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 gearshift is in P (Park) • The ignition switch is in the off position • The driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled 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.
AIRBAG SUPPLEMENT AL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) The passenger airbag cover is a seamless design so that you cannot see the boundary around its door . The shaded area in the illustration represents the passenger airbag cover . W ARNING: Do not put anything on or over the airbag cover .
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.
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.
• a readiness light and tone • and the electrical wiring which connects the components • Side curtain airbag system. Refer to Side curtain airbag system later in this chapter . • Front passenger sensing system. Refer to Front passenger sensing system later in this chapter .
The front passenger sensing system will turn off the passenger seat side airbag if: • the seat is empty and safety belt is unbuckled. • a child or a small person occupies the front passenger seat and the child or small person 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.
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 light in the instrument cluster will stay lit. If the airbag readiness light 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.
automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag T echnical W orking Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of injuries related to the deployment of side airbags (including side air curtain systems).
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 . If the airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
W ARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the side air curtain cover . W ARNING: Do not lean your head on the door . The side airbag could injure you as it deploys from the seat.
• The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used for the front airbags. • T wo crash sensors located under the outboard side of the front seats, attached near the floor . • T wo crash sensors located at the base of the “C” pillars above the wheel house.
W ARNING: If the side air curtain has deployed, the air curtain will not function again. The side air curtain system (including the A, B and C pillar trim and headliner) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer . If the air curtain is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
The feature will continue to operate until the vehicle runs out of power . Disposal of airbags and airbag equipped vehicles (including pretensioners) Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Airbags MUST BE disposed of by qualified personnel.
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.
Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position whenever possible. If all children cannot be seated and restrained properly in a rear seating position, properly restrain the largest child in the front seat.
T o reinstall the head restraint, line the posts up in the holes on the seat back with the head restraint strap facing the outside of the vehicle and push down until the head restraint locks into place. Lift gently to ensure it is locked into place. Refer to Rear adjustable head restraints earlier in this chapter for more information.
• Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button, to help prevent accidental unbuckling. • Place vehicle seat back in upright position. • Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode.
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. 6. Allow the belt to retract to remove slack. The belt will click as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.
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. T o check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to side and forward and back. There should be no more than 1 inch (2.
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 seat back. Follow the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions to properly install a child seat with LA TCH attachments.
W ARNING: The standardized spacing for LA TCH lower anchors is 280 mm (11 inches) center to center . Do not use LA TCH lower anchors for the center seating position unless the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions permit and specify using anchors spaced at least as far apart as those in this vehicle.
The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions (shown from top view): Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor .
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. 5. T ighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the manufacturer’ s instructions.
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 .
The importance of shoulder belts Using a booster without a shoulder belt increases the risk of a child’ s head hitting a hard surface in a collision. For this reason, you should never use a booster seat with a lap belt only . It is generally best to use a booster seat with lap/shoulder belts in the back 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.
• 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.
• Front Wheel Drive (FWD)/All Wheel Drive (A WD) 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.

How to use the engine block heater Ensure the receptacle terminals are clean and dry prior to use. T o clean them, use a dry cloth. Depending on the type of factory installed equipment, your engine block heater will use .4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours of energy per hour of use.
ABS warning lamp The ABS lamp in the instrument cluster momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned on. If the light does not illuminate during start up, remains on or flashes, the ABS may be disabled and may need to be serviced. Even when the ABS is disabled and the ABS light is on, normal braking is still effective.
W ARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park). W ARNING: If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly . See your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Y our vehicle is equipped with the AdvanceT rac 威 system. The AdvanceT rac 威 system provides the following stability enhancement features for certain driving situations: • T raction Control (TCS), which functions to help avoid drive-wheel spin and loss of traction.
• The brake pedal may feel stiffer than usual. T raction Control (TCS) T raction Control is a driver aid feature that helps your vehicle maintain traction of the wheels, typically when driving on slippery and/or hilly road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel spin.
• Changing lanes on a snow-rutted road • Entering a snow-free road from a snow-covered side street, or vice versa • Entering a paved road from a gravel road, or vice versa • Cornering while towing a heavily loaded trailer (refer to T railer towing in the T ires, Wheels and Loading chapter).

