CHECKING THE SEATBELTS

Check the seatbelts and child restraints
periodically to make sure they work
properly and are not damaged. Make sure
there are no nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if
necessary.

Check the following seatbelt assemblies
after a crash.

•

Retractors.

•

Buckles.

•

Front seatbelt buckle assemblies.

Seatbelts

•

Shoulder belt height adjusters.

•

Shoulder belt guide on seat backrest.

•

Child restraint LATCH and tether
anchors.

•

Attaching hardware.

Read the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions for additional inspection and
maintenance information specific to the
child restraint.

We recommend that all seatbelt
assemblies in use in vehicles involved in a
crash be replaced. However, if the crash
was minor and an authorized dealer finds
that the belts do not show damage and
continue to operate properly, they do not
need to be replaced. Seatbelt assemblies
not in use during a crash should also be
checked and replaced if either damage or
improper operation is noted.

Properly care for seatbelts. See

Cleaning

Seatbelts

(page 426).

SEATBELT EXTENSIONS

WARNING:

Persons who fit into

the vehicle's seatbelt should not use an
extension. Unnecessary use could result
in serious personal injury in the event of
a crash.

WARNING:

Only use extensions

provided free of charge by our dealers.
The dealer will provide an extension
designed specifically for this vehicle,
model year and seating position. The use
of an extension intended for another
vehicle, model year or seating position
may not offer you the full protection of
your vehicle's seatbelt restraint system.

WARNING:

Never use seatbelt

extensions to install child restraints.

WARNING:

Do not use extensions

to change the way the seatbelt fits
across the torso, over the lap or to make
the seatbelt buckle easier to reach.

If, because of body size or driving position,
it is not possible to properly fasten the
seatbelt over your lap and shoulder, an
extension that is compatible with the
seatbelts is available free of charge from
our dealers. Only use our seatbelt
extensions made by the original equipment
seatbelt manufacturer with our seatbelts.
Ask your authorized dealer if your extension
is compatible with your vehicle restraint
system.

HOW DO THE FRONT AIRBAGS
WORK

E151127

The driver and front passenger airbags
deploy during significant frontal and near
frontal crashes.

The driver and passenger front airbag
system consists of:
•

Driver and passenger airbag modules.

•

Crash sensors and monitoring system
with readiness indicator. See

Crash

Sensors and Airbag Indicator

(page

65).

The airbags are a supplemental restraint
system and are designed to work with the
seatbelts to help protect the driver and
right front passenger from certain upper
body injuries. Airbags do not inflate slowly.
There is a risk of injury from a deploying
airbag.

Note:

You will hear a loud bang and see a

cloud of harmless powdery residue if an
airbag deploys. This is normal.

The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly
upon activation. After airbag 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

(for example, baking soda) that result from
the combustion process that inflates the
airbag. Small amounts of sodium
hydroxide may be present which may
irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the
residue is toxic.

Contact with a deploying airbag may 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.

HOW DO THE SIDE AIRBAGS
WORK

WARNING:

Do not place objects

or mount equipment on or near the
airbag cover, on the side of the front or
rear seatbacks, or in 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.

WARNING:

Accessory seat covers

not released by Ford Motor Company
could prevent the deployment of the
airbags and increase the risk of injuries
in a crash.

Airbags

WARNING:

Do not lean your head

on the door. The side airbag could injure
you as it deploys from the side of the
seatback.

The side airbags are on the outermost side
of the seat backrests of the front seats. In
certain sideways crashes or rollovers, the
airbags will be inflated. The airbag was
designed to inflate between the door panel
and occupant to further enhance the
protection provided to occupants in side
impact crashes.

E152533

The system consists of the following:
•

A label or embossed side panel
indicating that side airbags are fitted
to your vehicle.

•

Side airbags inside the driver and front
passenger seat backrests.

•

Crash sensors and monitoring system
with readiness indicator. See

Crash

Sensors and Airbag Indicator

(page

65).

HOW DOES THE SAFETY
CANOPY™ WORK

WARNING:

Do not place objects

or mount equipment on or near the
headliner at the siderail that may come
into contact with a deploying curtain
airbag. Failure to follow these
instructions may increase the risk of
personal injury in the event of a crash.

WARNING:

Do not lean your head

on the door. The curtain airbag could
injure you as it deploys from the
headliner.

WARNING:

To reduce risk of injury,

do not obstruct or place objects in the
deployment path of the airbag.

