FORD 2002 Focus v.2 - Manual (Page 162)

Seating and Safety Restraints
162
Always transport children
12 years old and under in
the back seat and always use
appropriate child restraints.
Accident statistics indicate that
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats.
Do not leave children,
unreliable adults, or pets
unattended in your vehicle.
Safety belts and seats can
become hot in a vehicle that
has been closed up in sunny
weather. They could burn a small
child. Check seat covers and
buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.
