ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Ford. We recommend that you take some time to get to know your vehicle by reading this manual. The more that you know about your vehicle, the greater the safety and pleasure you will get from driving it.

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.

Note: This manual describes product features and options available throughout the range of available models, sometimes even before they are generally available. It may describe options not fitted to the vehicle you have purchased.

Note: Some of the illustrations in this manual may show features as used in different models, so they may appear different to you on your vehicle.

Note: Always use and operate your vehicle in line with all applicable laws and regulations.

Note: Pass on this manual when selling your vehicle. It is an integral part of your vehicle.

This manual may qualify the location of a component as left-hand side or right-hand side. The side is determined when facing forward in the seat.

DATA RECORDING

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 malfunctions.

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).

• Malfunctions 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 malfunctions 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 malfunction data storage modules using special diagnostic devices. If required, you will receive further information. After a malfunction has been corrected, these data are deleted from the malfunction 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.

Mustang (CZG) Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015, GR3J 19A321 AKA enGBR, Edition date: 06/2015, First Printing

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.

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.

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.

INSTALLING CHILD RESTRAINTS

E161855

E68916

WARNINGS

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.

Use an approved child seat to secure

children less than 150 cm (59 in) tall

on the rear seat.

Read and follow the manufacturer’s

instructions when you are fitting a

child seat.

Do not modify child seats in any way.

WARNINGS

Do not hold a child on your lap when the vehicle is moving.

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.

Only child seats certified to ECE-R44.03 or later have been tested and approved for use in your vehicle. A choice of child seats are available from authorized dealers.

Note: Mandatory use of child seats varies from country to country.

Note: Children should be properly restrained in a rear seating position whenever possible.

Child Restraints for Different Mass Groups

Use the correct child restraint as follows:

Child Safety Seat

E68920

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

Mustang (CZG) Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015, GR3J 19A321 AKA enGBR, Edition date: 06/2015, First Printing

Child Safety

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 your child's back.

Do not use pillows, books or towels to boost your child’s height.

Make sure that your children sit in an upright position.

Make sure the child seat rests tightly against the vehicle seat. If necessary,

adjust the seat backrest to an upright position. It may also be necessary to lift or remove the head restraint. See Head Restraints (page 91).

You must reinstall the head restraint

following the removal of the child

seat. See Head Restraints (page

91).

Secure children that weigh more than 15 kg (33 lb) but are less than 150 cm (59 in) tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion.

Note: When using as child seat on a rear seat, adjust the front seat in a position to prevent contact with the rear passenger, child feet or child legs.

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. 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 its hips.

Booster Cushion (Group 3)

Mustang (CZG) Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015, GR3J 19A321 AKA enGBR, Edition date: 06/2015, First Printing

Child Safety

ISOFIX Anchor Points

E68945

WARNING

Use an anti-rotation device when using the ISOFIX system. We recommend the use of a top tether

or support leg.

Your vehicle has 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. Tether anchor points are located behind the outboard rear seats for child seats with a top tether.

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 18).

Top Tether Anchor Points

E174400

The top tether anchor points are located at the rear of the rear seat backrest.

Attaching a Child Seat With Top Tethers

WARNING

Do not attach the top tether strap to anything other than the correct top tether strap anchor point.

Follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions for installing a child seat with a top tether.

1. Route the tether strap to the anchor point.

Child Safety

Note: When using a child seat on a front

seat, always adjust the front passenger seat to its fully rearward 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 Sitting in the Correct Position (page 91).

FASTENING THE SEATBELTS

WARNINGS

Insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear a distinct click. You have not fastened the safety belt correctly

if you do not hear a click.

Make sure that your safety belt is securely stored away and is not outside your vehicle when closing the

door.

A web guide is included on the outboard side of the front seats. Depending on occupant size and seating position, you may need to route the belt through the guide for a proper fit. If the safety belt does not route across the middle of the shoulder, route the belt through the web guide.

Seatbelts

Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you pull it sharply or if your vehicle is on a slope.

Press the red button on the buckle to release the belt. Hold the tongue and let it retract completely and smoothly to its stowed position.

Using Safety Belts During Pregnancy

E170730

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.

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.

SEATBELT REMINDER

WARNING

The system will only provide protection when you use the seatbelt correctly.

The warning lamp illuminates and an audible warning will sound when the following conditions have been met:

• The front seatbelts have not been fastened.

• Your vehicle exceeds a relatively low speed.

It will also illuminate and sound if a front seatbelt is unfastened when your vehicle is moving.

If you do not fasten your seatbelt the warning switches off automatically after approximately five minutes.

