Seating and safety restraints All occupants of the vehicle including the driver should always wear their safety belts even when air bag SRS is provided. Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag cover on the steering wheel or in front seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying air bag. Failure to follow this instruction may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.
Seating and safety restraints How does the air bag supplemental restraint system work? The SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains sufficient longitudinal deceleration. The fact that the air bags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. The air bags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation.
Seating and safety restraints If the air bag is inflated, the air bag will not function again and must be replaced immediately. If the air bag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. The SRS consists of: • driver and passenger air bag modules (which include the inflators and air bags), • one or more impact and safing sensors, • a readiness light and tone • and the electrical wiring which connects the components.
Seating and safety restraints Disposal of air bags and air bag equipped vehicles For disposal of air bags or air bag equipped vehicles, see your local dealership or qualified technician. Air bags MUST BE disposed of by qualified personnel. SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN Important child restraint precautions You are required by law to use safety restraints for children in the U.S. and Canada.
Seating and safety restraints Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets unattended in your vehicle. To improve the fit of lap and shoulder belts on children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford recommends use of a belt-positioning booster seat that is labelled as conforming to all Federal motor vehicle safety standards.
Seating and safety restraints • Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to Automatic locking mode. Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position which is capable of providing a tether anchorage. For more information on top tether straps, refer to Attaching safety seats with tether straps. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions included with the safety seat you put in your vehicle.
Seating and safety restraints 2. Pull down on the shoulder belt and then grasp the shoulder belt and lap belt together. 3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together, route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure the belt webbing is not twisted. 4. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for that seating position until you hear and feel the latch engage. Make sure the tongue is latched securely by pulling on it.
Seating and safety restraints 5. To put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull downward until all of the belt is extracted and a click is heard. 6. Allow the belt to retract. The belt will click as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode. 7. Pull the lap belt portion across the child seat toward the buckle and pull up on the shoulder belt while pushing down with your knee on the child seat. 8.
Seating and safety restraints 10. Try to pull the belt out of the retractor to make sure the retractor is in the automatic locking mode (you should not be able to pull more belt out). If the retractor is not locked, unbuckle the belt and repeat steps two through nine. Check to make sure the child seat is properly secured before each use.
Seating and safety restraints Use the built-in child seat only if the child is at least 9 months old, weighs 9–29 kg (20–60 lb) and the child’s shoulders (top) are below the shoulder harness slots in the built-in child seat. Children not meeting these requirements should be secured in an approved aftermarket seat. Refer to Children and infant or child safety seats in this chapter.
Seating and safety restraints 2. Pull both Velcrot straps to release the child seat cushion. 3. Lower the child seat cushion.
Seating and safety restraints 4. Unfold the cushion protector flap onto adult seat cushion 5. If connected, disconnect the chest clip and buckles. 6. Place the child in the seat and position the left shoulder belt over the child’s left shoulder first, then place the right shoulder belt over the child’s right shoulder.
Seating and safety restraints 7. Insert the left and right safety belt tongues into the left and right slots of the crotch buckle. Verify that the indicator window on each tongue is green to ensure proper safety belt connections. If both tongues do not latch in the buckle, do not use the child seat. See your dealer for repairs. 8. Fasten the right and left chest clip halves together and adjust the clip to comfortably hold the shoulder belts in place over the child’s chest.
Seating and safety restraints 9. Pull on the safety belt tongues to ensure that they are both securely latched. If they are not properly latched, repeat steps seven and eight. If necessary, the shoulder belt may be put in automatic locking mode (ALR) to limit the child’s movement in the seat. The ALR mode should be used if the child is sleeping or attempting to get out of the seat.
Seating and safety restraints Removing your child from the built-in child safety seat 1. Disconnect the chest clip by squeezing the release tabs together and pulling the two sides apart. 2. Press the release button on the crotch buckle. 3. Slide the shoulder belts off the child’s shoulders and remove the child from the seat. If ALR is activated, hold either the left or right shoulder belt out fully while helping the child slide arms out of the belts. 4.
Seating and safety restraints 7. Press firmly on the top center of the built-in child safety seat head restraint to ensure it is stowed properly. Inspecting the built-in child seat after a collision Inspect all built-in child restraints, including seats, buckles, retractors, seat latches. Interlocks and attaching hardware should be inspected by a qualified technician after any collision. If the child seat was in use during a collision, Ford recommends replacing it.
Starting PREPARING TO START YOUR VEHICLE Engine starting is controlled by the ignition system. This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio noise. When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing the accelerator before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have difficulty starting the engine. For more information on starting the vehicle, refer to Starting the engine in this chapter.
