Ford Edge (2022 year). Manual in english — page 2

Try to pull the belt out of the retractor
to make sure the retractor is in the
automatic locking mode. You should
not be able to pull more belt out. If the
retractor did not lock, unbuckle the belt
and repeat Steps 5 and 6.

E142533

8. Remove remaining slack from the belt.

Force the seat down with extra weight,
for example, by pressing down or
kneeling on the child restraint while
pulling up on the shoulder belt in order
to force slack from the belt. This is
necessary to remove the remaining
slack that exists once you add the extra
weight of the child to the child restraint.
It also helps to achieve the proper
snugness of the child restraint to your
vehicle. Sometimes, a slight lean
toward the buckle will provide extra
help to remove remaining slack from
the belt.

9. If the child restraint has a tether strap,

attach it.

E142534

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. To check this, grab the
seat at the belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and forward and
back. There should be no more than
1 in (2.5 cm) of movement.

We recommend checking with a NHTSA
Certified Child Passenger Safety
Technician to make certain the child
restraint is properly installed. In Canada,
check with Transport Canada for referral
to a Child Car Seat Clinic.

USING LOWER ANCHORS AND
TETHERS FOR CHILDREN

WARNING:

Do not attach two child

safety restraints to the same anchor. In
a crash, one anchor may not be strong
enough to hold two child safety restraint
attachments and may break, causing
serious injury or death.

Child Safety

WARNING:

Depending on where

you secure a child restraint, and
depending on the child restraint design,
you may block access to certain seatbelt
buckle assemblies and LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features
potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, make sure occupants only use
seating positions where they are able to
be properly restrained.

The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) system has three vehicle
anchor points.

•

Two lower anchors where the seat
backrest and seat cushion meet, called
the seat bight.

•

One top tether anchor behind that
seating position.

LATCH-compatible child restraints have
two rigid or webbing mounted
attachments that connect to the two lower
anchors at the LATCH-equipped seating
positions in your vehicle. This type of
attachment method eliminates the need
to use seatbelts to attach the child
restraint.

However, you can still use the seatbelt to
attach the child restraint. For
forward-facing child restraints, you must
also attach the top tether strap to the
proper top tether anchor if a top tether
strap has been provided with your child
restraint.

Follow the instructions on attaching child
restraints with tether straps.

INSTALLING A CHILD RESTRAINT
IN A CENTER SEAT

WARNING:

The standardized

spacing for LATCH lower anchors is 11 in
(280 mm) center to center. Do not use
LATCH lower anchors for the center
seating position unless the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions permit and
specify using anchors spaced at least as
far apart as those in this vehicle.

The lower anchors at the center of the
second row rear seat are spaced 20 in
(51 cm) apart. You cannot install a child
restraint with rigid LATCH attachments at
the center seating position. You can only
use LATCH-compatible child restraints
with attachments on belt webbing at this
seating position provided that the child
restraint manufacturer's instructions
permit use with the anchor spacing stated.
Do not attach a child restraint to any lower
anchor if an adjacent child restraint is
attached to that anchor.

Each time you use the child restraint, check
that the seat is properly attached to the
lower anchors and tether anchor, if
applicable. Tug the child restraint from side
to side and forward and back where it is
secured to your vehicle. The seat should
move less than 1 in (2.5 cm).

If you did not properly anchor the child
restraint, the risk of a child being injured in
a crash greatly increases.

Child Safety

COMBINING THE SEATBELT AND
LOWER ANCHORS FOR
ATTACHING CHILD RESTRAINTS

When used in combination, you may attach
either the seatbelt or the LATCH lower
anchors first, provided a proper installation
is achieved. Attach the tether strap
afterward, if it is included with the child
restraint.

USING TETHER STRAPS

Many forward-facing child restraints
include a tether strap which extends from
the back of the child restraint and hooks
to an anchoring point called the top tether
anchor. Tether straps are available as an
accessory for many older child restraints.

Contact the manufacturer of your child
restraint for information about ordering a
tether strap, or to obtain a longer tether
strap if the tether strap on your child
restraint does not reach the appropriate
top tether anchor in your vehicle.

Once you install the child restraint using
either the seatbelt, the lower anchors of
the LATCH system, or both, you can attach
the top tether strap.

Perform the following steps to install a
child restraint with tether anchors.

Note:

If you install a child restraint with rigid

LATCH attachments, do not tighten the
tether strap enough to lift the child restraint
off your vehicle seat cushion when the child
is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug
without lifting the front of the child restraint.
Keeping the child restraint just touching your
vehicle seat gives the best protection in a
severe crash.

