2006 FORD EXPEDITION open hood

PANEL DIMMER CONTROL
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel and all applicable
switches in the vehicle during
headlamp and parklamp operation.
Move the control to the full upright
position, past detent, to turn on the
interior lamps.
Move the control to the full down
position, past detent, to prevent the interior lights from illuminating
when the doors are opened.
VERTICAL AIM ADJUSTMENT
1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters)
away.
•(1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)
•(2) Center height of lamp to
ground
•(3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)
•(4) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from the
center of your headlamp (indicated
by a 3.0 mm circle on the lens) to the ground and mark an 8 foot
(2.4 meter) horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen at this
height (a piece of masking tape works well).
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood. Cover one of the headlamps so no light hits the wall.
4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with a
distinct horizontal edge towards the
right. If this edge is not at the
horizontal reference line, the beam will need to be adjusted so the edge
is at the same height as the horizontal reference line.

Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in
the second or third row seats. The Safety Canopywill 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 Safety Canopysystem is designed to activate when the vehicle
sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the side crash sensor to
close an electrical circuit that initiates Safety Canopyinflation or when
a certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor.
The Safety Canopyis mounted to roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the
headliner, above the first and second row seats. In certain lateral collisions or
rollover events, the Safety Canopysystem will be activated, regardless of
which seats are occupied. The Safety Canopyis designed to inflate
between the side window area and occupants to further enhance protection
provided in side impact collisions and rollover events.
The fact that the Safety Canopydid not activate in a collision does not
mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces
were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. The Safety Canopyis
designed to inflate in certain side impact collisions or rollover events, not in
rear impact, frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes
sufficient lateral deceleration or rollover likelihood.
Several Safety Canopy
system components get hot
after inflation. Do not touch them
after inflation.
If the Safety Canopysystem has deployed,the Safety
Canopywill not function again unless replaced. The
Safety Canopysystem (including the A, B and C pillar trim)
must be inspected and serviced by a authorized dealer.If the
Safety Canopyis not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the
risk of injury in a collision.
