If it is necessary to modify an advanced frontairbag system to accommodate a personwith disabilities, contact the Ford CustomerRelationship Center. See Getting theServices You Need (page 260).
SIDE AIRBAGS
WARNINGS
Do not place objects or mountequipment on or near the airbag cover,on the side of the seatbacks (of the frontseats), or in front seat areas that may comeinto contact with a deploying airbag. Failureto follow these instructions may increase therisk of personal injury in the event of a crash.
Do not use accessory seat covers. Theuse of accessory seat covers mayprevent the deployment of the side airbagsand increase the risk of injury in an accident.
Do not lean your head on the door. Theside airbag could injure you as itdeploys from the side of the seatback.
WARNINGS
Do not attempt to service, repair, ormodify the airbag, its fuses or the seatcover on a seat containing an airbag as youcould be seriously injured or killed. Contactyour authorized dealer as soon as possible.
If the side airbag has deployed, theairbag will not function again. The sideairbag system (including the seat) must beinspected and serviced by an authorizeddealer. If the airbag is not replaced, theunrepaired area will increase the risk of injuryin a crash.
The side airbags are located on the outboardside of the seatbacks of the front seats. Incertain sideways crashes, the airbag on theside affected by the crash will be inflated.The airbag was designed to inflate betweenthe door panel and occupant to furtherenhance the protection provided occupantsin side impact crashes.
The system consists of the following:
•A label or embossed side panelindicating that side airbags are fitted toyour vehicle.
•Side airbags located inside the driver andfront passenger seatbacks.
•Front passenger sensing system.

12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electricalaccessories into the cigar lightersocket. Incorrect use of the cigar lighter cancause damage not covered by the vehiclewarranty, and can result in fire or seriousinjury.
Note:When you switch the ignition on, youcan use the socket to power 12 voltappliances with a maximum current ratingof 15 amps.
If the power supply does not work after youswitch the ignition off, switch the ignition on.Note:Do not hang any accessory from theaccessory plug.
Note:Do not use the power point over thevehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts ora fuse may blow.
Note:Always keep the power point capsclosed when not in use.
Do not insert objects other than an accessoryplug into the power point. This damages thepower point and may blow the fuse.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of thepower point.
To prevent the battery from running out ofcharge:
•Do not use the power point longer thannecessary when the engine is notrunning.
•Do not leave devices plugged inovernight or when you park your vehiclefor extended periods.

•On the front of the center console.
•Inside the center console.
•On the rear of the center console.
•In the cargo area.
110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped)
WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices pluggedin the power point whenever thedevice is not in use. Do not use anyextension cord with the 110 volt AC powerpoint, since it will defeat the safety protectiondesign. Doing so may cause the power pointto overload due to powering multiple devicesthat can reach beyond the 150 watt load limitand could result in fire or serious injury.
Note:The power point turns off when youswitch off the ignition, or when the batteryvoltage drops below 11 volts.
You can use the power point for electricdevices that require up to 150 watts. It is onthe rear of the center console.

TOWING A TRAILER
WARNINGS
Towing trailers beyond themaximum recommended grosstrailer weight exceeds the limit of yourvehicle and could result in enginedamage, transmission damage,structural damage, loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover and personalinjury.
Do not exceed the GVWR or theGAWR specified on the certificationlabel.
Note: See Recommended TowingWeights (page 243).
Your vehicle may have electrical items,such as fuses or relays, related totowing. See Fuses (page 268).
Your vehicle's load capacity designationis by weight, not by volume, so youcannot necessarily use all availablespace when loading a vehicle or trailer.
Towing a trailer places an extra load onyour vehicle's engine, transmission, axle,brakes, tires and suspension. Inspectthese components periodically during,and after, any towing operation.
Load Placement
To help minimize how trailer movementaffects your vehicle when driving:
•Load the heaviest items closest tothe trailer floor.
•Load the heaviest items centeredbetween the left and right side trailertires.
•Load the heaviest items above thetrailer axles or just slightly forwardtoward the trailer tongue. Do notallow the final trailer tongue weightto go above or below 10-15% of theloaded trailer weight.
•Select a ball mount with the correctrise or drop and load capacity. Whenboth the loaded vehicle and trailerare connected, the trailer frameshould be level, or slightly angleddown toward your vehicle, whenviewed from the side.
When driving with a trailer or payload, aslight takeoff vibration or shudder maybe present due to the increased payloadweight. Additional information regardingproper trailer loading and setting yourvehicle up for towing is located inanother chapter of this manual. SeeLoad Limit (page 237).
You can also find information in the RV& Trailer Towing Guide available at yourauthorized dealer, or online.
