SEATING Notes: Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to slide under the seat’ s safety belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the event of a collision. Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to reduce the risk of injury in a collision or sudden stop.
Adjusting the front manual seat 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 passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in a crash.
Lift the control to adjust the angle of the seatback. Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to slide under the seat’ s safety belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the event of a collision. Heated seats (if equipped) The heated seats switch is located on the center console.
Tip/slide front seat (3–door) Lift the control and fold the seatback forward. The seat can be slid forward to allow easier entry to the rear seats. Slide the seat back and fold back the seatback until it locks with a distinct click. The seatback will return to its original position.
Before returning the seatback to its original position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind the seatback. After returning the seatback to its original position, pull on the seatback to ensure that it has fully latched. An unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or collision.

response to vehicle movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner sharply , or the vehicle receives an impact of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce forward movement of the driver and passengers.
How to disengage the automatic locking mode 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 .
Position the safety belt height adjusters so that the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder . Failure to adjust the safety belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and increase the risk of injury in a collision.
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. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.
therefore potentially in need of a warning. T o avoid activating the BeltMinder 威 feature for objects placed in the front passenger seat, warnings will only be given to large front seat occupants as determined by the front passenger sensing system.
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.
Reasons given... Consider ... “I have an airbag” Airbags offer greater protection when used with safety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed to inflate in rear and side crashes or rollovers. “I’d rather be thrown clear” Not a good idea. People who are ejected are 40 times more likely to DIE.
• The ignition switch is in the OFF position • The driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled While the design allows you to deactivate your BeltMinder 威 ,t h i s system is designed to improve your chances of being safely belted and surviving an accident.
AIRBAG SUPPLEMENT AL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) The supplemental restraint system is designed to work with the safety belt to help protect the driver and right front passenger from certain upper body injuries.
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. Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back seat and always properly use appropriate child restraints.
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.
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.
• Front passenger sensing system. Refer to Front passenger sensing system. later in this chapter . • “Passenger airbag off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp. Refer to Front passenger sensing system. later in this chapter . • a readiness light and tone.
For side airbag equipped vehicles, the front passenger sensing system will turn off the passenger seat side airbag if: • the seat is empty and safety belt is unbuckled.
• Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the person’ s legs comfortably extended. • 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.

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.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: • The readiness light (same light for front and side airbag system) will either flash or stay lit. • The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on.
How does the side airbag system work? The side airbag system consists of the following: • An inflatable nylon bag (airbag) with a gas generator concealed behind the outboard bolster of the driver and front passenger seatbacks. • A special seat cover designed to allow airbag deployment.
Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. If the side airbag has deployed, the airbag will not function again. The side airbag system (including the seat) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer .
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. Important child restraint precautions Y ou are required by law to use safety restraints for children in the U.
Child booster seats Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh 40 lb. (18 kg) and are around 4 years of age. Although the lap/shoulder belt will provide some protection, these children are still too small for lap/shoulder belts to fit properly , which could increase the risk of serious injury in a crash.
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.

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.
• On Sedan’ s the anchors are located on the rear back panel. • For 3–door/5–door and W agon, the anchors are located on the back of the rear seat. 4. On a sedan, open the tether anchor cover . 5. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as shown.
7. T ighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the manufacturer’ s instructions. If the safety seat is not anchored properly , the risk of a child being injured in a collision greatly increases.
The LA TCH anchors are located on the rear section of the seat cushion, at the bottom of the seatback. Follow the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions to properly install safety seats with LA TCH attachments. Attach the LA TCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the appropriate locations shown.
INFORMA TION ABOUT UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING New vehicles are fitted with tires that have a rating on them called T ire Quality Grades. The Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
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.
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.
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.
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. This may further damage the flat tire, but your safety is more important.

