Front passenger sensing system For airbags to do their job they must inflate with great force, and this force can pose a potentially deadly risk to occupants that are very close to the airbag when it begins to inflate.
Front safety belt pretensioners The safety belt pretensioners at the front outboard seating positions are designed to tighten the safety belts firmly against the occupant’ s body during frontal collisions and in side collisions. This helps increase the effectiveness of the safety belts.
Safety restraints precautions W ARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips. W ARNING: T o reduce the risk of injury , make sure children sit in a rear seating position where they can be properly restrained.
W ARNING: 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. W ARNING: Front and rear seat occupants, including pregnant women, should wear safety belts for optimum protection in an accident.
Restraint of pregnant women W ARNING: Always ride and drive with your seatback upright and the safety belt properly fastened. The lap portion of the safety belt should fit snug and be positioned low across the hips. The shoulder portion of the safety belt should be positioned across the chest.
Shorten and fasten the belt when not in use. Safety belt locking modes The front outboard and rear safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts.
How to use the automatic locking mode • Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. • Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is pulled out. • Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
W ARNING: After any vehicle collision, the safety belt system at all passenger seating positions must be checked by an authorized dealer to verify that the “automatic locking retractor” feature for child seats is still functioning properly . In addition, all safety belts should be checked for proper function.

Belt-Minder 姞 The Belt-Minder 威 feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature provides additional reminders by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning light in the instrument cluster when the driver’ s and front passenger’ s safety belt is unbuckled.
If... Then... The driver’ s or front passenger’ s safety belt becomes unbuckled for approximately one minute while the vehicle is traveling at least 3 mph (5 km/h) and more than 1-2 minutes have elapsed since the ignition switch has been turned to on.
Reasons given... Consider ... “T raffic is light” Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in single-vehicle crashes, many when no other vehicles are around. “Belts wrinkle my clothes” Possibly , but a serious crash can do much more than wrinkle your clothes, particularly if you are unbelted.
Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder 姞 feature The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder 威 are deactivated/activated independently . When deactivating/activating one seating position, do not buckle the other position as this will terminate the process.
4. W ithin approximately seven seconds of the light turning off, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt. • This will disable the Belt-Minder 威 feature for that seating position if it is currently enabled. As confirmation, the restraint system warning light will flash four times per second for three seconds.
W ARNING: All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver , should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is provided. W ARNING: When possible, all children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position.
W ARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair , or modify the airbag supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. See your authorized dealer . W ARNING: The front passenger airbag is not designed to offer protection to an occupant in the center front seating position.
W ARNING: Front seating positions only: If seating two adults and a child, Ford recommends properly restraining the child in the center front seating position, but only if doing so will not interfere with driving the vehicle.
The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After airbag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (e.
sensors), the system wiring, the airbag system readiness light, the airbag backup power and the airbag ignitors. W ARNING: Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. W ARNING: If the air bag has deployed, the air bag will not function again and must be replaced immediately .
Note: When the passenger airbag off light is illuminated, the passenger (seat mounted) side airbag may be disabled to avoid the risk of airbag deployment injuries.
• Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person and enable the passenger’ s frontal airbag. • If the indicator lamp remains lit even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat.
Objects Pass Airbag Off Indicator Lamp Passenger Airbag Small (i.e. three-ring binder , small purse, bottled water) Unlit Disabled Medium (i.e. heavy briefcase, fully packed luggage) Lit Disabled Empt.
In case there is a problem with the front passenger sensing system, the airbag readiness lamp in the instrument cluster will stay lit. If the airbag readiness lamp is lit, do the following: The driver and/or adult passengers should check for any objects that may be lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat.
Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer to the W arning lights and chimes section in the Instrument Cluster chapter . Routine maintenance of the airbag is not required.
W ARNING: All occupants of the vehicle should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS is provided. How does the side airbag system work? The design and development of the side airbag sy.
to inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over , rear -impact, frontal or near -frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration. W ARNING: Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation.
SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety restraints for children. Also see Airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) in this chapter for special instructions about using airbags.
Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children Child size, height, weight, or age Recommended restraint type Infants or toddlers Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generally age four or younger) Use a child safety seat (sometimes called an infant carrier , convertible seat, or toddler seat).
• When possible, always properly restrain children twelve (12) years of age and under in a rear seating position of your vehicle. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in a front seating position.
W ARNING: Always carefully follow the instructions and warnings provided by the manufacturer of any child restraint to determine if the restraint device is appropriate for your child’ s size, height, weight, or age.
training to ensure that all children ages 0 to 16 are properly restrained in the correct restraint system. Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety T echnician (CPST) and your pediatrician to make sure your seat is appropriate for your child and properly installed in the vehicle.
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NEVER place a rear -facing child seat in front of an active airbag. If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the vehicle seat all the way back. Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position whenever possible.
