Charging system

Illuminates when the

ignition is turned to

the ON position and

the engine is off. The

light also illuminates when the battery is not

charging properly, requiring electrical system

service.

Air bag readiness

Momentarily

Service engine soon

Your vehicle is

equipped with a

computer that monitors

the engine’s emission

control system. This

system is commonly known as the On Board

Diagnostics System (OBD II). The OBD II system

protects the environment by ensuring that your

vehicle continues to meet government emission

standards. The OBD II system also assists the

service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.

The indicator light illuminatesService Engine Soon

when the ignition is first turned to the ON position

to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is

Instrumentation

started, one of the engine’s emission control systems

may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate

without a driveability concern being noted. The

vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require

towing.

What you should do if the Service Engine Soon

light illuminates

Light turns on solid:

This means that the OBD II system has detected a

malfunction.

Temporary malfunctions may cause your Service

Engine Soon light to illuminate. Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may

misfire or run poorly.)

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed

and securely tightened.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by

filling the fuel tank with high quality fuel of the

recommended octane and/or properly installing and

securely tightening the gas cap. After three driving

cycles without these or any other temporary

malfunctions present, the lightService Engine Soon

should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold

engine startup followed by mixed city/highway

driving.) No additional vehicle service is required.

If the light remains on, haveService Engine Soon

your vehicle serviced at the first available

opportunity.

Light is blinking:

Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your

catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate

fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration)

and have your vehicle serviced at the first available

opportunity.

Instrumentation

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive

exhaust temperatures could damage the

catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor

coverings or other vehicle components, possibly

causing a fire.

Check fuel cap (if equipped)

Momentarily

illuminates when the

ignition is turned to

the ON position to

ensure your bulb is working. When this light turns

on, check the fuel filler cap. Continuing to operate

the vehicle with the check fuel cap light on, can

activate the Service Engine Soon/Check Engine

warning light. When the fuel filler cap is properly

re-installed, the light(s) will turn off after a period of

normal driving. This period will vary depending on

driving conditions.

It may take a long period of time for the

system to detect an improperly installed fuel

filler cap.

For more information, refer to in theFuel filler cap

Maintenance and care chapter.

Low fuel

Illuminates as an early

reminder of a low fuel

condition indicated on

the fuel gauge (refer to

Fuel Gauge in this chapter for more information).

When refueling, after the light comes on, the amount

of fuel that is added will be less than the advertised

capacity since there is fuel still in the tank. The

ignition must be in the ON position for this lamp to

illuminate. The lamp will also illuminate for several

seconds after the ignition is turned to the ON

position regardless of the fuel level to ensure your

bulb is working.

MAX

A/C

Controls and features

Since the air conditioner removes considerable

moisture from the air during operation, it is normal

if clear water drips on the ground under the air

conditioner drain while the system is working and

even after you have stopped the vehicle.

•MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle.

MAX A/C is noisier than NORM A/C but more

economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle

faster. Airflow will be from the instrument panel

registers. This mode can also be used to reduce

undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.

•A/C-Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. It is

quieter than MAX A/C but not as economical.

Airflow will be from the instrument panel

registers.

•(Panel)-Distributes outside air through the

instrument panel registers. However, the air will

not be cooled below the outside temperature

because the air conditioning does not operate in

this mode.

•OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not

operate. For short periods of time only, use this

mode to prevent undesirable odors from entering

the vehicle.

•(Floor)-Allows for maximum heating by

distributing outside air through the floor ducts.

However, the air will not be cooled below the

outside temperature because the air conditioning

does not operate in this mode.

•(Floor and defrost)-Distributes outside air

through the windshield defroster ducts and the

floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning

capabilities are provided in this mode. For added

customer comfort, when the temperature control

knob is anywhere in between the full hot and full

cold positions, the air distributed through the

floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air

sent to the windshield defroster ducts. If the

Controls and features

temperature is about 6°C (43°F) or higher, the air

conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air

to reduce fogging.

•-Distributes outside air through the

windshield defroster ducts. It can be used to clear

ice or fog from the windshield. If the temperature

is about 6°C (43°F) or higher, the air conditioner

will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce

fogging.

