Seating and safety restraints Replacing the second row bench seat belt assemblies after a collision All second row bench seat belt assemblies adjacent to a sliding door have special energy management retractors designed to further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision. These retractors should be replaced if they were used in any accident in which the front airbags deploy.
Seating and safety restraints Important supplemental restraint system (SRS) precautions The supplemental restraint system is designed to work with the safety belt to help protect the driver and right front passenger from certain upper body injuries. Air bags DO NOT inflate slowly or gently and the risk of injury from a deploying air bag is greatest close to the trim covering the air bag module.
Seating and safety restraints Do not put anything on or over the air bag module. Placing objects on or over the air bag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the air bag into your face and torso causing serious injury. Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System or its fuses. See your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
Seating and safety restraints How does the air bag supplemental restraint system work? The air bag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains longitudinal deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit that initiates air bag inflation. The fact that the air bags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation.
Seating and safety restraints Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. If the air bag is 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.
Seating and safety restraints Side air bag system (if equipped) Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or in front seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying air bag. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision. Do not use accessory seat covers.
Seating and safety restraints How does the side air bag system work? The side air bag system consists of the following: • An inflatable nylon bag (air bag) with a gas generator concealed behind the outboard bolster of the driver and front passenger seatbacks. • A special seat cover designed to allow airbag deployment. • The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used for the front air bags. • Two crash sensors located under the outboard side of the front seats, attached to the floor.
Seating and safety restraints Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. If the side air bag has deployed, the air bag will not function again. The side air bag system (including the seat) must be inspected and serviced by a qualified technician in accordance with the vehicle service manual. If the air bag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
Seating and safety restraints Disposal of air bags and air bag equipped vehicles (including pretensioners) For disposal of air bags or air bag equipped vehicles, see your local dealership or qualified technician. Air bags MUST BE disposed of by qualified personnel. 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.
Seating and safety restraints Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets unattended in your vehicle. To improve the fit of lap and shoulder belts on children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford recommends use of a belt-positioning booster seat that is labelled as conforming to all Federal motor vehicle safety standards.
Seating and safety restraints When installing a child safety seat: • Review and follow the information presented in the Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System section in this chapter. • Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position. • Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle.
Seating and safety restraints 1. Position the child safety seat in a seat with a combination lap and shoulder belt. Air bags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move seat all the way back. Rear facing seats should NEVER be placed in the front seats. 2. Grasp the belt webbing below the tongue and pull as much of the belt out of the retractor as possible. Hold the belt out. 3.
Seating and safety restraints 4. While holding the shoulder and lap portions together, route the tongue and webbing through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure that the belt webbing is not twisted. 5. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for that seating positions until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely latched to the buckle by pulling on the tongue. 6.
Seating and safety restraints 7. Allow the safety belt to retract and remove any slack in the belt to securely tighten the child safety seat in the vehicle. 8. Before placing the child into the child seat, forcibly tilt the child seat forward and back to make sure that the seat is held securely in place. 9. Check from time to time to be sure that there is no slack in the lap/shoulder belt. The shoulder belt must be snug to keep the lap belt tight during a collision.
Seating and safety restraints Tether anchorage hardware Children should be placed in the rear in an appropriate child safety seat that is properly secured to the vehicle. Rear-facing infant seats must always be secured in the rear seat. In vehicles without a rear seat, a rear-facing infant seat should be secured in the front seat only if your vehicle does not have a passenger side air bag or your vehicle is equipped with a passenger air bag deactivate switch and the switch is turned to “OFF.
Seating and safety restraints Front passenger seating position 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. 3. Grasp the tether strap and position it to the seat frame.
Seating and safety restraints 4. Rotate the tether strap. 5. 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. 6. Rotate the tether strap clip. 7. Refer to the instructions in this section under Installing child safety seats in cinch tongue combination lap and shoulder belt seating positions to secure the child safety seat.
Seating and safety restraints 8. Tighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Seating and safety restraints • 3rd row bench For additional important safety information on the proper use of seatbelts, child seats and infant seats, please read the entire Seating and safety restraints chapter in this owner’s guide. Attaching child safety seats with ISOFIX attachments Some child seat manufacturers make safety seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible child seats.
Seating and safety restraints The anchors at the center of the three-passenger seat are further apart that the sets of ISOFIX anchors at other seating positions. A child seat with rigid ISOFIX attachments cannot be installed at this seating position. An ISOFIX-compatible child seat (with attachments on belt webbing) can be used at this seating position. Do not attach a child seat to any ISOFIX anchor if an adjacent child seat is attached to that anchor.
Seating and safety restraints If the safety seat in not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision greatly increases. To properly install any child seat in the second or third row seats, first set the seatback angle. 1. Pull up on the seatback recline control located on the side of the seat, allowing the seatback to spring to its forward position. 2. Without touching the recline control, push the seatback rearward until the recline control drops into position.
Starting PREPARING TO START YOUR VEHICLE Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain control system. This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio noise. When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing the accelerator before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have difficulty starting the engine. For more information on starting the vehicle, refer to Starting the engine in this chapter.
