Inspection after a collision
*
[SR30490(ALL)06/95]
RWARNING
All built-in child restraints, including
seats, buckles, retractors, seat latches,
interlocks, and attaching hardware should
be inspected by a qualified dealer
technician after any collision.
*
[SR30495(ALL)08/95]
If the child seat was in use during a collision,
Ford recommends replacing it. However, if the
collision was minor and a qualified technician
finds that the child restraints do not show
damage and continue to operate properly, they
do not need to be replaced. If there is any
bending of the vehicle seatback or seat structure,
it should also be replaced. Built-in child seats
not in use during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either damage or
improper operation is noted.
*
[SR30500(ALL)05/95]
Built-in child seat maintenance
*
[SR30510(ALL)05/95]
Regularly inspect the lap and shoulder belts
system of your child seat. See your Ford dealer
if the shoulder belt webbing is frayed, or if the
buckle and tongue are damaged and/or do not
function properly.

Cleaning
*
[SR30530(ALL)08/95]
Your Built-In Child Seat may be cleaned with
mild soap and water. Do not use household
cleaners as they may weaken the webbing or

the liner can be removed, machine-washed, and
air-dried.
