PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
Airbags DO NOT inflate slowly
or gently, and the risk of injury
from a deploying airbag is the greatest
close to the trim covering the airbag
module. All occupants of your vehicle,
including the driver, should
always properly wear their safety
belts, even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system is
provided. Always transport children 12
years old and under in the back
seat and always properly use
appropriate child restraints. Never place your arm over the
airbag module as a deploying
airbag can result in serious arm
fractures or other injuries. 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 seat all the way back. Do not attempt to service, repair,
or modify the airbag
supplemental restraint systems or its
fuses. Contact your authorized dealer
as soon as possible. Several airbag system
components get hot after
inflation. Do not touch them after
inflation. WARNINGS
If the airbag has deployed, the
airbag will not function again
and must be replaced immediately. If
the airbag is not replaced, the
unrepaired area will increase the risk
of injury in a collision. The airbags are a supplemental
restraint system and are designed to
work with the safety belts 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.
Note:
You will hear a loud bang and
see a cloud of harmless powdery
residue if an airbag deploys. This is
normal.
42
Supplementary Restraints System

After all occupants have adjusted
their seats and put on safety belts, it’
s
very important that they continue to
sit properly. A properly seated
occupant sits upright, leaning against
the seat back, and centered on the
seat cushion, with their feet
comfortably extended on the floor.
Sitting improperly can increase the
chance of injury in a crash event. For
example, if an occupant slouches, lies
down, turns sideways, sits forward,
leans forward or sideways, or puts one
or both feet up, the chance of injury
during a crash is greatly increased.
The conditions listed above may
cause the weight of a properly seated
occupant to be incorrectly interpreted
by the front passenger sensing
system. The person in the front
passenger seat may appear heavier
or lighter due to the conditions
described in the list above. To know if the front
passenger sensing system is
operating properly, See
Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 51).
DO NOT attempt to repair or service
the system; take your vehicle
immediately to an authorized dealer.
If it is necessary to modify an
advanced front airbag system to
accommodate a person with
disabilities, contact the Ford
Customer Relationship Center. See
Getting the Services You Need
(page
243). SIDE AIRBAGS WARNINGS
Do not place objects or mount
equipment on or near the airbag
cover, on the side of the seat backs
(of the front seats), or in front seat
areas that may come into contact
with a deploying airbag. Failure to
follow these instructions may increase
the risk of personal injury in the event
of a collision. Do not use accessory seat
covers. The use of accessory
seat covers may prevent the
deployment of the side airbags and
increase the risk of injury in an
accident. Do not lean your head on the
door. The side airbag could injure
you as it deploys from the side of the
seatback. Do not attempt to service, repair,
or modify the airbag, its fuses or
the seat cover on a seat containing an
airbag. Contact your authorized dealer
as soon as possible. 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. If the airbag
is not replaced, the unrepaired area
will increase the risk of injury in a
collision. 48
Supplementary Restraints System

The side airbags are located on the
outboard side of the seat backs of the
front seats. In certain lateral collisions,
the airbag on the side affected by the
collision will be inflated. The airbag
was designed to inflate between the
door panel and occupant to further
enhance the protection provided
occupants in side impact collisions.
The system consists of the following:
•
A label or embossed side panel
indicating that side airbags are
fitted to your vehicle
• Side airbags located inside the
driver and front passenger seat
backs
• Front passenger sensing system ·Crash sensors and
monitoring system with
readiness indicator. See
Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 51).
Note: The passenger sensing system
will deactivate the passenger
seat-mounted side airbag if it detects
an empty, unbuckled passenger seat. 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 Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing
procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of
side airbags.
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS
WARNINGS
Do not place objects or mount
equipment on or near the
headliner at the siderail that may
come into contact with a deploying
side curtain airbag. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the
risk of personal injury in the event of
a collision. Do not lean your head on the
door. The side curtain airbag
could injure you as it deploys from the
headliner. Do not attempt to service, repair,
or modify the side curtain
airbags, its fuses, the A, B, or C pillar
trim, or the headliner on a vehicle
containing side curtain airbags.
Contact your authorized dealer as
soon as possible. All occupants of the vehicle
including the driver should
always wear their safety belts even
when an airbag SRS and side curtain
airbag is provided.

TOWING A TRAILER
WARNINGS
Do not exceed the GVWR or the
GAWR specified on the
certification label. Towing trailers beyond the
maximum recommended gross
trailer weight exceeds the limit of the
vehicle and could result in engine
damage, transmission damage,
structural damage, loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover and personal
injury. Note:
There may be electrical items
such as fuses or relays that can affect
trailer towing operation. See Fuses
(page 251).
Weight, not volume designates your
vehicle's load capacity. You cannot
necessarily use all available space
when loading a vehicle.
Towing a trailer places an additional
load on your vehicle's engine,
transmission, axle, brakes, tires and
suspension. Inspect these
components periodically during, and
after, any towing operation.
Load Placement
To help minimize how trailer
movement affects the vehicle when
driving:
• Load the heaviest items closest to
the trailer floor.
• Load the heaviest items in the
center of the left and right side
trailer tires. •
Load the heaviest items above the
trailer axles or just slightly forward
toward the trailer tongue. Do not
allow the final trailer tongue
weight to go above or below
10-15% of the loaded trailer
weight.
• Select a tow bar with the correct
rise or drop. When both the loaded
vehicle and trailer are connected,
the trailer frame should be level,
or slightly angled down toward the
vehicle, when viewed from the
side.
When driving with a trailer or payload,
a slight takeoff vibration or shudder
may be present due to the increased
payload weight. Additional
information regarding proper trailer
loading and setting your vehicle up for
towing is located in another chapter
of this manual. See Load Limit (page
219). You can also find the information
in the
RV & Trailer Towing Guide,
available at your authorized dealer.
RECOMMENDED TOWING
WEIGHTS
Note: Do not exceed the trailer weight
for your vehicle configuration listed in
the chart below.
Note: Be sure to take into
consideration trailer frontal area. Do
not exceed 20 feet 2
(1.86 meters 2
).
Note: For high altitude operation,
reduce the gross combined weight by
2% per 1000 feet (300 meters)
starting at the 1000 foot (300 meter)
elevation point.

CHANGING A FUSE
Fuses
WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one
that has the specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher
amperage rating can cause severe
wire damage and could start a fire. If electrical components in the vehicle
are not working, a fuse may have
blown. Blown fuses are identified by
a broken wire within the fuse. Check
the appropriate fuses before replacing
any electrical components.