Operating tips

•In humid weather, place the climate control

system in before driving. This will reduce

fogging on your windshield. Once the windshield

has been cleared, operate the climate control

system as desired.

•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in

cold weather conditions, do not drive with the

climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C

position.

•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in

warm weather conditions, do not drive with the

climate control system in the OFF position.

•Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s

climate control system should be left in any

position other than MAX A/C or OFF when the

vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to

“breathe” through the outside air inlet duct.

•Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your

vehicle’s climate control system should be left in

the OFF position when the vehicle is parked. This

allows the climate control system to be free from

contamination of outside pollutants.

•If your vehicle has been parked with the windows

closed during warm weather conditions, the air

conditioner will perform more efficiently in

cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three

minutes with the windows open. This will force

Controls and features

most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Once

the vehicle has been “aired out”, operate the

climate control system as desired.

• Do not place objects under the front seat that

may interfere with the airflow to the rear seats.

• Remove any snow,

ice or leaves from

the air intake area at

the base of the

windshield.

• Do not place objects over the defroster outlets.

These objects may block airflow and reduce your

visibility through the windshield. Avoid placing

small objects on top of your instrument panel.

These objects may fall into the defroster outlets

and block airflow, in addition to, damaging your

climate control system.

To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold

weather conditions:

1. Select

2. Set the temperature control to full heat

3. Set the fan speed to HI

4. Direct the outer panel vents towards to side

windows

To increase airflow to the outer panel vents, close

the central panel vents.

Do not place objects on top of the

instrument panel, as these objects may

become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

Radio frequency information

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications

Commission(CRTC) establish the frequencies AM

and FM stations may use for their broadcasts.

Allowable frequencies are:

AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz

FM 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

Not all frequencies are used in a given area.

Radio reception factors

Three factors can affect radio reception:

•Distance/strength. The further an FM signal

travels, the weaker it is. The listenable range of

the average FM station is approximately 40 km

(24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal

modulation.” Signal modulation is a process radio

stations use to increase their strength/volume

relative to other stations.

Controls and features

•Terrain. Hills, mountains and tall buildings

between your vehicle’s antenna and the radio

station signal can cause FM reception problems.

Static can be caused on AM stations by power

lines, electric fences, traffic lights and

thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering

structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your

reception to normal.

•Station overload. Weak signals are sometimes

captured by stronger signals when you pass a

broadcast tower. A stronger signal may

temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play

while the weak station frequency is displayed.

The audio system automatically switches to single

channel reception if it will improve the reception of

a station normally received in stereo.

Spare coded keys can

be purchased from

your dealership. Your

dealership can program your key or you can “do it

yourself”, refer to Programming spare keys.

Controls and features

The SecuriLock娂

passive anti-theft

system is not

compatible with

non-Ford (aftermarket)

remote start systems.

Use of these systems

may result in vehicle

starting problems and a

loss of security

protection. Large

metallic objects,

electronic devices on the key chain that can be used

to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second

key on the same key ring as the PATS ignition key

may cause vehicle starting concern. If present, you

ignition key while starting the engine. These objects

and devices cannot damage the PATS ignition key,

but can cause a momentary concern if they are too

close to the key during engine start. If a problem

occurs, turn ignition OFF and restart the engine

with all other objects on the key ring held away from

the ignition key. Check to make sure the encoded

ignition key is an approved Ford encoded ignition

key.

If your keys are lost or

stolen you will need to

do the following:

•Use your spare key

to start the vehicle.

•Have your vehicle towed to a dealership or

locksmith. The key codes will need to be erased

from your vehicle and new key codes will need to

be re-coded.

Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you

may want to store an extra programmed key away

from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent an

unforeseen inconvenience.

Controls and features

The correct PATS key must be used for your vehicle.

The use of the wrong type of PATS key may lead to

a “NO-START” condition. Refer to the Rotunda Key

SAFETY RESTRAINTS

Safety restraints precautions

Always drive and ride with your seatback

upright and the lap belt snug and low across

the hips.

Seating and safety restraints

To reduce the risk of injury, make sure

children sit where they can be properly

restrained.

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or

her lap while the vehicle is moving. The

passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a

collision.

