•When the front passenger sensingsystem enables the front passengerfrontal airbag, the passenger airbagstatus indicator illuminates the onlamp.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the frontpassenger seat, but the passenger airbagstatus indicator off lamp is illuminated, itis possible that the person is not sittingproperly in the seat. If this happens:
•Switch your vehicle off and ask theperson to place the seat backrest in anupright position.
•Have the person sit upright in the seat,centered on the seat cushion, with theperson's legs comfortably extended.
•Restart your vehicle and have theperson remain in this position for abouttwo minutes. This allows the systemto detect that person and enable thepassenger frontal airbag.
•If the indicator off lamp remainsilluminated even after this, you shouldadvise the person to ride in the rearseat.
After all occupants have adjusted theirseats and put on seatbelts, it is veryimportant that they continue to sit upright,leaning against the seat backrest, andcentered on the seat cushion, with theirfeet comfortably extended on the floor.
Sitting improperly can increase the chanceof injury in a crash event. For example, ifan occupant slouches, lies down, turnssideways, sits forward, leans forward orsideways, or puts one or both feet up, thechance of injury during a crash greatlyincreases.
If you think that the state of the passengerairbag status indicator lamp is incorrect,check for the following:
•Objects lodged underneath the seat.
•Objects between the seat cushion andthe center console.
•Objects hanging off the seat backrest.
•Objects stowed in the seat backrestmap pocket.
•Objects placed on the occupant's lap.
•Cargo interference with the seat
•Other passengers pushing or pulling onthe seat.
•Rear passenger feet and knees restingor pushing on the seat.
The listed conditions could cause theweight of a properly seated occupant tobe incorrectly interpreted by the frontpassenger sensing system. The person inthe front passenger seat could appearheavier or lighter due to the conditionslisted.
Make sure the front passengersensing system is operatingproperly. See Crash Sensorsand Airbag Indicator (page 63).
If the airbag readiness light is on, do thefollowing:
•Pull your vehicle over.
•Switch your vehicle off.
•Check for any objects lodgedunderneath the front passenger seator cargo interfering with the seat.
•Remove the obstruction if found.
•Restart your vehicle.
•Wait at least two minutes and verifythat the airbag readiness light in theinstrument cluster is no longerilluminated.
•If the airbag readiness light in theinstrument cluster remains illuminated,there may be a problem due to thefront passenger sensing system.
Do not attempt to repair or service thesystem. Take your vehicle in for serviceimmediately.

CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING: Modifying or addingequipment to the front of your vehiclecould affect the performance of theairbag system, increasing the risk ofinjury. This includes the hood, bumpersystem, frame, front body structure, towhooks, hood pins, push bar andsnowplows.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash andoccupant sensors. These sensors provideinformation to the restraints controlmodule which activates the following:
•Front and rear seatbelt pretensioners.
•Driver airbag.
•Passenger airbag.
•Knee airbag(s).
•Front and rear seat mounted sideairbags.
•Adaptive steering column.
•Safety Canopy.
Based on the type of crash, the restraintscontrol module deploys the appropriatesafety devices.
The restraints control module alsomonitors the readiness of the above safetydevices plus the crash and occupantsensors. This module indicates thereadiness of the safety system bydisplaying a warning indicator light in theinstrument cluster. If the warning light isnot working, the system sounds a tone asa backup. Routine maintenance of theairbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated byone or more of the following:
The readiness light will notilluminate immediately after youswitch the power on.
•The readiness light either flashes orstays on.
•You hear a series of five tones. Thetone pattern repeats periodically untilthe problem, the light or both arerepaired.
If any of these things happen, evenintermittently, have the supplementalrestraint system serviced immediately.Unless serviced, the system may notfunction properly in the event of a crash.
The fact that the seatbelt pretensionersor front airbags did not activate for bothfront seat occupants in a crash does notmean that something is wrong with thesystem. Rather, it means the restraintscontrol module determined the accidentconditions (crash severity, seatbelt usage)were not appropriate to activate thesesafety devices.
•The front airbags activate only infrontal and near-frontal crashes. Frontairbags may activate in rollovers, sideimpacts or rear impacts if the crashcauses sufficient frontal deceleration.
•The seatbelt pretensioners activate infrontal, near-frontal and side crashes,and in rollovers.
•The knee airbag deploys based oncrash severity and occupant conditions.
•The side airbags inflate in certain sideimpact crashes or rollover events. Sideairbags may activate in other types ofcrashes if the vehicle experiencessufficient sideways motion ordeformation.
•The Safety Canopy inflates in certainside impact crashes or rollover events.The Safety Canopy may activate inother types of crashes if the vehicleexperiences sufficient sideways motionor deformation, or a certain likelihoodof rollover.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use cleaners or solvents as thiscould damage your mobile power cord. Donot place stress on the charger cables. Ifunit overheats, remove the mobile powercord from direct sunlight.
SAFETY FEATURES
The charger includes the following safetyfeatures to protect against the risk ofelectric shock:
•Service Ground Check: The chargerconstantly checks for the presence ofa service ground connection. If theservice ground ever fails, the chargerred indicator turns ON and shuts downpower to the vehicle.
•Thermal Event Sensor: Charger modulesenses out-of-ordinary thermal eventsand decreases the charging current orshuts the unit down if required.
•Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)Protection: The charger has a groundfault circuit interrupter (GFCI) reactionsystem to protect against electricshock. If the charger module detectsan output ground fault, it shuts downpower to the output cable andilluminates the red indicator.
•Insulation: The charger module,connector, cable assembly, and chargecoupler are completely insulated.There are no exposed live parts, toprotect against electric shock.
•Unintentional Disconnection: Thecharge coupler is designed to minimizeunintentional disconnection. A pilotsignal wire in the cable and chargecoupler eliminates the possibility ofelectric shock when not connected toa vehicle or if an unintended disconnectoccurs during a charge. Disconnectionduring charging is safe.
LOCATING THE CHARGE PORT
The charge port is between the frontleft-hand side door and front left-handwheel well. To open, press the centerright-hand edge of the charge port doorand then release.
Note: Do not apply excessive force. Forcingthe door open or closed damages the chargeport.
CHARGE PORT INDICATORS
The charge status indicator is next to thecharging port behind the charge port door.It indicates the charge status of the highvoltage battery in your vehicle.
Divided into five zones, the charge statusindicator displays the state of charge in 20percent increments.
The charge status indicator displays howfar along the charge is:
•When zone A is pulsing, the charge isbetween 0-20 percent.
•When zone A illuminates, and zone Bis pulsing, the charge is between 20-40percent.
•When zones A and B illuminate andzone C is pulsing, the charge is between40-60 percent.

2023 Mustang Mach-E (CGW) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202209, DOMCharging Your VehicleE317346

•When zones A, B, and C illuminate, andzone D is pulsing, the charge is between60-80 percent.
•When zones A, B, C, and D illuminate,and zone E is pulsing, the charge isbetween 80-100 percent.
•When all zones illuminate, the chargeis 100 percent.
Note:When charging stops, the chargestatus indicator shows all the completedzones solidly illuminated in a blue color for30 seconds before turning off. For example,if charging stops at 70 percent, then A, B,and C light up solidly to indicate a batterycharge level of at least 60 percent but lessthan 80 percent. Charging stops whencomplete or when paused due to chargesettings or charge station actions.
Note:If the charge status indicator doesnot light up or pulse after plugging in, pleaseverify that the charge port light setting is On.If you do not wish to have the charge statusindicator light up at all while charging, thenyou can turn it Off. Locate the charge portlight under the vehicle settings on yourin-vehicle touchscreen.
There are three charge port indicator lightcolors, which indicate a specific action:
White is used as a courtesy light to helpwith plugging in and to acknowledgeactions such as plugging in and unplugging.
Blue is used when the vehicle is plugged inand either charging or waiting to charge.
Amber is used to indicate charge faults.
Note:Charging faults are identified by thecolor amber on the charge status indicator.Faults can occur within the vehicle chargingsystem or outside the vehicle, such as withthe mobile power cord, charge station orelectrical supply.
Note:If the system detects a fault in thevehicle charging system at any point in acharge cycle, the entire charge statusindicator illuminates solidly in an ambercolor for 30 seconds and then turns off. Ifthis happens, unplug the charge coupler andthen plug it back into the charge portreceptacle. If the problem persists, haveyour vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
Note:If the system detects a fault outsidethe vehicle, such as with the charge stationor mobile power cord, the entire chargestatus indicator flashes amber continuouslyfor 30 seconds and then turns off. If thishappens check the mobile power cord,charge station or electrical supply.
