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 it, 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 handheld 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 your vehicle.

Note: Some of the illustrations in this manual may be used for different models, so may appear different to you on 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.

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

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.

Ranger (TKE) Vehicles Built From: 27-01-2014, DB39120609AC (CG3575en) enGBR, Edition date: 12/2013

Introduction

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.

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.

SPECIAL NOTICES

If converting or modifying your vehicle from production specification, refer to the Body and Equipment Mounting Manual at www.etis.ford.com/fordservice.

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 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 manufacturer’s 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.

Ranger (TKE) Vehicles Built From: 27-01-2014, DB39120609AC (CG3575en) enGBR, Edition date: 12/2013

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

child’s 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 76).

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 child’s shoulder and the lap strap tightly across their hips.

Child Safety

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

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.

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 center of your

shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.

The driver and front passenger seat belt retractors are fitted with a seat belt pretensioner. Seat belt pretensioners have a lower deployment threshold than the air bags. During minor collisions, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will deploy.

Status After a Collision

WARNING

If your vehicle has been involved in

an accident, have the seat belts and

anchorages checked by properly trained technicians.

FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS

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.

Safety Belts

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

The rear outer safety belts can lock if you return the seatback from a folded position to the upright position forcefully. Should the safety belt lock, recline the seat using the recline adjustment. See Rear Seats (page 76).

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

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.

SAFETY BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

Position the safety belt height adjuster so that the safety belt rests

across the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety belt correctly could reduce its effectiveness and increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Safety Belts

To adjust the shoulder belt height, pull the button and slide the height adjuster up or down.

SAFETY BELT MINDER

WARNING

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

Type 1: The warning lamp illuminates for 6 seconds when you switch the ignition on to remind the driver to fasten the safety belt.

Type 2: The warning lamp continues to illuminate when the driver’s safety belt is not fastened.

Type 3: The warning lamp illuminates and a tone sounds when the following conditions have been met:

• The front safety belts have not been fastened.

• Your vehicle exceeds a relatively low speed.

It will also illuminate when a front safety belt is unfastened in an occupied seat and your vehicle is moving.

If you do not fasten your safety belt, the audible warning will turn off automatically after approximately five minutes. The warning lamp continues to illuminate until you fasten the safety belt.

Switching the Safety Belt Minder Off

See an authorized dealer.

Safety Belts

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 72). 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.

Fitting the Passenger Airbag Deactivation Switch

WARNING

If you need to fit a child restraint on a seat protected by an operational

airbag in front of it, have a passenger airbag deactivation switch fitted. Have this fitted by an authorized dealer.

If the airbag warning lamp illuminates or flashes when you are driving, this indicates a malfunction. Remove the child restraint and have the system checked immediately.

Switching the Passenger Airbag Off