Seatbelts

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 seatbelt and keep sufficient

distance between yourself and the

steering wheel. Only when you use the seatbelt correctly, can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page 91). Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

Repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column, seats, airbags and

seatbelts 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

E74302

The airbag will deploy during significant frontal collisions. 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.

Supplementary Restraints System

PASSENGER AIRBAG

E151127

The passenger airbag will deploy during significant frontal or near-frontal collisions. 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 front passenger airbag will not deploy.

FRONT PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM

WARNINGS

Even with Advanced Restraints Systems, children 12 and under

should be properly restrained in a rear seating position. Failure to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.

Do not use a rearward facing child

restraint on a seat protected by an

airbag in front of it.

WARNINGS

Sitting improperly out of position or with the seatback reclined too far

can take off weight from the seat cushion and affect the decision of the front passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor.

To reduce the risk of possible serious

injury: Do not stow objects in

seatback map pocket or hang objects off seatback if a child is in the front passenger seat. Do not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between the seat and the center console. Check the passenger airbag off indicator lamp for proper airbag status. Failure to follow these instructions may interfere with the front passenger sensing system.

Any alteration or modification to the

front passenger seat may affect the

performance of the front passenger sensing system.

This system works with sensors that are part of the front passenger seat and seatbelt to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant and determine if the front passenger frontal airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or not.

Supplementary Restraints System

The front passenger sensing system uses a passenger airbag off indicator which will illuminate and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal airbag is disabled.

The indicator lamp is located on the overhead console.

Note: When the ignition is first tuned on, the indicator lamp will illuminate for a short period of time to confirm it is functional.

The front passenger sensing system is designed to disable (will not inflate) the front passenger frontal airbag when a rear facing infant seat, a forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is detected. Even with this technology, parents are strongly encouraged to always properly restrain children in the rear seat. The sensor also turns off the passenger front airbag and seat-mounted side airbag when the passenger seat is empty.

• When the front passenger sensing system disables (will not inflate) the front passenger frontal airbag, the indicator lamp will illuminate and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal airbag is disabled.

• If the child restraint has been installed and the indicator lamp is not lit, then turn the vehicle off, remove the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the restraint following the child restraint manufacturer's instructions.

The front passenger sensing system is designed to enable (may inflate) the front passenger frontal airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger seat.

• When the front passenger sensing system enables the front passenger frontal airbag (may inflate), the indicator lamp will be unlit and stay unlit.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger seat, but the airbag off indicator lamp is lit, it is possible that the person is not sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:

• Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in the full upright position.

• Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the person’s legs comfortably extended.

• Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person and enable the passenger’s frontal airbag.

• If the indicator lamp remains lit even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat.

Supplementary Restraints System

Note: When the front passenger airbag off

light is illuminated, the passenger (seat mounted) side airbag may be disabled to avoid the risk of airbag deployment injuries.

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on seatbelts, it is very important that they continue to sit properly. A properly seated occupant sits upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered on the seat cushion, with their feet comfortably extended on the floor. Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury in a crash event. For example, if an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly increased.

If you think that the status of the passenger airbag off indicator lamp is incorrect, check for the following:

• Objects lodged underneath the seat.

• Objects between the seat cushion and

the center console.

• Objects hanging off the seatback.

• Objects stowed in the seatback map

pocket.

• Objects placed on the occupant's lap.

• Cargo interference with the seat.

• Other passengers pushing or pulling on

the seat.

• Rear passenger feet and knees resting or pushing on the seat.

The conditions listed above may cause the weight of a properly seated occupant to be incorrectly interpreted by the front passenger sensing system. The person in the front passenger seat may appear heavier or lighter due to the conditions described in the list above.

Make sure the front passenger sensing system is operating properly. See Crash

Sensors and Airbag Indicator (page 28). If the airbag readiness light is lit, do the

following:

The driver and adult passengers should check for objects lodged underneath the front passenger seat, or cargo interfering with the seat.

If there are lodged objects, or cargo is interfering with the seat, take the following steps to remove the obstruction:

• Pull the vehicle over.

• Turn the vehicle off.

• Driver and adult passengers should

check for any objects lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat.

• Remove the obstruction(s) (if found).

• Restart the vehicle.

• Wait at least two minutes and verify

that the airbag readiness light is no longer illuminated.

• If the airbag readiness light remains illuminated, this may or may not be a problem due to the front passenger sensing system.

Do not attempt to repair or service the system. Take your vehicle immediately to an authorized dealer.

SIDE AIRBAGS

WARNING

Use seat covers designed for seats with side airbags. Have these fitted by an authorized dealer.