Starting If starting a vehicle with an automatic transmission: • Make sure the parking brake is set. • If • • Make sure the gearshift is in P (Park). starting a vehicle with a manual transmission: Make sure the parking brake is set. Push the clutch pedal to the floor.

Starting Guarding against exhaust fumes Although odorless and colorless, carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid its dangerous effects. If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle, have your dealer inspect and fix your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes. These fumes are harmful and could kill you. Have the exhaust and body ventilation systems checked whenever: • the vehicle is raised for service.
Driving BRAKES Your brakes are self-adjusting. Refer to the ‘‘Service Guide’’ for scheduled maintenance. Occasional brake noise is normal and often does not indicate a performance concern with the vehicle’s brake system. In normal operation, automotive brake systems may emit occasional or intermittent squeal or groan noises when the brakes are applied.
Driving light will remain on and your vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible. Normal braking is still effective unless the BRAKE warning lamp is ! also illuminated. BRAKE Using ABS • In an emergency or when maximum efficiency from the ABS is required, apply continuous full force on the brake.
Driving Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park) (automatic transmission) or in 1 (First) (manual transmission). The parking brake is not designed to stop a moving vehicle. However, if the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop your vehicle in an emergency. Since the parking brake applies only the rear brakes, the vehicle’s stopping distance will be adversely affected. Pull the release lever to release the brake.
Driving The air suspension shut-off switch is located in the cargo area behind the left rear quarter trim panel. On vehicles equipped with Air Suspension, turn OFF the Air Suspension switch prior to jacking, hoisting or towing your vehicle. Normal vehicle operation does not require any action by the driver.
Driving Do not rock the vehicle for more than a few minutes. The transmission and tires may be damaged or the engine may overheat. Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn off the ignition whenever you leave your vehicle. Driving with a 4–speed automatic transmission (5.0L engines only) Understanding gearshift positions Pull the gearshift lever towards you and downward to move the automatic gearshift.
Driving N (Neutral) With the gearshift in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and is free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this gear. (Overdrive) The normal driving position for the best fuel economy. Transmission operates in gears one through four. (Overdrive) can be deactivated by pressing the transmission control switch on the end of the gearshift lever. The transmission control indicator light (TCIL) will illuminate on the instrument cluster.
Driving To return to (Overdrive) mode, press the transmission control switch. The TCIL will no longer be illuminated. Each time the vehicle is started, the transmission will automatically return to normal overdrive mode. Every time the vehicle is shut off and restarted, you must press the transmission control switch to cancel overdrive operation if driving in overdrive is not desired. 2 (Second) Use 2 (Second) to start-up on slippery roads or to provide additional engine braking on downgrades.
Driving P (Park) Always come to a complete stop before shifting into or out of P (Park). Make sure the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park). R (Reverse) With the gearshift in R (Reverse), the vehicle will move backward. Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R (Reverse). N (Neutral) With the gearshift in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and is free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this gear. (Overdrive) The normal driving position for the best fuel economy.
Driving The transmission control indicator light (TCIL) will illuminate on the instrument cluster. O/D OFF Drive – Not shown on the display. Activate by pressing the transmission control switch on the end of the gearshift lever with the gearshift in the position. The TCIL will illuminate on the instrument cluster. Transmission operates in gears one through four. (Drive) provides more engine braking than (Overdrive) and is useful whenever driving conditions (i.e., city traffic, hilly terrain, etc.
Driving and will shift to 1 (First) after the vehicle decelerates to the proper vehicle speed. Driving a manual transmission (if equipped) Using the clutch Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission have a starter interlock that prevents cranking the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. When starting a vehicle with a manual transmission: 1. Hold down the brake pedal. 2. Put the gearshift lever in N (Neutral). 3. Depress the clutch pedal. 4.
Driving Recommended shift speeds Upshifts when accelerating (for best fuel economy) Transfer case position (if equipped) Shift from: AUTO or HIGH LOW 1-2 14 km/h (10 mph) 5 km/h (4 mph) 2-3 32 km/h (22 mph) 11 km/h (9 mph) 3 -4 50 km/h (33 mph) 19 km/h (13 mph) 4 - 5 (Overdrive) 71 km/h (41 mph) 27 km/h (17 mph) Upshifts when cruising (recommended for best fuel economy) Transfer case position (if equipped) Shift from: AUTO or HIGH LOW 1 -2 16 km/h (10 mph) 6 km/h (4 mph) 2-3 26 km/h (19 mph) 10 km/h (8 mph)
Driving Parking 1. Apply the brake and shift into N (Neutral). 2. Engage the parking brake. 3. Shift into 1 (First). 4. Turn the ignition to Off. Do not park your vehicle in Neutral, it may move unexpectedly and injure someone. Use 1 (First) gear and set the parking brake fully. Reverse Ensure that the vehicle is at a complete stop before shifting into R (Reverse). Failure to do so may damage the transmission. Put the gearshift into N and wait at least several seconds before shifting into R.
