REPLACEMENT PARTS
RECOMMENDATION
Your vehicle has been built to the highest
standards using quality parts. We
recommend that you demand the use of
genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts
whenever your vehicle requires scheduled
maintenance or repair. You can clearly
identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts
by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or
Motorcraft branding on the parts or their
packaging.
Scheduled Maintenance and
Mechanical Repairs
One of the best ways for you to make sure
that your vehicle provides years of service
is to have it maintained in line with our
recommendations using parts that
conform to the specifications detailed in
this Owner’s Manual. Genuine Ford and
Motorcraft parts meet or exceed these
specifications.
Collision Repairs
We hope that you never experience a
collision, but accidents do happen. Genuine
Ford replacement collision parts meet our
stringent requirements for fit, finish,
structural integrity, corrosion protection
and dent resistance. During vehicle
development we validate these parts
deliver the intended level of protection as
a whole system. A great way to know for
sure you are getting this level of protection
is to use genuine Ford replacement
collision parts.

Ecosport (CBW) India, Vehicles Built From: 01-08-2015, enIND, Edition date: 08/2015
Introduction
Warranty on Replacement Parts
Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement
parts are the only replacement parts that
benefit from a Ford Warranty. Damage
caused to your vehicle as a result of the
failure of non-Ford parts may not be
covered by the Ford Warranty. For
additional information, refer to the terms
and conditions of the Ford Warranty.
SPECIAL NOTICES
WARNING
Do not use abrasives or chemicals
solvents on the tag.
We have installed the radio frequency
identifier (RFID) tag in your vehicle in
compliance with the government directives
under the MORTH final notification GSR
207 (E), dated 08 April 2013. Ford does not
in any way guarantee or warrant the
quality, contents, accuracy of the product
or data contained in the tag.
This tag is for the exclusive use of
government authorities or personnel
authorized by the government. The
responsibility of keeping and maintaining
the RFID tag is with the owner of the
vehicle.
Note: The tag is on the top left-hand side
of the windshield.
MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS
EQUIPMENT
Using mobile communications equipment
is becoming increasingly important in the
conduct of business and personal affairs.
However, you must not compromise your
own or others’ safety when using such
equipment. Mobile communications can
enhance personal safety and security when
appropriately used, particularly in
emergency situations. Safety must be
paramount when using mobile
communications equipment to avoid
negating these benefits. Mobile
communication equipment includes, but
is not limited to, cellular phones, pagers,
portable email devices, text messaging
devices and portable two-way radios.
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving.

INSTALLING CHILD
RESTRAINTS
E133140
E68916
WARNINGS
Use an approved child restraint to
secure children less than 150
centimeters (59 inches) tall in the
rear seat.
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an air bag in front
of it!
Read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when you are fitting a
child restraint.
Do not modify child restraints in any
way.
WARNINGS
Do not hold a child on your lap when
the vehicle is moving.
Do not leave unattended children in
your vehicle.
If your vehicle has been involved in
an accident, have the child restraints
checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: Children should be properly
restrained in a rear seating position
whenever possible. When using a child
safety seat ensure that the rear seat back
is in the most upright position.
Child Restraints for Different Mass
Groups
Use the correct child restraint as follows:
Baby Safety Seat
E68918
Secure children that weigh less than 13
kilograms (29 pounds) in a rearward facing
baby safety seat (Group 0+) in the rear
seat.

Child Safety
Child Safety Seat
E68920
Secure children that weigh between 13 and
18 kilograms (29 and 40 pounds) in a child
safety seat (Group 1) in the rear seat.
Booster Seats
WARNINGS
Do not install a booster seat or a
booster cushion with only the lap
strap of the safety belt.
Do not install a booster seat or a
booster cushion with a safety belt
that is slack or twisted.
Do not put the safety belt under your
child’s arm or behind its back.
Do not use pillows, books or towels
to boost your child’s height.
Make sure that your children sit in an
upright position.
Secure children that weigh more
than 15 kilograms (33 pounds) but
are less than 150 centimeters (59
inches) tall in a booster seat or a booster
cushion.
Note: When using a child seat on a rear
seat, make sure that the child seat rests
tightly against the vehicle seat. It may be
necessary to lift or remove the head
restraint. See Head Restraints (page 67).
Booster Seat (Group 2)
E70710
We recommend that you use a booster
seat that combines a cushion with a
backrest instead of a booster cushion only.

to position the shoulder strap of the adult
safety belt over the center of your child’s
shoulder and the lap strap tightly across
its hips.

