3. Clip the tether strap to the
anchor as shown.
If the tether strap is clipped
incorrectly, the child safety seat
may not be retained properly in the
event of a collision.
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 collision 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.
CHILD SAFETY LOCKS
When these locks are set, the rear doors cannot be opened from the
inside.
The childproof locks are located on
the rear edge of each rear door and
must be set separately for each
door.
•Driver side: turn
counterclockwise to lock and
clockwise to unlock.
•Passenger side: turn clockwise to
lock and counterclockwise to
unlock.

WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle including the driver
should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS
and side curtain airbag is provided.
WARNING:To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place
objects in the deployment path of the side curtain airbag.
WARNING:If the side curtain airbags have deployed,the side
curtain airbags will not function again. The side curtain
airbags (including the A, B and C pillar trim and headliner)
must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer.If the
side curtain airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the
risk of injury in a collision.
A side curtain airbag will deploy during significant side collisions. The
side curtain airbags are mounted to the roof side-rail sheet metal, behind
the headliner, above each row of seats. In certain lateral collisions, the
side curtain airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle will be activated.
The side curtain airbags are designed to inflate between the side window
area and occupants to further enhance protection provided in side
impact collisions.
The system consists of the
following:
•Side curtain airbags located
above the trim panels over the
front and rear side windows
identified by a label or wording
on the headliner or roof-pillar
trim.
•A flexible headliner which opens above the side doors to allow side air
curtain deployment.
•Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. Refer toCrash sensors and Airbag Indicator
later in this chapter.

INTERIOR MIRROR
WARNING:Do not adjust the mirror when your vehicle is
moving.
Note:Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum or ammonia based cleaning products.
You can adjust the interior mirror to your preference. Some mirrors also
have a second pivot point. This lets you move the mirror head up or
down and from side to side.
Pull the tab below the mirror toward you to reduce glare at night.
SUN VISORS
Illuminated Visor Vanity Mirror (If Equipped)
Lift the cover to switch on the
lamp.
MOONROOF (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Do not let children play with the moonroof or leave
them unattended in the vehicle. They may seriously hurt
themselves.
WARNING:When closing the moonroof, you should verify that it
is free of obstructions and ensure that children and/or pets are
not in the proximity of the moon roof opening.
The sunscreen can be manually opened or closed when the glass panel is
closed.
The moonroof has a one-touch open and close feature. To stop motion
during one-touch operation, press the control a second time.

The moonroof control is located on the
overhead console.
Opening and Closing the Moonroof
Press and release the rear of the control to open the moonroof. If the
sliding shade is closed, it will open along with the moonroof. The
moonroof will stop short of the fully opened position.
Note:This position helps to reduce rumbling wind noise which may
happen with the moonroof fully open. Press and release the control again
to fully open the moonroof.
Press and release the front of the control to close the moonroof.
Bounce-Back
The moonroof will stop automatically while closing and reverse some
distance if there is an obstacle detected while closing.
Press and hold the front of the control within two seconds of a
bounce-back event to override the function. While bounce-back is active,
the closing force increases for each of the next three time the moonroof
is closed.
Venting the Moonroof
Press and release the front of the control while the moonroof is closed.
Press and hold the rear of the control to close the moonroof.
Relearning Function
In case the moonroof does not close properly, follow this procedure:
1. Tilt the moonroof into the vent position as far as possible. Release the
switch.
2. Press and hold the same switch again for 30 seconds until you see the
moonroof move.
3. Release the switch and immediately press and hold it again. The
moonroof will close, open fully and then close again. Do not release the
switch before the moonroof has reached the closed position for the
second time.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
WARNING:Vehicle modifications involving braking system,
aftermarket roof racks, suspension, steering system, tire
construction and/or wheel/tire size may change the handling
characteristics of the vehicle and may adversely affect the performance
of the AdvanceTracsystem. In addition, installing any stereo
loudspeakers may interfere with and adversely affect the AdvanceTrac
system. Install any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker as far as possible
from the front center console, the tunnel, and the front seats in order
to minimize the risk of interfering with the AdvanceTracsensors.
Reducing the effectiveness of the AdvanceTracsystem could lead to
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.
WARNING:Remember that even advanced technology cannot
defy the laws of physics. It is always possible to lose control of a
vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive
driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your
vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the AdvanceTracsystem is an indication that at least
some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this could
reduce the operator’s ability to control the vehicle potentially resulting
in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. If
your AdvanceTracsystem activates, SLOW DOWN.
The AdvanceTracsystem helps you keep control of your vehicle when
on a slippery surface. The electronic stability control (ESC) portion of
the system helps avoid skids and lateral slides and the traction control
system (TCS) helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction. (For
details on TCS operation, see theTraction Controlchapter.)

ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:This system is designed to be a supplementary park
aid. It may not work in all conditions and is not intended to
replace the driver’s attention and judgment. The driver is responsible
for avoiding hazards and maintaining a safe distance and speed, even
when the system is in use.
Note:The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening if required.
The system detects an available parallel parking space and automatically
steers the vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you control the
accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and/or audibly
instructs the driver to park the vehicle.
The system may not function correctly if something passes between the
front bumper and the parking space (i.e. a pedestrian or cyclist) or if the
edge of the neighboring parked vehicle is high from the ground (i.e. a
bus, tow truck or flatbed truck).
Note:The sensors may not detect objects in heavy rain or other
conditions that cause disruptive reflections.
Note:The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves.
The system should not be used if:
•a foreign object (i.e. bike rack or trailer) is attached to the front or
rear of the vehicle or at another location close to the sensors.
•an overhanging object (i.e. surfboard) is attached to the roof.
•the front bumper or side sensors are damaged (i.e. in a collision) or
obstructed by a foreign object (i.e. front bumper cover).
•a mini-spare tire is in use.
