With the ON/OFF control in the OFF position, either sliding door can be
closed by pulling the inside or outside handle and sliding the door all the
way forward to the latched position manually.
Safety/Obstructions
If anything obstructs the Power Sliding Door while it is closing, the door
will automatically reverse to the open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.
Resetting the PSD
The power sliding door may operate incorrectly or not at all because of
the following condition:
²a low voltage or dead battery
²disconnecting the battery
²if the PSD fuse (fuse #6) is removed or blown. Refer toFuses and
relaysin theRoadside emergencieschapter.
If any of these conditions occur, reset the PSD by:
1. Check to see if power sliding door is unlocked and securely closed.
2. Make sure the gearshift is in (P) Park.
3. Push the power door control on the overhead console to open the
door.
4. Wait five (5) seconds and close the door by pressing the power door
control on the overhead console.
5. Wait five (5) seconds and repeat Steps 3 and 4 and go on to step 6.
6. Repeat steps 3±5 for opposite door.
If the door does not rest in the fully open position, repeat Steps 1±4
again. If the door still does not operate correctly:
7. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
8. Remove the PSD fuse (fuse #6) from the passenger fuse panel and
leave it out for thirty (30) seconds. Refer toFuses and relaysin the
Roadside emergencieschapter.
9. Reinstall the fuse and wait ten (10) seconds.
10. Repeat steps 1±6 above.
If the door still does not operate correctly, see your dealer for service.

Do not put anything on or over the air bag module. Placing
objects on or over the air bag inflation area may cause those
objects to be propelled by the air bag into your face and torso causing
serious injury.
Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the air bag
supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. See your Ford or
Lincoln Mercury dealer.
Modifications to the front end of the vehicle, including frame,
bumper, front end body structure and tow hooks may affect the
performance of the air bag sensors increasing the risk of injury. Do not
modify the front end of the vehicle.
Children and air bags
For additional important safety
information, read all information on
safety restraints in this guide.
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 collision.
Air bags can kill or injure a
child in a child seat.
NEVERplace a rear-facing child
seat in front of an active air bag. If
you must use a forward-facing
child seat in the front seat, move
the seat all the way back.

²a readiness light and tone.
²diagnostic module.
²and the electrical wiring which connects the components.
The diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits and the
supplemental air bag electrical system warning (including the impact
sensors), the system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the air
bag back up power and the air bag ignitors.
Side air bag system (if equipped)
Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag
cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or in front
seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying air bag. Failure
to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision.
Do not use accessory seat covers. The use of accessory seat
covers may prevent the deployment of the side air bags and
increase the risk of injury in an accident.
Do not lean your head on the door. The side air bag could injure
you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.
Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the air bag
supplemental restraint system, its fuses or the seat cover on a
seat containing an air bag. See your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.
All occupants of the vehicle including the driver should always
wear their safety belts even when an air bag SRS is provided.

²Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level
(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).
If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned
off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.
If the steering wanders or pulls, the condition could be caused by any of
the following:
²underinflated tire(s) on any wheel(s)
²uneven vehicle loading
²high crown in center of road
²high crosswinds
²wheels out of alignment
²loose or worn suspension components
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OPERATION
Brake-shift interlock
This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents
the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) unless the brake
pedal is depressed.
If the gearshift lever cannot be moved from P (Park) with the brake
pedal depressed, it is possible that a fuse has blown or the vehicle's
brakelamps are not operating properly. Refer toFuses and relaysin the
Roadside emergencieschapter.
Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the brakelamps
are working.
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow it may be rocked out by
shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts, in a
steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating
temperature or damage to the transaxle may occur.
Do not rock the vehicle for more than a few minutes or damage
to the transaxle and tires may occur or the engine may overheat.

FUSES AND RELAYS
Fuses
If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.
Note:Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire
damage and could start a fire.

The fuse panel is located below and to the left of the steering wheel by
the brake pedal. Remove the panel cover to access the fuses.
To remove a fuse use the fuse puller tool provided on the fuse panel
cover.
Your vehicle is equipped with a Pull Fuse feature that when used, can
extend the duration of your battery life while your vehicle is parked for
long periods of time. This time will be increased from 31 days to 45 ± 55
days (based on option content). You should use this feature when your
vehicle will be parked for long periods of times to ensure the vehicle
starts upon your return.
The pull fuse is located under the instrument panel and is visible from
the exterior of the fuse panel cover.
The fuse holder is designed to allow you to pull the fuse (#6) from the
fuse panel circuit without having to completely remove it from the fuse
panel. The fuse and fuse holder will remain in the fuse panel.
If the fuse (#6) must be replaced, the fuse and fuse holder can be
removed by pulling it completely out from the fuse panel cover.
With the fuse (#6) removed, the following systems will not be functional:
²radio
²power sliding door(s) ± (if equipped)
²keyless entry system± (if equipped)
When the pull fuse is reinstalled, the following features will need to be
reset.
²radio pre-sets
²power sliding door(s) ± (if equipped)
