DATA RECORDING
Service Data Recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and
storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may
access or share among them vehicle diagnostic information received
through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing
your vehicle. Additionally, when your vehicle is in for service or repair,
Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities
may access or share among them data for vehicle improvement purposes.
For U.S. only (if equipped), if you choose to use the SYNC® Vehicle
Health Report, you consent that certain diagnostic information may also
be accessed electronically by Ford Motor Company and Ford authorized
service facilities, and that the diagnostic information may be used for any
purpose. See theSYNC®chapter for more information.
Event Data Recording
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle; this data will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
•Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
•How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator
and/or the brake pedal;
•How fast the vehicle was travelling;
•Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.
This data can help provide a better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
Note: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION
WARNING:Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat
back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seat
back, with your feet on the floor.
WARNING:Do not recline the seat back as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe
personal injury in the event of a crash.
WARNING:Do not place objects higher than the seat backs to
reduce the risk of injury in a crash or during heavy braking or
when stopping suddenly.
When you use them properly, the
seat, head restraint, safety belt and
airbags will provide optimum
protection in the event of a crash.
We recommend that you follow
these guidelines:
•
Do not recline the seat back more
than 30 degrees from vertical.
•Sit in an upright position with the
base of your spine as far back as
possible.
•Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of
your head and as far forward as possible, remaining comfortable.
•Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 inches (25 centimeters) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.
•Hold the steering wheel with your arms slightly bent.
•Bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully.
•Position the shoulder strap of the safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can
maintain full control of your vehicle.

Operating AWD Vehicles With Spare Tires
A spare tire of a different size other than the tire provided should never
be used. The AWD system may disable automatically and enter
front-wheel drive only mode to protect driveline components if a non-full
sized tire is installed. This condition may be indicated by an AWD Off
message in the information display. If there is an AWD Off message in
the message center from using a non-full sized spare tire, this indicator
should turn off after reinstalling the repaired or replaced normal road
tire and cycling the ignition off and on. It is recommended to reinstall
the repaired or replaced road tire as soon as possible. Major dissimilar
tire sizes between the front and rear axles could cause the AWD system
to stop functioning and default to front-wheel drive or damage the AWD
system.
Major dissimilar tire sizes between the front and rear axles (for example,
17 inch low profile tires on the front axle and 22 inch high profile tires
on the rear axle) could cause the AWD system to stop functioning and
default to front-wheel drive or damage the AWD system. However, the
AWD system is capable of tolerating any combination of new and worn
tires of the same original tire size. For example, using 3 worn tread tires
and 1 new tread tire all of the same original tire size, can be tolerated by
the AWD system.
Operating AWD Vehicles With Mismatched Tires
WARNING:Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the
same size, load index, speed rating and type (such as P-metric
versus LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally
provided by Ford. The recommended tire and wheel size may be found on
either the Safety Compliance Certification Label (affixed to either the door
hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the door edge that meets the door-latch
post, next to the driver’s seating position), or the Tire Label which is
located on the B-Pillar or edge of the driver’s door. If this information is not
found on these labels, then you should contact your authorized dealer as
soon as possible. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can
affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an
increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death. Additionally the use of non-recommended tires and wheels could
cause steering, suspension, axle, transfer case or power transfer unit
failure. If you have questions regarding tire replacement, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