Route the child restraint tether strap
over the back of the seat. For the
outermost seating positions, route the
tether strap under the head restraint
and between the head restraint posts.
For the center seating position, route
the tether strap over the top of the
head restraint. If needed, you can also
remove the head restraints.

E193589

2. Locate the correct anchor behind the

gap cover for the selected seating
position.

E142539

3. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as

shown.

4. Tighten the child restraint tether strap

according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

Child Safety

If your child restraint system has a tether
strap, and the child restraint manufacturer
recommends its use, we also recommend
its use.

BOOSTER SEATS

Use a belt-positioning booster seat for
children who have outgrown or no longer
properly fit in a child restraint and meet
the following criteria.

•

Generally children who are less than
57 in (1.45 m) tall.

•

Are greater than age four (4) and less
than age twelve (12).

•

Are between 40 lb (18 kg) and 80 lb
(36 kg) and upward to 100 lb (45 kg).

Many state and provincial laws require that
children use approved booster seats until
they reach age eight, a height of 57 in
(1.45 m) tall, or 80 lb (36 kg).

Booster seats should be used until you can
answer yes to all of these questions when
seated without a booster seat:

E142595

•

Can the child sit all the way back
against their vehicle seat backrest with
knees bent comfortably at the edge of
the seat cushion?

•

Can the child sit without slouching?

•

Does the lap belt rest low across the
hips?

•

Is the shoulder belt centered on the
shoulder and chest?

•

Can the child stay seated like this for
the whole trip?

Always use booster seats in conjunction
with your vehicle lap and shoulder belt.

Types of Booster Seats

E68924

•

Backless booster seats

If your backless booster seat has a
removable shield, remove the shield.

If a vehicle seating position has a low seat
backrest or no head restraint, a backless
booster seat may place your child's head,
as measured at the tops of the ears, above
the top of the seat. In this case, move the
backless booster to another seating
position with a higher seat backrest or
head restraint and lap and shoulder belts,
or consider using a high-back booster seat.

Child Safety

E70710

•

High-back booster seats

If, with a backless booster seat, you cannot
find a seating position that adequately
supports your child's head, a high-back
booster seat would be a better choice.

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 following drawings compare the ideal
fit to a shoulder belt uncomfortably close
to the neck and a shoulder belt that could
slip off the shoulder. The drawings also
show how the lap belt should be low and
snug across the child's hips.

E142596

E142597

Child Safety

If the booster seat slides on the vehicle
seat upon which it is being used, placing a
rubberized mesh sold as shelf or carpet
liner under the booster seat may improve
this condition. Do not use any item thicker
than this under the booster seat. Check
with the booster seat manufacturer's
instructions.

CHILD SAFETY LOCKS

WARNING:

You cannot open the

rear doors from inside if you have put the
child safety locks on.

E287259

A child safety lock is on the rear edge of
each rear door. You must switch the child
safety lock separately on each door.

Left-Hand Side

Turn the key counterclockwise to switch
the child lock off and clockwise to switch
it on.

Right-Hand Side

Turn the key clockwise to switch the child
lock off and counterclockwise to switch it
on.

Child Safety

SEATBELT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Always drive and ride

with your seatback upright and the lap
belt snug and low across the hips.

WARNING:

Children must always

be properly restrained.

WARNING:

Do not allow a

passenger to hold a child on their lap
when your vehicle is moving. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop or crash.

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:

It is extremely

dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside
or outside of a vehicle. In a crash, 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
seatbelts. Make sure everyone in your
vehicle is in a seat and properly using a
seatbelt. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death.

WARNING:

In a rollover crash, an

unbelted person is significantly more
likely to die than a person wearing a
seatbelt.

WARNING:

Each seating position

in your vehicle has a specific seatbelt
assembly made up of one buckle and
one tongue designed to be used as a pair.
Use the shoulder belt on the outside
shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder
belt under the arm. Never use a single
seatbelt for more than one person.

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:

Seatbelts and seats

may be hot in a vehicle that is in the
sunshine. The hot seatbelts or seats may
burn a small child. Check seat covers and
buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.

WARNING:

If your vehicle is

involved in a crash, have the seatbelts
and associated components inspected
as soon as possible. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

All seating positions in your vehicle have
lap and shoulder seatbelts. All occupants
of the vehicle should always properly wear
their seatbelts, even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system is provided.

The seatbelt system consists of:
•

Lap and shoulder seatbelts.

•

Shoulder seatbelt with automatic
locking mode, except driver seatbelt.

•

Height adjuster at the front outermost
seating positions.

Seatbelts

•

Seatbelt pretensioners at the front
outermost and second row outermost
seating positions.

•

Belt tension sensor at the front
outermost passenger seating position.

E71880

•

Seatbelt warning light and chime.

