over the centre of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips. Seat belt pretensioners have a lower
deployment threshold than the airbags.
During minor collisions, it is possible that
only the seat belt pretensioners will deploy.
All vehicles
The driver and front passenger seat belt
systems are fitted with a seat belt
pretensioner.
Grand C-MAX
The second row centre seat belt system is
also fitted with a seat belt pretensioner.
Status after a collision
WARNINGS
Seat belts subjected to strain, as a
result of an accident, should be
renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician. If a seat belt pretensioner has been
deployed the seat belt must be
renewed.
