12 Introduction

DATA RECORDING

Service Data Recording

Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and
storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may
access or share among them vehicle diagnostic information received
through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing
your vehicle. Additionally, when your vehicle is in for service or repair,
Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities
may access or share among them data for vehicle improvement purposes.
For U.S. only (if equipped), if you choose to use the SYNC® Vehicle
Health Report, you consent that certain diagnostic information may also
be accessed electronically by Ford Motor Company and Ford authorized
service facilities, and that the diagnostic information may be used for any
purpose. See the SYNC® chapter for more information.

Event Data Recording

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle; this data will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were

buckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator
and/or the brake pedal;

• How fast the vehicle was travelling;

• Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.

This data can help provide a better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

Introduction 13

Note: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data or information (e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location) is recorded (see limitations
regarding 911 Assist and Traffic, Directions and Information privacy
below). However, parties, such as law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that
have such special equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR. Ford Motor Company and Ford of
Canada do not access event data recorder information without
obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court order or where
required by law enforcement, other government authorities or
other third parties acting with lawful authority. Other parties may
seek to access the information independently of Ford Motor
Company and Ford of Canada.

Note: Including to the extent that any law pertaining to Event Data
Recorders applies to SYNC® or its features, please note the
following: Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is enabled (set ON), 911
Assist may, through any paired and connected cell phone, disclose
to emergency services that the vehicle has been in a crash involving
the deployment of an airbag or, in certain vehicles, the activation of
the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911 Assist
may also be capable of being used to electronically or verbally
provide to 911 operators the vehicle location (such as latitude and
longitude), and/or other details about the vehicle or crash or
personal information about the occupants to assist 911 operators
to provide the most appropriate emergency services. If you do not
want to disclose this information, do not activate the 911 Assist
feature. See your SYNC® chapter for more information.

Additionally, when you connect to Traffic, Directions and
Information (if equipped, U.S. only), the service uses GPS
technology and advanced vehicle sensors to collect the vehicle’s
current location, travel direction, and speed (“vehicle travel
information”), only to help provide you with the directions, traffic
reports, or business searches that you request. If you do not want
Ford or its vendors to receive this information, do not activate the
service. For more information, see Traffic, Directions and
Information, Terms and Conditions. See your SYNC® chapter for
more information.

16 Introduction

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.

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.

EXPORT UNIQUE (NON–UNITED STATES/CANADA) VEHICLE SPECIFIC INFORMATION

For your particular global region, your vehicle may be equipped with
features and options that are different from the features and options that
are described in this owner’s manual. A market unique supplement may
be supplied that complements this book. By referring to the market
unique supplement, if provided, you can properly identify those features,
recommendations and specifications that are unique to your vehicle.
This owner’s manual is written primarily for the U.S. and Canadian
Markets. Features or equipment listed as standard may be different
on units built for Export. See this owner’s manual for all other

required information and warnings.

Child Safety 17

GENERAL INFORMATION

See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety
restraints for children.

WARNING: Always make sure your child is secured properly

in a device that is appropriate for their height, age and weight.
Child safety restraints must be bought separately from your vehicle.
Failure to follow these instructions and guidelines may result in an
increased risk of serious injury or death to your child.

WARNING: All children are shaped differently. The

recommendations for safety restraints are based on probable
child height, age and weight thresholds from NHTSA and other
safety organizations, or are the minimum requirements of law.
Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger
Safety Technician (CPST) and consulting your pediatrician to make
sure your child seat is appropriate for your child, and is compatible
with and properly installed in your vehicle. To locate a child seat fitting
station and CPST, contact the NHTSA toll free at 1-888-327-4236 or on
the internet at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov. In Canada, check with your
local St. John Ambulance office for referral to a CPST or for further
information, contact your provincial ministry of transportation, or locate
your local St. John Ambulance office by searching for St. John
Ambulance on the internet, or Transport Canada at 1–800–333–0371
(http://www.tc.gc.ca). Failure to properly restrain children in safety
seats made especially for their height, age, and weight may result in an
increased risk of serious injury or death to your child.

18 Child Safety

Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children

Child size, height, weight, or
age

Infants or
toddlers

Small
children

Larger
children

• You are required by law to properly use safety seats for infants and
toddlers in the U.S. and Canada.

• Many states and provinces require that small children use approved
booster seats until they reach age eight, a height of 4 feet 9 inches
(1.45 meters) tall, or 80 pounds (36 kilograms). Check your local and
state or provincial laws for specific requirements about the safety of
children in your vehicle.