All occupants of the vehicle, including the

driver, should always properly wear their

safety belts, even when an air bag SRS is provided.

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo

area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a

collision, people riding in these areas are more

likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow

people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is

not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure

everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a

safety belt properly.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is

significantly more likely to die than a person

wearing a safety belt.

Each seating position in your vehicle has a

specific safety belt assembly which is made

up of one buckle and one tongue that are designed

to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt on

the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder

belt under the arm. 2) Never swing the safety belt

around your neck over the inside shoulder. 3)

Never use a single belt for more than one person.

Seating and safety restraints

Always transport children 12 years old and

under in the back seat and always properly

use appropriate child restraints.

Energy Management Feature

•This vehicle has a safety belt system with an

energy management feature at the front

passenger seating position to help further reduce

the risk of injury in the event of a head-on

collision.

•This safety belt system has a retractor assembly

that is designed to pay out webbing in a

controlled manner. This feature is designed to

help reduce the belt force acting on the

occupant’s chest.

After any vehicle collision, the safety belt

system at all outboard seating positions

(except driver, which has no “automatic locking

retractor” feature) must be checked by a qualified

technician 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 according to the procedures in Workshop

Manual.

Failure to replace the Belt and Retractor

assembly could increase the risk of injury in

collisions.

Seating and safety restraints

Combination lap and shoulder belts

Before fastening the

safety belt, make sure

the shoulder belt

passes through the belt

holder on the top of

the seatback.

Coupe shown,

convertible is similar

and safety belt must also pass through the belt

holder.

1. Insert the belt

tongue into the proper

buckle (the buckle

closest to the direction

snap and feel it latch.

Make sure the tongue

is securely fastened in

the buckle.

2. To unfasten, push

the release button and

remove the tongue

from the buckle.

The front and rear outboard safety restraints in the

vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts. The

front passenger and rear seat outboard safety belts

have two types of locking modes described below:

Vehicle sensitive mode

The vehicle sensitive mode is the normal retractor

mode, allowing free shoulder belt length adjustment

to your movements and locking in response to

vehicle movement. For example, if the driver brakes

Seating and safety restraints

suddenly or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle

receives an impact of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph)

or more, the combination safety belts will lock to

help reduce forward movement of the driver and

passengers.

The safety belt system can also be made to lock

manually by quickly pulling on the shoulder belt.

Automatic locking mode

In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically

pre-locked. The belt will still retract to remove any

slack in the shoulder belt.

The automatic locking mode is not available on the

driver safety belt.

When to use the automatic locking mode

•Anytime a child safety seat is installed in a

passenger front or outboard rear seating position

(if equipped). Children 12 years old and under

should be properly restrained in the rear seat

whenever possible. Refer to Safety Restraints for

Children Safety Seats for Childrenor later in

this chapter.

How to use the automatic locking mode

•Buckle the

combination lap and

shoulder belt.

Seating and safety restraints

•Grasp the shoulder

portion and pull

downward until the

entire belt is

extracted.

•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

Ford recommends that all safety belt

assemblies and attaching hardware should

be inspected by a qualified technician after any

collision. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a

collision should also be inspected and replaced if

either damage or improper operation is noted.

Disconnect the combination lap/shoulder belt and

allow it to retract completely to disengage the

automatic locking mode and activate the vehicle

sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

After any vehicle collision, the front

passenger outboard seat belt system must

be checked by a qualified technician to verify that

the “automatic locking retractor” feature for child

seats is still functioning properly. In addition, all

seat belts should be checked for proper function.

Seating and safety restraints

BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST

BE REPLACED if the seat belt assembly

“automatic locking retractor” feature or any other

seat belt function is not operating properly when

checked according to the procedures in Workshop

Manual.

Failure to replace the Belt and Retractor

assembly could increase the risk of injury in

collisions.

Safety belt extension assembly

If the safety belt assembly is too short for you, even

when fully extended, 20 cm (8 inches) can be added

to the safety belt assembly by adding a safety belt

extension assembly (part number 611C22). Safety

belt extension assemblies can be obtained from your

dealer at no cost.

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. Also, use the safety belt extension only if

the safety belt is too short for you when fully

extended. Do not use extensions to change the fit of

the shoulder belt across the torso.

unbuckled during an ignition ON cycle, Belt Minder

will be disabled for that ignition cycle only.