The Safety Canopy deploys during
significant side crashes or when a certain
likelihood of a rollover event is detected
by the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopy
is mounted to the roof side-rail sheet
metal, behind the headliner, above each
row of seats. In certain sideways crashes
or rollover events, the Safety Canopy will
be activated, regardless of which seats are
occupied. The Safety Canopy inflates
between the side window area and
occupants to further enhance protection
provided in side impact crashes and
rollover events.

Airbags

E75004

The system consists of the following:
•

Safety Canopy curtain airbags above
the trim panels over the front and rear
side windows identified by a label or
wording on the headliner or roof-pillar
trim.

•

A flexible headliner which opens above
the side doors to allow air curtain
deployment

E67017

· Crash sensors and monitoring
system with a readiness
indicator. See

Crash Sensors

and Airbag Indicator

(page 65).

Properly restrain children 12 years old and
under in the rear seats. The Safety Canopy
will not interfere with children restrained
using a properly installed child or booster
seat because it is designed to inflate
downward from the headliner above the
doors along the side window opening.

AIRBAG PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Airbags do not inflate

slowly or gently, and the risk of injury
from a deploying airbag is the greatest
close to the trim covering the airbag
module.

WARNING:

All occupants of your

vehicle, including the driver, should
always properly wear their seatbelts,
even when an airbag supplemental
restraint system is provided. Failure to
properly wear your seatbelt could
seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.

WARNING:

Properly secure

children 12 years old and under in a rear
seating position whenever possible. If
you are unable to properly secure all
children in a rear seating position,
properly secure the largest child on the
front seat. If you must use a forward
facing child restraint on the front seat,
move the seat as far back as possible.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Do not place your arms

on the airbag cover or through the
steering wheel. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury.

WARNING:

Keep the areas in front

of the airbags free from obstruction. Do
not affix anything to or over the airbag
covers. Objects could become projectiles
during airbag deployment. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

WARNING:

To reduce risk of injury,

do not obstruct or place objects in the
deployment path of the airbag.

WARNING:

Do not place a

rearward facing child restraint in front of
an active airbag. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

Airbags

WARNING:

Do not attempt to

service, repair, or modify the
supplementary restraint system or
associated components. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Several airbag system

components get hot after inflation. To
reduce the risk of injury, do not touch
them after inflation.

WARNING:

If a supplementary

restraint system component has
deployed, it will not function again. Have
the system and associated components
inspected as soon as possible. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

SWITCHING THE PASSENGER
AIRBAG ON AND OFF

(IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING:

Even with advanced

restraints systems, properly restrain
children 12 and under in a rear seating
position. Failure to follow this could
seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.

WARNING:

The front passenger

airbag is not designed to offer protection
to an occupant in the center seating
position.

WARNING:

Your vehicle may have

an airbag deactivation switch. Before
driving, always look at the switch to
make sure it is in the appropriate
position. Failure to put the switch in the
proper position can increase the risk of
serious injury or death in a crash.

E181984

The front passenger airbag on and off
switch has indicators that illuminate,
indicating that the front passenger frontal
airbag is either on or off. The indicators are
near the center of the instrument panel.

Note:

The indicators illuminate for a short

period of time when you switch the ignition
on to confirm it is functional.

12 and younger in the rear seat. Always
use seatbelts and child restraints
properly. Do not place a child in a rear
facing infant seat in the front seat unless
your vehicle is equipped with an airbag
on and off switch and the passenger
airbag is turned off. This is because the
back of the infant seat is too close to the
inflating airbag and the risk of a fatal
injury to the infant when the airbag
inflates is substantial.

The passenger airbag on and off switch is
in the glovebox.

E181522

Insert the ignition key, turn the switch
to OFF and hold in OFF while removing
the key.

2. When you switch the ignition on, the

passenger airbag off light illuminates
briefly, momentarily shuts off and then
switches back on. This indicates that
the passenger airbag is deactivated.

Switching the Passenger Airbag
On

WARNING:

The seatbelts for the

driver and right front passenger seating
positions are specifically designed to
operate together with the airbags in
certain types of crashes. When you
switch off your airbag, you not only lose
the protection of the airbag, you also
may reduce the effectiveness of your
seatbelt system. If the passenger does
not meet the requirements stated in the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration or Transport Canada
deactivation criteria, switching off the
airbag can increase the risk of serious
injury or death in a crash.