Starting 3. Make sure the parking brake is set. 4. Make sure the gearshift is in P (Park). 5. Turn the key to 4 (ON) without turning the key to 5 (START). 4 If there is difficulty in turning the 3 key, firmly rotate the steering wheel 5 left and right until the key turns freely.
Starting STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Turn the key to 5 (START) without pressing the accelerator pedal and release as soon as the engine starts. The key will return to 4 (ON). 2. If the temperature is above –12°C (10°F) and the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try, turn the key to OFF, wait 10 seconds and try again. 4 3 5 2 1 3. If the temperature is below -12° C (10° F) and the engine does not start in 15 seconds on the first try, turn the key OFF and wait 10 seconds and try again.
Starting Guarding against exhaust fumes Although odorless and colorless, carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid its dangerous effects. If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle, have your dealer inspect and fix your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes. These fumes are harmful and could kill you. Have the exhaust and body ventilation systems checked whenever: • the vehicle is raised for service.
Driving BRAKES Your service brakes are self-adjusting. Refer to the scheduled maintenance guide for scheduled maintenance. Occasional brake noise is normal and often does not indicate a performance concern with the vehicle’s brake system. In normal operation, automotive brake systems may emit occasional or intermittent squeal or groan noises when the brakes are applied.
Driving ABS warning lamp ABS The ABS warning lamp in the instrument cluster momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position. If the light does not illuminate momentarily at start up or remains on the ABS needs to be serviced. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake system is disabled and normal BRAKE braking is still effective unless the ! brake warning light also remains illuminated with parking brake released.
Driving The parking brake is not recommended to stop a moving vehicle. However, if the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop your vehicle in an emergency. Since the parking brake applies only the rear brakes, the vehicle’s stopping distance will increase greatly and the handling of your vehicle will be adversely affected. Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park) (automatic transaxle).
Driving motor type of sound coming from the engine compartment and the engine will not “rev-up” when you push further on the accelerator. This is normal system behavior. If you should become stuck in snow or on a very slippery road surface, try switching the Traction Controly system off with the traction control switch located on the left hand side of the radio. This may allow excess wheel spin to “dig” the vehicle out or enable a successful “rocking” maneuver.
Driving AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OPERATION Brake-shift interlock This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) unless the brake pedal is depressed. If the gearshift lever cannot be moved from P (Park) with the brake pedal depressed, it is possible that a fuse has blown or the vehicle’s brakelamps are not operating properly. Refer to Fuses and relays in the Roadside emergencies chapter.
Driving installed, the transaxle must relearn its adaptive strategy. Optimal shifting will resume within a few hundred kilometers (miles) of operation. Your automatic overdrive transaxle provides fully automatic operation in O/D ON/OFF either (Overdrive) or with the O/D OFF switch depressed. Driving with the gearshift lever in (Overdrive) gives the best fuel economy for normal driving conditions. For manual control start in 1 (First) and then shift manually.
Driving R (Reverse) With the gearshift lever in R (Reverse), the vehicle will move backward. You should always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R (Reverse).

Maintenance and care CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE Refer to the Customer Assistance chapter for a list of Ford-approved cleaners, polishes and waxes. Washing your vehicle Wash your vehicle regularly with cold or lukewarm water. Never use strong detergents or soap. If your vehicle is particularly dirty, use a quality car wash detergent. Always use a clean sponge, washing glove or similar device and plenty of water for best results.
Maintenance and care recommended that you clean the wiper blades and windshield as described in Cleaning the wiper blades and windshield. Repairing paint chips Minor scratches or paint damage from road debris may be repaired with the Ultra Touch Prep and Finishing Kit (#F7AZ-19K507–BA), Lacquer Touch-up Paint (#ALBZ-19500–XXXXA), or Exterior Acrylic Spray Lacquer (#ALAZ-19500–XXXXA) from the Ford Car Care Chemicals line.
Maintenance and care Cleaning the exterior lamps Wash with the same detergent as the exterior of your vehicle. If necessary, use a tar remover such as Ford Extra Strength Tar and Road Oil Remover (B7A-19520–AA). To avoid scratching the lamps, do not use a dry paper towel, chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. Cleaning the wiper blades, windshield and rear window If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean the wiper blade rubber element with undiluted windshield washer solution or a mild detergent.
Maintenance and care • Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning the engine. • Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the running engine may cause internal damage. Cleaning the instrument panel Clean with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth. Avoid cleaner or polish that increases the gloss of the upper portion of the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the driver from undesirable windshield reflection.
Maintenance and care Cleaning seats equipped with side air bags Remove dust and loose dirt with a whisk broom or a vacuum cleaner. Remove fresh spots immediately. Follow the directions that come with the cleaner. Do not saturate the seat cover with upholstery cleaner. Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning the seat mounted side air bag. Such products could contaminate the side air bag system and affect performance of the side air bag in a collision.
Maintenance and care Cleaning leather seats (if equipped) To clean, simply use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild soap. Wipe the leather again with a damp cloth to remove soap residue. Dry with a soft cloth. For tougher soiling concerns, Ford recommends using the Deluxe Leather Care Kit F8AZ-19G253–AA, which is available from your Ford Dealer. This mild cleaner and special pad, cleans the leather and maintains its natural beauty. Follow the instructions on the cleaner label.
