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.

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.

Secure children that weigh between 13 and 18 kilograms (29 and 40 pounds) in a child safety seat (Group 1) in the rear seat.

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 airbag 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.
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 110).
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 safety belt without slack remaining, adjust the seatback to the fully upright position and raise the height of the seat. See Seats (page 109).

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 restraint, make sure that you know the correct mass group and ISOFIX size class for the intended seating locations. See Child Seat Positioning (page 19).
Your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX anchor points that accommodate universally approved ISOFIX child restraints.
The ISOFIX system comprises of two rigid attachment arms on the child restraint that attach to anchor points on the rear seats, where the cushion and backrest meet. Tether anchor points may also be fitted.
Top tether anchor points - 5-door and wagon
Top tether anchor points - 4 door
The tether anchor points are located under a flap.

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 safety belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself
and the steering wheel. Only when you use the safety 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 109).
Have repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
safety 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 safety 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 safety 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.
Safety belts
WARNINGS
Wear a safety belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself
and the steering wheel. Only when you use the safety belt properly, can it hold you in a position to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct
Position (page 109).
WARNINGS
Never use a safety belt for more than one person.
Use the correct buckle for each safety belt.
Do not use a safety belt that is slack or twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The safety belt must fit tightly around your body to achieve its optimum
effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the safety belt over the centre of your shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
The driver and front passenger safety belt systems are fitted with a safety belt pretensioner. Safety belt pretensioners have a lower deployment threshold than the airbags. During minor collisions, it is possible that only the safety belt pretensioners will deploy.
Status after a collision
WARNINGS
Safety belts subjected to strain, as a result of an accident, should be renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician.
If a safety belt pretensioner has been deployed the safety belt must be renewed.

FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS

WARNING
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.

Occupant protection
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.

SAFETY BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Note: Lifting the slider slightly while
pressing the locking button makes it easier to release the locking mechanism.
To raise or lower, press the locking button on the adjuster and move as necessary.

BELT MINDER

WARNING
The occupant protection system will only provide optimum protection when you use the safety belt
properly.
The safety belt minder warning lamp illuminates and an audible
warning will sound if the driver's or front seat passenger's safety 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

safety belt is unfastened when the vehicle is moving. The audible warning will go off after a few minutes but the safety belt minder warning lamp will remain on until the driver's or front seat passenger's safety belt is fastened.
Rear safety belt minder
WARNING
If multiple belts are unfastened within a few seconds of each other, only one audible chime will sound.
Note: Press the OK button on the steering wheel control to confirm the message.
A visual reminder of the safety belt status will be shown on the instrument display once the engine is started, and once again if any are unfastened when the vehicle is moving.
Fastened safety belts are indicated by a tick symbol.
If a belt is unfastened when the vehicle is moving, the safety belt status screen will be displayed and the relevant seats will be highlighted by an exclamation mark. An audible chime will also sound.
Deactivating the safety belt minder
See your dealer.

USING SAFETY BELTS DURING PREGNANCY

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.

DISABLING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG

WARNING
Make sure that the passenger airbag is disabled when using a rearward facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat.