Deactivating/activating the belt minder feature

Read step thoroughly before proceedings 1 - 9

with the deactivation/activation programming

procedure.

The Belt Minder feature can be deactivated/activated

by performing the following procedure:

Before following the procedure, make sure that:

• the parking brake is set

• the gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic

transmission) or the neutral position (manual

transmission).

• the ignition switch is in the OFF position

• all vehicle doors are closed

• the driver’s safety belt is unbuckled

• the parklamps/headlamps are in OFF position (If

vehicle is equipped with Autolamps, this will not

affect the procedure.)

Seating and safety restraints

To reduce the risk of injury, do not

deactivate/activate the Belt Minder feature

while driving the vehicle.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON)

position. (DO NOT START THE ENGINE)

2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off.

(Approximately 1–2 minutes)

• Steps 3–5 must be completed within 60 seconds

or the procedure will have to be repeated.

3. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times,

ending with the safety belt unbuckled. This can be

done before or during Belt Minder warning

activation.

4. Turn on the parklamps/headlamps, turn off the

parklamps/headlamps.

5. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times,

ending with the safety belt unbuckled.

• After step 5 the safety belt warning light will be

turned on for three seconds.

6. Within seven seconds of the safety belt warning

light turning off, buckle then unbuckle the safety

belt.

• This will disable Belt Minder if it is currently

enabled, or enable Belt Minder if it is currently

disabled.

7. Confirmation of disabling Belt Minder is provided

by flashing the safety belt warning light four times

per second for three seconds.

8. Confirmation of enabling Belt Minder is provided

by flashing the safety belt warning light four times

per second for three seconds, followed by three

seconds with the safety belt warning light off, then

followed by flashing the safety belt warning light

four times per second for three seconds again.

Seating and safety restraints

9. After receiving confirmation, the deactivation/

activation procedure is complete.

Safety belt maintenance

Inspect the safety belt systems periodically to make

sure they work properly and are not damaged.

Inspect the safety belts to make sure there are no

nicks, wears or cuts, replacing if necessary. All

safety belt assemblies, including retractors, buckles,

front seat belt buckle assemblies, buckle support

assemblies (slide bar-if equipped), shoulder belt

height adjusters (if equipped), shoulder belt guide

on seatback (if equipped), child safety seat tether

bracket assemblies (if equipped), and attaching

hardware, should be inspected after a collision. Ford

recommends that all safety belt assemblies used in

vehicles involved in a collision be replaced. However,

if the collision was minor and a qualified technician

finds that the belts do not show damage and

continue to operate properly, they do not need to be

replaced. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a

collision should also be inspected and replaced if

either damage or improper operation is noted.

Failure to inspect and if necessary replace

the safety belt assembly under the above

conditions could result in severe personal injuries

in the event of a collision.

Refer to Cleaning and maintaining the safety

belts Maintenance and carein the section.

Seating and safety restraints

AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

(SRS)

Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and

diagnostic module which records information about

the air bag and sensor systems. In the event of a

collision this module may save information related to

the collision including information about the air bag

system and impact severity. This information will

assist Ford in the servicing of your vehicle and may

help Ford better understand real world collisions

and further improve the safety of future vehicles.

Important supplemental restraint system (SRS)

precautions

The supplemental

restraint system is

designed to work with

the safety belt to help

protect the driver and

right front passenger

from certain upper

body injuries.

Air bags DO NOT

inflate slowly or gently

and the risk of injury

from a deploying air bag is greatest close to the trim

covering the air bag module.

All occupants of the vehicle, including the

driver, should always properly wear their

safety belts, even when an air bag SRS is provided.

Seating and safety restraints

Always transport children 12 years old and

under in the back seat and always properly

use appropriate child restraints.

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) recommends a

minimum distance of at least 25 cm (10 inches)

between an occupant’s chest and the driver air bag

module.

Never place your arm over the air bag

module as a deploying air bag can result in

serious arm fractures or other injuries.

Steps you can take to properly position yourself

away from the air bag:

• 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.

