allows your Personal Safety System 娂 to distinguish between different levels of crash severity and modify the deployment strategy of the dual-stage airbags and safety belt pretensioners.
Front safety belt usage sensors The front safety belt usage sensors detect whether or not the driver and front outboard passenger safety belts are fastened. This information allows your Personal Safety System 娂 to tailor the airbag deployment and safety belt pretensioner activation depending upon safety belt usage.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently , have the Personal Safety System 娂 serviced at an authorized dealer immediately . Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision. Safety belt precautions Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.

hardware, should be inspected after a collision. Ford Motor Company recommends that all safety belt assemblies in use in vehicles involved in a collision be replaced. However , if the collision was minor and an authorized dealer finds that the belts do not show damage and continue to operate properly , they do not need to be replaced.
Important supplemental restraint system precautions Airbags DO NOT inflate slowly or gently and the risk of injury from a deploying airbag is greatest close to the trim covering the airbag module.
Do not attempt to service, repair , or modify the airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) or its fuses. See your authorized dealer . Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of the vehicle (including frame, bumper , front end body structure and tow hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system, increasing the risk of injury .
How does the safety belt pretensioner and airbag supplemental restraint system work? The safety belt pretensioner and airbag SRS are designed to activate when the vehicle sustains longitudinal deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit that initiates pretensioner activation and airbag inflation.
are not properly restrained or are otherwise out of position at the time of airbag deployment. Thus, it is extremely important that occupants be properly restrained as far away from the airbag module as possible while maintaining vehicle control. Several air bag system components get hot after inflation.
The front passenger sensing system works with sensors that are part of the front passenger’ s seat and safety belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the front passenger’ s frontal airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate).
• When the front passenger sensing system disables (will not inflate) the front passenger frontal airbag, the indicator lamp will illuminate and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal airbag is disabled.
After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on safety belts, it’ s very important that they continue to sit properly . A properly seated occupant sits upright, leaning against the seat back, and centered on the seat cushion, with their feet comfortably extended on the floor .
• Objects placed on the occupant’ s lap • Cargo interference with the seat • Other passengers pushing or pulling on the seat • Rear passenger feet and knees resting or pushing on the seat The conditions listed above may cause the weight of a properly seated occupant to be incorrectly interpreted by the front passenger sensing system.
• If the airbag readiness light remains illuminated, this may or may/not be a problem due to the front passenger sensing system. DO NOT attempt to repair or service the system; take your vehicle immediately to an authorized dealer .
Do not use accessory seat covers. The use of accessory seat covers may prevent the deployment of the side airbags and increase the risk of injury in an accident. Do not lean your head on the door . The side airbag could injure you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.
the collision will be inflated, even if the respective seat is not occupied. The airbag was designed to inflate between the door panel and occupant to further enhance the protection provided occupants in side impact collisions.
• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat periodically until the problem and light are repaired. If any of these things happen, even intermittently , have the SRS serviced at an authorized dealer immediately . Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision.
Do not attempt to service, repair , or modify the side air curtain system, its fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the headliner on a vehicle containing a side air curtain.
How does the side air curtain system work? The design and development of the side air curtain system included recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag T echnical W orking Group.
The side air curtain system SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit that initiates air curtain and seat-mounted side airbag inflation.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently , have the SRS serviced at an authorized dealer immediately . Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision. Disposal of airbags and airbag equipped vehicles (including pretensioners) See your authorized dealer .
neck, the child should wear the lap and shoulder belt. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt fit. Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets unattended in your vehicle. Child booster seats Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh 40 lb.
T ypes of booster seats There are two types of belt-positioning booster seats: • Those that are backless. If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield and use the lap/shoulder belt.
Children and booster seats vary widely in size and shape. Choose a booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder .
Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child. They can slide around and increase the likelihood of injury or death in a collision. SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN Child and infant or child safety seats Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight of the child.
and anchors, refer to Attaching safety seats with tether straps in this chapter .

2. Pull down on the shoulder belt and then grasp the shoulder belt and lap belt together . 3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together , route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions.
5. T o put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull downward until all of the belt is pulled out and a click is heard. 6. Allow the belt to retract. The belt will click as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.
Attaching child safety seats with tether straps Most new forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which goes over the back of the seat and hooks to an anchoring point. T ether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats.
4. Open the tether anchor cover . 5. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as shown. If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly , the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision. 6. Install the child safety seat tightly using the LA TCH anchors or safety belts.
Y our vehicle has LA TCH anchors for child seat installation at the seating positions marked with the child seat symbol. The anchors at the center of the rear seat are further apart than the sets of lower anchors for child seat installation at other seating positions.

