Restraint of Pregnant Women
WARNING
Always ride and drive with your
seatback upright and the safety
belt properly fastened. The lap portion
of the safety belt should fit snug and
be positioned low across the hips. The
shoulder portion of the safety belt
should be positioned across the chest.
Pregnant women should also follow
this practice. See the following figure. Pregnant women should always wear
their safety belt. The lap belt portion
of a combination lap and shoulder
belt should be positioned low across
the hips below the belly and worn as
tight as comfort will allow. The
shoulder belt should be positioned to
cross the middle of the shoulder and
the center of the chest. Safety Belt Locking Modes WARNINGS
After any vehicle crash, the
safety belt system at all
passenger seating positions must be
checked by an authorized dealer to
verify that the automatic locking
retractor feature for child seats is still
functioning properly. In addition, all
safety belts should be checked for
proper function. Belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the safety
belt assembly automatic locking
retractor feature or any other safety
belt function is not operating properly
when checked by an authorized
dealer. Failure to replace the belt and
retractor assembly could increase the
risk of injury in crashes. All safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts.
The driver safety belt has the first type
of locking mode, and the front
outboard passenger and rear seat
safety belts have both types of locking
modes described as follows:
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

MKZ (CC9) Safety BeltsE142590

The fully inflated belt's increased
diameter more effectively holds the
occupant in the appropriate seating
position, and spreads crash forces
over more area of the body than
regular safety belts. This helps reduce
pressure on the chest and helps
control head and neck motion for
passengers.
WARNING
If the rear inflatable safety belt
has deployed, it will not function
again. The rear inflatable safety belt
system must be replaced by an
authorized dealer. The rear inflatable safety belts are
designed to inflate in frontal or
near-frontal crashes and some side
impact crashes. The fact that the rear
inflatable safety belt did not inflate in
a crash does not mean that
something is wrong with the system.
Rather, it means the forces were not
of the type sufficient to cause
activation. Safety Belt Extension
Assembly WARNINGS
Do not use extensions to change
the fit of the shoulder belt across
the torso. Do not use extensions with an
inflatable safety belt.
If the safety belt is too short when
fully extended, a safety belt extension
assembly can be obtained from an
authorized dealer.
Use only extensions manufactured by
the same supplier as the safety belt.
Manufacturer identification is located
at the end of the webbing on the label.
A safety belt extension is not available
for the inflatable safety belt. Also, use
the safety belt extension only if the
safety belt is too short for you when
fully extended.
SAFETY BELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
Position the safety belt height
adjusters so that the belt rests
across the middle of your shoulder.
Failure to adjust the safety belt
properly could reduce the
effectiveness of the safety belt and
increase the risk of injury in a crash. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt
so the belt rests across the middle of
your shoulder.

Proper Driver and Front
Passenger Seating Adjustment
WARNING
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA)
recommends a minimum distance of
at least 10 inches (25 centimeters)
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
is 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. Children and Airbags WARNING
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 upon which the
child seat is installed all the way back. Children must always be properly
restrained. Accident statistics suggest
that children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions
than in the front seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions
may increase the risk of injury in a
crash.
KNEE AIRBAG
A driver
’s and passenger ’s knee airbag
is located under or within the
instrument panel. During a crash, the
restraints control module may
activate the driver ’s and passenger ’s
knee airbag (individually or both)
based on crash severity and
respective occupant conditions. Under

Both heated mirrors remove ice, mist
and fog when you switch on the
heated rear window.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin
air filter. It is located behind the glove
box.
The particulate filtration system
reduces the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and
pollen in the air supplied to the interior
of your vehicle.
Note:
To prevent foreign objects from
entering the system, make sure the
cabin air is in place at all times.
Running the system without a filter in
place could result in degradation or
damage to the system.
The particulate filtration system gives
you and your passengers the following
benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior
compartment cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle
deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals.
See Scheduled Maintenance (page
444).
For additional cabin air filter
information, or to replace the filter,
see an authorized dealer. REMOTE START
The climate control system adjusts
the cabin temperature during remote
start.
You cannot adjust the system during
remote start operation. Turn the
ignition on to return the system to its
previous settings. You can now make
adjustments. You need to turn certain
vehicle-dependent features back on,
such as:
•
heated seats
• cooled seats
• heated steering wheel
• heated mirrors
• heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the
information display controls.
See
Information Displays (page 103).
Automatic Settings
You can set the climate control to
operate in AUTO mode through the
information display setting: Remote
Start > Climate Control > Heater-A/C
> Auto. The climate control system
automatically sets the interior
temperature to 72°F (22°C).
In hot weather, the system is set to
72°F (22°C). Cooled seats are set to
high (if available, and selected to
AUTO in the information display).
In moderate weather, the system
either heats or cools (based on
previous settings). The rear defroster,
heated mirrors and heated/cooled
seats do not automatically turn on.
