•
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.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use cleaners or solvents as this
could damage your mobile charger. Do not
place stress on the charger cables. If unit
overheats, remove the mobile charger from
direct sunlight.
SAFETY FEATURES
The charger includes the following safety
features to protect against the risk of
electric shock:
•
Service Ground Check: The charger
constantly checks for the presence of
a service ground connection. If the
service ground ever fails, the charger
red indicator turns ON and shuts down
power to the vehicle.
• Thermal Event Sensor: Charger module
senses out-of-ordinary thermal events
and decreases the charging current or
shuts the unit down if required.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
Protection: The charger has a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) reaction
system to protect against electric
shock. If the charger module detects
an output ground fault, it shuts down
power to the output cable and
illuminates the red indicator.
• Insulation: The charger module,
connector, cable assembly, and charge
coupler are completely insulated.
There are no exposed live parts, to
protect against electric shock.
• Unintentional Disconnection: The
charge coupler is designed to minimize
unintentional disconnection. A pilot
signal wire in the cable and charge
coupler eliminates the possibility of
electric shock when not connected to
a vehicle or if an unintended disconnect
occurs during a charge. Disconnection
during charging is safe. LOCATING THE CHARGE PORT
The charge port is between the front
left-hand side door and front left-hand
wheel well. To open, press the center
right-hand edge of the charge port door
and then release.
Note:
Do not apply excessive force. Forcing
the door open or closed damages the charge
port.
CHARGE PORT INDICATORS
The charge status indicator is next to the
charging port behind the charge port door.
It indicates the charge status of the high
voltage battery in your vehicle.
Divided into five zones, the charge status
indicator displays the state of charge in 20
percent increments.
The charge status indicator displays how
far along the charge is:
• When zone A is pulsing, the charge is
between 0-20 percent.
• When zone A illuminates, and zone B
is pulsing, the charge is between 20-40
percent.
• When zones A and B illuminate and
zone C is pulsing, the charge is between
40-60 percent.

2021 Mustang Mach-E (CGW) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 07-06-2021, enUSA, Edition date: 202104, First-Printing Charging Your VehicleE317346

•
When zones A, B, and C illuminate, and
zone D is pulsing, the charge is between
60-80 percent.
• When zones A, B, C, and D illuminate,
and zone E is pulsing, the charge is
between 80-100 percent.
• When all zones illuminate, the charge
is 100 percent. Note:
When charging stops, the charge
status indicator shows all the completed
zones solidly illuminated up in a blue color
for 30 seconds before turning off. For
example, if charging stops at 70 percent,
then A, B, and C light up solidly to indicate
a battery charge level of at least 60 percent
but less than 80 percent. Charging stops
when complete or when paused due to
charge settings or charge station actions.
Note: If the charge status indicator does
not light up or pulse after plugging in, please
verify that the charge port light setting is On.
If you do not wish to have the charge status
indicator light up at all while charging, then
you can turn it Off. Locate the charge port
light under the vehicle settings on your
in-vehicle touchscreen.
There are three charge port indicator light
colors, which indicate a specific action:
White is used as a courtesy light to help
with plugging in and to acknowledge
actions such as plugging in and unplugging. Blue is used when the vehicle is plugged in
and either charging or waiting to charge.
Amber is used to indicate charge faults.
Note:
Charging faults are identified by the
color amber on the charge status indicator.
Faults can occur within the vehicle charging
system or outside the vehicle, such as with
the mobile charger, charge station or
electrical supply.
Note: If the system detects a fault in the
vehicle charging system at any point in a
charge cycle, the entire charge status
indicator illuminates solidly in an amber
color for 30 seconds and then turns off. If
this happens, unplug the charge coupler and
then plug it back into the charge port
receptacle. If the problem persists, have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
Note: If the system detects a fault outside
the vehicle, such as with the charge station
or mobile charger, the entire charge status
indicator flashes amber continuously for 30
seconds and then turns off. If this happens
check the mobile charger, charge station or
electrical supply.
AC CHARGING
CONNECTING THE CHARGER Charging Using the Mobile Charger
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE- The plug must be properly