Child Safety
Note: When you are purchasing an ISOFIX
restraint, make sure that you know the
correct mass group and ISOFIX size class
for the intended seating locations. See
Child Restraint Positioning (page 15).
Your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX anchor
points that accommodate universally
approved ISOFIX child restraints.
The ISOFIX system comprises two rigid
attachment arms on the child restraint that
attach to anchor points on the outboard
rear seats, where the cushion and backrest
meet.
E87145
Push the child seat back firmly to engage
the ISOFIX lower anchor points.
CHILD RESTRAINT
POSITIONING
WARNINGS
Please consult your dealer for the
latest details relating to Ford
recommended child seats.
Extreme Hazard! Never use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an active airbag in
front of it. Death or serious injury to the
child can occur.
When using a child seat with a
support leg, the support leg must
rest securely on the floor.
When using a child seat with a safety
belt, make sure that the safety belt
is not slack or twisted.
The child seat must rest tightly
against the vehicle seat. It may be
necessary to lift or remove the head
restraint. See Head Restraints (page 67).
Note: When using a child seat on a front
seat, always adjust the front passenger seat
as far back as possible. If it proves difficult
to tighten the lap section of the safety belt
without slack remaining, adjust the seatback
to the fully upright position and raise the
height of the seat.

FASTENING THE SEATBELTS
WARNINGS
Insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear a distinct click. You have
not fastened the safety belt properly
if you do not hear a click.
Make sure that your safety belt is
securely stored away and is not
outside the vehicle when closing the
door.
Always use the safety belts and child
restraint systems.
The upper belt strap should rest on the
shoulder; never over the neck. The lower
belt strap should rest over the pelvic area;
never over the stomach.
Never use one belt for more than one
person. Make sure the belts are not twisted
or loose, nor obstructed by other
passengers or packages.
Fasten the safety belt only with the vehicle
at a standstill; never when the vehicle is
moving.
Do not recline the front seat backrests
excessively, as the seatbelts only provide
maximum protection when the backrests
are in a nearly vertical position.
Retractable-inertial three-point safety
belts
This type of safety belt is available with
the front seats of all models, and with the
rear seat of some models. Keep the belt
retention buckle on the back floor, free
from luggage or objects.
Buckling the safety belt
Pull the safety belt with a steady
movement to avoid a block. Insert the
buckle tab into the belt lock until your hear
a click, and make sure it is locked in place.
Releasing the safety belt
Press the red button on the buckle. Then
let the belt roll up smoothly and
completely.
E74124
Fixed rear center lap belt
E102129
When buckling, make sure you hear a click
confirming that the tab is latched into the
belt lock. To tighten it, pull the loose end
through the buckle until the belt is
comfortably adjusted around the hips.
18
Ecosport (CBW) India, Vehicles Built From: 01-08-2015, enIND, Edition date: 08/2015
Seatbelts
Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you
pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.
Press the red button on the buckle to
release the belt. Let it retract completely
and smoothly.
Using Safety Belts During
Pregnancy
E68587
WARNING
Position the safety belt correctly for
your safety and that of your unborn
child. Do not use only the lap strap
or the shoulder strap.
Position the lap strap comfortably across
your hips and low beneath your pregnant
abdomen. Position the shoulder strap
between your breasts, above and to the
side of your pregnant abdomen.
SEATBELT REMINDER
WARNING
The system will only provide
protection when you use the safety
belt properly.
The warning lamp illuminates and an
audible warning will sound when any of
the following conditions have been met:
• The driver's safety belt has not been
fastened.
• The front passenger's seat is occupied
and the safety belt has not been
fastened.
• The vehicle exceeds a relatively low
speed.
If you do not fasten your safety belt, both
warnings will switch off automatically after
about five minutes.

Seatbelts
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags.
Never use a child or baby seat in the
front seat on the passenger side.
Maximum airbag efficiency is
obtained with the correct seat and
seat backrest adjustment. Adjust
them so that the steering wheel can be
held with the arms slightly bent, and place
the seat backrest almost in the vertical
position (30° at most). Fasten the seatbelt
and keep a distance of at least 25
centimeters between the steering wheel
and the driver's chest to reduce the risk of
injury for being much too close to the
airbag when it is inflated. The same applies
to the front passenger.
Have repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
safety belts carried out only by an
authorized dealer.
Do not place anything over the
airbag. Objects placed over the
airbag inflation area may be
projected on your face and torso when the
airbag is triggered, causing serious injury.
Failure to follow these instructions may
increase the risk of injury in case of a crash.
Do not puncture the seat with pins,
needles or other pointed objects.
This could cause damage and
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags.
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have them
installed by an authorized dealer.
WARNINGS
Many airbag system components
become hot after triggering. Avoid
touching any component of the
airbag system soon after triggering as this
may result in serious injury.
Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a
cloud of harmless powdery residue if an
airbag deploys. This is normal.
Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a damp
cloth.
Note: Do not allow passengers in the front
seat to ride with their feet, knees or any
other body part touching or too close to the
airbag cover. There is a risk of serious injury
if the airbag is triggered.
Note: Never place your arm over the airbag
as a deploying airbag can result in serious
arm fractures or other injuries.
Note: Modifying or adding equipment to
the front part of the vehicle (including
chassis, bumper, front body structures and
towing hooks) may affect the performance
of the airbag system, increasing the risk of
injury. Do not modify the front part of your
vehicle.