WARNING:

If your vehicle has rear

Airbags

WARNING:

If the passenger airbag

off light is illuminated when the
passenger airbag switch is on and the
ignition is on, have the passenger airbag
switch serviced immediately by a
qualified technician.

The passenger airbag remains off until you
switch it back on.

E181521

Insert the ignition key and turn the
switch to ON.

2. The passenger airbag off light briefly

illuminates when you switch the
ignition on. This indicates that the
passenger airbag is operational.

The passenger side airbag should always
be on, and the passenger airbag off light
should not be illuminated, unless the
passenger is a person who meets the
requirements stated either in Category 1, 2
or 3 of the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration or Transport Canada
deactivation criteria which follows.

The vast majority of drivers and passengers
are much safer with an airbag than
without. To do their job and reduce the risk
of life threatening injuries, airbags must
open with great force, and this force can
pose a potentially deadly risk in some
situations, particularly when a front seat
occupant is not properly buckled up. The
most effective way to reduce the risk of
unnecessary airbag injuries without
reducing the overall safety of the vehicle
is to make sure all occupants are properly
restrained in the vehicle, especially in the
front seat. This provides the protection of
seatbelts and permits the airbags to
provide the additional protection they were
designed to provide. If you choose to
deactivate your airbag, you are losing the
very significant risk reducing benefits of
the airbag and you are also reducing the
effectiveness of the seatbelts. Seatbelts
in modern vehicles are designed to work
as a safety system with the airbags.

National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration Deactivation
Criteria-Excluding Canada

WARNING:

This vehicle has special

energy management seatbelts for the
driver and right front passenger. These
particular seatbelts are specifically
designed to work with airbags to help
reduce the risk of injury in a crash. The
energy management seatbelt gives or
releases additional seatbelt webbing in
some accidents to reduce the
concentration of force on an occupant's
chest and to reduce the risk of certain
bone fractures and injuries to underlying
organs. In a crash, if the airbag is off, this
energy management seatbelt might
permit the passenger wearing the
seatbelt to move forward enough to
have a serious or fatal injury. The more

Airbags

severe the crash, and the heavier the
occupant, the greater the risk. Make sure
the airbag is on for any passenger who
does not qualify under the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
deactivation criteria.

Infant.

PROPERLY ADJUSTING THE
DRIVER AND FRONT
PASSENGER SEATS

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 seatbelts, it is very
important that they continue to sit
properly. Properly seated occupants sit
upright, lean against the seat backrest, and
center themselves 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
greatly increases.

CHILDREN AND AIRBAGS

WARNING:

Do not place a

rearward facing child restraint in front of
an active airbag. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

Airbags

E142846

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.

If two adults and a child occupy a vehicle
without rear seats, properly restrain the
child in the center front seat unless doing
so would interfere with driving your vehicle.
This provides lap and shoulder belt
protection for all occupants, and airbag
protection for the adults. A child or infant
properly restrained in the center front seat
should not incur risk of serious injury from
the airbags.

CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR

WARNING:

Modifying or adding

equipment to the front of your vehicle
could affect the performance of the
airbag system, increasing the risk of
injury. This includes the hood, bumper
system, frame, front body structure, tow
hooks, hood pins, push bar and
snowplows.

Your vehicle has a collection of crash and
occupant sensors. These sensors provide
information to the restraints control
module which activates the following:

•

Seatbelt pretensioners.

•

Adaptive steering column.

•

Driver airbag.

•

Passenger airbag.

•

Seat mounted side airbags.

•

Safety Canopy.

Based on the type of crash, the restraints
control module deploys the appropriate
safety devices.

The restraints control module also
monitors the readiness of the above safety
devices plus the crash and occupant
sensors. The readiness of the safety
system is indicated by a warning indicator
light in the instrument cluster or by a
backup tone if the warning light is not
working. Routine maintenance of the
airbag is not required.

A difficulty with the system is indicated by
one or more of the following:

E67017

The readiness light will not
illuminate immediately after you
switch the ignition on.

•

The readiness light either flashes or
stays on.

•

You hear a series of five tones. The
tone pattern repeats periodically until
the problem, the light or both are
repaired.

If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced immediately.
Unless serviced, the system may not
function properly in the event of a crash.

Airbags

The fact that the seatbelt pretensioners
or front airbags did not activate for both
front seat occupants in a crash does not
mean that something is wrong with the
system. Rather, it means the restraints
control module determined the accident
conditions (crash severity, seatbelt usage)
were not appropriate to activate these
safety devices.
•

The front airbags activate only in
frontal and near-frontal crashes. Front
airbags may activate in rollovers, side
impacts or rear impacts if the crash
causes sufficient frontal deceleration.

