features and options available throughout
the range, sometimes even before they are

not fitted to your vehicle.
Note: Some of the illustrations in this
manual may be used for different models,
so may appear different to your vehicle.
However, the essential information in the
illustrations is always correct.
Note: Always use and operate your vehicle
in line with all applicable laws and
regulations.

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.

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.

CHILD SEATS
WARNINGS
Secure children that are less than
150 centimetres (59 inches) tall in a
suitable, approved child restraint, in
the rear seat.
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a

of it!
Read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when you are fitting a
child restraint.
Do not modify child restraints in any
way.
Do not hold a child on your lap when
the vehicle is moving.
WARNINGS
Do not leave unattended children in
your vehicle.
If your vehicle has been involved in
an accident, have the child restraints
checked by properly trained
technicians.
Note: Mandatory use of child restraints
varies from country to country.
Only child restraints certified to
ECE-R44.03 (or later) have been tested
and approved for use in your vehicle. A
choice of these are available from your
Dealer.
Child restraints for different mass
groups

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING
WARNINGS
Please consult your Dealer for the
latest details relating to Ford
recommended child seats.
WARNINGS
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint 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 seat
belt, make sure that the seat belt is
not slack or twisted.
CAUTION
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 111).
Note: When using a child seat on a front
seat, always adjust the front passenger seat
to its fully rearwards position. If it proves
difficult to tighten the lap section of the seat
belt without slack remaining, adjust the
seatback to the fully upright position and
raise the height of the seat. See Seats
(page 110).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Airbags
WARNINGS
Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags.
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front
of it!
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a
position that allows the airbag to achieve
its optimum effect. See Sitting in the
Correct Position (page 110).
Have repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
seat belts carried out by a properly
trained technician.
Keep the areas in front of the airbags
free from obstruction. Do not affix
anything to or over the airbag covers.
Do not poke sharp objects into areas
where airbags are fitted. This could
damage and adversely affect
deployment of the airbags.
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by a properly trained technician.
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.
Front airbags
The driver airbag, front passenger airbag
and the front seat belt pretensioners will
deploy during significant frontal collisions
or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from
the left or the right. The airbags will inflate
within a few thousandths of a second and
deflate on contact with the occupants,
thus cushioning forward body movement.
During minor frontal collisions, overturns,
rear collisions and side collisions, the driver
and front passenger airbags will not
deploy.
Side and curtain airbags
During significant lateral collisions, only
the airbags on the side affected by the
collision and the front seat belt
pretensioners will deploy. The airbags will
inflate within a few thousandths of a
second and deflate on contact with the
occupants, thus providing protection for
the body. The side and curtain airbags will
not deploy during minor lateral collisions,
front collisions, rear collisions or overturns.

Occupant protection
Side airbags
Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback
of the front seats. A label indicates that
side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
Curtain airbags
Curtain airbags are fitted inside the trim
panels over the front and rear side
windows. Moulded badges in the B-pillar
trim panels indicate that curtain airbags
are fitted to your vehicle.
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a
position to achieve its optimum effect. See
Sitting in the Correct Position (page
110).
WARNINGS
Never use a seat belt for more than
one person.
Use the correct buckle for each seat
belt.
Do not use a seat belt that is slack
or twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The seat
belt must fit tightly around your body
to achieve its optimum effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the
seat belt over the centre of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
The driver and front passenger seat belt
systems are fitted with a seat belt
pretensioner. Seat belt pretensioners have
a lower deployment threshold than the
airbags. During minor collisions, it is
possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will deploy.
Status after a collision
WARNINGS
Seat belts subjected to strain, as a
result of an accident, should be
renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician.
If a seat belt pretensioner has been
deployed the seat belt must be
renewed.
FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
Insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear a distinct click. You have
not fastened the seat belt properly
if you do not hear a click.

on the adjuster and move as necessary.
SEAT BELT REMINDER
WARNING
The occupant protection system will
only provide optimum protection
when you use the seat belt properly.
The seat belt reminder warning
lamp illuminates and an audible
warning will sound if the driver's
or front seat passenger's seat belt has not
been fastened and the vehicle exceeds a
relatively low speed. It will also illuminate
if the driver's or front seat passenger's seat
belt is unfastened when the vehicle is
moving. The audible warning will go off
after a few minutes but the seat belt
reminder warning lamp will remain on until
the driver's or front seat passenger's seat
belt is fastened.
