FORD 2003 Mustang v.4 - Manual (Page 88)

• Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating
position (the buckle closest to the direction the
tongue is coming from).
• Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until
you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the
tongue is securely fastened in the buckle.
• Keep the buckle release button pointing up and
away from the safety seat, with the tongue
between the child seat and the release button, to
prevent accidental unbuckling.
• Place seat back in upright position.
• Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode.
Refer to Automatic locking mode (passenger
side front and outboard rear seating positions)
(if equipped) section in this chapter.
Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat
having a top tether strap. Install the child safety seat
in a seating position with a tether anchor. For more
information on top tether straps, refer to Attaching
child safety seats with tether straps in this chapter.
Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s
instructions included with the safety seat
you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and
use the safety seat properly, the child may be
injured in a sudden stop or collision.
Rear-facing child seats or infant carriers
should never be placed in the front seats.