• When possible, always properly restrain children twelve (12) years of
age and under in a rear seating position of your vehicle. Accident
statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seating positions than in a front seating position.

Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg)
or less (generally age four or
younger).

Children who have outgrown or no
longer properly fit in a child safety
seat (generally children who are
less than 4 ft. 9 in. (1.45 m) tall,
are greater than age four (4) and
less than age twelve (12), and
between 40 lb (18 kg) and 80 lb
(36 kg) and upward to 100 lb
(45 kg) if recommended by your
child restraint manufacturer).

Children who have outgrown or
no longer properly fit in a
belt-positioning booster seat
(generally children who are at
least 4 ft. 9 in. (1.45 m) tall or
greater than 80 lb (36 kg) or
100 lb (45 kg) if recommended by
child restraint manufacturer).

Recommended
restraint type

Use a child safety seat
(sometimes called an
infant carrier,
convertible seat, or
toddler seat).

Use a belt-positioning
booster seat.

Use a vehicle safety belt
having the lap belt snug
and low across the hips,
shoulder belt centered
across the shoulder and
chest, and seat back
upright.

Child Safety 19

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.

Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag.
If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the
vehicle seat upon which the child seat is installed all the way back.
When possible, all children age 12 and under should be properly
restrained in a rear seating position. If all children cannot be seated
and restrained properly in a rear seating position, properly restrain the
largest child in the front seat.

WARNING: Always carefully follow the instructions and

warnings provided by the manufacturer of any child restraint to
determine if the restraint device is appropriate for your child’s size,
height, weight, or age. Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings provided for installation and use in
conjunction with the instructions and warnings provided by your
vehicle manufacturer. A safety seat that is improperly installed or
utilized, is inappropriate for your child’s height, age or weight, or does
not properly fit the child, may increase the risk of serious injury or
death.

WARNING: Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap

while your vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the
child from injury in a crash, which may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING: Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child.

They can slide around and increase the likelihood of injury or
death in a crash.

WARNING: Always restrain an unoccupied child seat or booster

seat. These objects may become projectiles in a crash or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of serious injury.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

20 Child Safety

WARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder

belt under a child’s arm or behind the back because it reduces
the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk
of injury or death in a crash.

WARNING: To avoid risk of injury, do not leave children or pets

unattended in your vehicle.

Child Safety 21

BOOSTER SEATS

WARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder

belt under a child’s arm or behind the back because it reduces
the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk
of injury or death in a crash.

Use a belt-positioning booster seat for children who have outgrown or no
longer properly fit in a child safety seat (generally children who are less
than 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall, are greater than age four (4) and
less than age twelve (12), and between 40 pounds (18 kilograms) and
80 pounds (36 kilograms) and upward to 100 pounds (45 kilograms) if
recommended by your child restraint manufacturer). Many state and
provincial laws require that children use approved booster seats until
they reach age eight (8), a height of 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall,
or 80 pounds (36 kilograms).

Booster seats should be used until you can answer YES to ALL of these
questions when the child is seated without a booster seat.

• Can the child sit all the way
back against their vehicle seat
with knees bent comfortably at
the edge of the seat cushion?

• Can the child sit without
slouching?

• Does the lap belt rest low across the hips?

• Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and chest?

• Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?

Always use booster seats in conjunction with your vehicle lap and
shoulder belt.

22 Child Safety

Types of Booster Seats

• Backless booster seats

If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield.
If a vehicle seating position has a low seat back or no head restraint, a
backless booster seat may place your child’s head (as measured at the
tops of the ears) above the top of the seat. In this case, move the
backless booster to another seating position with a higher seat back or
head restraint and lap and shoulder belts, or consider using a high back
booster seat.

• High back booster seats

If, with a backless booster seat, you cannot find a seating position that
adequately supports your child’s head, a high back booster seat would be
a better choice.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

Child Safety 23

Children and booster seats vary in size and shape. Choose a booster that
keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the
stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest
snugly near the center of the shoulder. The following drawings compare
the ideal fit (center) to a shoulder belt uncomfortably close to the neck
and a shoulder belt that could slip off the shoulder. The drawings also
show how the lap belt should be low and snug across the child’s hips.

If the booster seat slides on the vehicle seat upon which it is being used,
placing a rubberized mesh sold as shelf or carpet liner under the booster
seat may improve this condition. Do not introduce any item thicker than
this under the booster seat. Check with the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions.

24 Child Safety

INSTALLING CHILD SEATS

Child Seats

Use a child safety seat (sometimes
called an infant carrier, convertible
seat, or toddler seat) for infants,
toddlers or children weighing
40 pounds (18 kilograms) or less
(generally age four or younger).

