When to use the automatic locking mode This mode should be used any time a child safety seat (except a booster) is installed in the vehicle. Children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in the rear seat whenever possible. Refer to Safety restraints for children or Safety seats for children later in this chapter .
How to disengage the automatic locking mode W ARNING: Ford Motor Company recommends that all passenger safety belt assemblies and attaching hardware should be inspected by an authorized dealer after any collision to verify that the ⬙ automatic locking retractor ⬙ feature for child seats is still working properly .
Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on the label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too short for you when fully extended.
Both the driver’ s and passenger’ s safety belt usages are monitored and either may activate the Belt-Minder 威 feature. The warnings are the same for the driver and the front passenger .
The following are reasons most often given for not wearing safety belts (All statistics based on U.S. data): Reasons given... Consider ... “Crashes are rare events” 36700 crashes occur every day . The more we drive, the more we are exposed to “rare” events, even for good drivers.
W ARNING: Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt or insert a latchplate into the buckle to avoid the Belt-Minder 威 chime. T o do so may adversely affect the performance of the vehicle’ s airbag system.
1. T urn the ignition switch to the on position. DO NOT ST ART THE ENGINE. 2. W ait until the safety belt warning light turns off (Approximately one minute). • Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt warning light turns off.
Important SRS precautions The SRS is designed to work with the safety belt to help protect the driver and right front passenger from certain upper body injuries.
W ARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair , or modify the steering column, its adaptive module, or its fuses. See your authorized dealer . T o properly position yourself away from the airbag: • Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably .
Children and airbags Children must always be properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of injury in a collision.
How does the airbag supplemental restraint system work? The airbag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains longitudinal deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit that initiates airbag inflation.
The SRS consists of the following items: • Driver and passenger airbag modules (which include the inflators and airbags) • safety belt pretensioners • Front passenger sensing system • “Passenger airbag off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp.
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).
The front passenger sensing system is designed to enable (may inflate) the front passenger’ s frontal airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger seat.
W ARNING: Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion and affect the decision of the front passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor .
W ARNING: T o reduce the risk of possible serious injury: Do not stow objects in seat back map pocket (if equipped) or hang objects off seat back if a child is in the front passenger seat. Do not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between the seat and the center console (if equipped).
W ARNING: An out of position front center occupant could affect the decision of the front passenger sensing system. If it is necessary to modify an advanced front airbag system to accommodate a person.
W ARNING: 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. W ARNING: Do not lean your head on the door . The side airbag could injure you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.
The side airbags are fitted on the outboard side of the seatbacks of the front seats. In certain lateral collisions, the airbag on the side affected by the collision will be inflated. 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/or light are repaired. If any of these things happen, even intermittently , have the SRS serviced at your authorized dealer immediately . Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision.
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).
Recommendations for attaching child safety restraints for children Restraint T ype Child W eight Use any attachment method as indicated below by “X” LA TCH (lower anchors and top tether anchor) LA.
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.

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.
T wo plastic LA TCH guides can be obtained at no charge from an authorized dealer . They snap onto the LA TCH lower anchors in the seat to help attach a child seat with rigid attachments. The guides hold the seat trim away to expose the anchor and make it easier to attach some child seats.
Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor , if applicable. T ug the child seat from side to side and forward and back where it is secured to the vehicle. The seat should move less than one inch when you do this for a proper installation.
Perform the following steps to install a child safety seat to the tether anchor: 1. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat. For vehicles with adjustable head restraints, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts, otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the seatback.
Child booster seats The belt-positioning booster (booster seat) is used to improve the fit of the vehicle safety belt. Children outgrow a typical child seat (e.g., convertible or toddler seat) when they weigh about 40 lb (18 kg) and are around four (4) years of age.
When children should use booster seats Children need to use booster seats from the time they outgrow the toddler seat until they are big enough for the vehicle seat and lap/shoulder belt to fit properly . Generally this is when they reach a height of at least 4 feet 9 inches (1.
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 .
Move a child to a different seating location if the shoulder belt does not stay positioned on the shoulder during use. Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat.
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.
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. It is normal for tires to heat up and the air pressure inside to go up as you drive.
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.
Safety practices Driving habits have a great deal to do with your tire mileage and safety . • Observe posted speed limits • A void fast starts, stops and turns • A void potholes and objects on the road • 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.
The tires should also be balanced periodically . An unbalanced tire and wheel assembly may result in irregular tire wear . Tire rotation Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated i.

SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS W ARNING: Snow tires must be the same size, load index, speed rating as those originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover , personal injury and death.
your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining your vehicle’ s weight ratings, with or without a trailer , from the vehicle’ s T ire Label or Safety Compliance Certification Label: Base Curb W eight – is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment.
Example only: 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. GA WR (Gross Axle W eight Rating) – is the maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear).
• 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.
