8.
Remove remaining slack from the
belt. Force the seat down with
extra weight, for example, by
pressing down or kneeling on the
child restraint while pulling down
on the lap belt in order to force
slack from the belt. This is
necessary to remove the remaining
slack that will exist once the extra
weight of the child is added to the
child restraint. It also helps to
achieve the proper snugness of the
child seat to your vehicle.
Sometimes, a slight lean toward
the buckle will additionally help to
remove remaining slack from the
belt.
9. Attach the tether strap (if the child
seat is equipped). 10. 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 and
back. There should be no more
than 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of
movement for proper installation.
Ford recommends checking with a
NHTSA Certified Child Passenger
Safety Technician to make certain the
child restraint is properly installed. In
Canada, check with your local St. John
Ambulance office for referral to a
Certified Passenger Seat Technician.
Using Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) WARNINGS
Never attach two child safety
seats to the same anchor. In a
collision, one anchor may not be
strong enough to hold two child safety
seat attachments and may break,
causing serious injury or death. 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 or 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. 26

•
Height adjuster at the front
outboard seating positions.
• Safety belt pretensioner at the
front outboard seating positions.
• Belt tension sensor at the front
outboard passenger seating
position. •
Safety belt warning light and
chime. •
Crash sensors and monitoring
system with readiness indicator.
The safety belt pretensioners at the
front seating positions are designed
to tighten the safety belts when
activated. In frontal and near-frontal
collisions, the safety belt
pretensioners may be activated alone
or, if the collision is of sufficient
severity, together with the front
airbags. The pretensioners may also
activate when a side curtain airbag is
deployed.
FASTENING THE SAFETY
BELTS
Standard belts shown, inflatable
belts similar
The front outboard and rear safety
restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts. 1. Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle (the buckle closest
to the direction the tongue is
coming from) until you hear a snap
and feel it latch. Make sure the
tongue is securely fastened in the
buckle. 2. To unfasten, press the release
button and remove the tongue
from the buckle.

2. Grasp the lap portion of the belt
and pull upward 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
Disconnect the combination lap and
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the
automatic locking mode and activate
the vehicle sensitive (emergency)
locking mode.
Rear Inflatable Safety Belt (If
Equipped) WARNING
Do not attempt to service, repair,
or modify the rear inflatable
safety belt. The rear inflatable safety belts are
fitted in the shoulder portion of the
safety belts of the second-row
outboard seating positions.
Note:
The rear inflatable safety belts
are compatible with most infant and
child safety car seats and belt
positioning booster seats when
properly installed. This is because they
are designed to fill with a cooled gas
at a lower pressure and at a slower rate
than traditional airbags. After inflation,
the shoulder portion of the safety belt
remains cool to the touch. The rear inflatable safety belt consists
of the following:
•
An inflatable bag located in the
shoulder safety belt webbing.
• Lap safety belt webbing with
automatic locking mode.
• The same warning light, electronic
control and diagnostic unit as used
for the front safety belts.
• Impact sensors located in various
parts of the vehicle.
How does the rear inflatable safety
belt system work?
The rear inflatable safety belts will
function like standard restraints in
everyday usage. During a collision of sufficient force,
the inflatable belt will inflate from
inside the webbing.

Adjust the height of the shoulder belt
so the belt rests across the middle of
your shoulder.
To adjust the shoulder belt height,
press the button and slide the height
adjuster up or down. Release the
button and pull down on the height
adjuster to make sure it is locked in
place.

SAFETY BELT MINDER
Belt-Minder®
This feature supplements the safety
belt warning function by providing
additional reminders by intermittently
sounding a chime and illuminating the
safety belt warning light when the
driver's or front passenger's seat is
occupied and the safety belt is
unbuckled.
The system uses information from the
front passenger sensing system to
determine if a front seat passenger is
present and therefore potentially in
need of a warning. To avoid activating
the Belt-Minder feature for objects
placed in the front passenger seat,
warnings will only be given to front
seat occupants as determined by the
front passenger sensing system.
If the Belt-Minder warnings have
expired (warnings for approximately
five minutes) for one occupant (driver
or front passenger), the other
occupant can still activate the
Belt-Minder feature. Then...
If...
The Belt-Minder feature will notactivate.