Using Lap and Shoulder Belts

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.

Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag.
If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the
seat upon which the child seat is installed all the way back.

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.

Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in the rear
seat whenever possible.

WARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint,

and depending on the child restraint design, you may block
access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies or LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able
to be properly restrained.

When installing a child safety seat with combination lap/shoulder belts:

• Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position.
Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap and

•

feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle.

• Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety
seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button,
to prevent accidental unbuckling.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

Child Safety 25

• Place the vehicle seat upon which the child seat will be installed in
the upright position.

• Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode. See Step 5.
This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.

Perform the following steps when installing the child seat with
combination lap and shoulder belts:

Note: Although the child seat illustrated is a forward facing child seat,
the steps are the same for installing a rear facing child seat.

1. Position the child safety seat in
a seat with a combination lap and
shoulder belt.

2. Pull down on the shoulder belt
and then grasp the shoulder belt
and lap belt together.

3. While holding the shoulder and
lap belt portions together, route the
tongue through the child seat
according to the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure
the belt webbing is not twisted.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

26 Child Safety

4. Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle (the buckle closest to
the direction the tongue is coming
from) for that seating position until
you hear a snap and feel the latch
engage. Make sure the tongue is
latched securely by pulling on it.

5. To put the retractor in the
automatic locking mode, grasp the
shoulder portion of the belt and
pull downward until all of the belt
is pulled out.

Note: The automatic locking mode is available on the front passenger
and rear seats. This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.

6. Allow the belt to retract to remove slack. The belt will click as it
retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.

7. Try to pull the belt out of the retractor to make sure the retractor is
in the automatic locking mode (you should not be able to pull more belt
out). If the retractor is not locked, unbuckle the belt and repeat Steps 5
and 6.

8. Remove remaining slack from the
belt. Force the seat down with extra
weight, for example, by pressing
down or kneeling on the child
restraint while pulling up on the
shoulder belt in order to force slack
from the belt.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

Child Safety 27

This is necessary to remove the remaining slack that will exist once the
extra weight of the child is added to the child restraint. It also helps to
achieve the proper snugness of the child seat to your vehicle.
Sometimes, a slight lean toward the buckle will provide extra help to
remove remaining slack from the belt.

9. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat is equipped). See Using

Tether Straps in this chapter.

10. Before placing the child in the
seat, forcibly move the seat forward
and back to make sure the seat is
securely held in place.

To check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it
side to side and forward and back. There should be no more than 1 inch
(2.5 centimeters) of movement for proper installation.

Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger
Safety Technician to make certain the child restraint is properly installed.
In Canada, check with your local St. John Ambulance office for referral
to a Child Passenger Safety Technician.

Using Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)

WARNING: Never attach two child safety seats to the same

anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold
two child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury
or death.

The LATCH system is composed of three vehicle anchor points: two
lower anchors located where the vehicle seat back and seat cushion meet
(called the seat bight) and one top tether anchor located behind that
seating position.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

28 Child Safety

LATCH compatible child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted
attachments that connect to the two lower anchors at the LATCH
equipped seating positions in your vehicle. This type of attachment
method eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach the child seat,
however the safety belt can still be used to attach the child seat. For
forward-facing child seats, the top tether strap must also be attached to
the proper top tether anchor, if a top tether strap has been provided
with your child seat. Ford Motor Company recommends the use of a
child safety seat having a top tether strap. See Using Tether Straps in
this chapter.

Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors for child seat installation at the
seating positions marked with the child seat symbol.

The LATCH anchors are located at the rear section of the rear seat
between the cushion and seat back, below the locator symbols on the
seat back. Follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions to properly
install a child seat with LATCH attachments.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

Child Safety 29

The locator symbols are on round plastic buttons for the center seat and
on rectangular tags for the outboard seats.

Follow the instructions on attaching child safety seats with tether straps.
See Using Tether Straps in this chapter.

Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the anchors
shown.

Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly
attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor, if applicable. Tug the
child seat from side to side and forward and back where it is secured to
the vehicle. The seat should move less than one inch when you do this
for a proper installation.

If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a crash greatly increases.

Combining Safety Belt and LATCH Lower Anchors for Attaching Child Safety Seats

When used in combination, either the safety belt or the LATCH lower
anchors may be attached first, provided a proper installation is achieved.
Attach the tether strap afterward, if included with the child seat.

Using Tether Straps

Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap
which extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks
to an anchoring point called the top tether anchor.