E67017

•

Crash sensors and monitoring system
with readiness indicator.

The seatbelt pretensioners are designed
to tighten the seatbelts when activated. In
frontal and near-frontal crashes, the
seatbelt 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
Safety Canopy airbag deploys.

FASTENING AND
UNFASTENING THE
SEATBELTS

All seatbelts in your vehicle are a
three-point combination lap and shoulder
seatbelt.

E338014

Seatbelt tongue.

Seatbelt buckle.

Pull the seatbelt out steadily.

Note:

It may lock if you pull it sharply or if

the vehicle is on a slope.

2. Insert the tongue into the buckle.

3. Pull the seatbelt tight to remove any

slack.

Unfastening the Seatbelts

Press the red button on the buckle to
release the seatbelt.

2. Hold the seatbelt tongue and let it

retract completely and smoothly to its
stowed position.

Seatbelts

Using a Sliding Clip

(If Equipped)

E200788

Slide the clip away from the tongue so
there is no loose webbing when an
occupant or child seat is buckled up. You
can also use the sliding clip to raise the
tongue and prevent it from rattling or to
ease access to the tongue.

SENSITIVE LOCKING MODE

WHAT IS SENSITIVE LOCKING
MODE

Sensitive locking mode is a seatbelt
retractor feature that allows shoulder belt
length adjustment according to your
movements and locking in response to
vehicle movement.

HOW DOES SENSITIVE LOCKING
MODE WORK

If the driver suddenly brakes, turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact
of about 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the
seatbelts lock to help reduce forward
movement of the driver and passengers.

In addition, the seatbelt retractor locks if
you pull the seatbelt webbing out too
quickly. If the retractor locks, slowly lower
the height adjuster to allow the seatbelt
to retract.

If the retractor does not unlock, pull the
seatbelt out slowly then feed a small
length of webbing back toward the stowed
position.

For rear seatbelts, recline the rear seat
backrest or push the seat backrest cushion
away from the seatbelt. Feed a small
length of webbing back toward the stowed
position.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING MODE

WHAT IS AUTOMATIC LOCKING
MODE

This is a safety feature built into the
seatbelt retractors that keeps the
seatbelts pre-locked.

ENGAGING AUTOMATIC LOCKING
MODE

E142591

Fasten the combination lap and
shoulder belt.

2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull

downward until you pull the entire belt
out.

3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt

retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
This indicates the seatbelt is now in the
automatic locking mode.

Seatbelts

DISENGAGING 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 locking mode.

ADJUSTING THE SEATBELTS
DURING PREGNANCY

WARNING:

Always ride and drive

with your seatback upright and properly
fasten your seatbelt. Fit the lap portion
of the seatbelt snugly and low across
the hips. Position the shoulder portion of
the seatbelt across your chest. Pregnant
women must follow this practice. See
the following figure.

E142590

Pregnant women should always wear their
seatbelt. Position the lap belt portion of a
combination lap and shoulder belt low
across the hips below the belly and worn
as tight as comfort allows. Position the
shoulder belt to cross the middle of the
shoulder and the center of the chest.

ADJUSTING THE SEATBELT
HEIGHT

WARNING:

Position the seatbelt

height adjuster so that the seatbelt rests
across the middle of your shoulder.
Failure to adjust the seatbelt correctly
could reduce its effectiveness and
increase the risk of injury in a crash.

E145664

Pull the button and slide the height
adjuster up or down.

2. Release the button and pull down on

the height adjuster to make sure it is
locked in place.

SEATBELT REMINDER

HOW DOES THE SEATBELT
REMINDER WORK

This feature supplements the seatbelt
warning function by providing additional
reminders that intermittently sound a tone
and illuminate the seatbelt warning lamp
when you are in the driver seat or you have
a front seat passenger and a seatbelt is
unbuckled.

Seatbelts

The system uses information from the
front passenger sensing system to
determine if a front seat passenger is
present and therefore potentially in need
of a warning. To avoid the system
switching on the Belt-Minder feature for
objects you place on the front passenger
seat, only the front seat passengers receive

warnings as determined by the front
passenger sensing system.

If the Belt-Minder warnings expire
(warnings for about five minutes) for one
passenger (driver or front passenger), the
other passenger can still cause the
Belt-Minder feature to switch on.

Then

The Belt-Minder feature will not activate.

You and the front seat passenger buckle
your seatbelts before you switch the igni-
tion on or less than 1–2 minutes elapse after
you switch the ignition on...

The Belt-Minder feature activates, the
seatbelt warning lamp illuminates and an
indicator tone sounds for 6 seconds every
25 seconds, repeating for about 5 minutes
or until you and the front seat passenger
buckle your seatbelts.