Deactivating and Activating the
Belt-Minder Feature
WARNING
While the system allows you to
deactivate it, this system is
designed to improve your chances of
being safely belted and surviving an
accident. We recommend you leave
the system activated for yourself and
others who may use the vehicle. To
reduce the risk of injury, do not
deactivate or activate the system
while driving the vehicle. Note:
The driver and front passenger
warning are deactivated and activated
independently. When deactivating or
activating one seating position, do not
buckle the other position as this will
terminate the process.
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before
proceeding with the deactivation or
activation programming procedure.
The system can be deactivated or
activated by performing the following
procedure:
Before following the procedure, make
sure that:
• the parking brake is set
• the transmission selector lever is
in position P (automatic
transmission) or N (manual
transmission)
• the ignition is off
• the driver and front passenger
safety belts are unbuckled.
1. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT START THE ENGINE. 2. Wait until the safety belt warning
light turns off (approximately one
minute). After Step 2, wait an
additional five seconds before
proceeding with Step 3. Once Step
3 is started, the procedure must be
completed within 30 seconds.
3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the
safety belt three times at a
moderate speed, ending in the
unbuckled state. After Step 3, the
safety belt warning light will turn
on.
4. While the safety belt warning light
is on, buckle and then unbuckle the
safety belt. After Step 4, the safety
belt warning light will flash for
confirmation.
• This will disable the feature for
that seating position if it is
currently enabled.
• This will enable the feature for that
seating position if it is currently
disabled.

The Personal Safety System provides
an improved overall level of frontal
crash protection to front seat
occupants and is designed to help
further reduce the risk of
airbag-related injuries. The system is
able to analyze different occupant
conditions and crash severity before
activating the appropriate safety
devices to help better protect a range
of occupants in a variety of frontal
crash situations.
Your vehicle's Personal Safety System
consists of:
•
Driver and passenger dual-stage
airbag supplemental restraints.
• Front outboard safety belts with
pretensioners, energy
management retractors (first row
only), and safety belt usage
sensors.
• Driver ’s seat position sensor.
• Front passenger sensing system.
• Passenger airbag off and on
indicator lamp.
• Front crash severity sensors.
• Restraints Control Module with
impact and safing sensors.
• Restraint system warning light and
backup tone.
• The electrical wiring for the
airbags, crash sensor(s), safety
belt pretensioners, front safety belt
usage sensors, driver seat position
sensor, front passenger sensing
system, and indicator lights. How Does the Personal Safety
System Work?
The Personal Safety System can
adapt the deployment strategy of
your vehicle
’s safety devices
according to crash severity and
occupant conditions. A collection of
crash and occupant sensors provides
information to the Restraints Control
Module. During a crash, the Restraints
Control Module may activate the
safety belt pretensioners and may
activate either one or both stages of
the dual-stage airbag supplemental
restraints based on crash severity and
occupant conditions.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER
AIRBAGS
WARNINGS
Never place your arm or any
objects over an airbag module.
Placing your arm over a deploying
airbag can result in serious arm
fractures or other injuries. Objects
placed on or over the airbag inflation
area may cause those objects to be
propelled by the airbag into your face
and torso causing serious injury. 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. The driver and front passenger airbags
will deploy during significant frontal
and near frontal collisions.
The driver and passenger front airbag
system consists of:
•
Driver and passenger airbag
modules.
• Front passenger sensing system. · Crash sensors and
monitoring system with
readiness indicator. See
Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 51).
Proper Driver and Front
Passenger Seating Adjustment WARNING
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA)
recommends a minimum distance of
at least 10 in. (25 cm) between an
occupant’ s chest and the driver airbag
module. To properly position yourself away
from the airbag:
•
Move your seat to the rear as far
as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
• Recline the seat slightly (one or
two degrees) from the upright
position.
After all occupants have adjusted
their seats and put on safety belts, it’ s
very important that they continue to
sit properly. A properly seated
occupant sits upright, leaning against
the seat back, 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 is greatly increased.