Tether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats.
Contact the manufacturer of your child seat for information about
ordering a tether strap, or to obtain a longer tether strap if the tether
strap on your safety seat does not reach the appropriate top tether
anchor in the vehicle.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

30 Child Safety

Some of the rear seats of your vehicle are equipped with built-in tether
strap anchors located behind the seats as described below.

In the third row center seating position, the tether anchor is a loop at
the bottom of the seat back.

The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions
(shown from top view).

• Second row bench seat

• Second row bucket seats

Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown.
The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other
than the correct tether anchor.

Once the child safety seat has been installed using either the safety belt,
the lower anchors of the LATCH system, or both, you can attach the top
tether strap.

If you install a child seat with rigid LATCH attachments, and have
attached the top tether strap to the proper top tether anchor, do not
tighten the tether strap enough to lift the child seat off the vehicle seat
cushion when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug
without lifting the front of the child seat. Keeping the child seat just
touching the vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash.

Child Safety 31

Perform the following steps to install a child safety seat with tether
anchors:

Second row seating positions

1. For center seating positions, route the child safety seat tether strap
over the back of the seat.

For outboard seating positions, route the tether strap under the head
restraint and between the head restraint posts. If the top of the safety
seat hits the head restraint, recline the seat back slightly to obtain
proper fit.

2. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position.

• Second row outboard seating
positions

• Second row center seating
position (if equipped)

34 Child Safety

3. Clip the tether strap through the anchor loop as shown. If the tether
strap is clipped incorrectly, the child safety seat may not be retained
properly in the event of a crash.

4. Tighten the child safety seat
tether strap according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. If the
safety seat is not anchored properly,
the risk of a child being injured in a
crash greatly increases.

If your child restraint system is equipped with a tether strap, and the
child restraint manufacturer recommends its use, Ford also recommends
its use.

36 Safety Belts

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seat back upright
and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit
where they can be properly restrained.

WARNING: Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap
while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the

child from injury in a crash.

WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver,

should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an
airbag supplemental restraint system is provided. Failure to properly
wear your safety belt could seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.

WARNING: It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area,

inside or outside of a vehicle. In a crash, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow
people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a safety belt properly.

WARNING: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is

significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a safety
belt.

WARNING: Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific

safety belt assembly which is made up of one buckle and one
tongue that are designed to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt
on the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the
arm. 2) Never swing the safety belt around your neck over the inside
shoulder. 3) Never use a single belt for more than one person.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

Safety Belts 37

WARNING: When possible, all children 12 years old and under
should be properly restrained in a rear seating position. Failure

to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.

WARNING: Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle

that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a
small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.

WARNING: Front and rear seat occupants, including pregnant

women, should wear safety belts for optimum protection in an
accident.

All seating positions in this vehicle have lap and shoulder safety belts.
All occupants of the vehicle should always properly wear their safety
belts, even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided.

The safety belt system consists of:

• Lap and shoulder safety belts.

• Shoulder safety belt with automatic locking mode, (except driver

safety belt).

• Height adjuster at the front outboard seating positions.

• Safety belt pretensioner at the front outboard seating positions.

• Safety belt warning light and chime. See Safety Belt

Warning Light and Indicator Chime later in this chapter.

• Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator in the
Supplemental Restraints System chapter.

The safety belt pretensioners are designed to activate in frontal,
near-frontal and side crashes, and in rollovers. The safety belt
pretensioners at the front seating positions are designed to tighten the
safety belts firmly against the occupant’s body when activated. This helps
increase the effectiveness of the safety belts. In frontal crashes, the
safety belt pretensioners can be activated alone or, if the crash is of
sufficient severity, together with the front airbags.

2014 Navigator (nav)

38 Safety Belts

FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS

The front outboard and rear safety restraints in your vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts.

1. Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle (the buckle closest to
the direction the tongue is coming
from) until you hear a snap and feel
it latch. Make sure the tongue is
securely fastened in the buckle.

2. To unfasten, press the release
button and remove the tongue from
the buckle.

Using Safety Belts During Pregnancy

WARNING: Always ride and drive with your seatback upright

and the safety belt properly fastened. The lap portion of the
safety belt should fit snug and be positioned low across the hips.
The shoulder portion of the safety belt should be positioned across the
chest. Pregnant women should also follow this practice. See the
following figure.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

Safety Belts 39

Pregnant women should always
wear their safety belts. 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 Locking Modes

WARNING: After any vehicle crash, the safety belt system at all

passenger seating positions must be checked by an authorized
dealer to verify that the automatic locking retractor feature for child
seats is still functioning properly. In addition, all safety belts should be
checked for proper function.