You or the front seat passenger do not
buckle your seatbelts before your vehicle
reaches at least 6.0 mph (9.7 km/h) and
1–2 minutes elapse after you switch the
ignition on...

The seatbelt for the driver or front
passenger is unbuckled for about 1 minute
while the vehicle is traveling at least
6.0 mph (9.7 km/h) and more than 1–2
minutes elapse after you switch the ignition
on...

Seatbelts

SEATBELT REMINDER
INDICATORS

E71880

This lamp illuminates if you do
not fasten your seatbelt when
you switch the ignition on. The

lamp switches off when you fasten your

When the initial warning expires for the
driver, more warnings are provided for the
driver and front passenger. This lamp
illuminates if you or your front passenger
do not fasten the seatbelt buckle and the
vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Note:

To avoid inadvertent warnings, do

not place large objects on the seat.

E355899

This lamp illuminates when you switch the
ignition on, identifying the number of
seating positions with fastened buckles. It
illuminates again when a seating position
changes from unfastened to fastened.

E355900

This warning displays if an occupant
unfastens the rear outboard seatbelt
buckle or it becomes unfastened.

Note:

If a rear outboard seat is unoccupied,

or an occupant never fastens the seatbelt
buckle to begin with, the warning will not
display.

Note:

Front seating positions appear in this

warning display. Warnings for unfastened
front seatbelt buckles appear in the initial
warning lamp.

WARNINGS

A warning tone sounds if the warning lamp
illuminates and your vehicle exceeds a
relatively low speed.

The warning tone sounds for up to five
minutes or until you fasten your seatbelt.

SWITCHING THE SEATBELT
REMINDER ON AND OFF

WARNING:

While the system

allows you to deactivate it, this system
is designed to improve your chances of
being safely belted and surviving an
accident. We recommend you leave the
system activated for yourself and others
who may use the vehicle.

Note:

The driver and front passenger

warnings switch off independently. When
you perform this procedure for one seating
position, do not buckle the other position as
this cancels the process.

Note:

If you are using MyKey, you cannot

disable the seatbelt reminder. Also, if the
seatbelt reminder has been previously
disabled, it will be re-enabled during the use
of MyKey. See

MyKey™

(page 65).

Read Steps 1 - 4 before proceeding with
the programming procedure.

Make sure that:
•

The parking brake is set.

•

The transmission is in park (P).

•

The ignition is off.

•

The driver and front passenger
seatbelts are unfastened.

Switch the ignition on. Do not start the
engine.

2. After Step 1, wait an additional five

seconds before proceeding with Step
3. Once you start Step 3, you must
complete the procedure within 30
seconds.

3. For the seating position you are

switching off, buckle then unbuckle the
seatbelt four times at a moderate
speed, ending in the unbuckled state.
After Step 3, the seatbelt warning light
switches on.

4. When the seatbelt warning light is on,

buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt.
After Step 4, the seatbelt warning light
flashes for confirmation.

This switches the feature off for that
seating position if it is currently on.

This switches the feature on for that
seating position if it is currently off.

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.

Seatbelts

Check the following seatbelt assemblies
after a crash.

•

Retractors.

•

Buckles.

•

Front seatbelt buckle assemblies.

•

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 309).

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.

WHAT IS THE PERSONAL
SAFETY SYSTEM

An advanced safety system that protects
occupants in frontal crashes.

HOW DOES THE PERSONAL
SAFETY SYSTEM WORK

This system provides an improved level of
frontal crash protection to front seat
occupants and is designed to reduce the
risk of airbag-related injuries. The system
analyzes occupant conditions and crash
severity before activating the appropriate
safety devices. During a crash, the
restraints control module may deploy the
seatbelt pretensioners, and one or both
stages of the dual-stage airbags based on
crash severity and occupant conditions.

PERSONAL SAFETY SYSTEM
COMPONENTS

•

Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag
supplemental restraints.

•

Front seat outermost seatbelts with
pretensioners, energy management
retractors and seatbelt usage sensors.

•

Driver seat position sensor.

•

Passenger seat position sensor.

•

Front passenger sensing system.

•

Passenger airbag off and on indicators.

•

Front crash severity sensors.

•

Restraints control module with impact
and safing sensors.

•

Restraint system warning light and
tone.

•

The electrical wiring for the airbags,
crash sensors, seatbelt pretensioners,
front seatbelt usage sensors, front
passenger sensing system and
indicator lights.

Personal Safety 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.

•

Front passenger sensing system.

•

Crash sensors and monitoring system
with readiness indicator. See

Crash

Sensors and Airbag Indicator

(page

56).

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:

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.