Do not put anything on or over the air bag

module. Placing objects on or over the air

bag inflation area may cause those objects to be

propelled by the air bag into your face and torso

causing serious injury.

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify

the Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System

or its fuses. See your Ford or Lincoln Mercury

dealer.

Seating and safety restraints

Modifications to the front end of the vehicle,

including frame, bumper, front end body

structure and tow hooks may effect the

performance of the air bag sensors increasing the

risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of the

vehicle.

Children and air bags

For additional

important safety

information, read all

information on safety

restraints in this guide.

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.

Air bags can kill or injure a child in a child

seat. place a rear-facing child seatNEVER

in front of an active air bag. If you must use a

forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move

the seat all the way back.

Seating and safety restraints

How does the air bag supplemental restraint

system work?

The air bag SRS is

designed to activate

when the vehicle

sustains longitudinal

deceleration sufficient

to cause the sensors to

close an electrical

circuit that initiates air

bag inflation.

The fact that the air bags did not inflate in a

collision does not mean that something is wrong

with the system. Rather, it means the forces were

not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Air

bags are designed to inflate in frontal and

near-frontal collisions, not rollover, side-impact, or

rear-impacts unless the collision causes sufficient

longitudinal deceleration.

The air bags inflate and

deflate rapidly upon

activation. After air bag

deployment, it is

normal to notice a

smoke-like, powdery

residue or smell the

burnt propellant. This

may consist of

cornstarch, talcum

powder (to lubricate

the bag) or sodium

compounds (e.g., baking soda) that result from the

combustion process that inflates the air bag. Small

amounts of sodium hydroxide may be present which

may irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the

residue is toxic.

While the system is designed to help reduce serious

injuries, contact with a deploying air bag may also

cause abrasions, swelling or temporary hearing loss.

Because air bags must inflate rapidly and with

Seating and safety restraints

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 air bag deployment. Thus,

it is extremely important that occupants be properly

restrained as far away from the air bag module as

possible while maintaining vehicle control.

The SRS consists of:

• driver and passenger air bag modules (which

include the inflators and air bags),

• one or more impact and safing sensors,

• a readiness light and tone

• a diagnostic module

• and the electrical wiring which connects the

components.

The diagnostic module monitors its own internal

circuits and the supplemental air bag electrical

system warning (including the impact sensors), the

system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the

air bag back up power and the air bag ignitors.

Several air bag system components get hot

after inflation. Do not touch them after

inflation.

If the air bag has deployed, the air bag will

not function again and must be replaced

immediately. If the air bag is not replaced, the

unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a

collision.

Determining if the system is operational

The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument

cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the

system. Refer to the section inAir bag readiness

Seating and safety restraints

the chapter. Routine maintenanceInstrumentation

of the air bag is not required.

A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or

more of the following:

• The readiness light

will either flash or

stay lit.

• The readiness light will not illuminate immediately

after ignition is turned on.

• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone

pattern will repeat periodically until the problem

and/or light are repaired.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently,

have the SRS serviced at your dealership or by a

qualified technician immediately. Unless serviced,

the system may not function properly in the event of

a collision.

Disposal of air bags and air bag equipped

vehicles (including pretensioners)

For disposal of air bags or air bag equipped vehicles,

see your local dealership or qualified technician. Air

bags MUST BE disposed of by qualified personnel.

SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN

See the following sections for directions on how to

properly use safety restraints for children. Also see

Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) in

this chapter for special instructions about using air

bags.

Important child restraint precautions

You are required by law to use safety restraints for

children in the U.S. and Canada. If small children

ride in your vehicle (generally children who are four

years old or younger and who weigh 18 kg [40 lbs]

or less), you must put them in safety seats made

especially for children. Check your local and state or

AIR

BAG

Seating and safety restraints

provincial laws for specific requirements regarding

the safety of children in your vehicle.

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or

her lap while the vehicle is moving. The

passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a

collision.

Always follow the instructions and warnings that

come with any infant or child restraint you might

use.

When possible, always place children under age 12

in the rear seat of your vehicle. Accident statistics

suggest that children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seating positions than in the

front seating position.

Children and safety belts

If the child is the proper size, restrain the child in a

safety seat.

Children who are too large for child safety seats (as

specified by your child safety seat manufacturer)

should always wear safety belts.

