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,
crash and injury. We strongly
recommend that you use extreme
caution when using any device 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
hand-held device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic
devices while driving.

Introduction

GENERAL INFORMATION
See the following sections for
directions on how to properly use
safety restraints for children.
WARNINGS
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.
All children are shaped
differently. The
recommendations for safety restraints
are based on probable child height,
age and weight thresholds from
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and other safety
organizations, or are the minimum
requirements of law. Ford
recommends checking with a NHTSA
WARNINGS
Certified Child Passenger Safety
Technician (CPST) and consult 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 go to
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov. 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, 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.
15
Child Safety

• You are required by law to properlyuse safety seats for infants and
toddlers in the United States and
Canada.
• Many states and provinces require that small children use approved
booster seats until they reach age
eight, a height of 4 feet 9 inches
(1.45 meters) tall, or 80 pounds
(36 kilograms). Check your local
and state or provincial laws for
specific requirements about the
safety of children in your vehicle.
• When possible, always properly restrain children 12 years of age
and under in a rear seating position
of your vehicle. Accident statistics
suggest that children are safer
when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in a
front seating position. See Front
Passenger Sensing System
(page 45).
CHILD SEAT POSITIONING
WARNINGS
Airbags can kill or injure a child
in a child seat. Never place a
rear-facing child seat in front of an
active airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child seat in the front
seat, move the vehicle seat upon
which the child seat is installed all the
way back. When possible, all children
age 12 and under should be properly
restrained in a rear seating position. If
all children cannot be seated and
restrained properly in a rear seating
position, properly restrain the largest
child in the front seat.
WARNINGS
Always carefully follow the
instructions and warnings
provided by the manufacturer of any
child restraint to determine if the
restraint device is appropriate for your
child's size, height, weight, or age.
Follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions and
warnings provided for installation and
use in conjunction with the
instructions and warnings provided by
your vehicle manufacturer. A safety
seat that is improperly installed or
utilized, is inappropriate for your
child's height, age, or weight or does
not properly fit the child may increase
the risk of serious injury or death.
Never let a passenger hold a
child on his or her lap while your
vehicle is moving. The passenger
cannot protect the child from injury in
a crash, which may result in serious
injury or death.
Never use pillows, books, or
towels to boost a child. They can
slide around and increase the
likelihood of injury or death in a crash.
Always restrain an unoccupied
child seat or booster seat. These
objects may become projectiles in a
crash or sudden stop, which may
increase the risk of serious injury.
Never place, or allow a child to
place, the shoulder belt under a
child's arm or behind the back
because it reduces the protection for
the upper part of the body and may
increase the risk of injury or death in a
crash.

BOOSTER SEATS
WARNING
Never place, or allow a child to
place, the shoulder belt under a
child's arm or behind the back
because it reduces the protection for
the upper part of the body and may
increase the risk of injury or death in a
collision.
18
Child Safety

Note:Some booster seat safety belt
guides may not accommodate the
shoulder portion of the inflatable safety
belt.
Use a belt-positioning booster seat
for children who have outgrown or no
longer properly fit in a child safety
seat (generally children who are less
than 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall,
are greater than age four (4) and less
than age twelve (12), and between 40
pounds (18 kilograms) and 80 pounds
(36 kilograms) and upward to 100
pounds (45 kilograms) if
recommended by your child restraint
manufacturer). Many state and
provincial laws require that children
use approved booster seats until they
reach age eight, a height of 4 feet 9
inches (1.45 meters) tall, or 80 pounds
(36 kilograms).
Booster seats should be used until you
can answer YES to ALL of these
questions when seated without a
booster seat:
E142595
• Can the child sit all the way back against their vehicle seat back with
knees bent comfortably at the
edge of the seat cushion?
• Can the child sit without slouching?
• Does the lap belt rest low across the hips?
• Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and chest?
• Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
Always use booster seats in
conjunction with your vehicle lap and
shoulder belt.
Types of Booster Seats
E68924
• Backless booster seats
If your backless booster seat has a
removable shield, remove the shield.
If a vehicle seating position has a low
seat back or no head restraint, a
backless booster seat may place your
child's head (as measured at the tops
of the ears) above the top of the seat.
19
Child Safety

In this case, move the backless
booster to another seating position
with a higher seat back or head
restraint and lap and shoulder belts,
or consider using a high back booster
seat.
E70710
• High back booster seatsIf, with a backless booster seat, you
cannot find a seating position that
adequately supports your child's
head, a high back booster seat would
be a better choice.
Children and booster seats vary in size
and shape. Choose a booster that
keeps the lap belt low and snug
across the hips, never up across the
stomach, and lets you adjust the
shoulder belt to cross the chest and
rest snugly near the center of the
shoulder. The following drawings
compare the ideal fit (center) to a
shoulder belt uncomfortably close to
the neck and a shoulder belt that
could slip off the shoulder. The
drawings also show how the lap belt
should be low and snug across the
child's hips.
E142596

Child Safety

E142597
If the booster seat slides on the
vehicle seat upon which it is being
used, placing a rubberized mesh sold
as shelf or carpet liner under the
booster seat may improve this
condition. Do not introduce any item
thicker than this under the booster
seat. Check with the booster seat
manufacturer's instructions.
INSTALLING CHILD SEATS
Child Seats
E142594
Use a child safety seat (sometimes
called an infant carrier, convertible
seat, or toddler seat) for infants,
toddlers, or children weighing 40
pounds (18 kilograms) or less
(generally age four or younger).
Using Lap and Shoulder Belts
WARNINGS
Airbags can kill or injure a child
in a child seat. Never place a
rear-facing child seat in front of an
active airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child seat in the front
seat, move the seat upon which the
child seat is installed all the way back.
Airbags can kill or injure a child
in a child seat. Children 12 and
under should be properly restrained
in the rear seat whenever possible.