WARNING: The belt and retractor assembly must be replaced if

the safety belt assembly automatic locking retractor feature or
any other safety belt function is not operating properly when checked
by an authorized dealer. Failure to replace the belt and retractor
assembly could increase the risk of injury in crashes.

All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder
belts. The driver safety belt has the first type of locking mode. The front
outboard passenger and rear seat safety belts have both types of locking
modes described as follows:

Vehicle Sensitive Mode

This is the normal retractor mode, which allows free shoulder belt length
adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle
movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of about 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce forward
movement of the driver and passengers.

In addition, the retractor is designed to lock if the webbing is pulled out
too quickly. If this occurs, let the belt retract slightly and pull webbing
out again in a slow and controlled manner.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

40 Safety Belts

Automatic Locking Mode

In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic
locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.

When to Use the Automatic Locking Mode

This mode should be used any time a child safety seat, except a booster,
is installed in passenger front or rear seating positions. Children 12 years
old and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position
whenever possible. See the Child Safety chapter.

How to Use the Automatic Locking Mode

1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder
belt.

2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull
downward until the entire belt is pulled out.

3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt
retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
This indicates the safety belt is now in the
automatic locking mode.

How to Disengage the Automatic Locking Mode

Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

Safety Belt Extension Assembly

WARNING: Do not use extensions to change the fit of the
shoulder belt across the torso.

If the safety belt is too short when fully extended, you can obtain a
safety belt extension assembly from an authorized dealer.

Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety
belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on
the label or on the retractor behind the trim. Also, use the safety belt
extension only if the safety belt is too short for you when fully extended.

CHILD RESTRAINT AND SAFETY BELT MAINTENANCE

Inspect the vehicle safety belts and child safety seat systems periodically
to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Inspect the
vehicle and child seat safety belts to make sure there are no nicks,
tears or cuts. Replace if necessary. All vehicle safety belt assemblies,
including retractors, buckles, front safety belt buckle assemblies, buckle
support assemblies (slide bar-if equipped), shoulder belt height adjusters
(if equipped), shoulder belt guide on seat back (if equipped), child
safety seat LATCH and tether anchors, and attaching hardware, should
be inspected after a crash. Read the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for additional inspection and maintenance information
specific to the child restraint.

Ford Motor Company recommends that all safety belt assemblies in use
in vehicles involved in a crash be replaced. However, if the crash was
minor and an authorized dealer finds that the belts do not show damage
and continue to operate properly, they do not need to be replaced.
Safety belt assemblies not in use during a crash should also be inspected
and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.

For proper care of soiled safety belts, see Cleaning the Interior in the
Vehicle Care chapter.

46 Supplementary Restraints System

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

WARNING: Airbags do not inflate slowly or gently, and the risk
of injury from a deploying airbag is the greatest close to the trim

covering the airbag module.

WARNING: All occupants of your vehicle, including the driver,

should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an
airbag supplemental restraint system is provided. Failure to properly
wear your safety belt could seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.

Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back
seat and always properly use appropriate child restraints.

WARNING: Never place your arm over the airbag module, as a

deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other
injuries.

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.

Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag.
If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the
seat upon which the child seat is installed all the way back.

WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the

airbag supplemental restraint systems or its fuses as you could be
seriously injured or killed. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.

WARNING: Several airbag system components get hot after

inflation. Do not touch them after inflation as this may result in
serious injury.

Supplementary Restraints System 47

WARNING:

again and must be replaced immediately. If the airbag is not

replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a crash.

The airbags are a supplemental restraint system and are designed to
work with the safety belts to help protect the driver and right front
passenger from certain upper body injuries. Airbags do not inflate slowly;
there is a risk of injury from a deploying airbag.

Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a cloud of harmless powdery
residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal.

The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After airbag
deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or
smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum
powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (for example,
baking soda) that result from the combustion process that inflates the
airbag. Small amounts of sodium hydroxide may be present which may
irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the residue is toxic.

While the system is designed to help reduce serious injuries, contact
with a deploying airbag may also cause abrasions or swelling. Temporary
hearing loss is also a possibility as a result of the noise associated with
a deploying airbag. Because airbags must inflate rapidly and with
considerable force, there is the risk of death or serious injuries, such as
fractures, facial and eye injuries or internal injuries, particularly to
occupants who are not properly restrained or are otherwise out of
position at the time of airbag deployment. Thus, it is extremely
important that occupants be properly restrained as far away from the
airbag module as possible while maintaining vehicle control.

Routine maintenance of the airbags is not required.