Follow all the important safety restraint and air bag

precautions that apply to adult passengers in your

vehicle.

If the shoulder belt portion of a combination lap and

shoulder belt can be positioned so it does not cross

or rest in front of the child’s face or neck, the child

should wear the lap and shoulder belt. Moving the

child closer to the center of the vehicle may help

provide a good shoulder belt fit.

Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or

pets unattended in your vehicle.

To improve the fit of lap and shoulder belts on

children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford

recommends use of a belt-positioning booster seat

Seating and safety restraints

that is labelled as conforming to all applicable

Federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Belt-positioning booster seats raise the child and

provide a shorter, firmer seating cushion that

encourages safer seating posture and better fit of lap

and shoulder belts on the child.

A belt-positioning booster should be used if the

shoulder belt rests in front of the child’s face or

neck, or if the lap belt does not fit snugly on both

thighs, or if the thighs are too short to let the child

sit all the way back on the seat cushion when the

lower legs hang over the edge of the seat cushion.

You may wish to discuss the special needs of your

child with your pediatrician.

SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN

Child and infant or child safety seats

Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size

and weight of the child. Carefully follow all of the

manufacturer’s instructions with the safety seat you

put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the

safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a

sudden stop or collision.

Seating and safety restraints

When installing a child safety seat:

• Review and follow

the information

presented in the Air

Bag Supplemental

Restraint System

section in this

chapter.

• Use the correct

safety belt buckle for that seating position (the

buckle closest to the direction the tongue is

coming from).

• 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 seat back in upright position.

• Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode.

Refer to (passengerAutomatic locking mode

side front and outboard rear seating positions) (if

equipped).

Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat

having a top tether strap. Install the child safety seat

in a seating position which is capable of providing a

tether anchorage. For more information on top

tether straps, refer to Attaching safety seats with

tether straps.

Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s

instructions included with the safety seat

you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and

use the safety seat properly, the child may be

injured in a sudden stop or collision.

Seating and safety restraints

Installing child safety seats in combination lap

and shoulder belt seating positions

If you must use a

forward facing child

seat in the front seat

PREPARING TO START YOUR VEHICLE

Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain

control system. This system meets all Canadian

Interference-Causing Equipment standard

requirements regulating the impulse electrical field

strength of radio noise.

When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing

the accelerator before or during starting. Only use

the accelerator when you have difficulty starting the

engine. For more information on starting the vehicle,

refer to in this chapter.Starting the engine

Extended idling at high engine speeds can

produce very high temperatures in the

engine and exhaust system, creating the risk of

fire or other damage.

Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in

dry grass or other dry ground cover. The

emission system heats up the engine compartment

and exhaust system, which can start a fire.

Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage

or in other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes

can be toxic. Always open the garage door before

you start the engine. See Guarding against

exhaust fumes in this chapter for more

instructions.

If you smell exhaust fumes inside your

vehicle, have your dealer inspect your

vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell

exhaust fumes.

Starting

105

Important safety precautions

A computer system controls the engine’s idle

revolutions per minute (RPM). When the engine

starts, the idle RPM runs faster to warm the engine.

If the engine idle speed does not slow down

automatically, have the vehicle checked. Do not

allow the vehicle to idle for more than 10 minutes at

high engine RPM.

Before starting the vehicle:

1. Make sure all vehicle occupants have buckled

their safety belts. For more information on safety

belts and their proper usage, refer to the Seating

and safety restraints chapter.

2. Make sure the headlamps and vehicle accessories

are off.

If starting a vehicle with an automatic transmission:

• Make sure the

parking brake is set.

• Make sure the gearshift is in P (Park).

If starting a vehicle with a manual transmission:

• Make sure the parking brake is set.

• Push the clutch

pedal to the floor.

Starting

106

3. If the temperature is below -12° C (10° F) and

the engine does not start in 15 seconds on the first

try, turn the key OFF and wait 10 seconds and try

again. If the engine does not start in two attempts,

press the accelerator pedal all the way to floor and

hold. Turn the key to START position.

4. When the engine starts, release the key, then

release the accelerator pedal gradually as the engine

speeds up.