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics.
Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire’ s load carrying capability . • kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure.
gauges may be inaccurate. Ford Motor Company recommends the use of a digital or dial-type tire pressure gauge rather than a stick-type tire pressure gauge. Use the recommended cold inflation pressure for optimum tire performance and wear . Under -inflation or over -inflation may cause uneven treadwear patterns.
T o check the pressure in your tire(s): 1. Make sure the tires are cool, meaning they are not hot from driving even a mile. Note: If you have to drive a distance to get air for your tire(s), check and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air pressure when you get to the pump.
Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear abnormally . Inspect all your tires, including the spare, frequently , and replace them if one or more of the following conditions ex.
This begins with the letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code designating where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built.
Never spin the tires in excess of the 35 mph (55 km/h) point indicated on the speedometer . Highway hazards No matter how carefully you drive there’ s always the possibility that you may eventually have a flat tire on the highway . Drive slowly to the closest safe area out of traffic.
• Front Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicles (front tires at top of diagram) Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires. Note: If your tires show uneven wear ask an authorized dealer to check for and correct any wheel misalignment, tire imbalance or mechanical problem involved before tire rotation.
Information on “P” type tires P215/65R15 95H is an example of a tire size, load index and speed rating. The definitions of these items are listed below . (Note that the tire size, load index and speed rating for your vehicle may be different from this example.
Note: Y ou may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by federal law . Letter rating Speed rating - mph (km/h) M 81 mph (130 km/h) N 87 mph (140 km/h) Q 99 mph (159 km/h) R .
12. T readwear , T raction and T emperature Grades • T readwear: The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course.
Additional information contained on the tire sidewall for “L T” type tires “L T” type tires have some additional information beyond those of “P” type tires; these differences are described below: 1. LT: Indicates a tire, designated by the T ire and Rim Association (T&RA), that is intended for service on light trucks.

SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS Snow tires must be the same size and grade as the tires you currently have on your vehicle. The tires on your vehicle have all weather treads to provide traction in rain and snow . However , in some climates, you may need to use snow tires and chains.
V EHICLE LOADING This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle to keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability .
Cargo W eight – includes all weight added to the Base Curb W eight, including cargo and optional equipment. GA W (Gross Axle W eight) – is the total weight placed on each axle (front and rear) – including vehicle curb weight and all payload.
located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’ s door . The total load on each axle must never exceed its GA WR. Exceeding the Safety Compliance Certification Label axle weight rating limits cou.
Do not exceed the GVWR or the GA WR specified on the Safety Compliance Certification Label. Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the originals because they may lower the vehicle’ s GVWR and GA WR limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do not increase the GVWR and GA WR limitations.
• A final example for your vehicle with 1400 lb. (635 kg) of cargo and luggage capacity . Y ou and one of your friends decide to pick up cement from the local home improvement store to finish that patio you have been planning for the past 2 years. Measuring the inside of the vehicle with the rear seat folded down, you have room for 12-100 lb.
Front Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicles: Do not tow your Front Wheel Drive vehicle with the front drive wheels on the ground as transaxle damage may occur . It is recommended to tow your vehicle with the front drive wheels on a dolly or use a car -hauling trailer .
STARTING Positions of the ignition 1. LOCK, locks the automatic transaxle gearshift lever and allows key removal. This position also shuts the engine and all electrical accessories off without locking the steering wheel. T o lock the steering wheel, remove the key then turn the steering wheel.
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground cover . The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire. Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic.
• Make sure the gearshift is in P (Park). If starting a vehicle with a manual transmission: • Make sure the parking brake is set. • Push the clutch pedal to the floor . 3. T urn the key to 3 (RUN) without turning the key to 4 (ST ART). Some warning lights will briefly illuminate.

Excessive cranking could damage the starter . Note: If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try , turn the key to LOCK, wait 10 seconds and try again.
BRAKES Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out and should be inspected by an authorized dealer . If the vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, the vehicle should be inspected by an authorized dealer .
Using ABS When hard braking is required, apply continuous force on the brake pedal; do not pump the brake pedal since this will reduce the effectiveness of the ABS and will increase your vehicle’ s stopping distance. The ABS will be activated immediately , allowing you to retain full steering control during hard braking and on slippery surfaces.
T RACTION ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED) The T raction Assist system helps you maintain the stability and steerability of your vehicle, especially on slippery road surfaces such as snow- or ice-covered roads and gravel roads. The system will allow your vehicle to make better use of available traction in these conditions.
STEERING T o prevent damage to the power steering system: • Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running. • Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level (below the MIN mark on the reservoir).
If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with ignition in the RUN position and the brake pedal depressed: 1. Apply the parking brake, turn ignition key to LOCK, then remove the key . 2. Using a screwdriver (or similar tool), remove the protective cover to the interlock release access hole on the console.
Understanding the gearshift positions of the 5–speed automatic transaxle (if equipped) P (Park) This position locks the transaxle and prevents the front wheels from turning.
N (Neutral) W ith the gearshift lever in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and is free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position. D (Drive) The normal driving position for the best fuel economy . T ransaxle operates in gears one through five.
T o put your vehicle in P (Park): • Come to a complete stop • Move the gearshift lever and securely latch it in P (Park) Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is latched in P (Park). T urn the ignition to the LOCK position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED) Using the clutch The manual transaxle has a starter interlock that prevents cranking the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. T o start the vehicle: 1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
Reverse 1. Make sure that your vehicle is at a complete stop before you shift into R (Reverse). Failure to do so may damage the transmission. 2. Move the gearshift lever into the neutral position and wait at least three seconds before shifting into R (Reverse).
