CD/CD PLAYER CARE
Do:
•Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
• Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an approved CD cleaner
and wipe from the center out.
Don ’t:
• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods
of time.
• Insert more than one disc into the CD player.
• Clean using a circular motion.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in (12
cm) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility,
certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not
function correctly when used in Ford CD players. Irregular
shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs
with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted
into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to
become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be
identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive
labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please contact your
dealer for further information.
AUDIO SYSTEM WARRANTY AND SERVICE
Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information. If
service is necessary, see your dealer or qualified technician.

Safety belt pretensioner
Your vehicle is equipped with safety belt pretensioners at the driver and
front passenger seating positions.
The safety belt pretensioner is a device which removes excess webbing
from the safety belt system. The safety belt pretensioner uses the same
crash sensor system as the front air bag supplemental restraint system
(SRS). When the safety belt pretensioner deploys, webbing from the lap
and shoulder belt is tightened. The driver and front passenger seat belt
system (including retractors and buckles) must be replaced if the vehicle
is involved in a collision that results in deployment of front air bags and
safety belt pretensioners. Refer to theSafety belt maintenancesection
in this chapter.
Failure to replace the safety belt assembly under the above
conditions could result in severe personal injuries in the event of
a collision.

BeltMinder
The BeltMinder
feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt
warning function. This feature provides additional reminders to the
driver that the driver ’s safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently
sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the
instrument cluster.
If... Then...
The driver ’s safety belt is not
buckled approximately 5
seconds after the safety belt
warning light has turned off
and the vehicle speed is over
about 4 mph (7 km/h)... The BeltMinder

feature is activated -
the safety belt warning light
illuminates and the warning chime
sounds for 6 seconds every 30
seconds, repeating for approximately 5
minutes or until safety belt is buckled.
The driver ’s safety belt is
buckled while the safety belt
indicator light is illuminated
and the safety belt warning
chime is sounding... The BeltMinder

feature will not
activate.
The driver ’s safety belt is
buckled before the ignition
switch is turned to the ON
position... The BeltMinder

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 ”367 00 crashes occur every day.
The more we drive, the more we are
exposed to “rare ”events, even for
good drivers. 1 in 4 of us will be
seriously injured in a crash during
our lifetime.
“ I’m not going far ”3of4fatal crashes occur within 25
miles of home.

Reasons given... Consider...
“Belts are uncomfortable ”We design our safety belts to enhance
comfort. If you are uncomfortable - try
different positions for the seatback
which should be as upright as
possible; this can improve comfort.
“ I was in a hurry ” Prime time for an accident.
BeltMinder
reminds us to take a few
seconds to buckle up.
“ Safety belts don ’t work ” Safety belts, when used properly,
reduce risk of death to front seat
occupants by 45% in cars, and by
60% in light trucks.
“ Traffic is light ” Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in
single-vehicle crashes, many when
no other vehicles are around.
“ Belts wrinkle my clothes ”Possibly, but a serious crash can do
much more than wrinkle your clothes,
particularly if you are unbelted.
“ The people I ’m with don ’t
wear belts ” Set the example, teen deaths occur 4
times more often in vehicles with TWO
or MORE people. Children and
younger brothers/sisters imitate
behavior they see.
“ I have an air bag ”Air bags 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. Peoplewho are
ejected are 40 times more likely to
DIE. Safety belts help prevent
ejection, WE CAN ’T “PICK OUR
CRASH ”.
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the Belt
Minder chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase the risk of
injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the Belt
Minder feature please follow the directions stated below.
