Seating and Safety Restraints REAR SEATS If needed, when installing some high back child restraints, the head restraints of the second row seating positions can be removed. Insert a thin pointed object, such as a paper clip or pushpin, into the hole of each head restraint guide and while lifting up remove the head restraint. Store the head restraint in a secure location in the vehicle. To re-install the head restraint, line the posts up in the holes on the seat back with the head restraint strap facing the outside of the vehicle and push down until the head restraint locks into place. Lift gently to ensure it is locked into place. Refer to Safety seats for children later in this chapter. WARNING: If the head restraint has been removed from a seating position to accommodate a high back child restraint, the head restraint must be re-installed prior to use of the seat by any other occupant in order to reduce the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision. 141 2009 07+ Explorer Sport Trac (esp) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