If the airbag has deployed, the airbag will not function

RESTRAINT SAFETY SYSTEM

The Restraint Safety System provides an improved overall level of frontal
crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help further
reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries. The system is able to analyze
different occupant conditions and crash severity before activating the
appropriate safety devices to help better protect a range of occupants in
a variety of frontal crash situations.

retractors (first row only), and safety belt usage sensors.

• Driver’s seat position sensor.

• Front crash severity sensors.

• Restraints control module with impact and safing sensors.

• Restraint system warning light and backup tone.

• The electrical wiring for the airbags, crash sensor(s), safety belt

pretensioners, front safety belt usage sensors, driver seat position
sensor, and indicator lights.

How does the Restraint Safety System work?

The Restraint Safety System can adapt the deployment strategy of
your vehicle’s safety devices according to crash severity and occupant
conditions. A collection of crash and occupant sensors provides
information to the restraints control module. During a crash, the
restraints control module may activate the safety belt pretensioners
and/or either one or both stages of the dual-stage airbag supplemental
restraints based on crash severity and occupant conditions.

SOS POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM™

The system flashes the turn signal lamps and sounds the horn
(intermittently) in the event of a serious impact that deploys an airbag
equipped on your vehicle, such as front, side, side curtain or Safety
Canopy.

The horn and lamps will turn off when:

• You press the hazard control button.

• You press the panic button (if equipped) on the remote entry

transmitter.

• Your vehicle runs out of power.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS

WARNING: Never place your arm or any objects over an airbag

module. Placing your arm over a deploying airbag can result in
serious arm fractures or other injuries. Objects placed on or over the
airbag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the
airbag into your face and torso causing serious injury.

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.

Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag.
If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the
seat upon which the child seat is installed all the way back.

The driver and front passenger
airbags will deploy during significant
frontal and near frontal crashes.

The driver and passenger front airbag system consists of:

• Driver and passenger airbag modules.

• Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness

indicator. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator later in
this chapter.

50 Supplementary Restraints System

Proper Driver and Front Passenger Seating Adjustment

WARNING: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 inches
(25 centimeters) between an occupant’s chest and the driver airbag
module. Failure to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury
or death.

To properly position yourself away from the airbag:

• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.

Recline the seat slightly (one or two degrees) from the upright position.

•

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on safety belts,
it is very important that they continue to sit properly. Properly seated
occupants sit upright, lean against the seat back, and center themselves
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.

Children and Airbags

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.

Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag.
If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the
seat upon which the child seat is installed all the way back.

Children must always be properly
restrained. Accident statistics
suggest that children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front
seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the
risk of injury in a crash.

Supplementary Restraints System 51

SIDE AIRBAGS

WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near

the airbag cover, on the side of the seat backs (of the front
seats), or in front seat areas that may come into contact with a
deploying airbag. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the
risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.

WARNING: Do not use accessory seat covers. The use of

accessory seat covers may prevent the deployment of the side
airbags and increase the risk of injury in an accident.

WARNING: Do not lean your head on the door. The side airbag

could injure you as it deploys from the side of the seat back.

WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the

airbag, its fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an airbag,
as you could be seriously injured or killed. Contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING: If the side airbag has deployed, the airbag will not

function again. The side airbag system (including the seat) must
be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer. If the airbag is not
replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a crash.

The side airbags are located on the outboard side of the seat backs of
the front seats. In certain sideways crashes, the airbag on the side
affected by the crash will be inflated. The airbag was designed to inflate
between the door panel and occupant to further enhance the protection
provided occupants in side impact crashes.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014

52 Supplementary Restraints System

The system consists of the
following:

• A label or embossed side panel
indicating that side airbags are
found on your vehicle.

• Side airbags located inside the
seat back of the driver and front
passenger seats.

• Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator later in
this chapter.

The design and development of the side airbag system included
recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of side airbags.

SAFETY CANOPY® CURTAIN AIRBAGS

WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near

the headliner at the siderail that may come into contact with a
deploying curtain airbag. Failure to follow these instructions may
increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.

WARNING: Do not lean your head on the door. The curtain

airbag could injure you as it deploys from the headliner.

WARNING:

curtain airbags, its fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the headliner
on a vehicle containing curtain airbags, as you could be seriously injured
or killed. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the

Supplementary Restraints System 53

WARNING:

should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system and curtain airbag is provided. Failure to
properly wear your safety belt could seriously increase the risk of injury
or death.

WARNING: To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place

objects in the deployment path of the curtain airbag.