1. Position the child safety seat in a seat with a combination lap and shoulder belt. 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.
4. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest to the direction the tongue is coming from) for that seating position until you hear a snap and feel the latch engage.
9. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat is equipped). Refer to Attaching child safety seats with tether straps later in this chapter . 10. Before placing the child in the seat, forcibly move the seat forward and back to make sure the seat is securely held in place.
1. Lengthen the lap belt. T o lengthen the belt, hold the tongue so that its bottom is perpendicular to the direction of webbing while sliding the tongue up the webbing. 2. Place the child safety seat in the center seating position. 3. Route the tongue and webbing through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions.
LA TCH compatible child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to the two lower anchors at the LA TCH equipped seating positions in your vehicle. This type of attachment method eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach the child seat, however the safety belt can still be used to attach the child seat.
W ARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint, and depending on the child restraint design, you may block access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LA TCH lower anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable.
Attaching child safety seats with tether straps Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring point called the top tether anchor . T ether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats.
2. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position. 3. Open the tether anchor cover . 4. 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.
Although the lap/shoulder belt will provide some protection, children who have outgrown a typical child seat are still too small for lap/shoulder belts to fit properly , and wearing an improperly fitted vehicle safety belt could increase the risk of serious injury in a crash.
T ypes of booster seats There are generally two types of belt-positioning booster seats: backless and high back. Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle lap/shoulder belt. • Backless booster seats If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield.
Children and booster seats vary 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 .
Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat. W ARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder belt under a child’ s arm or behind the back because it reduces the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision.
INFORMA TION ABOUT UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING T ire Quality Grades apply to new pneumatic passenger car tires. The Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
W ARNING: 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.
W ARNING: Under -inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation or “blowout”, with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury . Under -inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance, resulting in heat buildup and internal damage to the tire.
when you get to the pump. It is normal for tires to heat up and the air pressure inside to go up as you drive. 2. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire, then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve and measure the pressure. 3. Add enough air to reach the recommended air pressure.
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.
U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN) Both U.S. and Canada Federal regulations require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides a U.
W ARNING: When mounting replacement tires and wheels, you should not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire to set the beads without additional precautions listed below . If the beads do not seat at the maximum pressure indicated, re-lubricate and try again.
• Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against a curb when parking W ARNING: If your vehicle is stuck in snow , mud, sand, etc., do not rapidly spin the tires; spinning the tires can tear the tire and cause an explosion. A tire can explode in as little as three to five seconds.
• Rear -wheel drive (RWD) vehicles/Four -wheel drive (4WD)/All-wheel drive (A WD) vehicles (front tires at top of diagram) Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires.

V EHICLE LOADING – WITH AND WITHOUT A TRAILER This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle and/or trailer , to keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability , with or without a trailer . Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle design performance.
W ARNING: The appropriate loading capacity of your vehicle can be limited either by volume capacity (how much space is available) or by payload capacity (how much weight the vehicle should carry). Once you have reached the maximum payload of your vehicle, do not add more cargo, even if there is space available.
Cargo W eight – includes all weight added to the Base Curb W eight, including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, trailer tongue load weight is also part of cargo weight. GA W (Gross Axle W eight) – is the total weight placed on each axle (front and rear) – including vehicle curb weight and all payload.
• Example only: W ARNING: Exceeding the Safety Compliance Certification Label vehicle weight rating limits could result in substandard vehicle handling or performance, engine, transmission and/or structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, loss of control and personal injury .
GCW (Gross Combined W eight) – is the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW) plus the weight of the fully loaded trailer . GCWR (Gross Combined W eight Rating) – is the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle and the loaded trailer – including all cargo and passengers – that the vehicle can handle without risking damage.
Steps for determining the correct load limit: 1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’ s placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
calculation would be: 635 kg - (2 x 99 kg) - (12 x 45 kg) = 635 - 198 - 540 = -103 kg. Y ou will need to reduce the load weight by at least 240 lb. (104 kg). If you remove 3-100 lb. (45 kg) cement bags, then the load calculation would be: 1,400 - (2 x 220) - (9 x 100) = 1,400 - 440 - 900 = 60 lb.
Safety chains Always connect the trailer’ s safety chains to the frame or hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. T o connect the trailer’ s safety chains, cross the chains under the trailer tongue and allow slack for turning corners. If you use a rental trailer , follow the instructions that the rental agency gives to you.
Servicing after towing If you tow a trailer for long distances, your vehicle will require more frequent service intervals. Refer to Special operating conditions in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide chapter . T railer towing tips • Practice turning, stopping and backing-up before starting on a trip to get the feel of the vehicle-trailer combination.
Exceeding these limits may allow water to enter vehicle components: • Causing internal damage to the components. • Affecting driveability , emissions and reliability . Replace the rear axle lubricant any time the axle has been submerged in water .
