Introduction

Health Report, you consent that
certain diagnostic information may
also be accessed electronically by
Ford Motor Company and Ford
authorized service facilities, and that
the diagnostic information may be
used for any purpose. See MyLincoln
Touch™ (page 342).
Event Data Recording
This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder. The main
purpose of an event data recorder
is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle; this data will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The event
data recorder is designed to record
data related to vehicle dynamics
and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30
seconds or less.
The event data recorder in this
vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
• How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/ fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator
and/or the brake pedal; and
• How fast the vehicle was
travelling; and
• Where the driver was
positioning the steering wheel. This data can help provide a better
understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur.
Note:
Event data recorder data is
recorded by your vehicle only if a
non-trivial crash situation occurs; no
data is recorded by the event data
recorder under normal driving
conditions and no personal data or
information (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) is recorded (see
limitations regarding 911 Assist and
Traffic, directions and Information
privacy below). However, parties,
such as law enforcement, could
combine the event data recorder
data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an event
data recorder, special equipment
is required, and access to the
vehicle or the event data recorder
is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other
parties, such as law enforcement,
that have such special equipment,
can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the
event data recorder. Ford Motor
Company and Ford of Canada do
not access event data recorder
information without obtaining
consent, unless pursuant to court
order or where required by law
enforcement, other government

Introduction

authorities or other third parties
acting with lawful authority. Other
parties may seek to access the
information independently of Ford
Motor Company and Ford of
Canada.
Note:Including to the extent that
any law pertaining to Event Data
Recorders applies to SYNC or its
features, please note the following:
Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is
enabled (set ON), 911 Assist may,
through any paired and connected
cell phone, disclose to emergency
services that the vehicle has been in
a crash involving the deployment of
an airbag or, in certain vehicles, the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off.
Certain versions or updates to 911
Assist may also be capable of being
used to electronically or verbally
provide to 911 operators the vehicle
location (such as latitude and
longitude), and/or other details
about the vehicle or crash or
personal information about the
occupants to assist 911 operators to
provide the most appropriate
emergency services. If you do not
want to disclose this information, do
not activate the 911 Assist feature.
See MyLincoln Touch™ (page 342).
Additionally, when you connect to
Traffic, Directions and Information
(if equipped, U.S. only), the service
uses GPS technology and
advanced vehicle sensors to
collect the vehicle’s current
location, t ravel direction, and
speed (“vehicle travel
information”), only to help provide you with the directions, traffic
reports, or business searches that
you request. If you do not want
Ford or its vendors to receive this
information, do not activate the
service. Ford Motor Company and
the vendors it uses to provide you
with this information do not store
your vehicle travel information.
For more information, see Traffic,
Directions and Information, Terms
and Conditions.

Touch™ (page 342).

REPLACEMENT PARTS
RECOMMENDATION
Your vehicle has been built to the
highest standards using quality parts.
We recommend that you demand the
use of genuine Ford and Motorcraft
parts whenever your vehicle requires
scheduled maintenance or repair. You
can clearly identify genuine Ford and
Motorcraft parts by looking for the
Ford, FoMoCo or Motorcraft branding
on the parts or their packaging.
Scheduled Maintenance and
Mechanical Repairs
One of the best ways for you to make
sure that your vehicle provides years
of service is to have it maintained in
line with our recommendations using
parts that conform to the
specifications detailed in this Owner’s
Manual. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft
parts meet or exceed these
specifications.
Collision Repairs
We hope that you never experience a
collision, but accidents do happen.
Genuine Ford replacement collision
parts meet our stringent requirements
for fit, finish, structural integrity,
corrosion protection and dent
resistance. During vehicle
development we validate these parts
deliver the intended level of protection
as a whole system. A great way to
know for sure you are getting this level
of protection is to use genuine Ford
replacement collision parts.
Warranty on Replacement
Parts
Genuine Ford and Motorcraft
replacement parts are the only
replacement parts that benefit from
a Ford Warranty. Damage caused to
your vehicle as a result of the failure
of non-Ford parts may not be covered
by the Ford Warranty. For additional
information, refer to the terms and
conditions of the Ford Warranty.

Introduction

E142597
If the booster seat slides on the
vehicle seat upon which it is being
used, placing a rubberized mesh sold
as shelf or carpet liner under the
booster seat may improve this
condition. Do not introduce any item
thicker than this under the booster
seat. Check with the booster seat
manufacturer's instructions.
INSTALLING CHILD SEATS
Child Seats
E142594
Use a child safety seat (sometimes
called an infant carrier, convertible
seat, or toddler seat) for infants,
toddlers, or children weighing 40
pounds (18 kilograms) or less
(generally age four or younger).
Using Lap and Shoulder Belts
WARNINGS
Airbags can kill or injure a child
in a child seat. Never place a
rear-facing child seat in front of an
active airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child seat in the front
seat, move the seat upon which the
child seat is installed all the way back.
Airbags can kill or injure a child
in a child seat. Children 12 and
under should be properly restrained
in the rear seat whenever possible.

Child Safety

The Personal Safety System provides
an improved overall level of frontal
crash protection to front seat
occupants and is designed to help
further reduce the risk of
airbag-related injuries. The system is
able to analyze different occupant
conditions and crash severity before
activating the appropriate safety
devices to help better protect a range
of occupants in a variety of frontal
crash situations.
Your vehicle's Personal Safety System
consists of:
• Driver and passenger dual-stageairbag supplemental restraints.
• Front outboard safety belts with pretensioners, energy
management retractors (first row
only), and safety belt usage
sensors.
• Driver’s seat position sensor.
• Front passenger sensing system.
• Passenger airbag off and on indicator lamp.
• Front crash severity sensors.
• Restraints control module with impact and safing sensors.
• Restraint system warning light and backup tone.
• The electrical wiring for the airbags, crash sensor(s), safety
belt pretensioners, front safety belt
usage sensors, driver seat position
sensor, front passenger sensing
system, and indicator lights.How Does the Personal Safety
System Work?
The Personal Safety System can
adapt the deployment strategy of
your vehicle’s safety devices
according to crash severity and
occupant conditions. A collection of
crash and occupant sensors provides
information to the restraints control
module. During a crash, the restraints
control module may activate the
safety belt pretensioners and may
activate either one or both stages of
the dual-stage airbag supplemental
restraints based on crash severity and
occupant conditions.

Personal Safety System™

Proper Driver and Front
Passenger Seating Adjustment
WARNING
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA)
recommends a minimum distance of
at least 10 inches (25 centimeters)
between an occupant’s chest and the
driver airbag module.
To properly position yourself away
from the airbag:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
• Recline the seat slightly (one or two degrees) from the upright
position.
After all occupants have adjusted
their seats and put on safety belts, it
is very important that they continue
to sit properly. A properly seated
occupant sits upright, leaning against
the seat back, and centered on the
seat cushion, with their feet
comfortably extended on the floor.
Sitting improperly can increase the
chance of injury in a crash event. For
example, if an occupant slouches, lies
down, turns sideways, sits forward,
leans forward or sideways, or puts one
or both feet up, the chance of injury
during a crash is greatly increased.
Children and Airbags
WARNING
Airbags can kill or injure a child
in a child seat. Never place a
rear-facing child seat in front of an
active airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child seat in the front
seat, move the seat upon which the
child seat is installed all the way back.
E142846
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
crash.
KNEE AIRBAG
A driver’s and passenger’s knee airbag
is located under or within the
instrument panel. During a crash, the
restraints control module may
activate the driver’s and passenger’s
knee airbag (individually or both)
based on crash severity and
respective occupant conditions. Under