WARNING: If the curtain airbags have deployed, the curtain

airbags will not function again. The curtain airbags (including the
A, B and C pillar trim and headliner) must be inspected and serviced
by an authorized dealer. If the curtain airbag is not replaced, the
unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a crash.

The Safety Canopy will deploy during significant side crashes or when a
certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor.
The Safety Canopy is mounted to the roof side-rail sheet metal, behind
the headliner, above each row of seats. In certain sideways crashes or
rollover events, the Safety Canopy will be activated, regardless of which
seats are occupied. The Safety Canopy is designed to inflate between the
side window area and occupants to further enhance protection provided
in side impact crashes and rollover events.

All occupants of your vehicle including the driver

The system consists of:

• Safety canopy curtain airbags
located above the trim panels
over the front and rear side
windows identified by wording
on the B-pillar trim.

• A flexible headliner which opens above the side doors to allow air
curtain deployment.

•

Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness indicator.
See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator in this chapter.

2014 Navigator (nav)
Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, February 2014
USA (fus)

54 Supplementary Restraints System

Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in
the rear seats. The Safety Canopy will not interfere with children
restrained using a properly installed child or booster seat because it is
designed to inflate downward from the headliner above the doors along
the side window opening.

The design and development of the Safety Canopy included recommended
testing procedures that were developed by a group of automotive safety
experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working Group. These
recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of injuries related
to the deployment of side airbags (including the Safety Canopy).

CRASH SENSORS AND AIRBAG INDICATOR

WARNING: Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of

your vehicle (including frame, bumper, front end body structure
and tow hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of your
vehicle.

Your vehicle has a collection of crash and occupant sensors which
provide information to the restraints control module. The restraints
control module deploys (activates) the front safety belt pretensioners,
driver airbag, passenger airbag, seat mounted side airbags, and the
Safety Canopy. Based on the type of accident (frontal impact, side
impact or rollover) the restraints control module will deploy the
appropriate safety devices.

The restraints control module also monitors the readiness of the above
safety devices plus the crash and occupant sensors. The readiness of the
safety system is indicated by a warning indicator light in the instrument
cluster or by a backup tone if the warning light is not working. See the
Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the airbag is not
required.

A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:

• The readiness light will either flash or stay lit.

• The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after the

ignition is turned on.

• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem or light are repaired.

2014 Navigator (nav)

Supplementary Restraints System 55

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless
serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a crash.

The safety belt pretensioners and the airbag supplemental restraint
system are designed to activate when the vehicle sustains frontal or
sideways deceleration sufficient to cause the restraints control module to
deploy a safety device or when a certain likelihood of a rollover event is
detected by the rollover sensor.

The fact that the safety belt pretensioners or airbags did not activate for
both front seat occupants in a crash does not mean that something is
wrong with the system. Rather, it means the restraints control module
determined the accident conditions (for example, crash severity, belt
usage) were not appropriate to activate these safety devices.

• The design of the front airbags is to activate only in frontal and
near-frontal crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or rear impacts)
unless the crash causes sufficient frontal deceleration.

• The design of the safety belt pretensioners is to activate in frontal,
near-frontal and side crashes, and in rollovers.

• The design of the side airbags is to inflate in certain side impact
crashes. Side airbags may activate in other types of crashes if the
vehicle experiences sufficient sideways motion or deformation.

• The design of the Safety Canopy is to inflate in certain side impact
crashes or rollover events. The Safety Canopy may activate in other
types of crashes if the vehicle experiences sufficient sideways motion
or deformation, or a certain likelihood of rollover.

AIRBAG DISPOSAL

Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Airbags must be
disposed of by qualified personnel.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

MyKey allows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to
promote good driving habits. You can use all but one of the keys
programmed to your vehicle with these restricted modes.

Any keys that have not been programmed are referred to as
administrator keys or admin keys. These can be used to:

• create a restricted key

• program optional MyKey settings

• clear all MyKey features.

When you have programmed a MyKey, you can access the following
information using the information display:

• The number of admin keys and MyKeys are programmed to your
vehicle.

• The total distance your vehicle has traveled using a MyKey.

Note: Switch the ignition on to use the system.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the same settings. You cannot

program them individually.

Non-configurable Settings

The following settings cannot be changed by an admin key user:

• Belt-Minder. You cannot disable this feature. The audio system will

mute when the front seat occupants’ safety belts are not fastened.

• Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning activates earlier, giving the

MyKey user more time to refuel.

• Driver assist features, if equipped on your vehicle, are forced on:

parking aid, blind spot information system (BLIS) with cross traffic
alert, lane departure warning and the forward collision warning
system.

