Built-In Child Seat (If equipped)
[SS30010(ALL)05/96]
The second row bench seat may include an
optional built-in child safety seat. This child
restraint is to be usedonlyby children who are
at least one year old, weigh between 22 and 60
pounds (10 and 27 kilograms) and whose
shoulders (top) are below the shoulder harness
slots in the seatbacks with the headrest in the
full up position.

Inspection after a collision
*
[SS30490(ALL)01/96]
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.
*
[SS30495(ALL)01/96]
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.
