SAFETY RESTRAINTS Personal Safety System 姞 The Personal Safety System 威 provides an improved overall level of frontal crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help further reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries.
appropriate to activate these safety devices. Front airbags are designed to activate only in frontal and near -frontal collisions (not rollovers, side impacts or rear impacts) unless the collision causes sufficient longitudinal deceleration.
W ARNING: Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back seat and always properly use appropriate child restraints. The front passenger sensing system can automatically turn off the passenger front airbag.
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors its own internal circuits and the circuits for the airbag supplemental restraints, crash sensor(s), safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt buckle sensors, driver seat position sensor , and front passenger sensing system.
W ARNING: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. W ARNING: 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 .
2. T o unfasten, press the release button and remove the tongue from the buckle. All restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts. While you are fastened in the safety belt, the combination lap/shoulder belt adjusts to your movement.
Automatic locking mode When to use the 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.
How to disengage the automatic locking mode W ARNING: Ford Motor Company recommends that all passenger safety belt assemblies and attaching hardware should be inspected by an authorized dealer after any collision to verify that the ⬙ automatic locking retractor ⬙ feature for child seats is still working properly .
W ARNING: The driver and front passenger safety belt system (including retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be replaced if the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags and Safety Canopy 威 , and safety belt pretensioners.
Belt-Minder 姞 The Belt-Minder 威 feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature provides additional reminders by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning light in the instrument cluster when the driver’ s and front passenger’ s safety belt is unbuckled.
If... Then... The driver’ s or front passenger’ s safety belt becomes unbuckled for approximately 1 minute while the vehicle is traveling at least 3 mph (5 km/h) and more than 1-2 minutes have elapsed since the ignition has been switched on.
Reasons given... Consider ... “T raffic is light” Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in single-vehicle crashes, many when no other vehicles are around. “Belts wrinkle my clothes” Possibly , but a serious crash can do much more than wrinkle your clothes, particularly if you are unbelted.
Note: If you are using MyKey™, the Belt-Minder 威 cannot be disabled. Also, if the Belt-Minder 威 has been previously disabled, it will be re-enabled during the use of MyKey™.
• This will enable the Belt-Minder 威 feature for that seating position if it is currently disabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning light will flash four times per second for three second.
Important supplemental restraint system precautions Airbags DO NOT inflate slowly or gently and the risk of injury from a deploying airbag is greatest close to the trim covering the airbag module.
W ARNING: Do not put anything on or over the airbag module. Placing objects on or over the airbag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the airbag into your face and torso causing serious injury . W ARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair , or modify the airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) or its fuses.
How does the airbag supplemental restraint system work? The airbag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains longitudinal deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit that initiates airbag inflation.
W ARNING: 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. The SRS consists of: • driver and passenger airbag modules (which include the inflators and airbags).
• the system determines that an infant is present in a rear -facing infant seat that is installed according to the manufacturer’ s instructions, • the system determines that a small child is pre.
• When the front passenger sensing system enables the front passenger frontal airbag (may inflate), the indicator will be unlit and stay unlit. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front pass.
W ARNING: Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion and affect the decision of the front passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor .
W ARNING: T o reduce the risk of possible serious injury: Do not stow objects in seat back map pocket (if equipped) or hang objects off seat back if a child is in the front passenger seat. Do not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between the seat and the center console (if equipped).
W ARNING: Any alteration/modification to the front passenger seat may affect the performance of the front passenger sensing system. Determining if the system is operational The supplemental restraint system uses a warning indicator light in the instrument cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system.
W ARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair , or modify the airbag SRS, its fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an airbag. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. W ARNING: All occupants of the vehicle should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS is provided.
The fact that the airbags 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.
W ARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair , or modify the Safety Canopy 威 system, its fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the headliner on a vehicle containing a Safety Canopy 威 .
• T wo crash sensors mounted on the B pillar (one on each side of the vehicle). • T wo crash sensors located at the C pillar behind the rear doors (one on each side of the vehicle).
W ARNING: If the Safety Canopy 威 system has deployed, the Safety Canopy 威 will not function again unless replaced. The Safety Canopy 威 system (including the A, B, C, and D pillar trim and headliner) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer .
The SOS Post-Crash Alert can be turned off when any one of the following actions are taken by the driver or any other person: • pressing the hazard control button, • or pressing the panic button on the remote entry transmitter . The feature will continue to operate until the vehicle runs out of power .
Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children Child size, height, weight, or age Recommended restraint type Infants or toddlers Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generally age four or younger) Use a child safety seat (sometimes called an infant carrier , convertible seat, or toddler seat).
Recommendations for attaching child safety restraints for children Restraint T ype Child W eight Use any attachment method as indicated below by “X” LA TCH (lower anchors and top tether anchor) LA.
W ARNING: 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, which may result in serious injury or death. W ARNING: Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child.
restrained properly , then restrain the child in the child safety seat or with the belt-positioning booster . Remember that child seats and belt-positioning boosters vary and may be designed to fit children of different heights, ages and weights.
When installing a child safety seat with combination lap/shoulder belts: • Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position. • 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.
2. Pull down on the shoulder belt and then grasp the shoulder belt and lap belt together . 3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together , route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions.
