•
When the front passenger sensing
system enables the front passenger
frontal airbag, the passenger airbag
status indicator illuminates the on
lamp.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front
passenger seat, but the passenger airbag
status indicator off lamp is illuminated, it
is possible that the person is not sitting
properly in the seat. If this happens:
• Switch your vehicle off and ask the
person to place the seat backrest in an
upright position.
• Have the person sit upright in the seat,
centered on the seat cushion, with the
person's legs comfortably extended.
• Restart your vehicle and have the
person remain in this position for about
two minutes. This allows the system
to detect that person and enable the
passenger frontal airbag.
• If the indicator off lamp remains
illuminated even after this, you should
advise the person to ride in the rear
seat.
After all occupants have adjusted their
seats and put on seatbelts, it is very
important that they continue to sit upright,
leaning against the seat backrest, 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 greatly
increases.
If you think that the state of the passenger
airbag status indicator lamp is incorrect,
check for the following:
• Objects lodged underneath the seat.
• Objects between the seat cushion and
the center console. •
Objects hanging off the seat backrest.
• Objects stowed in the seat backrest
map pocket.
• Objects placed on the occupant's lap.
• Cargo interference with the seat
• Other passengers pushing or pulling on
the seat.
• Rear passenger feet and knees resting
or pushing on the seat.
The listed conditions could 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 could appear
heavier or lighter due to the conditions
listed. Make sure the front passenger
sensing system is operating
properly. See Crash Sensors
and Airbag Indicator (page 61).
If the airbag readiness light is on, do the
following:
• Pull your vehicle over.
• Switch your vehicle off.
• Check for any objects lodged
underneath the front passenger seat
or cargo interfering with the seat.
• Remove the obstruction if found.
• Restart your vehicle.
• Wait at least two minutes and verify
that the airbag readiness light in the
instrument cluster is no longer
illuminated.
• If the airbag readiness light in the
instrument cluster remains illuminated,
there may be a problem due to the
front passenger sensing system.
Do not attempt to repair or service the
system. Take your vehicle in for service
immediately.

CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING: Modifying or adding
equipment to the front end of your
vehicle (including hood, bumper system,
frame, front end body structure, tow
hooks and hood pins) may affect the
performance of the airbag system,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not
modify or add equipment to the front
end of your vehicle.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash and
occupant sensors. These sensors provide
information to the restraints control
module which activates the following:
• Front and rear seatbelt pretensioners.
• Driver airbag.
• Passenger airbag.
• Knee airbag(s).
• Front and rear seat mounted side
airbags.
• Adaptive steering column.
• Side curtain airbags.
Based on the type of crash, the restraints
control module deploys the appropriate
safety devices.
The restraints control module also
monitors the readiness of the above safety
devices plus the crash and occupant
sensors. The readiness of the safety
system is indicated by a warning indicator
light in the instrument cluster or by a
backup tone if the warning light is not
working. Routine maintenance of the
airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by
one or more of the following: The readiness light will not
illuminate immediately after you
switch the power on. •
The readiness light either flashes or
stays on.
• You hear a series of five tones. The
tone pattern repeats periodically until
the problem, the light or both are
repaired.
If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced immediately.
Unless serviced, the system may not
function properly in the event of a crash.
The fact that the seatbelt pretensioners
or front airbags did not activate for both
front seat occupants in a crash does not
mean that something is wrong with the
system. Rather, it means the restraints
control module determined the accident
conditions (crash severity, seatbelt usage)
were not appropriate to activate these
safety devices.
• The front airbags activate only in
frontal and near-frontal crashes. Front
airbags may activate in rollovers, side
impacts or rear impacts if the crash
causes sufficient frontal deceleration.
• The seatbelt pretensioners activate in
frontal, near-frontal and side crashes,
and in rollovers.
• The knee airbag deploys based on
crash severity and occupant conditions.
• The side airbags inflate in certain side
impact crashes or rollover events. Side
airbags may activate in other types of
crashes if the vehicle experiences
sufficient sideways motion or
deformation.
• The Safety Canopy inflates in certain
side impact crashes or rollover events.
The Safety Canopy may activate in
other types of crashes if the vehicle
experiences sufficient sideways motion
or deformation, or a certain likelihood
of rollover.

