SAFETY RESTRAINTS Personal Safety System 姟 The Personal Safety System 娂 provides an improved overall level of frontal crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help further reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries.
Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints The dual-stage airbags offer the capability to tailor the level of airbag inflation energy . A lower , less forceful energy level is provided for more common, moderate-severity impacts. A higher energy level is used for the most severe impacts.
The front passenger sensing system can automatically turn off the passenger front airbag. The system is designed to help protect small (child size) occupants from airbag deployments when they are improperly seated or restrained in the front passenger seat contrary to proper child-seating or restraint usage recommendations.
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors its own internal circuits and the circuits for the airbag supplemental restraints, crash sensor(s), safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt buckle sensors, and the driver seat position sensor . In addition, the RCM also monitors the restraints warning light in the instrument cluster .
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a safety belt. Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that are designed to be used as a pair .
The belt guide is secured to the side shield by fastening the magnet on the guide strap to the magnet on the side shield. 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.
Energy Management Feature • This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management feature at the front seating positions to help further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision. • This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to pay out webbing in a controlled manner .
This mode should be used any time a child safety seat is installed in a passenger front or outboard rear seating position. Children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in the rear seat whenever possible. Refer to Safety restraints for children or Safety seats for children later in this chapter .
After any vehicle collision, the front passenger and rear outboard seat belt systems must be checked by an authorized dealer to verify that the “automatic locking retractor” feature for child seats is still functioning properly . In addition, all seat belts should be checked for proper function.
Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on the label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too short for you when fully extended.
Conditions of operation If... Then... The driver’ s or front passenger’ s safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the ON position... The safety belt warning light illuminates1-2 minutes and the warning chime sounds 4-8 seconds.
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 威 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 driver and front passenger BeltMinder 威 features can be deactivated/activated by performing the following procedure: Before following the procedure, make sure that: • The parking brake is set .
AIRBAG SUPPLEMENT AL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) 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. Airbags DO NOT inflate slowly; there is a risk of injury from a deploying airbag.
Never place your arm over the airbag module as a deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries. T o properly position yourself away from the airbag: • Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably .
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 or sodium compounds which may irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the residue is toxic.
Front passenger sensing system The front passenger sensing system is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of Federal Motor V ehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will not inflate) the front passenger’ s frontal airbag under certain conditions.
The front passenger sensing system is designed to disable (will not inflate) the front passenger’ s frontal airbag when a rear facing infant seat, a forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is detected.
Even with Advanced Restraints Systems, children 12 and under should be properly restrained in the back seat. After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on safety belts, it’ s very important that they continue to sit properly .
• Objects hanging off the seat back • Objects stowed in the seatback map pocket (if equipped) • Objects placed on the occupant’ s lap • Cargo interference with the seat • Other passengers .
• W ait at least 2 minutes and verify that the airbag readiness light is no longer illuminated • If the airbag readiness lamp remains illuminated, this may or may/not be a problem due to the front passenger sensing system. DO NOT attempt to repair or service the system; take your vehicle immediately to an authorized dealer .
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.
Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. 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 .
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 (generally children who are four years old 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.
Child booster seats Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh 40 lb. (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 in a crash.
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.
Children and booster seats vary widely 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 .
Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child. They can slide around and increase the likelihood of injury or death in a collision. 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.
tether anchors. For more information on top tether straps and anchors, refer to Attaching safety seats with tether straps in this chapter . For more information of LA TCH anchors refer to Attaching safety seats with LA TCH (Lower Anchors and T ethers for Children) attachments in this chapter .
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.
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.
For Coupe only: 4. Open the tether anchor covers. 5. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as shown. For Convertible only: The tether anchors on the convertible are located rearward of the seatback in the convertible top sling. Note: For easier access, attach the tether with the convertible top up.
Note: The attachments for the convertible boot located on the back of the head restraints are not tether anchors. 4. Access tether anchors located behind the seatback under the vinyl tag marked with the child tether anchor symbol.
5. 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. 6. Install the child safety seat tightly using the LA TCH anchors or safety belts.
Y our vehicle has LA TCH anchors for child seat installation at the seating positions marked with the child seat symbol. The center of the rear seat is NOT designed as a seating position. The LA TCH anchors were not designed to be used with a child seat in the center position and there is no tether anchor available at the center .
If you install a child seat with rigid LA TCH attachments, do not tighten the tether strap enough to lift the child seat off the vehicle seat cushion when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug without lifting the front of the child seat.
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.
Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire’ s load carrying capability . • kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure.
gauges may be inaccurate. Ford Motor Company recommends the use of a digital or dial-type tire pressure gauge rather than a stick-type tire pressure gauge. Use the recommended cold inflation pressure for optimum tire performance and wear . Under -inflation or over -inflation may cause uneven treadwear patterns.
T o check the pressure in your tire(s): 1. Make sure the tires are cool, meaning they are not hot from driving even a mile. 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.
