Types of Booster Seats
•Backless booster seats
If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield.
If a vehicle seating position has a low seat back or no head restraint, a
backless booster seat may place your child’s head (as measured at the
tops of the ears) above the top of the seat. In this case, move the
backless booster to another seating position with a higher seat back or
head restraint and lap and shoulder belts, or consider using a high back
booster seat.
•High back booster seats
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.

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. Be sure
the belt webbing is not twisted.
4. Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle (the buckle closest to
the direction the tongue is coming
from) for that seating position until
you hear a snap and feel the latch
engage. Make sure the tongue is
latched securely by pulling on it.
5. To 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.
Note:The automatic locking mode is available on the front passenger
and rear seats. This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.
6. Allow the belt to retract to remove slack. The belt will click as it
retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.
7. Try to pull the belt out of the retractor to make sure the retractor is
in the automatic locking mode. You should not be able to pull more belt
out. If the retractor is not locked, unbuckle the belt and repeat Steps 5
and 6.

Perform the following steps to install a child safety seat with tether
anchors:
1. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat.
For outboard seating positions, route the tether strap under the head
restraint and between the head restraint posts. For the center seating
positions, route the tether strap over the top of the head restraint. If
needed, the head restraints can also be removed. See theSeatschapter.
2. Locate the correct anchor for the
selected seating position.
3. Rotate the tether hook, then
move the hook under the anchor.
4. 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.

Dual Zone Temperature Control
Select a temperature for the passenger’s side using the rotary control on
the passenger’s side. Single zone temperature control automatically
switches off. The temperature on the driver’s side remains unchanged.
You can now adjust the driver’s side and passenger’s side temperatures
independently. The display shows the temperature settings for each side.
Switching Back to Single Zone Temperature Control
Press and holdAUTOfor 2-4 seconds. The passenger’s side temperature
switches to the driver’s side temperature setting.
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid
weather, select defrost.
•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, avoid driving with the
system switched off unless you can open a window to help circulate
fresh air.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the air conditioning cool down, drive with the windows
open for approximately 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until
the vehicle has “aired out.”
•The air conditioning system cools both the interior of the vehicle and
the high voltage battery. In hot outside temperatures, the interior
temperature may temporarily increase if the high voltage battery
requires cooling. Keep the vehicle plugged in (when possible) to
allow automatic battery cooling in high temperature conditions.
•An electrical heater warms the interior. Set the fan at a lower speed to
get a warmer outlet temperature on cold days.
•You may feel a small amount of air from the floor vent regardless of
the air distribution setting.
Maximum Cooling Performance
PressMAX A/C.The system defaults to single zone operation and the
coldest temperature setting.LOappears in the display. Air conditioning
and recirculated air are on and fan speed increases to the highest speed.
You can adjust the fan speed while in this mode.

•Cabin Preconditioning:Get the most miles out of every charge by
preconditioning your vehicle while it’s still plugged in and charging.
Use your smart phone to set the cabin temperature and departure
time before you leave so you use energy from your home wall outlet
instead of your battery to heat or cool your vehicle.
HIGH-VOLTAGE SERVICE DISCONNECT
The high-voltage service disconnect shuts off power from the
high-voltage battery.
Disabling the High-Voltage Battery
Note:There are two disconnect circuits in your vehicle. Disconnecting
one circuit will automatically disable the high-voltage battery.
To disable the high-voltage battery and stop all high-voltage electric
activity in the vehicle you can access one or both of the two high-voltage
disconnect circuits. To do this, you must unplug one of the circuits from
the circuit ports connected to the battery.
The lower battery high-voltage disconnect circuit is located by the right
rear wheel, accessible from under the car.
The upper battery high-voltage disconnect circuit is located behind the
rear fold-down seats near the left side of the vehicle, and is more easily
accessible than the lower battery circuit. To access this circuit:
1. Fold down the left rear seat.
2. Locate the access door. Press the
button on the top of the access
door to remove the plastic cover.
Remove the cover panel. A cut out
area will be visible which allows
your hand access to the circuit.
3. Press the tab on the top center of the circuit and rotate the handle
toward you. Press again to pull the hand down.
4. Pull the handle toward you and remove the circuit from the vehicle to
disable the high-voltage battery.
Reverse this procedure to reinstall the service disconnect.
Reactivating the High-Voltage Battery
Note:If you have manually disconnected your high-voltage shutoff
circuits you will need to reconnect the circuits before they can be
reactivated. The vehicle will detect if the electrical system is safe and
reactivate automatically.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR
WARNING:Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or dye on the
vehicle’s safety belts, as these actions may weaken the belt
webbing.
WARNING:On vehicles equipped with seat-mounted airbags, do
not use chemical solvents or strong detergents. Such products
could contaminate the side airbag system and affect performance of the
side airbag in a collision.
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts and seats equipped with side
airbags:
•Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
•Apply a layer of high quality foam cleaner, designed for automotive
interiors, to the dry stained area (s) of the item you are cleaning and
allow soaking for one minute.
•If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first
with Motorcraft Spot and Stain Remover. In Canada, use Motorcraft
Multi-Purpose Cleaner.
•If a ring forms on the fabric after spot cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately (but do not oversaturate) or the ring can set.
•Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which can
stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardant abilities of
the seat materials.
CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER LENS
WARNING:Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents
when cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid
contamination of the airbag system.
Clean the instrument panel and cluster lens with a clean, damp, white,
cotton cloth, then use a clean and dry, white, cotton cloth to dry these
areas.
•Avoid cleaners or polishes that increase the gloss of the upper portion
of the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the
driver from undesirable windshield reflection.
