A large number of electronic components of your vehicle contain data storage modules temporarily or permanently storing technical data about the condition of the vehicle, events and errors.
7
In general, this technical information documents the condition of parts, modules, systems or the environment:
•Operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels).
•Status messages of the vehicle and its individual components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions/rotational speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration).
•Malfunction and defects in important system components (e.g. lighting and brake system).
•Vehicle reactions in particular driving situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag, activation of the stability regulation system).
•Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature).
These data are exclusively technical and help identification and correction of errors as well as optimisation of vehicle functions. Motion profiles indicating travelled routes cannot be created with these data.
If services are used (e.g. repair works, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance), employees of the service network (including manufacturers) are able to read out this technical information from the event and error data storage modules using special diagnostic devices. If required, you will receive further information. After an error has been corrected, these data are deleted from the error storage module or they are constantly overwritten.
When using the vehicle, situations may occur in which these technical data related to other information (accident report, damages on the vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person - possibly, with the assistance of an expert.

Introduction
Additional functions contractually agreed upon with the client (e.g. vehicle location in emergency cases) allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.
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.
8
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.
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.

WARNINGS
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child seat on a seat protected by an active airbag in front
of it!
WARNINGS
Your vehicle has a passenger airbag deactivation switch. See Passenger Airbag (page 27). You must switch the airbag off when using a rearward facing
child seat on the front seat. Make sure you switch the airbag back on following removal of the rearward facing child seat. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Use an approved child seat to secure children less than 59 in (150 cm) tall on the rear seat. Failure to follow this
warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you are installing a child seat. Failure to follow this
warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Do not modify child seats in any way. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or
death.
Do not hold a child on your lap when your vehicle is moving. Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious personal injury or death.
To avoid risk of injury, do not leave children or pets unattended in your vehicle.
If your vehicle has been involved in a crash, have the child seats checked by an authorized dealer. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Only child seats certified to ECE-R129 or 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.
Note: Mandatory use of child seats varies from country to country.

Booster Seat (Group 2)
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 child’s shoulder and the lap strap tightly across their hips.
Booster Cushion (Group 3)
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. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Your vehicle has ISOFIX anchor points that accommodate universally approved ISOFIX child seats.
The ISOFIX system has two rigid attachment arms on the child seat. These attach to anchor points on the second row seats, where the cushion and backrest meet. For child seats with a top tether, tether anchor points are on the rear of the second row seats.
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).

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 intheCorrectPosition (page 75). 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.
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.