5. After idling for a few seconds, apply the brake

and release the parking brake.

Using the engine block heater (if equipped)

An engine block heater warms the engine coolant,

which improves starting, warms up the engine faster

and allows the heater-defroster system to respond

quickly. Use of an engine block heater is strongly

recommended if you live in a region where

temperatures reach -23°C (-10°F) or below.

For best results, plug the heater in at least three

hours before starting the vehicle. Using the heater

for longer than three hours will not harm the engine,

so the heater can be plugged in the night before

starting the vehicle.

To prevent electrical shock, do not use your

heater with ungrounded electrical systems

or two-pronged (cheater) adapters.

Guarding against exhaust fumes

Although odorless and colorless, carbon monoxide is

present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid

its dangerous effects.

If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind

inside your vehicle, have your dealer inspect

and fix your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if

you smell exhaust fumes. These fumes are harmful

and could kill you.

Starting

108

Have the exhaust and body ventilation systems

checked whenever:

• the vehicle is raised for service.

• the sound of the exhaust system changes.

• the vehicle has been damaged in a collision.

WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its

constituents, and certain vehicle

components contain or emit chemicals known to

the State of California to cause cancer and birth

defects or other reproductive harm. In addition,

certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain

products of component wear contain or emit

chemicals known to the State of California to

cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

Important ventilating information

If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped in

an open area for long periods of time, open the

windows at least 2.5 cm (one inch).

Adjust the heating or air conditioning (if equipped)

to bring in fresh air.

Improve vehicle

ventilation by keeping

all air inlet vents clear

of snow, leaves and

other debris.

Starting

109

BRAKES

Your service brakes are self-adjusting. Refer to the

scheduled maintenance guide for scheduled

maintenance.

Occasional brake noise is normal and often does not

indicate a performance concern with the vehicle’s

brake system. In normal operation, automotive brake

systems may emit occasional or intermittent squeal

or groan noises when the brakes are applied. Such

noises are usually heard during the first few brake

applications in the morning; however, they may be

heard at any time while braking and can be

aggravated by environmental conditions such as

cold, heat, moisture, road dust, salt or mud. If a

“metal-to-metal,” “continuous grinding” or

“continuous squeal” sound is present while braking,

the brake linings may be worn-out and should be

inspected by a qualified service technician.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

On vehicles equipped with an anti-lock braking

system (ABS), a noise from the hydraulic pump

motor and pulsation in the pedal may be observed

during ABS braking events. Pedal pulsation coupled

with noise while braking under panic conditions or

on loose gravel, bumps, wet or snowy roads is

normal and indicates proper functioning of the

vehicle’s anti-lock brake system. The ABS performs a

self-check after you start the engine and begin to

drive away. A brief mechanical noise may be heard

during this test. This is normal. If a malfunction is

found, the ABS warning light will come on. If the

vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the

steering wheel while braking, the vehicle should be

inspected by a qualified service technician.

Driving

110

The ABS operates by

detecting the onset of

wheel lockup during

brake applications and

compensates for this

tendency. The wheels

are prevented from

locking even when the brakes are firmly applied. The

accompanying illustration depicts the advantage of

an ABS equipped vehicle (on bottom) to a non-ABS

equipped vehicle (on top) during hard braking with

loss of front braking traction.

ABS warning lamp ABS

The ABS warning lamp in the instrument cluster

momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned

to the ON position. If the light does not illuminate

momentarily at start up, remains on or continues to

flash, the ABS needs to be serviced.

With the ABS light on,

the anti-lock brake

system is disabled and

normal braking is still

effective unless the brake warning light also remains

illuminated with parking brake released. (If your

brake warning lamp illuminates, have your vehicle

serviced immediately.)

Using ABS

• In an emergency or when maximum efficiency

from the four wheel ABS is required, apply

continuous force on the brake. The four wheel

ABS will be activated immediately, thus allowing

you to retain full steering control of your vehicle

and, providing there is sufficient space, will

enable you to avoid obstacles and bring the

vehicle to a controlled stop.

• The Anti-Lock system does not decrease the time

necessary to apply the brakes or always reduce

BRAKE

Driving

111

stopping distance. Always leave enough room

between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of

you to stop.

