MKZ (CC9) Introduction

The safety belt system consists of:
•
lap and shoulder safety belts.
• shoulder safety belt with
automatic locking mode, (except
driver safety belt).
• 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
crashes, the safety belt pretensioners
may be activated alone or, if the crash
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 you
securely fasten the tongue in the
buckle. 2. To unfasten, press the release
button and remove the tongue
from the buckle.

MKZ (CC9) Safety Belts E142587 E142588

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 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 crash of sufficient force, the
inflatable belt will inflate from inside
the webbing.

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.

While the system is designed to help
reduce serious injuries, contact with a
deploying airbag may also cause
abrasions or swelling. Temporary
hearing loss is also a possibility as a
result of the noise associated with a
deploying airbag. Because airbags
must inflate rapidly and with
considerable force, there is the risk of
death or serious injuries such as
fractures, facial and eye injuries or
internal injuries, particularly to
occupants who are not properly
restrained or are otherwise out of
position at the time of airbag
deployment. Thus, it is extremely
important that occupants be properly
restrained as far away from the airbag
module as possible while maintaining
vehicle control.
Routine maintenance of the airbags
is not required.
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. 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 upon which the
child seat is installed all the way back. The driver and front passenger airbags
will deploy during significant frontal
and near frontal crashes.
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 50).

MKZ (CC9) Supplementary Restraints SystemE151127

certain crash and occupant
conditions, the driver
’s and
passenger ’s knee airbag may deploy
(individually or both) but the
corresponding front airbag may not
activate. As with front and side
airbags, it is important to be properly
seated and restrained to reduce the
risk of death or serious injury. Make sure the knee airbags
are operating properly. See
Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator
(page 50).
FRONT PASSENGER
SENSING SYSTEM WARNINGS
Even with Advanced Restraints
Systems, children 12 and under
should be properly restrained in a rear
seating position. Failure to follow this
could seriously increase the risk of
injury or death. Sitting improperly out of position
or with the seat back reclined too
far can take off weight from the seat
cushion and affect the decision of the
front passenger sensing system,
resulting in serious injury or death in a
crash. Always sit upright against your
seat back, with your feet on the floor. Any alteration or modification to
the front passenger seat may
affect the performance of the front
passenger sensing system which
could seriously increase the risk of
injury or death. This system works with sensors that
are part of the front passenger
’s seat
and safety belt to detect the presence
of a properly-seated occupant and
determine if the front passenger ’s
frontal airbag should be enabled (may
inflate) or not. The front passenger sensing system
uses a passenger airbag status
indicator that will illuminate indicating
that the front passenger frontal airbag
is either ON (enabled) or OFF
(disabled).
The indicator lamp is located in the
center stack of the instrument panel.
Note:
The passenger airbag status
indicator OFF and ON indicator lamps
will illuminate for a short period of time
when the ignition is first turned on to
confirm it is functional.
The front passenger sensing system
is designed to disable (will not inflate)
the front passenger's frontal airbag
when the front passenger seat is
unoccupied, or a rear facing infant
seat, a forward-facing child restraint,
or a booster seat is detected. Even
with this technology, parents are
45
MKZ (CC9) Supplementary Restraints System E151849

strongly encouraged to always
properly restrain children in the rear
seat. The sensor also turns off the
passenger front airbag and
seat-mounted side airbag when the
passenger seat is empty.
• When the front passenger sensing
system disables (will not inflate)
the front passenger frontal airbag,
the passenger airbag status
indicator will illuminate the OFF
lamp and stay lit to remind you
that the front passenger frontal
airbag is disabled.
• If the child restraint has been
installed and the passenger airbag
status indicator illuminates the ON
lamp, then turn the vehicle off,
remove the child restraint from the
vehicle and reinstall the restraint
following the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions.
The front passenger sensing system
is designed to enable (may inflate)
the front passenger's frontal airbag
anytime the system senses that a
person of adult size is sitting properly
in the front passenger seat. •
When the front passenger sensing
system enables the front
passenger frontal airbag (may
inflate), the passenger airbag
status indicator will illuminate the
ON lamp and remain illuminated.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the
front passenger ’s seat, but the airbag
off indicator lamp is lit, it is possible
that the person isn ’t sitting properly
in the seat. If this happens:
• Turn the vehicle off and ask the
person to place the seat back in
the full upright position.
• Have the person sit upright in the
seat, centered on the seat cushion,
with the person ’s legs comfortably
extended.
• Restart the vehicle and have the
person remain in this position for
about two minutes. This will allow
the system to detect that person
and enable the passenger ’s frontal
airbag.
• If the indicator OFF lamp remains
lit even after this, the person
should be advised to ride in the
rear seat. Passenger airbag

airbag may be disabled to avoid the
risk of airbag deployment injuries.
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.
The conditions listed above may
cause the weight of a properly seated
occupant to be incorrectly interpreted
by the front passenger sensing
system. The person in the front
passenger seat may appear heavier
or lighter due to the conditions
described in the list above. To know if the front
passenger sensing system is
operating properly, See
Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 50). Do not attempt to repair or service the
system. Take your vehicle
immediately to an authorized dealer.
If it is necessary to modify an
advanced front airbag system to
accommodate a person with
disabilities, contact the Ford
Customer Relationship Center. See
Getting the Services You Need
(page
258).
SIDE AIRBAGS WARNINGS
Do not place objects or mount
equipment on or near the airbag
cover, on the side of the seatbacks (of
the front seats), or in front seat areas
that may come into contact with a
deploying airbag. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the
risk of personal injury in the event of
a crash. Do not use accessory seat
covers. The use of accessory
seat covers may prevent the
deployment of the side airbags and
increase the risk of injury in an
accident.
47
MKZ (CC9) Supplementary Restraints System

WARNINGS
Do not lean your head on the
door. The side airbag could injure
you as it deploys from the side of the
seatback. Do not attempt to service, repair,
or modify the airbag, its fuses or
the seat cover on a seat containing an
airbag as you could be seriously
injured or killed. Contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible. If the side airbag has deployed,
the airbag will not function again.
The side airbag system (including the
seat) must be inspected and serviced
by an authorized dealer. If the airbag
is not replaced, the unrepaired area
will increase the risk of injury in a
crash. The side airbags are located on the
outboard side of the seatbacks of the
front seats. In certain sideways
crashes, the airbag on the side
affected by the crash will be inflated.
The airbag was designed to inflate
between the door panel and occupant
to further enhance the protection
provided occupants in side impact
crashes. The system consists of the following:
•
A label or embossed side panel
indicating that side airbags are
fitted to your vehicle.
• Side airbags located inside the
driver and front passenger
seatbacks.
• Front passenger sensing system. ·Crash sensors and
monitoring system with
readiness indicator. See
Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 50).
Note: The passenger sensing system
will deactivate the passenger
seat-mounted side airbag if it detects
an empty passenger seat.
The design and development of the
side airbag system included
recommended testing procedures
that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as
the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing
procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of
side airbags.
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS WARNINGS
Do not place objects or mount
equipment on or near the
headliner at the siderail that may
come into contact with a deploying
side curtain airbag. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the
risk of personal injury in the event of
a crash.
