• The electrical wiring for the airbags, crash sensor(s), safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt usage sensors, driver seat position sensor , front passenger sensing system, and indicator lights.
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. For some occupants, this occurs because they are initially sitting very close to the airbag.
limiting the load on the occupant. Refer to Energy management feature- front outboard section in this chapter . Determining if the Personal Safety System™ is operational The Personal Safety System 威 uses a warning light in the instrument cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system.
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: It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
2. T o unfasten, press the release button and remove the tongue from the buckle. All restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts. While you are fastened in the safety belt, the combination lap/shoulder belt adjusts to your movement.
Energy management feature — front outboard • This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management feature at the front seats to help further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.
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.
Front safety belt height adjustment Y our vehicle has safety belt height adjustments at the front outboard seating positions. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder . T o adjust the shoulder belt height, squeeze and hold the buttons on the side and slide the height adjuster up or down.
W ARNING: Do not use extensions to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso. Safety belt warning light and indicator chime The safety belt warning light illuminates in the instrument cluster and a chime sounds to remind the occupants to fasten their safety belts.
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.
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.
W ARNING: While the design allows you to deactivate your Belt-Minder 威 , this system is designed to improve your chances of being safely belted and surviving an accident. W e recommend you leave the Belt-Minder 威 system activated for yourself and others who may use the vehicle.
AIRBAG SUPPLEMENT AL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) The airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is designed to work in conjunction with the safety belts to help protect the driver and front outboard passenger from certain upper body injuries. The term “supplemental restraint” means the airbags are intended as a supplement to the safety belts.
W ARNING: Do not place any object between an occupant and an airbag or near any other airbag covering. The airbag may not inflate properly and might force an object into that person causing severe injury or death. The instrument panel grab handle should never be used for storage.
W ARNING: 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 . Do not modify the front end of the vehicle.

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 design and development of the side airbag 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.
W ARNING: Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. W ARNING: 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 .
W ARNING: All occupants of the vehicle including the driver should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS and Safety Canopy 威 System is provided. W ARNING: T o reduce risk of injury , do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the inflatable Safety Canopy 威 .
Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in the second or third row seats. The Safety Canopy 威 will not interfere with children restrained using a properly installed child or booster seat because it is designed to inflate downward from the headliner above the doors along the side window opening.
Any difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: • The readiness airbag light (same light as for front airbag system) will either flash or stay lit. • The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on.
W ARNING: All children are shaped differently . The Recommendations for Safety Restraints are based on probable child height, age and weight thresholds from NHTSA and other safety organizations or are the minimum requirements of law .
Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children Child size, height, weight, or age Recommended restraint type Larger children Children who have outgrown or no longer properly fit in a belt-positioning booster seat (generally children who are at least 4 feet 9 inches (1.
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. 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.
Y our vehicle has LA TCH lower anchors for child seat installation at the seating positions marked with the child seat symbol. The LA TCH anchors are located at the rear section of the rear seat between the cushion and seat back, below the locator symbols on the seatback.
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.
Combining safety belt and LA TCH lower anchors for attaching child safety seats When used in combination, either the safety belt or the LA TCH lower anchors may be attached first, provided a proper installation is achieved. Attach the tether strap afterward, if included with the child seat.
Once the child safety seat has been installed, using either the safety belt, the lower anchors of the LA TCH system, or both, you can attach the top tether strap. Perform the following steps to attach a child safety seat to the tether anchor: 1. Route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts.
• 3rd row Note : The cargo tie-downs at the rear edge of the floor are not tether anchors. 3. 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.
NOTICE TO CROSSOVER VEHICLE OWNERS Crossover vehicles handle differently than passenger cars in the various driving conditions that are encountered on streets, highways and off-road.
driving surfaces are relatively level, obstruction-free and otherwise similar to normal on-road driving conditions. Operating your vehicle under other than those conditions could subject the vehicle to excessive stress which might result in damage which is not covered under your warranty .
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.
• Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a heavier maximum load at 41 psi [43 psi (2.9 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire’ s load carrying capability .
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.

