Warranty on Replacement
Parts
Genuine Ford and Motorcraft
replacement parts are the only
replacement parts that benefit from
a Ford Warranty. Damage caused to
your vehicle as a result of the failure
of non-Ford parts may not be covered
by the Ford Warranty. For additional
information, refer to the terms and
conditions of the Ford Warranty.
SPECIAL NOTICES
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
For a detailed description of what is
covered and what is not covered by
your vehicle
’s New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, refer to the Warranty
Manual that is provided to you along
with your Owner ’s Manual.
Special Instructions
For your added safety, your vehicle is
fitted with sophisticated electronic
controls. WARNINGS
Failure to follow the specific
warnings and instructions could
result in personal injury. See
Supplementary Restraints System
(page 42). Front seat mounted rear-facing
child or infant seats should
NEVER
be placed in front of an active
passenger airbag. MOBILE
COMMUNICATIONS
EQUIPMENT
Using mobile communications
equipment is becoming increasingly
important in the conduct of business
and personal affairs. However, you
must not compromise your own or
others’
safety when using such
equipment. Mobile communications
can enhance personal safety and
security when appropriately used,
particularly in emergency situations.
Safety must be paramount when
using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these
benefits. Mobile communication
equipment includes, but is not limited
to, cellular phones, pagers, portable
email devices, text messaging devices
and portable two-way radios. WARNING
Driving while distracted can
result in loss of vehicle control,
accident and injury. We strongly
recommend that you use extreme
caution when using any device or
feature that may take your focus off
the road. Your primary responsibility
is the safe operation of your vehicle.
We recommend against the use of any
handheld device while driving and that
you comply with all applicable laws. 13
Introduction

•
You are required by law to properly
use safety seats for infants and
toddlers in the United States and
Canada.
• Many states and provinces require
that small children use approved
booster seats until they reach age
eight, a height of 4 feet 9 inches
(1.45 meters) tall, or 80 pounds
(36 kilograms). Check your local
and state or provincial laws for
specific requirements about the
safety of children in your vehicle.
• When possible, always properly
restrain children twelve years of
age and under in a rear seating
position of your vehicle. Accident
statistics suggest that children are
safer when properly restrained in
the rear seating positions than in
a front seating position. See Front
Passenger Sensing System
(page 45).
CHILD SEAT POSITIONING WARNINGS
Airbags can kill or injure a child
in a child seat. NEVER place a
rear-facing child seat in front of an
active airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child seat in the front
seat, move your vehicle seat all the
way back. When possible, all children
age 12 and under should be properly
restrained in a rear seating position. If
all children cannot be seated and
restrained properly in a rear seating
position, properly restrain the largest
child in the front seat. WARNINGS
Always carefully follow the
instructions and warnings
provided by the manufacturer of any
child restraint to determine if the
restraint device is appropriate for your
child's size, height, weight, or age.
Follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions and
warnings provided for installation and
use in conjunction with the
instructions and warnings provided by
your vehicle manufacturer. A safety
seat that is improperly installed or
utilized, is inappropriate for your
child's height, age, or weight or does
not properly fit the child may increase
the risk of serious injury or death. Never let a passenger hold a
child on his or her lap while your
vehicle is moving. The passenger
cannot protect the child from injury in
a collision, which may result in serious
injury or death. Never use pillows, books, or
towels to boost a child. They can
slide around and increase the
likelihood of injury or death in a
collision. Always restrain an unoccupied
child seat or booster seat. These
objects may become projectiles in a
collision or sudden stop, which may
increase the risk of serious injury.

Child Safety

WARNINGS
Never place, or allow a child to
place, the shoulder belt under a
child's arm or behind the back
because it reduces the protection for
the upper part of the body and may WARNINGS
increase the risk of injury or death in a
collision. Do not leave children or pets
unattended in your vehicle.

Note: The child seat must rest tightly
against your vehicle seat. It may be
necessary to lift or remove the head
restraint. See Seats (page 131). BOOSTER SEATS WARNING
Never place, or allow a child to
place, the shoulder belt under a
child's arm or behind the back
because it reduces the protection for
the upper part of the body and may
increase the risk of injury or death in a
collision. 18
Child Safety

If the booster seat slides on your
vehicle seat, placing a rubberized
mesh sold as shelf or carpet liner
under the booster seat may improve
this condition. Do not introduce any
item thicker than this under the
booster seat. Check with the booster
seat manufacturer's instructions.
INSTALLING CHILD SEATS
Child Seats
Use a child safety seat (sometimes
called an infant carrier, convertible
seat, or toddler seat) for infants,
toddlers, or children weighing 40
pounds (18 kilograms) or less
(generally age four or younger). Using Lap and Shoulder Belts WARNINGS
Airbags can kill or injure a child
in a child seat. NEVER place a
rear-facing child seat in front of an
active airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child seat in the front
seat, move the seat all the way back. Children 12 and under should be
properly restrained in the rear
seat whenever possible. Depending on where you secure
a child restraint, and depending
on the child restraint design, you may
block access to certain safety belt
buckle assemblies and LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features
potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, occupants should only use
seating positions where they are able
to be properly restrained. 21
Child SafetyE142597 E142594

When installing a child safety seat
with combination lap and shoulder
belts:
•
Use the correct safety belt buckle
for that seating position.
• Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle until you hear a snap
and feel it latch. Make sure the
tongue is securely fastened in the
buckle.
• Keep the 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 your vehicle seat back in the
upright position.
• Put the safety belt in the
automatic locking mode. See Step
5. This vehicle does not require the
use of a locking clip.
Perform the following steps when
installing the child seat with
combination lap and shoulder belts:
Note: Although the child seat
illustrated is a forward facing child
seat, the steps are the same for
installing a rear facing child seat. Standard safety belts 1. Position the child safety seat in a
seat with a combination lap and
shoulder belt. 2. After positioning the child safety
seat in the proper seating position,
pull down on the shoulder belt and
then grasp the shoulder belt and
lap belt together behind the belt
tongue.

Child SafetyE142528 E142529

3.
While holding the shoulder and lap
belt 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 snap and
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, grasp the
shoulder portion of the belt and
pull downward until all of the belt
is pulled out.
Note: The automatic locking mode is
available on the front passenger and
rear seats.
6. Allow the belt to retract to remove
slack. The belt will click as it
retracts to indicate it is in the
automatic locking mode.
7. 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 5 and 6. 23
