How does the Personal Safety System work? The Personal Safety System can adapt the deployment strategy of your vehicle ’ s safety devices according to crash severity and occupant conditions. A collection of crash and occupant sensors provides information to the Restraints control module (RCM).
Front passenger sensing system For air bags 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 air bag when it begins to inflate.
Front safety belt pretensioners The safety belt pretensioners at the front outboard seating positions are designed to tighten the safety belts firmly against the occupant ’ s body during a frontal or near -frontal collision.
Safety restraints precautions Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips. T o reduce the risk of injury , make sure children sit in the back seat where they can be properly restrained. Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving.
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.
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.
• 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.
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.
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. Conditions of operation If... Then... The driver ’ s safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
If... Then... The driver ’ s and front passenger ’ s safety belts are buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the ON position or less than 1-2 minutes have elapsed since the ignition switch has been turned ON... The BeltMinder feature will not activate.
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 air bag ” Air bags 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.
T o reduce the risk of injury , do not deactivate/activate the Belt Minder feature while driving the vehicle. 1. T urn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position.
Safety belt maintenance Inspect the safety belt systems periodically to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Inspect the safety belts to make sure there are no nicks, tears or cuts.
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.
Do not attempt to service, repair , or modify the steering column, its adaptive module, or its fuses. See your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer . T o properly position yourself away from the air bag: • Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably .
Children and air bags 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 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.
If the air bag has deployed, the air bag will not function again and must be replaced immediately . If the air bag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
When the front passenger seat is occupied and the sensing system has turned off the passenger ’ s frontal airbag, the ⬙ passenger airbag off ⬙ or ⬙ pass airbag off ⬙ indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal airbag is off.
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. Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor .
Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer to Air bag readiness section in the Instrument Cluster chapter . Routine maintenance of the air bag is not required.
All occupants of the vehicle should always wear their safety belts even when an air bag SRS is provided. How does the side air bag 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.
to inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over , rear -impact, frontal or near -frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration. Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation.
SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety restraints for children. Also see Air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) in this chapter for special instructions about using air bags.
Child booster seats Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh 40 pounds (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 .
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.
Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat. Never put the shoulder belt under a child ’ s arm or behind the back because it eliminates the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision.
• LA TCH lower anchors are recommended for use by children up to 48 pounds (22 kg) in a child restraint. T op tether anchors can be used for children up to 60 pounds (27 kg) in a child restraint, and to provide upper torso restraint for children up to 80 pounds (36 kg) using an upper torso harness and a belt-positioning booster .
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.
8. Allow the safety belt to retract to remove any slack in the belt. 9. 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.
2. 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.
This type of child seat eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether strap must also be attached to the proper tether anchor . See Attaching safety seats with tether straps in this chapter .
lifting the front of the child seat. Keeping the child seat just touching the vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash. Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor .
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.
• 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 .
Inspecting your tires Periodically inspect the tire treads for uneven or excessive wear and remove stones, nails, glass or other objects that may be wedged in the tread grooves. Check for holes or cuts that may permit air leakage from the tire and make necessary repairs.
higher than the manufacturer ’ s recommended cold inflation pressure which can be found on either the tire label or certification label which is located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver ’ s door . The cold inflation pressure should never be set lower than the recommended pressure on the tire label or certification label.
TIRE REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS Y our vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide a safe ride and handling capability .

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. Refer to Lubricant specifications in this chapter .
5. Locate and carefully remove the engine oil level indicator (dipstick). 6. W ipe the indicator clean. Insert the indicator fully , then remove it again.
• If required, add engine oil to the engine. Refer to Adding engine oil in this chapter . • Do not overfill the engine with oil. Oil levels above this mark may cause engine damage. If the engine is overfilled, some oil must be removed from the engine by a qualified service technician.
Engine oil and filter recommendations Look for this certification trademark. Use SAE 5W -20 engine oil. Only use oils “ Certified For Gasoline Engines ” by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
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.
If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been installed, the clock and radio settings 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).
Do not add engine coolant when the engine is hot. Steam and scalding liquids released from a hot cooling system can burn you badly . Also, you can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts. Do not put engine coolant in the windshield washer fluid container .
remove the coolant pressure relief cap on the radiator of a vehicle with an overflow system, follow these steps to add engine coolant. T o reduce the risk of personal injury , make sure the engine is cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap.
Used engine coolant should be disposed of in an appropriate manner . Follow your community ’ s regulations and standards for recycling and disposing of automotive fluids. Coolant refill capacity T o find out how much fluid your vehicle ’ s cooling system can hold, refer to Refill capacities in this section.
What you should know about fail-safe cooling If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred. The “ fail-safe ” distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load and terrain.
• The air conditioning system will be disabled. Continued operation will increase the engine temperature: • If your vehicle is equipped with digital gauges, the gauge bars will flash and a tone will sound every five seconds for one minute. • The engine will completely shut down, causing steering and braking effort to increase.
If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank may damage the fuel system or cause the fuel cap to disengage in a collision, which may result in possible personal injury . Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or mishandled.
splashed on the skin, promptly wash skin thoroughly with soap and water . Consult a physician immediately if you experience an adverse reaction. When refueling always shut the engine off and never allow sparks or open flames near the filler neck. Never smoke while refueling.
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.
with the recommended octane rating, see your dealer or a qualified service technician to prevent any engine damage. Fuel quality If you are experiencing starting, rough idle or hesitation driveability problems, try a different brand of unleaded gasoline.
Replace the fuel filter with an authorized Motorcraft part. The customer warranty may be void for any damage to the fuel system if an authorized Motorcraft fuel filter is not used. ESSENTIALS OF GOOD FUEL ECONOMY Measuring techniques Y our best source of information about actual fuel economy is you, the driver .
• Have the vehicle loading and distribution the same every time. Y our results will be most accurate if your filling method is consistent. Calculating fuel economy 1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading (in miles or kilometers).
• Revving the engine before turning it off may reduce fuel economy . • Using the air conditioner or defroster may reduce fuel economy . • Y ou may want to turn off the speed control in hilly terrain if unnecessary shifting between third and fourth gear occurs.
• Close windows for high speed driving. EP A window sticker Every new vehicle should have the EP A window sticker . Contact your dealer if the window sticker is not supplied with your vehicle. The EP A window sticker should be your guide for the fuel economy comparisons with other vehicles.
Exhaust leaks may result in entry of harmful and potentially lethal fumes into the passenger compartment. Do not make any unauthorized changes to your vehicle or engine.
soon light is on, refer to the description in the W arning lights and chimes section of the Instrument Cluster chapter . Y our vehicle may not pass the I/M test with the Check engine/Service engine soon light on.
4. Check the fluid level in the reservoir . It should be between the MIN and MAX lines. Do not add fluid if the level is in this range. 5. If the fluid is low , add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking the level until it reaches the range between the MIN and MAX lines.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake. 3. W ith the parking brake engaged and your foot on the brake pedal, start the engine and move the gearshift lever through all of the gear ranges. Allow sufficient time for each gear to engage.
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. An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage.