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for: • an improperly inflated tire • uneven tire wear • loose or worn suspension components • loose or worn steering components • improper steering alignment A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering seem to wander/pull.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION Understanding the gearshift positions of the 6–speed automatic transmission P (Park) This position locks the transmission 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) with Overdrive The normal driving position for the best fuel economy . T ransmission operates in gears one through six.
Overdrive cancel with grade assist is designed to provide optimal gear selection in hilly terrain or mountainous areas. It is recommended that you return to O/D (overdrive mode) on flat terrain to provide the best fuel economy and transmission function.
T o manually downshift the transmission: 1. Move the gearshift lever forward to (-). 2. Release the lever , and it will return to the M position. The transmission will downshift. T o manually upshift the transmission: 1. Move the gearshift lever rearward into (+).
REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The Reverse Sensing System (RSS) sounds a tone to warn the driver of obstacles near the rear bumper when the R (Reverse) is selected and the vehicle is moving at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The system is not effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects.
The RSS detects obstacles up to six feet (two meters) from the rear bumper with a decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper , (refer to the figures for approximate zone coverage areas). As you move closer to the obstacle, the rate of the tone increases.
REARVIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The rear -view camera system, located on the trunk, provides a video image which appears on the navigation screen of the area behind the vehicle. It adds assistance to the driver while reversing or reverse parking the vehicle.
Note: If the camera system image is not clear or seems distorted, it may be covered with water droplets, snow , mud or any other substance. If this occurs, clean the camera lens before using the camera system.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM™ (BLIS™) WITH CROSS T RAFFIC ALERT (CT A) (IF EQUIPPED) The BLIS™ system 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™ 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 cross traffic alert 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™ indicator found on the exterior mirror on the side of the approaching vehicle.
The Cross T raffic Alert system detects vehicles approaching up to 45 feet (14 meters) away (approximately the width of five parking spaces). Coverage decreases when vehicles and objects in close proximity block the Cross T raffic Alert sensors (refer to figure for approximate zone coverage areas [sensor obstructed to vehicle on left] ).
Cross T raffic coverage also decreases when parking at shallow angles (refer to figure for approximate zone coverage areas [sensor obstructed to 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.
BLIS™-CT A on/off and disable operation The BLIS™ and/or the CT A can be turned off via the message center . T urning the BLIS™ off does not turn off the CT A and visa versa. If either the BLIS™ or CT A is turned off, the systems will automatically turn back on at the next ignition key cycle.
Once blockage is removed, the system will require some driving time and detection of at least two vehicle object prior to realizing it is unblocked, or the driver can cycle the ignition key . If blocked and the ignition key is cycled, the system resets to unblocked.
ALL WHEEL DRIVE (A WD) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) Y our vehicle may be equipped with a full-time All Wheel Drive (A WD) system. The A WD system is an active system, meaning it not only responds to wheel slip between the front and rear axles but also has the ability to anticipate wheel slip and transfer torque to the rear wheels before slip occurs.
If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement • If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement, slow down, but avoid severe brake application, ease the vehicle back onto the pavement only after reducing your speed. Do not turn the steering wheel too sharply while returning to the road surface.
Emergency maneuvers • In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn must be made, remember to avoid “over -driving” your vehicle (i.e., turn the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid the emergency). Excessive steering will result in less vehicle control, not more.
When driving through water , determine the depth; avoid water higher than the bottom of the wheel rims (if possible) and proceed slowly . If the ignition system gets wet, the vehicle may stall. Once through water , always try the brakes. W et brakes do not stop the vehicle as effectively as dry brakes.
When climbing a steep slope or hill, start in a lower gear rather than downshifting to a lower gear from a higher gear once the ascent has started. This reduces strain on the engine and the possibility of stalling. If you do stall out, do not try to turnaround because you might roll over .
your vehicle is equipped with a four wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS), do not “pump” the brakes. Refer to the Brakes section of this chapter for additional information on the operation of the anti-lock brake system.
