  Service Precautions  
 

WARNING: ALL BUILT-IN CHILD RESTRAINTS, INCLUDING SEATS, BUCKLES, RETRACTORS, SEAT LATCHES, INTERLOCKS, AND ATTACHING HARDWARE SHOULD BE INSPECTED BY A QUALIFIED DEALER TECHNICIAN AFTER ANY COLLISION. IF THE CHILD SEAT WAS IN USE DURING A COLLISION, FORD RECOMMENDS REPLACING IT. HOWEVER, IF THE COLLISION WAS MINOR AND A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN FINDS THAT THE CHILD RESTRAINTS DO NOT SHOW DAMAGE AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. BUILT-IN CHILD SEATS NOT IN USE DURING A COLLISION SHOULD ALSO BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF EITHER DAMAGE OR IMPROPER OPERATION IS NOTED.