What happens if I cannot unlock the
vehicle with Phone as a Key?
Attempt to move your phone closer to
the vehicle. Check that the FordPass
app is still running and that the Phone
as a Key control screen shows
connected. If the phone is connected,
attempt to press the remote unlock
button in the FordPass app. If the
phone is not connected or the remote
unlock button does not work in the
FordPass app, attempt to force close
and restart the app.
Why do I get a No Key Detected
message in the instrument cluster
display when I am using Phone as a Key
and my phone is in the car? Your phone ’s Bluetooth connection
has been disrupted or is not
connected. Try reconnecting your
phone's Bluetooth connection. Move
the phone closer to the center of the
vehicle near the cup holder or center
console. Verify your Phone as a Key is
still active, enabled and has not been
revoked.
What do I do if my phone is lost,
damaged, or the battery has depleted? Use the Backup Start Passcode that
you created to protect you in the event
that you lose your phone, damage it,
or the battery depletes. See Using
the Backup Start Passcode (page
71).
How many phones can I use for Phone
as a Key? You can program and activate up to
four phones with Phone as a Key to
your vehicle. How does a valet drive my car if I only
use my Phone as a Key?
Have the valet use the temporary valet
passcode that you created when using
valet mode. See
Using the Valet
Mode (page 71).
I uninstalled my FordPass app and
reinstalled it. Why am I not able to get
a new Phone as a Key? Remove the Phone as a Key that was
previously associated with your phone
or reset Phone as a Key from your
vehicle, and then request a new Phone
as a Key. See
Programming Your
Phone (page 70).
Why can I not remotely start the vehicle
with my Phone as a Key? Using the FordPass app, verify your
Phone as a Key setup is complete and
enabled via Bluetooth connection on
at least one phone. If Bluetooth has
connected but Phone as a Key setup
is not complete, complete the setup
of your Phone as a Key, as prompted
from the FordPass app. See
Programming Your Phone
(page
70).

DISPLAY
Displays the approximate range your
vehicle can travel on the battery power
that remains. Estimates vary based on the
energy used when driving and the energy
available in the high voltage battery.
118
2021 Mustang Mach-E (CGW) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 07-06-2021, enUSA, Edition date: 202104, First-Printing Instrument ClusterE323745

The amount of energy being used when
driving is affected by:
•
Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Your vehicle's speed.
• Use of accessories, such as climate
control.
• Ambient temperature and weather
conditions.
• Driving in a city or on a highway.
• Driving on flat or hilly roads.
The available energy capacity in the high
voltage battery is affected by cold
temperatures and battery degradation.
See Preserving Your High Voltage
Battery (page 157).
When your navigation system has an active
route the distance to your destination or
next charging station is also displayed.
Note: It is normal for vehicle range
estimates to vary due to changes in average
energy usage and battery temperature. This
could cause different range estimates each
time you fully charge your battery. See
Maximizing Your Driving Range (page 282
).
Note: When you leave your vehicle
unplugged, it periodically uses energy from
the high voltage battery to recharge the
12-volt accessory battery, resulting in
reduction in vehicle driving range.
WHAT IS THE HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERY GAUGE
Displays the high voltage battery state of
charge in the form of a gauge or a
percentage. A full fill or 100% charge
represents the total amount of energy you
can get from plugging your vehicle in.
The gauge is normally blue. When a low
battery condition is reached the gauge is
amber. When the battery is depleted the
gauge is red. When the full battery gauge is displayed
and your navigation system has an active
route, a symbol is added that represents
the battery charge level needed to reach
your destination or next charging station.
Charging Status
Additional charge information displays
when you power on your vehicle without
pressing the brake pedal and your vehicle
is plugged in. Charging status includes the
charge start or charge end time as
appropriate. When DC charging, the time
at 80% displays followed by the time at
100%. You can modify your vehicle charge
settings on the information and
entertainment display. See
Setting the
Charging Schedule and Preferences
(page
174).
Charge Required to Reach Destination
When the navigation system has an active
route, the instrument cluster displays the
charge level required in order to reach your
destination and the time when that charge
level is available.
WHAT ARE THE INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER WARNING LAMPS
Warning lamps alert you to a vehicle
condition that could become serious.
Some lamps illuminate when you start
your vehicle to make sure they work. If any
lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,
refer to the respective system warning
lamp for further information.
