1.Route the child restraint tether strapover the back of the seat and under thehead restraint.
Note:For vehicles with adjustable headrestraints, route the tether strap under thehead restraint and between the headrestraint posts, otherwise route the tetherstrap over the top of the seat backrest.
2.Locate the correct anchor for theselected seating position. Make surethe seat is locked in the upright positionbefore installing the child restraint.
3.Clip the tether strap to either of theanchors on the back panel.
4.Tighten the child restraint tether strapaccording to the manufacturer'sinstructions.
If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, thechild restraint may not be retained properlyin the event of a crash.
If the child restraint is not anchoredproperly, the risk of a child being injured ina crash greatly increases.
If your child restraint system has a tetherstrap, and the child restraint manufacturerrecommends its use, we also recommendits use.
Rear Seat Tether StrapAttachment (SuperCab)
There are two loops of webbing just abovethe back of the rear seat (along the bottomedge of the rear window). Use these loopsas both routing loops and anchor loops forup to two child restraint tether straps.
For example, you can use the driver sideloop as a routing loop for a child restraintin the driver side rear seat and as ananchoring loop for child restraints installedin the passenger side rear seat.
Many tether straps cannot be tightened ifthe tether strap is hooked to the loopdirectly behind the child restraint.
To provide a tight tether strap:
1.Route the vehicle tether loop betweenthe head restraint posts. Then routethe child restraint tether strap throughthe loop, forward of the head restraint.
2.Hook the strap to the vehicle tetheranchor loop in the adjacent seatingposition. Always put the tether strapthrough the routing loop. The headrestraint support post holds the childrestraint tightly, but the head restraintpost is not strong enough to hold thechild restraint during a crash.
3.Tighten the tether strap according tothe child restraint manufacturer'sinstructions.
If the child restraint is not anchoredproperly, the risk of a child being injured ina crash greatly increases.

WARNING: Do not lean your headon the door. The curtain airbag couldinjure you as it deploys from theheadliner.
WARNING: Do not attempt toservice, repair, or modify thesupplementary restraint system orassociated components. Failure tofollow this instruction could result inpersonal injury or death.
WARNING: All occupants of yourvehicle, including the driver, shouldalways properly wear their seatbelts,even when an airbag supplementalrestraint system is provided. Failure toproperly wear your seatbelt couldseriously increase the risk of injury ordeath.
WARNING: To reduce risk of injury,do not obstruct or place objects in thedeployment path of the airbag.

The Safety Canopy deploys duringsignificant side crashes or when a certainlikelihood of a rollover event is detectedby the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopyis mounted to the roof side rail sheet metal,behind the headliner, above each row ofseats. In certain sideways crashes orrollover events, the Safety Canopy will be
activated, regardless of which seats areoccupied. The Safety Canopy is designedto inflate between the side window areaand occupants to further enhanceprotection provided in side impact crashesand rollover events.
The system consists of the following:
•Safety Canopy curtain airbags abovethe trim panels over the front and rearside windows identified by a label orwording on the headliner or roof-pillartrim.
•A flexible headliner which opens abovethe side doors to allow air curtaindeployment
· Crash sensors and monitoringsystem with a readinessindicator. See Crash Sensorsand Airbag Indicator (page 48).
Properly restrain children 12 years old andunder in the rear seats. The Safety Canopywill not interfere with children restrainedusing a properly installed child or boosterseat because it is designed to inflatedownward from the headliner above thedoors along the side window opening.

WHAT IS 911 ASSIST
If a crash deploys an airbag, excluding kneeairbags and rear inflatable seatbelts, oractivates the fuel pump shut-off, yourvehicle may be able to contact emergencyservices by dialing 911 through a paired andconnected Bluetooth®-enabled phone.
Website
www.owner.ford.comwww.syncmyride.cawww.syncmaroute.ca
Not all crashes will deploy an airbag oractivate the fuel pump shut-off (thetriggers for 911 Assist). If a connected cellphone sustains damage or loses itsconnection to SYNC during a crash, SYNCwill search for and try to connect to apreviously paired cell phone; SYNC willthen attempt to call emergency services.
Before making the call:
•SYNC provides a short window of time(about 10 seconds) to cancel the call.If you fail to cancel the call, SYNCattempts to dial 911.
•SYNC says the following, or a similarmessage: "SYNC will attempt to call911, to cancel the call, press Cancel onyour screen or press and hold thephone button on your steering wheel."
If you do not cancel the call, and SYNCmakes a successful call, a pre-recordedmessage plays for the 911 operator, andthen the occupant(s) in your vehicle is ableto talk with the operator. Be prepared toprovide your name, phone number andlocation immediately, because not all 911systems are capable of receiving thisinformation electronically.
During an emergency call, the systemtransmits vehicle data to emergencyservices.
EMERGENCY CALL
REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: Do not wait for 911Assist to make an emergency call if youcan do it yourself. Dial emergencyservices immediately to avoid delayedresponse time which could increase therisk of serious injury or death after acrash. If you do not hear 911 Assist withinfive seconds of the crash, the system orphone may be damaged ornon-functional.
WARNING: Always place yourphone in a secure location in your vehicleso it does not become a projectile or getdamaged in a crash. Failure to do so maycause serious injury to someone ordamage the phone which could prevent911 Assist from working properly.
WARNING: Unless the 911 Assistsetting is set on before a crash, thesystem will not dial for help which coulddelay response time, potentiallyincreasing the risk of serious injury ordeath after a crash.
•SYNC must be powered and workingproperly at the time of the incident andthroughout feature activation and use.
•The 911 Assist feature must be set onbefore the incident.
•You must pair and connect aBluetooth® enabled and compatiblecell phone to SYNC.
•A connected Bluetooth® enabledphone must have the ability to makeand maintain an outgoing call at thetime of the incident.