Be sure to check for heat anywhere in the electrical hookup once the system has been operating for approximately a half hour . • Finally , have the engine block heater system checked during your fall tune-up to be sure it’ s in good working order .
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 steering control during hard braking and on slippery surfaces.
The parking brake is not recommended to stop a moving vehicle. However , if the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop your vehicle in an emergency . Since the parking brake applies only the rear brakes, the vehicle’ s stopping distance will increase greatly and the handling of your vehicle will be adversely affected.
W ARNING: Remember that even advanced technology cannot defy the laws of physics. It’ s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.

Driving with blind spot mirrors Before a lane change, check the main mirror first, then check the blind spot mirror . If no vehicles are present in the blind spot mirror and the traffic in the adjacent lane is at a safe distance, signal that you are going to change lanes.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM (BLIS 姞 ) WITH CROSS T RAFFIC ALERT (CT A) (IF EQUIPPED) The BLIS 威 is a convenience feature that aids the driver in assessing whether a vehicle is within an area on either side of the vehicle extending rearward from the outside mirrors to approximately 10 feet (three meters) beyond the bumper .
The BLIS 威 will trigger the alert for vehicles that enter your blind zone from the rear or merge in to the blind zone from the side. V ehicles that you pass, or a vehicle that enters the blind zone from the front, will trigger the alert only after the vehicle is present in the blind zone for three seconds.
Cross traffic alert (CT A) system operation The CT A system warns the driver of approaching vehicles when R (Reverse) is selected and the vehicle is backing out of a front-in parking spot. It sounds a series of tones and flashes the BLIS 威 indicator found on the exterior mirror on the side of the approaching vehicle.
CT A coverage also decreases when parking at shallow angles (refer to figure for approximate zone coverage areas [sensor obstructed for vehicle on left] ). CT A detection limitations: Due to the nature of radar technology , there may be certain instances where vehicles entering and exiting the blind spot zones may not be detected.
CT A and Reverse Sensing System (RSS) interaction CT A works along with the Reverse Sensing System (RSS) (if equipped). Become familiar with the warning tones of both systems. BLIS 威 and/or CT A on/off and disable operation The BLIS 威 and/or the CT A can be turned off via the message center .
W ARNING: Just prior to the system recognizing a blocked condition and alerting the driver , the number of missed objects will increase. T o help avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS 威 as a replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors and looking over your shoulder before changing lanes.

For longer , trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and dry . Also, make certain the battery cables are always tightly fastened to the battery terminals. If you see any corrosion on the battery or terminals, remove the cables from the terminals and clean with a wire brush.
Because your vehicle’ s engine is electronically controlled by a computer , some control conditions are maintained by power from the battery . When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the engine must relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy for optimum driveability and performance.
ENGINE COOLANT Checking engine coolant The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the intervals listed in scheduled maintenance information. The coolant concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and distilled water , which equates to a freeze point of -34°F (-36°C).
Note: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine coolant/antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified function and vehicle location. Adding engine coolant When adding coolant, make sure it is a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water .
• Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant. These can be harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the engine coolant. For vehicles with overflow coolant systems with a non-pressurized cap on the coolant recovery system, add coolant to the coolant recovery reservoir when the engine is cool.
If you have to add more than 1.0 quart (1.0 liter) of engine coolant per month, have your authorized dealer check the engine cooling system. Y our cooling system may have a leak. Operating an engine with a low level of coolant can result in engine overheating and possible engine damage.
• Refer to the chart on the coolant container to ensure the coolant concentration in your vehicle will provide adequate protection at the temperatures in which you drive. V ehicles driven year -round in non-extreme climates should use a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system and engine protection.
2. Leave the engine running until the coolant temperature gauge needle moves away from the H range. After several minutes, if this does not happen, follow the remaining steps. 3. T urn the engine off and wait for it to cool before checking the coolant level.
When fail-safe mode is activated Y ou have limited engine power when in the fail-safe mode, so drive the vehicle with caution.
