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 Owners 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.
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.

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 SEATS

WARNINGS
Use an approved child seat to secure children less than 59 inches (150 centimeters) tall in the rear seat.
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child seat on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it!
Read and follow the manufacturers instructions when you are installing a child seat.
Do not modify child seats in any way.
Do not hold a child on your lap when your vehicle is moving.
Do not leave unattended children in your vehicle.
WARNINGS
If your vehicle has been involved in a crash, have the child seats checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: Mandatory use of child seats varies from country to country.
Only child seats certified to ECE-R44.03 (or later) have been tested and approved for use in your vehicle. A choice of these are available from an authorized dealer.
Child Seats for Different Mass Groups
Use the correct child seat as follows:
Baby Safety Seat
Secure children that weigh less than 29 pounds (13 kilograms) in a rearward facing baby safety seat (Group 0+) on the rear seat.
15
B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 10-03-2014 Vehicles Built Up To: 03-05-2015, CG3573en enGBR, Edition date: 02/2014, Third Printing

Child Safety

Child Safety Seat
Secure children that weigh between 29 and 40 pounds (13 and 18 kilograms) in a child safety seat (Group 1) on 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
childs arm or behind their back.
Do not use pillows, books or towels
to boost your child’s height.
Make sure that your children sit in an
upright position.
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 82).
Booster Seat (Group 2)
Secure children that weigh more than 33 pounds (15 kilograms) but are less than 59 inches (150 centimeters) tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion.
We recommend that you use a booster seat that combines a cushion with a backrest instead of a booster cushion only. The raised seating position will allow you to position the shoulder strap of the adult safety belt over the center of your childs shoulder and the lap strap tightly across their hips.
Booster Cushion (Group 3)

Child Safety
ISOFIX Anchor Points
WARNING
Use an anti-rotation device when using the ISOFIX system. We recommend the use of a top tether
or support leg.
Note: When you are purchasing an ISOFIX seat, make sure that you know the correct mass group and ISOFIX size class for the intended seating locations. See Child Seat Positioning (page 18).
Your vehicle has ISOFIX anchor points that accommodate universally approved ISOFIX child seats.
The ISOFIX system comprises two rigid attachment arms on the child seat that attach to anchor points on the outboard rear seats, where the cushion and backrest meet. Tether anchor points are located behind the outboard rear seats for child seats with a top tether.
Top Tether Anchor Points
Attaching a Child Seat with Top Tethers
WARNINGS
Do not attach a tether strap to anything other than the correct tether anchor point.
Make sure that the top tether strap is not slack or twisted and is properly located on the anchor point.
Note: Where applicable, remove the luggage cover to ease installation. See Luggage Covers (page 121).
Note: You may need to raise or remove the head restraint to ease installation. See Head Restraints (page 82).
1. Route the tether strap under the head restraint to the anchor point.
2. Push the child seat back firmly to engage the ISOFIX lower anchor points.
3. Tighten the tether strap in line with the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

Child Safety

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS
See an authorized dealer for the latest details relating to our recommended child seats.
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child seat on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it!
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.
WARNINGS
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 82).
Note: When using a child seat on a front seat, always adjust the front passenger's seat to its fully rearward position. 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. See Seats (page 82).

Pregnant women should always wear their safety belt. The lap belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt should be positioned low across the hips below the belly and worn as tight as comfort will allow. The shoulder belt should be positioned to cross the middle of the shoulder and the center of the chest.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS
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.
Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Wear a safety belt and keep
sufficient distance between yourself
and the steering wheel. Only when you use the safety belt correctly, can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page 82). Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
safety belts must be carried out by an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Keep the areas in front of the airbags
free from obstruction. Do not affix
anything to or over the airbag covers. In the event of a crash, hard objects could cause serious personal injury or death.
Do not puncture the seat with sharp
objects. This could damage and
adversely affect deployment of the airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
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.

DRIVER AIRBAG

The airbag will deploy during significant frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupant, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.

PASSENGER AIRBAG

The airbag will deploy during a significant frontal crash or crashes that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupant cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal crashes, sideways crashes, rear crashes or overturns, the airbag will not deploy.
Switching the Passenger Airbag Off

SIDE AIRBAGS

WARNING
Use seat covers designed for seats with side airbags. Have these fitted by an authorized dealer.
The airbags are located inside the seatback of the front seats. There is a label attached to the side of the seatback to indicate this.
The airbag will deploy during significant lateral collisions. The airbag will not deploy in minor lateral and frontal collisions, rear collisions, or overturns.

DRIVER KNEE AIRBAG

WARNING
Do not attempt to open the airbag cover.
The airbag will deploy during frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing a cushion between the drivers knees and the steering column. During overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the knee airbag will not deploy.
For item location: See At a Glance (page
9).
Note: The airbag has a lower deployment threshold than the front airbags. During a minor collision, it is possible that only the knee airbag will deploy.

SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS

The airbags are located over the front and rear side windows.
The airbag will deploy during significant lateral collisions. It will also deploy during significant frontal angled collisions. The curtain airbag will not deploy in minor lateral and frontal collisions, rear collisions, or overturns.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES

Note: Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.
The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 ft (10 m).
A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
weather conditions
nearby radio towers
structures around your vehicle
other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle.
The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by other short distance radio transmissions (e.g. amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm systems). If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.
Note: Make sure your vehicle is locked before leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control will operate if you press any button unintentionally.
Note: The remote control contains sensitive electrical components. Exposure to moisture or impact may cause permanent damage.

REMOTE CONTROL

You can program a maximum of eight remote controls to your vehicle. This includes any that were supplied with your vehicle. The remote controls must remain inside your vehicle during the programming procedure. Fasten the front safety belts and close all doors to make sure that conflicting chimes do not sound during programming.
Programming a New Remote Control
1. Turn the ignition key from position 0 to
position II four times within six seconds.
2. Turn the ignition to position 0. A tone
sounds to indicate that it is now possible to program a remote control.
3. Press any button on a new remote
control within 10 seconds. A tone will sound as confirmation.
4. Repeat step three within 10 seconds
for each new remote control. Do not remove the key from the ignition when pressing the button on the remote control.