IDENTIFYING COMPONENTS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT 2.0L/2.3L I4 Engines 1. W indshield washer fluid reservoir 2. Engine coolant reservoir 3. Engine oil filler cap 4. Brake/Clutch fluid reservoir 5. Power distribution box 6. Battery 7. Automatic transaxle fluid dipstick (if equipped) 8.
WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is low . In very cold weather , do not fill the reservoir completely . Only use a washer fluid that meets Ford specification WSB-M8B16-A2. Do not use any special washer fluid such as windshield water repellent type fluid or bug wash.
Poor wiper quality can be improved by cleaning the wiper blades and the windshield, refer to Windows and wiper blades in the Cleaning chapter . T o prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers.
Adding engine oil 1. Check the engine oil. For instructions, refer to Checking the engine oil in this chapter . 2. If the engine oil level is not within the normal range, add only certified engine oil of the recommended viscosity . Remove the engine oil filler cap and use a funnel to pour the engine oil into the opening.
Change your engine oil and filter according to the appropriate schedule listed in scheduled maintenance information. Ford production and aftermarket (Motorcraft) oil filters are designed for added engine protection and long life.
When lifting a plastic-cased battery , excessive pressure on the end walls could cause acid to flow through the vent caps, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or battery . Lift the battery with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been installed, the clock and the preset radio stations must be reset once the battery is reconnected. • Always dispose of automotive batteries in a responsible manner . Follow your local authorized standards for disposal.
When the engine is cold, check the level of the engine coolant in the reservoir . • The engine coolant should be at the “FULL COLD” level or within the “COLD FILL RANGE” as listed on the engine coolant reservoir (depending upon application).
Note: Use of Motorcraft Cooling System Stop Leak Pellets or an equivalent product meeting Ford specification WSS-M99B37-B6, may darken the color of Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant from yellow to golden tan.
3. Step back while the pressure releases. 4. When you are sure that all the pressure has been released, use the cloth to turn it counterclockwise and remove the cap. 5. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with the proper coolant mixture (see above), to within the “COLD FILL RANGE” or the “FULL COLD” level on the reservoir .
Severe climates If you drive in extremely cold climates (less than –34° F [–36° C ]): • It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration above 50%.
How fail-safe cooling works If the engine begins to overheat: • The engine coolant temperature gauge will move to the red (hot) area. • The “Check Engine” indicator light will illuminate. If the engine reaches a preset over -temperature condition, the engine will automatically switch to alternating cylinder operation.
FUEL FILTER For fuel filter replacement, see your authorized dealer . Refer to scheduled maintenance information for the appropriate intervals for changing the fuel filter .
• Automotive fuels can be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as gasoline is highly toxic and if swallowed can cause death or permanent injury . If fuel is swallowed, call a physician immediately , even if no symptoms are immediately apparent. The toxic effects of fuel may not be visible for hours.
Refueling Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause severe injuries. T o help avoid injuries to you and others: • Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island; • T urn off yo.
If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a fuel filler cap that is designed for your vehicle. The customer warranty may be void for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if the correct genuine Ford or Motorcraft fuel filler cap is not used.
Octane recommendations Y our vehicle is designed to use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. W e do not recommend the use of gasolines labeled as “Regular” that are sold with octane ratings of 86 or lower in high altitude areas.
If you have run out of fuel: • Y ou may need to cycle the ignition from OFF to ON several times after refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to the engine. On restarting, cranking time will take a few seconds longer than normal.
• Use the same filling rate setting (low — medium — high) each time the tank is filled. • Allow no more than two automatic click-offs when filling. • Always use fuel with the recommended octane rating. • Use a known quality gasoline, preferably a national brand.
• Idling for long periods of time (greater than one minute) may waste fuel. • Anticipate stopping; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop. • Sudden or hard accelerations may reduce fuel economy .
• Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures during the first 8–10 miles (12–16 km) of driving. • Driving on flat terrain offers improved fuel economy as compared to driving on hilly terrain. • T ransaxles give their best fuel economy when operated in the top cruise gear and with steady pressure on the gas pedal.
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.
3. The fuel cap may not have been securely tightened. See Fuel filler cap in this chapter . 4. Driving through deep water – the electrical system may be wet. These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank with good quality fuel, properly tightening the fuel cap or letting the electrical system dry out.
vehicle is not ready for I/M testing, the following driving cycle consisting of mixed city and highway driving may be performed: 15 minutes of steady driving on an expressway/highway followed by 20 minutes of stop-and-go driving with at least four 30 second idle periods.
BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID Brake and clutch systems are supplied from the same reservoir . The fluid level will drop slowly as the brakes wear , and will rise when the brake components are replaced. Fluid levels between the “MIN” and “MAX” lines are within the normal operating range; there is no need to add fluid.
6. Install the dipstick making sure it is fully seated in the filler tube. 7. Remove the dipstick and inspect the fluid level. The fluid should be in the designated areas for normal operating temperature.
If necessary , add fluid in 1/2 pint (250 mL) increments through the filler tube until the level is correct. If an overfill occurs, excess fluid should be removed by an authorized dealer . An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage.
