MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT
Using mobile communications equipment is becoming increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However, you
must not compromise your own or others’ safety when using such
equipment. Mobile communications can enhance personal safety and
security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency situations.
Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.
Mobile communication equipment includes, but is not limited to, cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, text messaging devices and
portable two-way radios.
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that you
use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take
your focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation
of your vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device
while driving, encourage the use of voice operated systems when
possible and that you become aware of applicable state and local laws
that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.

GENERAL INFORMATION
See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety
restraints for children.
WARNING:Always make sure your child is secured properly in a
device that is appropriate for their height, age and weight. Child
safety restraints must be bought separately from your vehicle. Failure
to follow these instructions and guidelines may result in an increased
risk of serious injury or death to your child.
WARNING:All children are shaped differently. The
recommendations for safety restraints are based on probable
child height, age and weight thresholds from NHTSA and other safety
organizations, or are the minimum requirements of law. Ford
recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety
Technician and consulting your pediatrician to make sure your child
seat is appropriate for your child, and is compatible with and properly
installed in your vehicle. To locate a child seat fitting station and CPST,
contact the NHTSA toll free at 1-888-327-4236 or locate NHTSA on the
internet. In Canada, check with your local St. John Ambulance office
for referral to a CPST or for further information, contact your provincial
ministry of transportation, or locate your local St. John Ambulance
office by searching for St. John Ambulance on the internet, or
Transport Canada at 1–800–333–0371 (http://www.tc.gc.ca). Failure to
properly restrain children in safety seats made especially for their
height, age, and weight may result in an increased risk of serious injury
or death to your child.
Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children
