2013 FORD C MAX child lock

All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder
belts. The driver safety belt has the first type of locking mode, and 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.
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 theChild Safetychapter.
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.

Power Liftgate (If Equipped)
WARNING:Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate control.
WARNING:Keep keys out of reach of children. Do not allow
children to play near an open or moving power liftgate.
Note:Cycling the ignition while the liftgate is power closing and is near
the latch may cause the liftgate to stop operation. Make sure 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 its
components could be damaged.
Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate
Note:The doors must be unlocked to operate the power liftgate.
Note:The liftgate movement direction can be stopped with a second
press of the instrument panel, or the control button on the liftgate, a
second double press of the transmitter button, or by using a kicking
motion with your foot for hands-free liftgates.
If the engine is running, the liftgate will only operate with the vehicle inP.
A chime sequence will sound as the liftgate begins to power close.
Another chime sequence indicates a problem with the close request,
caused by:
•the ignition is on and the transmission is not inP,or
•the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage, or
•the vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).
If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, four
short warning chimes indicate excessive load on the gate or a possible
strut failure. See your authorized dealer if you still have a fast chime
after the load is removed.
To open or close from the instrument panel:Press the
instrument panel button.
Note:The doors must be unlocked.
To open or close with the remote control:Press the remote
control button twice within three seconds.
