4±WAY HEAD RESTRAINTS (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle's seats may be equipped with four-way
adjustable head restraints. The purpose of these
head restraints is to help limit head motion in the
event of a rear collision. To properly adjust your
head restraints, lift the head restraint so that it is
located directly behind your head or as close to that
position as possible. Refer to the following to raise
and lower the head restraints.
The head restraints can
be moved in four
directions:
²up and down
²forward or backward
ENERGY MANAGEMENT FEATURE
²This vehicle has a seat belt system with an energy
management feature at the front outboard seating
positions to help further reduce the risk of injury
in the event of a head-on collision.
²This seat belt system has a retractor assembly
that is designed to pay out webbing in a
controlled manner. This feature is designed to
help reduce the belt force acting on the
occupant's chest.

After any vehicle collision, the seat belt
system at all outboard seating positions
(except driver, which has no ªautomatic locking
retractorº feature) must be checked by a qualified
technician to verify that the ªautomatic locking
retractorº feature for child seats is still functioning
properly. In addition, all seat belts should be
checked for proper function.
BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST
BE REPLACED if the seat belt assembly
ªautomatic locking retractorº feature or any other
seat belt function is not operating properly when
checked according to the procedures in Workshop
Manual.
Failure to replace the Belt and Retractor
assembly could increase the risk of injury in
collisions.

2Rear axle lubricants do not need to be checked or changed unless a
leak is suspected, service is required or the axle assembly has been
submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed any time
the rear axle has been submerged in water. Fill 6 mm to 14 mm (1/4
inch to 9/16 inch) below bottom of fill hole. Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of
Additive Friction Modifier C8AZ-19B546-A or equivalent meeting Ford
specification EST-M2C118±A for complete refill of Traction-Lok axles.
3Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used.
Transmission fluid requirements are indicated on the dipstick or on
the dipstick handle. MERCONtand MERCONtV are not
interchangeable. DO NOT mix MERCONtand MERCONtV. Refer to
your scheduled maintenance guide to determine the correct service
interval.
4Service refill capacity is determined by filling the transmission to the
bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle on a level surface.
OCTANE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your vehicle is designed
to use ªPremiumº
unleaded gasoline with
an (R+M)/2 octane
rating of 91 or higher for optimum performance. The
use of gasolines with lower octane ratings may
degrade performance. We do not recommend the
use of gasolines labeled as ªPremiumº in high
altitude areas that are sold with octane ratings of
less than 91.
If your engine knocks under most driving conditions
while you are using fuel with the recommended
octane rating, see your dealer or a qualified service
technician to prevent any engine damage.

CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT
Your engine's cooling system has been factory-filled
with a 50/50 mixture of distilled water and Ford
Premium Engine Coolant E2FZ-19549-AA (in
Canada, Motorcraft CXC-10), or an equivalent
premium engine coolant that meets Ford
specification ESE-M97B44-A.
A50/50 mixtureof distilled water and Ford
Premium Engine Coolantprovides:
²maximum cooling system efficiency.
²freeze protection down to -36É C (-34É F).
²boiling protection up to 129É C (265É F).
²protection against rust and other forms of
corrosion.
²an accurate temperature readout from the
engine coolant gauge.
The engine coolant must be maintained at the
correct fluid level and concentration to work
properly. If the engine coolant fluid level and
concentration is not maintained correctly,
damage to the engine and cooling system may
result.
When the engine is cold,
check the level of the
engine coolant in the
reservoir.
²The engine coolant should be at the ªcold fill
levelº as listed on the engine coolant reservoir.
²Refer to the scheduled maintenance guide for
service interval schedules.
²Be sure to read and understandPrecautions
when servicing your vehiclein this chapter.
