How does the Personal Safety System 姟 work? The Personal Safety System 娂 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).
to the airbag when it begins to inflate. For some occupants, this occurs because they are initially sitting very close to the airbag. For other occupants, this occurs when the occupant is not properly restrained by seat belts or child safety seats and they move forward during pre-crash braking.
Front safety belt energy management retractors The front outboard safety belt energy management retractors allow webbing to be pulled out of the retractor in a gradual and controlled manner in response to the occupant’ s forward momentum.
Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a collision. 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.
Combination lap and shoulder belts 1. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest to the direction the tongue is coming from) until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle. 2. T o unfasten, push the release button and remove the tongue from the buckle.
V ehicle sensitive mode This is the normal retractor mode, which allows free shoulder belt length adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle movement.
• 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 safety belt and increase the risk of injury in a collision.
Conditions of operation If... Then... The driver’ s safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the ON position... The safety belt warning light illuminates 1-2 minutes and the warning chime sounds 4-8 seconds. The driver’ s safety belt is buckled while the indicator light is illuminated and the warning chime is sounding.
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 娂 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 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) (automatic transmission) • The ignition switch is in the OFF position • The driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled T o reduce the risk of injury , do not deactivate/activate the BeltMinder 娂 feature while driving the vehicle.
Do not use extensions to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso. 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, replacing if necessary .
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.
Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back seat and always properly use appropriate child restraints. The National Highway T raffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 inches (25 cm) between an occupant’ s chest and the driver airbag module.
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.
• diagnostic module. • and the electrical wiring which connects the components. The diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits and the supplemental airbag electrical system wiring (including the impact sensors), the system wiring, the airbag system readiness light, the airbag back up power and the airbag ignitors.
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 supplemental restraint system uses a warning indicator in the instrument cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer to the W arning lights and chimes section in the Instrument Cluster chapter .
All occupants of the vehicle should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS is provided. 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.
not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Side airbags are designed 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 attempt to service, repair , or modify the Safety Canopy 娂 system, its fuses, the A, B, C or D pillar trim, or the headliner on a vehicle containing a Safety Canopy 娂 .
• T wo crash sensors located at the c-pillar behind the rear doors (one on each side). • Rollover sensor in the restraints control module (RCM). The Safety Canopy 娂 system, in combination with seat belts, can help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact collision or rollover event.
If the Safety Canopy 娂 system has deployed, the Safety Canopy 娂 will not function again unless replaced. The Safety Canopy 娂 system (including the A, B, C, and D pillar trim) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer . If the Safety Canopy 娂 is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
or younger and who weigh 40 lb. [18 kg] or less) ride in your vehicle, you must put them in safety seats made especially for children. Many states require that children use approved booster seats until they are eight years old. Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements regarding the safety of children in your vehicle.
Booster seats position a child so that safety belts fit better . They lift the child up so that the lap belt rests low across the hips and the knees bend comfortably . Booster seats also make the shoulder belt fit better and more comfortably for growing children.
• Those with a high back. If, with a backless booster seat, you cannot find a seating position that adequately supports your child’ s head, a high back booster seat would be a better choice. Both can be used in any vehicle in a seating position equipped with lap/shoulder belts if your child is over 40 lb.
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. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’ s instructions with the safety seat you put in your vehicle.
Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’ s instructions included with the safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the safety seat properly , the child may be injured in a sudden stop or collision. Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder belts Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.
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.
Front passenger seating position (manual adjusting seats only) 1. Position the child safety seat on the passenger seat cushion. 2. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat. If the head restraint is adjustable, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts.
4. Rotate the tether hook, and clip the tether strap to the seat frame. If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly (as shown) the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision. 5. Rotate the tether strap clip. 6. Install the child safety seat tightly using the LA TCH anchors or safety belts.
7. T ighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the manufacturer’ s instructions. Rear seating positions Follow Steps 1–7 as described above for the following available seats: • 2nd .
For additional important safety information on the proper use of safety belts, child seats and infant seats, please read the entire Seating and safety restraints chapter in this owner’ s guide.
The lower anchors for child seat installation are located at the rear section of the rear seat between the cushion and seat back. Follow the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions to properly install a child seat with LA TCH attachments. Attach LA TCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the anchors 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.
• 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.
maximum load can be carried by the tire. This pressure is normally higher than the manufacturer’ s recommended cold inflation pressure which can be found on either the Safety Compliance Certification Label which is located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’ s door .
TIRE REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS Y our vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide a safe ride and handling capability . Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size and type (such as P-metric versus L T -metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally provided by Ford.
T emporary spare tire information Y our vehicle may have a temporary spare tire. The temporary spare tire for your vehicle is labeled as such. It is smaller than a regular tire and is designed for emergency use only . Replace this tire with a full-size tire as soon as possible.
Dissimilar spare tire/wheel information (if equipped) Failure to follow these guidelines could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or death.
Location of the spare tire and tools The spare tire and tools for your vehicle are stowed in the following locations: Item Location Spare tire Under the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper . Jack Behind the access panel located on the right rear quarter panel interior trim.
2. T urn the wrench counterclockwise until cable is slack and tire can be slid rearward. 3. Remove the primary retainer from the center of the tire. Note: Do not stow the full size tire or any flat tire under the vehicle.
1. Park on a level surface, activate hazard flashers and set parking brake. 2. Place gearshift lever in P (Park), turn engine off, and block the diagonally opposite wheel.
