Replacing headlamp bulbs
To remove the headlamps from the vehicle to change the HIGH BEAM
bulb:
1. Make sure the headlampswitch is
in the OFF position, then open the
hood.
2. Remove the plastic radiator cover
over the headlamps by grasping the
rear edge of the cover and pulling
upand toward you. This will
disengage the four snap-on
attachment of the cover. Set the
cover aside.
3. Pry back the topcorner of the
radiator cover to gain access to the
inner retaining pins. At the back of
the headlamp, pry up and remove
the two retainer pins to release the
headlampassembly from the vehicle
and pull headlamp forward.
4. Disconnect the electrical
connector by pulling downward.
5. Rotate the high beam bulb
counterclockwise until the tabs on
the bulb line upwith the ring, and
the bulb can be removed by pulling
rearward.
To install the new bulb:
Handle a halogen headlampbulb carefully and keepout of
children’s reach. Graspthe bulb only by its plastic base and do

•Front and rear seats
All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lapand shoulder
belts. All of the passenger combination lap and shoulder belts have two
types of locking modes described below:
Vehicle sensitive mode
This is the normal retractor mode, which allows free shoulder belt length
adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle
movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of approximately 8 km/h (5
mph) or more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce
forward movement of the driver and passengers.
Automatic locking mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt is pre-locked. The belt will still retract to
remove any slack in the shoulder belt.
The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.
When to use the automatic locking mode
•Anytimea child safety seat (except a booster) is installed in the
vehicle. Children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained
in the rear seat whenever possible. Refer toSafety restraints for
childrenorSafety seats for childrenlater in this chapter.

How to use the automatic locking mode
1. Buckle the combination lapand
shoulder belt.
2. Graspthe shoulder portion and
pull downward until the entire belt
is pulled out.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic locking
mode.
How to disengage the automatic locking mode
Unbuckle the combination lapand shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
After any vehicle collision, the combination lapand shoulder belt
system at all passenger seating positions must be checked by a
qualified technician to verify that the “automatic locking retractor”
feature for child seats is still functioning properly, in addition to other
checks for proper seat belt system function.

When installing a child safety seat:
•Review and follow the information
presented in theAir bag
supplemental restraint system
(SRS) section in this chapter.
•Use the correct safety belt buckle
for that seating position (the
buckle closest to the direction the
tongue is coming from).
•Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle until you hear a
snapand feel it latch. Make sure
the tongue is securely fastened in
the buckle.
•Keepthe buckle release button
pointing up and away from the
safety seat, with the tongue
between the child seat and the
release button, to prevent accidental unbuckling.
•Place seat back in upright position.
•Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer toAutomatic
locking mode(passenger side front and all rear seating positions) (if
equipped) section in this chapter.
Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a toptether
strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position with a tether
anchor. For more information on toptether straps, refer toAttaching
child safety seats with tether straps.in this chapter.
Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions included
with the safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install
and use the safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden
stopor collision.
Rear-facing child seats or infant carriers should never be placed
in the front seats.

3. While holding the shoulder and
lapbelt 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 snapand 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, graspthe
shoulder portion of the belt and pull
downward until all of the belt is
pulled out and a click is heard.

6. Allow the belt to retract. The belt will click as it retracts to indicate it
is in the automatic locking mode.
7. Pull the lapbelt portion across
the child seat toward the buckle and
pull up on the shoulder belt while
pushing down with your knee on the
child seat.
8. Allow the safety belt to retract to
remove any slack in the belt.
9. Before placing the child in the
seat, forcibly move the seat forward
and back to make sure the seat is
securely held in place. To check
this, grab the seat at the belt path
and attempt to move it side to side
and forward. There should be no
more than one inch of movement for
proper installation.
10. 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
two through nine.
Check to make sure the child seat is properly secured before each use.
