Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back seat and always properly use appropriate child restraints. National Highway T raffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 25 cm (10 inches) between an occupant’ s chest and the driver air bag module.
Children and air bags For additional important safety information, read all information on safety restraints in this guide. 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.
The air bags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After air bag 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.
• and the electrical wiring which connects the components. The diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits and the supplemental air bag electrical system warning (including the impact sensors), the system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the air bag back up power and the air bag ignitors.
Important child restraint precautions Y ou are required by law to use safety restraints for children in the U.S. and Canada. If small children ride in your vehicle (generally children who are four years old or younger and who weigh 18 kg [40 lbs] or less), you must put them in safety seats made especially for children.
A belt-positioning booster should be used if the shoulder belt rests in front of the child’ s face or neck, or if the lap belt does not fit snugly on both thighs, or if the thighs are too short to let the child sit all the way back on the seat cushion when the lower legs hang over the edge of the seat cushion.
• 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 prevent accidental unbuckling. • Place 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 extracted 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.

Automatic transmission fluid expands when warmed. T o obtain an accurate fluid check, drive the vehicle until it is at normal operating temperature (approximately 30 km [20 miles]).
The transmission fluid should be in this range if at normal operating temperature (66°C-77°C [150°F-170°F]). The transmission fluid should be in this range if at ambient temperature (10°C-35°C [50°F-95°F]). High fluid level Fluid levels above the safe range may result in transmission failure.
BATTERY Y our vehicle is equipped with a Motorcraft maintenance-free battery which normally does not require additional water during its life of service. However , for severe usage or in high temperature climates, check the battery electrolyte level. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for the service interval schedules.
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.
• Always dispose of automotive batteries in a responsible manner . Follow your local authorized standards for disposal. Call your local authorized recycling center to find out more about recycling automotive batteries.

T readwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
SERVICING YOUR TIRES Checking the tire pressure • Use an accurate tire pressure gauge. • Check the tire pressure when tires are cold, after the vehicle has been parked for at least one hour or has been driven less than 5 km (3 miles). • Adjust tire pressure to recommended specifications found on the T ire Pressure label.
• Five tire rotation (for vehicles with steel wheels and full size spare tires) Replacing the tires Replace the tires when the wear band is visible through the tire treads. When replacing full size tires, never mix radial bias-belted, or bias-type tires.
Failure to follow these precautions may adversely affect the handling of the vehicle and make it easier for the driver to lose control and roll over . T ires that are larger or smaller than your vehicle’ s original tires may also affect the accuracy of your speedometer .
The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap.
• A void getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could lead to permanent injury . • Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
When fueling your vehicle: 1. T urn the engine off. 2. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise 1/8 of a turn until it stops. 3. Pull to remove the cap from the fuel filler pipe. 4. T o install the cap, align the tabs on the cap with the notches on the filler pipe.
Octane recommendations Y our vehicle is designed to use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an (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. • Y our “Check Engine” indicator may come on. For more information on the “Check Engine” indicator , refer to the Instrumentation chapter .
For consistent results when filling the fuel tank: • Use the same filling rate setting (low — medium — high) each time the tank is filled. • Allow three automatic click-offs when filling. • Always use fuel with the recommended octane rating.
Habits • Smooth, moderate operation can yield up to 10% savings in fuel. • Steady speeds without stopping will usually give the best fuel economy . • Idling for long periods of time (greater than one minute) may waste fuel. • Anticipate stopping; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop.
• Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy (approximately 0.4 km/L [1 mpg] is lost for every 180 kg [400 lb] of weight carried). • Adding certain accessories to your vehicle (for example bug deflectors, rollbars/light bars, running boards, ski/luggage racks) may reduce fuel economy .
The scheduled maintenance items listed in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide are essential to the life and performance of your vehicle and to its emissions system.