5. T o put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull downward until all of the belt is pulled out. 6. Allow the belt to retract to remove slack. The belt will click as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.
10. Before placing the child in the seat, forcibly move the seat forward and back to make sure the seat is securely held in place. T o check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to side and forward and back. There should be no more than 1 inch (2.
Y our vehicle has LA TCH lower anchors for child seat installation at the seating positions marked with the child seat symbol. The LA TCH anchors are located at the rear section of the rear seat between the cushion and seatback, below the locator symbols on the seat back.
W ARNING: Never attach two child safety seats to the same anchor . In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury or death.
Attaching child safety seats with tether straps Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring point called the top tether anchor . T ether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats.
3. Open the tether anchor cover . 4. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as shown. If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly , the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision. 5. T ighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the manufacturer’ s instructions.
both the lap and shoulder belt on children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford Motor Company recommends use of a belt-positioning booster . Booster seats position a child so that vehicle lap/shoulder safety belts fit better .
T ypes of booster seats There are generally two types of belt-positioning booster seats: backless and high back. Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle lap/shoulder belt. • Backless booster seats If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield.
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 .
Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat. W ARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder belt under a child’ s arm or behind the back because it reduces the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision.
INFORMA TION ABOUT UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING T ire Quality Grades apply to new pneumatic passenger car tires. The Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
W ARNING: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics.
Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire’ s load carrying capability . • kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure.
W ARNING: Under -inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation or ⬙ blowout ⬙ , with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury . Under -inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance, resulting in heat buildup and internal damage to the tire.
Note: If you have to drive a distance to get air for your tire(s), check and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air pressure when you get to the pump. It is normal for tires to heat up and the air pressure inside to go up as you drive.
Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear abnormally . Inspect all your tires, including the spare, frequently , and replace them if one or more of the following conditions ex.
U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN) Both U.S. and Canada Federal regulations require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides a U.
W ARNING: When mounting replacement tires and wheels, you should not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire to set the beads without additional precautions listed below . If the beads do not seat at the maximum pressure indicated, re-lubricate and try again.
• Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against a curb when parking W ARNING: If your vehicle is stuck in snow , mud, sand, etc., do not rapidly spin the tires; spinning the tires can tear the tire and cause an explosion. A tire can explode in as little as three to five seconds.

Note: Y our vehicle may be equipped with a dissimilar spare tire/wheel.
3. 65: Indicates the aspect ratio which gives the tire’ s ratio of height to width. 4. R: Indicates a “radial” type tire. 5. 15: Indicates the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the new wheel diameter .
8. U.S. DOT T ire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code designating where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built.
13. Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure: Indicates the tire manufacturers’ maximum permissible pressure and/or the pressure at which the maximum load can be carried by the tire.
Information on “T” type tires “T” type tires have some additional information beyond those of “P” type tires; these differences are described below: T145/80D16 is an example of a tire size. Note: The temporary tire size for your vehicle may be different from this example.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. W ARNING: The T ire Pressure Monitoring System is NOT a substitute for manually checking tire pressure.
When your temporary spare tire is installed When one of your road tires needs to be replaced with the temporary spare, the TPMS system will continue to identify an issue to remind you that the damaged road wheel/tire needs to be repaired and put back on your vehicle.

SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS W ARNING: Snow tires must be the same size, load index, speed rating as those originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover , personal injury and death.
SUMMER TIRES Y our T aurus SHO may be equipped with summer tires to provide superior performance on wet and dry roads. Summer tires do not have the Mud and Snow (M+S or M/S) tire traction rating on the tire side wall.
Payload – is the combined weight of cargo and passengers that the vehicle is carrying. The maximum payload for your vehicle can be found on the T ire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’ s door (vehicles exported outside the US and Canada may not have a T ire Label).
Example only: Cargo W eight – includes all weight added to the Base Curb W eight, including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, trailer tongue load weight is also part of cargo weight.
GA W (Gross Axle W eight) – is the total weight placed on each axle (front and rear) – including vehicle curb weight and all payload. GA WR (Gross Axle W eight Rating) – is the maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear).
• Example only: W ARNING: Exceeding the Safety Compliance Certification Label vehicle weight rating limits could result in substandard vehicle handling or performance, engine, transmission and/or structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, loss of control and personal injury .
GCW (Gross Combined W eight) – is the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW) plus the weight of the fully loaded trailer . GCWR (Gross Combined W eight Rating) – is the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle and the loaded trailer – including all cargo and passengers – that the vehicle can handle without risking damage.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs. 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity .
1,400 - (2 x 220) - (9 x 100) = 1,400 - 440 - 900 = 60 lb. Now you have the load capacity to transport the cement and your friend home. In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg - (2 x 99 kg) - (9 x 45 kg) = 635 - 198 - 405 = 32 kg.
If you use a rental trailer , follow the instructions that the rental agency gives to you. Do not attach safety chains to the bumper . T railer brakes Electric brakes and manual, automatic or surge-type trailer brakes are safe if installed properly and adjusted to the manufacturer’ s specifications.
• It is recommended to select the L (Low) gear position when additional engine braking is needed. In situations such as prolonged downhill driving on steep grades (i.e., driving in mountainous areas), additional engine braking is needed to reduce the load on the vehicle’ s regular brake system to prevent them from overheating.
