Safety Restraints

[SR18501(ALL)09/95]
Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to attach the
tether strap to the tether bracket.
*
[SR18950(ALL)06/95]
RWARNING
Only use the tether attachment hole locations shown in
the illustrations. The tether anchor may not perform
properly if the wrong mounting location is used.
*
[SR19595(R )05/95]
In Super Cabs equipped with Center Facing Jump Seats, the
tether strap anchor bracket should be installed only at the center
of the cab's back panel with the child seat in the front center
seating position. Installing an anchor bracket at the right rear of
the cab may increase risk of injury to an occupant of the right
rear center facing jump seat in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. If a tethered child seat is installed in the right
front seating position, secure the tether strap to the webbing of
the buckled right rear lap belt.
*
[SR19600(R )05/95]
RWARNING
Do not install a child seat in a center facing jump seat.

Safety Belts for Children
*
[SR19800(ALL)07/95]
Children who are too large for child safety seats should always
wear safety belts. (See instructions with your child seat, or
contact its manufacturer, to determine maximum size of child
that will safely fit in the seat.)
*
[SR19900(ALL)07/95]
RWARNING
If safety belts are not properly worn and adjusted as
described, the risk of serious injury to the child in a
collision will be much greater.

[SR20000(ALL)07/95]
If the shoulder belt portion of one of the lap and shoulder belts
can be positioned so that it does not cross or rest in front of the
child's face or neck, the child should wear the lap and shoulder
belt. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may
help provide a good shoulder belt fit.
*
[SR20050(ALL)07/95]
To improve the fit of lap and shoulder belts on children who
have outgrown child safety seats, Ford recommends use of a
belt-positioning booster seat that is labelled as conforming to all
Federal motor vehicle safety standards. Belt-positioning booster
seats raise the child and provide a shorter, firmer seating
cushion that encourages safer seating posture and better fit of
lap and shoulder belts on the child. A belt-positioning booster
should be used if the shoulder belt rests in front of the child's
face or neck, or if the lap belt does not fit snugly on both
thighs, or if the thighs are too short to let the child sit all the
way back on the seat cushion when the lower legs hang over
the edge of the seat cushion. You may wish to discuss the
specific needs of your child with your pediatrician.
*
[SR20200(ALL)07/95]
Lap belts and the lap belt portion of lap and shoulder belts
should always be worn snugly and below the hips, touching the
child's thighs.
*
[SR20300(ALL)08/95]
RWARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury in a collision,
children should always ride with the seatback upright.

Reclining Bucket Seats (If equipped)
[FV26500(R )06/95]
If your vehicle is equipped with the optional reclining bucket
seat, you can tilt the seatback up to 30 degrees rearward.
*
[FV26600(R )06/95]1.
On the side of the seat, find the handle for the recliner.
*
[FV26700(R )08/95]2.
Lift the handle up and hold it in place.
*
[FV26800(R )06/95]3.
Lean against the back of the seat and adjust it to the position
you want.
*
[FV26900(R )06/95]4.
Release the handle to lock the seatback in position.
*
[FV27001(R )06/95]5.
To return the seatback to upright position, lift the handle
and lean forward. Then release the handle.
[FV27751(ALL)08/94]
Lifting the recliner handle of an unoccupied seat will allow the
seat back to fold forward for access to the rear. Pushing the seat
back with the release handle raised returns the seat back to the
upright position.

[FV46020(ALL)08/94]
With the front seatback tilted forward, the tilt slide seat can be
moved to provide additional entry space to access the rear seat
compartment of the vehicle.
*
[FV46025(ALL)05/94]
To operate the tilt slide seat:
[FV46030(ALL)08/94]1.
Lift the seatback release lever on the outboard side of the
seat cushion to unlock the slide mechanism and seatback.
*
[FV46035(ALL)03/93]2.
Push the seat assembly forward to provide entry space to the
rear seat compartment of the vehicle.
*
[FV46037(ALL)08/94]
RWARNING
Do not place objects behind or under the front seat
which can prevent the seat from returning to the locked
position.
*
[FV46038(R )08/95]
RWARNING
A seatback which is folded forward even a small degree
may not lock properly in the event of a sudden stop or
collision.
[FV46040(ALL)08/94]3.
With the seatback still forward, using the seat cushion push
the seat rearward to the desired position and return the
seatback to its upright position. This will lock the seat track.
[FV46043(ALL)09/95]
NOTE: Whenever the seatback is returned to the upright
position, the seat will lock in that seat position.
