Children and airbags 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 collision. W ARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child [...]

How does the airbag supplemental restraint system work? The airbag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains longitudinal deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit that initiates airbag inflation. The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the sys[...]

The SRS consists of the following items: • Driver and passenger airbag modules (which include the inflators and airbags) • safety belt pretensioners • Front passenger sensing system • “Passenger airbag off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp.

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 indicator will be unlit and st[...]

W ARNING: 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 seatback, with your feet on the floor . The front passenger sensing system may d[...]

W ARNING: T o reduce the risk of possible serious injury: Do not stow objects in seat back map pocket (if equipped) or hang objects off seat back if a child is in the front passenger seat. Do not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between the seat and the center console (if equipped). Check the “passenger airbag off” or “pas[...]

W ARNING: An out of position front center occupant could affect the decision of the front passenger sensing system. If it is necessary to modify an advanced front airbag system to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact the Ford Customer Relationship Center at the phone number shown in the Customer Assistance section of this Owner’ s Guid[...]

W ARNING: 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. W ARNING: Do not lean your head on the door . The side airbag could injure you as it deploys from the side of the seatback. W ARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair , or modif[...]

The side airbags are fitted on the outboard side of the seatbacks of the front seats. In certain lateral collisions, the airbag on the side affected by the collision 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 collisions. The airbag SRS [...]

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 vehicle seat all the way back. Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position whenever possible. If all children cannot be sea[...]

1. Position the child safety seat in a seat with a combination lap and shoulder belt. 2. Pull down on the shoulder belt and then grasp the shoulder belt and lap belt together . 3.

Make sure the tongue is latched securely by pulling on it. 5. T o put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull[...]

9. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat is equipped). Refer to Attaching child safety seats with tether straps later in this chapter . 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. T o check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to [...]

1. Lengthen the lap belt. T o lengthen the belt, hold the tongue so that its bottom is perpendicular to the direction of webbing while sliding the tongue up the webbing. 2.

LA TCH compatible child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to the two lower anchors at the LA TCH equipped seating positions in your vehicle. This type of attachment method eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach the child seat, however the safety belt can still be used to attach the child seat. For fo[...]

T wo plastic LA TCH guides can be obtained at no charge from an authorized dealer . They snap onto the LA TCH lower anchors in the seat to help attach a child seat with rigid attachments. The guides hold the seat trim away to expose the anchor and make it easier to attach some child seats. W ARNING: Never attach two child safety seats to the same a[...]

Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor , if applicable. T ug the child seat from side to side and forward and back where it is secured to the vehicle. The seat should move less than one inch when you do this for a proper installation. If the safety seat is not anchored prop[...]

Perform the following steps to install a child safety seat to the tether anchor: 1. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat. For vehicles with adjustable head restraints, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts, otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the seatback. 2.

Child booster seats The belt-positioning booster (booster seat) is used to improve the fit of the vehicle safety belt. Children outgrow a typical child seat (e.g., convertible or toddler seat) when they weigh about 40 lb (18 kg) and are around four (4) years of age. Consult your child safety seat owner guide for the weight, height, and age limits s[...]

When children should use booster seats Children need to use booster seats from the time they outgrow the toddler seat until they are big enough for the vehicle seat and lap/shoulder belt to fit properly . Generally this is when they reach a height of at least 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall (around age eight to age twelve and between 40 lb (18 k[...]

T ypes of booster seats There are generally two types of belt-positioning booster seats: backless and high back. Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle lap/shoulder belt. • Backless booster seats If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield. If a vehicle seating position has a low seat back or no head [...]

Children and booster seats vary in size and shape. Choose a booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder . The drawings below compare the ideal fit (center) to a shoulder belt uncomfortably close to [...]

Move a child to a different seating location if the shoulder belt does not stay positioned on the shoulder during use. Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat. W ARNING: 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[...]

INFORMA TION ABOUT UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING T ire Quality Grades apply to new pneumatic passenger car tires.
