restraint. See Head Restraints (page 126).

18 kilograms (29 and 40 pounds) in a child safety seat (Group 1) in the rear seat.
BOOSTER SEATS
WARNINGS
Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with only the lap strap of the safety belt.
Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with a safety belt that is slack or twisted.
Do not put the safety belt under your child’s arm or behind its back.
Do not use pillows, books or towels to boost your child’s height.
Make sure that your children sit in an upright position.
Secure children that weigh more than 15 kilograms (33 pounds) but are less than 150 centimeters (59 inches) tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion.
We recommend that you use a booster seat that combines a cushion with a backrest instead of a booster cushion only.

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING
WARNINGS
Please consult your Dealer for the latest details relating to Ford recommended child seats.
When you are using a group 0 or 0+ child seat with a support leg on a second row seat, make sure that you locate the support leg securely on the under floor storage compartment cover.
Make sure that you install the foam spacer correctly inside the storage compartment, using any screws or fastenings provided and, that you position the cover correctly.
If the under floor storage compartment foam spacer is damaged or missing, remove the storage compartment cover and extend the leg to the base of the compartment. If it is not possible to locate the leg securely on the base of the compartment, for example because of the shape or length of the leg, replace the foam spacer and compartment cover or select a different seating position in the vehicle.
WARNINGS
If you want to use a child seat with a support leg, consult the child seat manufacturer's website or fitting instructions. You must make sure the child seat is compatible with your vehicle. Check for any special fitting instructions regarding the removal of the under floor storage compartment cover or the position of the
second row seats. See Child Seat
Positioning (page 23).
On certain vehicles it is not possible to open or remove the left-hand
compartment cover. See Storage compartments (page 140). For group 0 or
0+ child seats, this does not prevent the support leg being located on the cover.
However, if any larger child seat that you may wish to use requires you to remove the cover and extend the leg to the base of the compartment, either select a different seating position in the vehicle or a different child seat.
When using a forward facing child seat on a second or third row seat, always remove the head restraint
from that seat. See Head Restraints
(page 126).
When using a child seat with a safety belt, make sure that the safety belt is not slack or twisted.
Note: When using a child seat on a front seat, always adjust the front passenger seat to its fully rearwards position. If it proves difficult to tighten the lap section of the safety belt without slack remaining, adjust the seatback to the fully upright position
and raise the height of the seat. See
Manual Seats
(page 127). See Power
Seats (page 128).
Note: When using a child seat on a second row seat, adjust the second row seat to the
most practical position for the driver. See
Rear Seats (page 130).

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS
WARNING
Use an anti-rotation device when using the ISOFIX system. We recommend the use of a top tether or support leg.
Note: When you are purchasing an ISOFIX restraint, make sure that you know the correct mass group and ISOFIX size class
for the intended seating locations. See
Child Seat Positioning (page 23).
Your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX anchor points that accommodate universally approved ISOFIX child restraints.
The ISOFIX system comprises two rigid attachment arms on the child restraint that attach to anchor points on the outboard rear seats, where the cushion and backrest meet. Tether anchor points are fitted behind the outboard rear seats for child restraints with a top tether.