•

The adaptive steering column activates
only in frontal and near-frontal crashes.
It may activate in rollovers, side
impacts or rear impacts if the crash
causes sufficient frontal deceleration.

•

The seatbelt pretensioners activate in
frontal, near-frontal and side crashes,
and in rollovers.

•

The side airbags inflate in certain side
impact crashes or rollover events. Side
airbags may activate in other types of
crashes if the vehicle experiences
sufficient sideways motion or
deformation.

•

The Safety Canopy inflates in certain
side impact crashes or rollover events.
The Safety Canopy may activate in
other types of crashes if the vehicle
experiences sufficient sideways motion
or deformation, or a certain likelihood
of rollover.

DISPOSING OF AIRBAGS

WHAT IS 911 ASSIST

911 Assist is a SYNC system feature that
can call for help.

For more information, visit

www.owner.ford.com

HOW DOES 911 ASSIST WORK

If a crash deploys an airbag, excluding knee
airbags and rear inflatable seatbelts, or
activates the fuel pump shut-off, your
vehicle may be able to contact emergency
services by dialing 911 through a paired and
connected

Bluetooth®

-enabled phone.

Not all crashes will deploy an airbag or
activate the fuel pump shut-off. If a
connected cell phone sustains damage or
loses its connection to SYNC during a
crash, SYNC will search for and try to
connect to a previously paired cell phone.
SYNC will then attempt to call the
emergency services.

Before making the call:
•

SYNC provides about 10 seconds to
cancel the call. If you fail to cancel the
call, SYNC attempts to dial 911.

•

SYNC says the following, or a similar
message: "SYNC will attempt to call
911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on
your screen or press and hold the
phone button on your steering wheel."

If you do not cancel the call and SYNC
makes a successful call a pre-recorded
message plays for the 911 operator. The
occupants in your vehicle are able to talk
with the operator. Be prepared to provide
your name, phone number and location
immediately because not all 911 systems
are capable of receiving this information
electronically.

During an emergency call the system
transmits vehicle data to the emergency
service.

EMERGENCY CALL
REQUIREMENTS

WARNING:

Do not wait for 911

Assist to make an emergency call if you
can do it yourself. Dial emergency
services immediately to avoid delayed
response time which could increase the
risk of serious injury or death after a
crash. If you do not hear 911 Assist within
five seconds of the crash, the system or
phone may be damaged or
non-functional.

WARNING:

Always place your

phone in a secure location in your vehicle
so it does not become a projectile or get
damaged in a crash. Failure to do so may
cause serious injury to someone or
damage the phone which could prevent
911 Assist from working properly.

WARNING:

Unless the 911 Assist

setting is set on before a crash, the
system will not dial for help which could
delay response time, potentially
increasing the risk of serious injury or
death after a crash.

•

SYNC is powered and working properly
at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.

•

The 911 Assist feature must be set on
before the incident.

•

You must pair and connect a

Bluetooth®

enabled and compatible

cell phone to SYNC.

•

A connected

Bluetooth®

enabled

phone must have the ability to make
and maintain an outgoing call at the
time of the incident.

911 Assist

•

A connected

Bluetooth®

enabled

phone must have adequate network
coverage, battery power and signal
strength.

•

The vehicle must have battery power
and be located in the U.S., Canada or
in a territory in which 911 is the
emergency number.

Note:

If any user sets 911 Assist to on or off,

that setting applies for all paired phones. If
911 Assist is off and the phone connected
to SYNC, an icon displays on the status bar.

Note:

Every phone operates differently.

While SYNC 911 Assist works with most
cellular phones, some may have trouble
using this feature.

Privacy Notice

When you switch on 911 Assist, it may
disclose to emergency services that your
vehicle has been in a crash involving the
deployment of an airbag or activation of
the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or
updates to 911 Assist may also be capable
of electronically or verbally disclosing to
911 operators your vehicle location or other
details about your vehicle or crash to assist
911 operators to provide the most
appropriate emergency services. If you do
not want to disclose this information, do
not switch the feature on.

EMERGENCY CALL
LIMITATIONS

The SYNC 911 Assist feature only operates
in the U.S., Canada or in a territory in which
911 is the emergency number. The following
are limitations of this feature:

•

Your cellular phone or 911 Assist
hardware sustains damage in a crash.