• We recommend that you familiarize yourself with

this braking technique. However, avoid taking any

unnecessary risks.

Hydraulic brake booster system (Hydroboost)

The Hydroboost system receives fluid pressure from

the power steering pump to provide power assist

during braking.

The sound of the pump operating may be heard by

the driver, but this is a normal characteristic of the

system.

For Hydroboost-equipped vehicles operating under

normal conditions, the noise of the fluid flowing

through the booster may be heard whenever the

brake is applied. This condition is normal. Vehicle

service is not required.

If braking performance or pedal response becomes

very poor, even when the pedal is strongly

depressed, it may indicate the presence of air in the

hydraulic system or leakage of fluid. Stop the vehicle

safely as soon as possible and seek service

immediately.

Parking brake

Apply the parking

brake whenever the

vehicle is parked. To

set the parking brake,

apply the brake pedal

and pull the parking

brake handle up as far

as possible.

The BRAKE warning

lamp in the instrument

cluster illuminates and

remains illuminated

BRAKE

Driving

112

controlled by automatically applying and releasing

the rear brakes in conjunction with engine torque

reductions. Engine torque reduction is realized via

the fully electronic spark and fuel injection systems.

This process is very sensitive to driving conditions

and very fast acting. The rear wheels “search” for

optimum traction several times a second and

adjustments are made accordingly.

The Traction Control system will allow your娂

vehicle to make better use of available traction on

slippery surfaces. The system is a driver aid which

makes your vehicle easier to handle primarily on

snow, ice covered and gravel roads.

During Traction

Control operation,娂

the traction control

active light will

illuminate, you may hear an electric motor type of

sound coming from the engine compartment and the

engine will not “rev-up” when you push further on

the accelerator. This is normal system behavior.

The Traction Control娂

on/off switch, located

below the radio,

illuminates when the

system is OFF. The

Traction Control娂

system will revert to the ON position every time the

ignition is turned OFF and ON.

If you should become stuck in snow or ice or on a

very slippery road surface, try switching the Traction

Control system off. This may allow excess wheel娂

spin to “dig” the vehicle out and enable a successful

“rocking” maneuver.

If a system fault is detected the OFF indicator lamp

on the traction control switch will be illuminated and

your vehicle should be serviced.

Driving

114

STEERING

Your vehicle is equipped with power steering. Power

steering uses energy from the engine to help steer

the vehicle.

To prevent damage to the power steering pump:

•Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme

right or the extreme left for more than a few

seconds when the engine is running.

•Do not operate the vehicle with a low power

steering pump fluid level (below the MIN mark on

the reservoir).

If the power steering system breaks down (or if the

engine is turned off), you can steer the vehicle

manually, but it takes more effort.

If the steering wanders or pulls, the condition could

be caused by any of the following:

•underinflated tire(s) on any wheel(s)

•high crown in center of road

•high crosswinds

•wheels out of alignment

•loose or worn components in steering linkage

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION

(IF EQUIPPED)

Brake-shift interlock

To return to (Overdrive) mode, press the

transmission control switch. The O/D OFF indicator

will no longer be illuminated.

Each time the vehicle is started, the transmission

will automatically return to normal overdrive mode.

must press the transmission control switch to cancel

overdrive operation if driving in overdrive is not

desired.

2 (Second)

Use 2 (Second) to

start-up on slippery

roads or to provide

additional engine

braking on downgrades.

Transmission operates

only in Second gear.

1 (First)

Use 1 (Low) to provide

maximum engine

braking on steep

downgrades. Upshifts

can be made by

shifting to 2 (Second)

or to (Overdrive).

Selecting 1 (Low) at

higher speeds causes the transmission to shift to a

lower gear, and will shift to 1 (Low) after vehicle

decelerates to the proper speed.

Forced Downshifts

To gain acceleration in (Overdrive) or Drive (O/D

OFF) when passing another vehicle, push the

accelerator to the floor. The transmission will

downshift to the appropriate gear: third, second or

first gear.

•Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch

pedal and do not use the clutch to hold your

vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill.

These actions will greatly reduce clutch life.

Recommended shift speeds

vehicle is moving faster then 24 km/h (15 mph).

This will damage the clutch.