If Ford Accessory Running Boards have been installed, use the jack adapters supplied with the running boards as described on the inside of the jack storage area. 6. Locate the jack notch next to the door closest to the tire you are changing, then place the jack on the frame rail directly behind the notch.
11. Remove the jack and fully tighten the lug nuts in the order shown. Refer to Wheel lug nut torque specifications later in this chapter for the proper lug nut torque specification.
4. Check that the flat tire is properly secured. Stowing the spare tire 1. Lay the spare, inflated tire on the ground with the valve stem facing down. 2. Insert the primary wheel retainer through the center of the wheel. 3. Use the winch mechanism to pull, and raise the tire under the vehicle.
When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Ensure that any fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel.
4. R: Indicates a “radial” type tire. 5. 15: Indicates the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the new wheel diameter . 6. 95: Indicates the tire’ s load index. It is an index that relates to how much weight a tire can carry .
8. U.S. DOT T ire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code designating where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built.
13. Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure: Indicates the tire manufacturers’ maximum permissible pressure and/or the pressure at which the maximum load can be carried by the tire.
Information on “T” type tires “T” type tires have some additional information beyond those of “P” type tires; these differences are described below: T145/80D16 is an example of a tire size. Note: The temporary tire size for your vehicle may be different from this example.
TIRE CARE Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can also cause tires to wear abnormally . Here are some of the important maintenance items: Tire wear Measure and inspect the tire tread on all your tires periodically . Advanced and unusual tire wear can reduce the ability of tread to grip the road in adverse (wet, snowy , etc.
Safety practices Driving habits have a great deal to do with your tire mileage and safety . • Observe posted speed limits • A void fast starts, stops and turns • A void potholes and objects on the road • Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against a curb when parking If your vehicle is stuck in snow , mud, sand, etc.
Tire rotation Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated in the scheduled maintenance information that comes with your vehicle) will help your tires wear more evenly , providing better tire performance and longer tire life. Unless otherwise specified, rotate the tires approximately every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
• Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) vehicles/Four Wheel Drive (4WD)/ All Wheel Drive (A WD) vehicles (front tires at top of diagram) Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires.
When a tire loses inflation, the low tire warning system detects the change and illuminates the low tire warning indicator light as shown. If the light remains on while driving, check the tire pressure refer to “Checking the tire pressure” in this chapter .
Reset with message center: T o reset turn the ignition to the ON position, press the set up button on the message center until “SYSTEM CHECK” is displayed. Press the RESET button until “HOLD RESET TO RELEARN” is displayed, continue to hold the button for three seconds.

However , for severe usage or in high temperature climates, check the battery electrolyte level. Refer to scheduled maintenance information 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.
7. Drive the vehicle to complete the relearning process. • The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles (16 km) or more to relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy . • If you do not allow the engine to relearn its idle trim, the idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the idle trim is eventually relearned.
• Boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C). • Protection against rust and other forms of corrosion. • Enables calibrated gauges to work properly .
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 .
coolant degas system with a pressurized cap, or if it is necessary to 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 AUTOMOTIVE FUELS Important safety precautions Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire.
• 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.
Use the following guidelines to avoid static build-up when filling an ungrounded fuel container: • Place approved fuel container on the ground. • DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the cargo area). • Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while filling.
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 . Choosing the right fuel Use only UNLEADED FUEL.
It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket products to your fuel tank if you continue to use high quality fuel of the recommended octane rating. Aftermarket products could cause damage to the fuel system. Repairs to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product in your fuel may not be covered by your warranty .
ESSENTIALS OF GOOD FUEL ECONOMY Measuring techniques Y our best source of information about actual fuel economy is you, the driver . Y ou must gather information as accurately and consistently as possible. Fuel expense, frequency of fill-ups or fuel gauge readings are NOT accurate as a measure of fuel economy .
Calculating fuel economy 1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading (in miles or kilometers). 2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added (in gallons or liters). 3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank and record the current odometer reading.
• Y ou may want to turn off the speed control in hilly terrain if unnecessary shifting between third and fourth gear occurs. Unnecessary shifting of this type could result in reduced fuel economy . • W arming up a vehicle on cold mornings is not required and may reduce fuel economy .
EP A window sticker Every new vehicle should have the EP A window sticker . Contact your authorized 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.
BRAKE FLUID 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.
7. Remove the dipstick and inspect the fluid level. The fluid should be in the designated areas for normal operating temperature. Low fluid level Do not drive the vehicle if the fluid level is at the bottom of the dipstick and the outside temperatures are above 50°F (10°C).
Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission operation and result in damage to internal transmission components. AIR FILTER Refer to scheduled maintenance information for the appropriate intervals for changing the air filter element.
2. Loosen the hose clamp located closest to the air cleaner . 3. Remove the air cleaner assembly from the vehicle. 4. Release the two clamps that secure the cover to the air filter housing and place the cover aside. 5. Remove the air filter element from the air filter housing.
7. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter element edges between the air filter housing and cover . 8. Replace the air filter housing cover and secure the clamps. Be sure all the tabs on the bottom edge are properly aligned.
10. Ensure the pads on the bottom of the air cleaner assembly are properly seated. 11. Reconnect the outlet tube to the air cleaner assembly and tighten the clamp. 12. Reconnect the Mass Air Flow Sensor electrical connector to the outlet tube. Make sure the locking tab on the connector is in “locked” position.