Configurable Settings

With an admin key, you can configure certain MyKey settings when you
first create a MyKey and before you recycle the key or restart the
vehicle. You can also change the settings afterward with an admin key.

USING MYKEY WITH REMOTE START SYSTEMS

MyKey is not compatible with non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start systems. If you choose to install a remote start system, please see
your Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved remote start system.

Vehicles With Ford-approved Aftermarket Remote Start Systems

When using a Ford-approved aftermarket remote start system, the
vehicle recognizes the remote start system as an additional admin key.
It is the vehicle’s default setting. You can also program the remote start
as a MyKey. As a result, the MyKey system status menu display includes
the remote start system as an additional key in the total count of
MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED or ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED.
See Checking MyKey System Status.

When you start your vehicle with a Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start system, the system stalls the vehicle after you open the door or
shift the vehicle into gear. This is intentional. When you restart your
vehicle, it reads your real key’s status instead of the remote start
system’s status.

As an added precaution, owners may want to program the remote start
system as a MyKey, if the MyKey driver uses the remote start fob.
That way, when the MyKey driver starts the vehicle with the remote
start system, the MyKey restrictions remain active.

With a Ford-approved aftermarket remote start system, it is possible to
program all real keys as MyKeys unintentionally. If this happens, then the
remote start fob is the admin key. If you want to have only one real key
as a MyKey, or do not want to have any MyKeys, then you need to use
your remote start to clear all MyKeys. In that case, follow these steps:

• Enter the vehicle and close all doors.

• Remote start the vehicle using your remote start fob.

• See Clearing All MyKeys. Follow Steps 1-3.

After clearing your MyKeys, you can create a new MyKey. See Creating
a MyKey.

Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved system.

The following information may help customers who choose to install a
non-Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below do
not make MyKey compatible with non-Ford-approved remote start
systems, but may help you retain some MyKey functions.

When using a non-Ford-approved remote start system, the vehicle may
recognize the remote start system as an additional admin key with its
associated privileges. If you restart the vehicle by inserting a key into the
ignition cylinder and recycling the ignition completely, then you may
retain some MyKey functions. This action forces your vehicle to read the
traditional key instead of the remote start fob and then uses the key’s
associated privileges.

Note: The MyKey system status menu display may include the remote
start system as an additional key in the total count of MYKEY(S)

PROGRAMMED or ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED. See Checking
MyKey System Status.

As an added precaution, owners may want to program the remote start
system as a MyKey, if the MyKey driver uses the remote start fob. That
way, when the MyKey driver starts the vehicle with the remote start
system, the MyKey restrictions will be remain active.

With a non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote start system, it is possible to
program all real keys as MyKeys unintentionally. If this happens, then the
remote start fob is the admin key. If you want to have only one real key as

WARNING:

drawing exhaust fumes into your vehicle. This will also prevent
passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the liftgate
open, keep the vents or windows open so outside air comes into your
vehicle. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal
injury.

WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate

area before using the power liftgate control.

WARNING: Keep keys out of the reach of children. Do not allow

children to operate the power liftgate, or to play near to an open
or moving power liftgate.

Note: Cycling the ignition prior to completely latching the liftgate could
result in damage to the liftgate or its power components. Make sure the
liftgate is fully latched before operating the vehicle.

If the ignition is cycled during a liftgate power close cycle and the
liftgate is 6-10 inches (15-24 centimeters) from being latched, the liftgate
may reverse to the full open position. Verify that the liftgate is closed
before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure, like a
garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or it components could be
damaged in an enclosure, if the liftgate is open.

When power operating the liftgate at temperatures below 32°F (0°C),
the liftgate may stop about 5 inches (13 centimeters) from the full open
position. The liftgate can be fully opened by pushing it upward to the
maximum open position.

Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate

Note: The liftgate can be reversed with a second press on a control
button or transmitter and can be manually closed at any time.

SECURILOCK® PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

Note: The system is not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote
start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting
problems and a loss of security protection.

Note: Metallic objects, electronic devices or a second coded key on the
same key chain may cause vehicle starting issues if they are too close to
the key when starting your vehicle. Prevent these objects from touching
the coded key while starting the engine. Switch the ignition off, move all
objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart your
vehicle if a problem occurs.

Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in your vehicle. Always take
your keys and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle.

The system helps prevent the engine from starting unless you use a
coded key programmed to your vehicle. Using the wrong key may
prevent your vehicle from starting. A message may appear in the
information display.

If you are unable to start your vehicle with a correctly coded key, a
malfunction has occurred. A message may appear in the information
display.
