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; t h e r ei sar i s ko fi n j u r yf r o ma deploying airbag.
W ARNING: 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.

In case there is a problem with the front passenger sensing system, the airbag readiness lamp in the instrument cluster will stay lit. If the airbag readiness lamp is lit, do the following: The driver and/or adult passengers should check for any objects that may be lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: • The readiness light will either flash or stay lit. • The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on. • A series of five beeps will be heard.
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.
W ARNING: Several airbag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. W ARNING: 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 .
Safety Canopy 姞 System W ARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the headliner at the siderail that may come into contact with a deploying Safety Canopy 威 . Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.
How does the Safety Canopy 姞 System work? The design and development of the Safety Canopy 威 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.
The Safety Canopy 威 System is designed to active when the vehicle sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the RCM to initiate Safety Canopy 威 inflation or when a certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor .
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 Airbag readiness in the Instrument Cluster chapter . Routine maintenance of the side airbag is not required.
SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety restraints for children. Also see Airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) in this chapter for special instructions about using airbags.
Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children Child size, height, weight, or age Recommended restraint type Infants or toddlers Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generally age four or younger) Use a child safety seat (sometimes called an infant carrier , convertible seat, or toddler seat).
Recommendations for attaching child safety restraints for children Restraint T ype Child W eight Use any attachment method as indicated below by “X” LA TCH (lower anchors and top tether anchor) LA.
W ARNING: Always carefully follow the instructions and warnings provided by the manufacturer of any child restraint to determine if the restraint device is appropriate for your child’ s size, height, weight, or age.
training to ensure that all children ages 0 to 16 are properly restrained in the correct restraint system. Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety T echnician (CPST) and your pediatrician to make sure your seat is appropriate for your child and properly installed in the vehicle.
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NEVER place a rear -facing child seat in front of an active airbag. If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the vehicle seat all the way back. Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position whenever possible.
Perform the following steps when installing the child seat with combination lap/shoulder belts: Note: Although the child seat illustrated is a forward facing child seat, the steps are the same for installing a rear facing child seat. 1. Position the child safety seat in a seat with a combination lap and shoulder belt.
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.
8. Remove remaining slack from the belt. Force the seat down with extra weight, e.g., by pressing down or kneeling on the child restraint while pulling up on the shoulder belt in order to force slack from the belt.
LA TCH compatible child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to the two lower anchors at the LA TCH equipped seating positions in your vehicle. This type of attachment method eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach the child seat, however the safety belt can still be used to attach the child seat.
W ARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint, and depending on the child restraint design, you may block access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LA TCH lower anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable.
Combining safety belt and LA TCH lower anchors for attaching child safety seats When used in combination, either the safety belt or the LA TCH lower anchors may be attached first, provided a proper installation is achieved. Attach the tether strap afterward, if included with the child seat.
2. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position. There are three tether anchors located on the headliner at the rear of the vehicle. 3. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as shown. The arrow in the above graphic points toward the front of the vehicle.
around four (4) years of age. Consult your child safety seat owner guide for the weight, height, and age limits specific to your child safety seat. Keep your child in the child safety seat if it properly fits the child, remains appropriate for their weight, height and age AND if properly secured to the vehicle.
• Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and chest? • Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip? T ypes of booster seats There are generally two types of belt-positioning booster seats: backless and high back. Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle lap/shoulder belt.
Children and booster seats vary 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 .
Move a child to a different seating location if the shoulder belt does not stay positioned on the shoulder during use. Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat.
NOTICE TO UTILITY VEHICLE AND TRUCK OWNERS Utility vehicles and trucks handle differently than passenger cars in the various driving conditions that are encountered on streets, highways and off-road.
Power is supplied to all four wheels through a transfer case or power transfer unit. 4WD vehicles allow you to select different drive modes as necessary . Information on transfer case operation and shifting procedures can be found in the Driving chapter .

Pure ethanol is the alcohol which is the intoxicating agent in liquor , beer and wine. It is distilled from the fermentation of plants such as field corn and sugar cane. When ethanol is produced for use in motor fuels, a small amount of gasoline is added to make it unfit for beverage use.
Refueling W ARNING: Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause severe injuries. T o help avoid injuries to you and others: • Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island; • T .
Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if overfilling the fuel tank. Do not overfill the tank to the point that the fuel is able to bypass the fuel filler nozzle. The overfilled fuel may run down the drain located below and in front of the fuel filler door .
Choosing the right fuel If your vehicle is a flexible fuel vehicle (FFV), use only UNLEADED FUEL and FUEL ETHANOL (Ed75–Ed85). If your vehicle is not a flexible fuel vehicle (FFV), then only use UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum of 10% ethanol.
If you operate your vehicle 50% or more of the time on ethanol, you should follow a different maintenance schedule. In addition to this, if you exclusively use E85 fuel, it is also recommended to fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline once every 3,000 miles (4,800 km).