Driving You can shift into R (Reverse) only by moving the gearshift from left of 3 (Third) and 4 (Fourth) gears before you shift into R (Reverse). This is a special lockout feature that protects you from accidentally shifting into R (Reverse) when you downshift from 5 (Overdrive). CONTROL-TRAC AUTOMATIC FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The 4WD system uses all four wheels to power the vehicle.
Driving • The 4WD LOW mode supplies four-wheel drive with full power to both axles and includes a lower gear ratio for low-speed. It is only intended for off-road applications that require extra power including deep sand, steep grades and pulling a boat and trailer out of the water. AUTO HIGH LOW The vehicle should not be operated in 4WD HIGH and 4WD LOW on dry or merely wet pavement. Doing so will produce excessive noise, increase tire wear and may damage driveline components.
Driving Using the Control-Trac system Shifting between 4WD AUTO and 4WD HIGH When you move the control to 4WD HIGH, the indicator light will illuminate in the instrument cluster. AUTO HIGH LOW When you move the control to 4WD AUTO, the indicator light will turn off. Either shift can be done at a stop or while driving at any speed. Shifting from 4WD AUTO or 4WD HIGH to 4WD LOW 1. Bring the vehicle to a stop. 2. Depress the brake. AUTO HIGH LOW 3.
Driving Shifting from 4WD LOW to 4WD AUTO or 4WD HIGH 1. Bring the vehicle to a stop. 2. Depress the brake. AUTO HIGH LOW 3. Place the gearshift in N (Neutral) (automatic transmission) or depress the clutch (manual transmission). 4. Move the 4WD control to the 4WD AUTO or 4WD HIGH position.
Driving Do not spin the wheels at over 56 km/h (35 mph). The tires may fail and injure a passenger or bystander. Sand When driving over sand, try to keep all four wheels on the most solid area of the trail. Do not reduce the tire pressures but shift to a lower gear and drive steadily through the terrain. Apply the accelerator slowly and avoid spinning the wheels. Mud and water If you must drive through high water, drive slowly. Traction or brake capability may be limited.
Driving reduces strain on the engine and the possibility of stalling. When descending a steep hill, avoid sudden braking. Rapid pumping of the brake pedal will help slow the vehicle and still maintain steering control. When speed control is on and you are driving uphill, your vehicle speed may drop considerably, especially if you are carrying a heavy load. If vehicle speed drops more than 16 km/h (10 mph), the speed control will cancel automatically. Resume speed with accelerator pedal.
Driving Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers in these vehicles. Driving off-road with AWD Your vehicle is specially equipped for driving on sand, snow, mud and rough terrain and has operating characteristics that are somewhat different from conventional vehicles, both on and off the road.
Driving Mud and water If you must drive through high water, drive slowly. Traction or brake capability may be limited. When driving through water, determine the depth; avoid water higher than the bottom of the hubs (if possible) and proceed slowly. If the ignition system gets wet, the vehicle may stall. Once through water, always try the brakes. Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle as effectively as dry brakes.
Driving If speed control cancels after climbing the hill, reset speed by pressing and holding the SET ACCEL button (to resume speeds over 50 km/h (30 mph). Automatic transmissions may shift frequently while driving up steep grades. Eliminate frequent shifting by shifting out of (Overdrive) into D (Drive). Driving on snow and ice An AWD vehicle has advantages over 2WD vehicles in snow and ice but can skid like any other vehicle.
Driving • Payload : Combined maximum allowable weight of cargo, passengers and optional equipment. The payload equals the gross vehicle weight rating minus base curb weight. • GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) : Base curb weight plus payload weight. The GVW is not a limit or a specification. • GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) : Maximum total weight of the base vehicle, passengers, optional equipment and cargo.
Driving Calculating the load your vehicle can carry/tow 1. Use the Safety Compliance Certification Label to find the axle code number and engine type for your vehicle. 2. Use the appropriate maximum gross combined weight rating (GCWR) chart to find the maximum GCWR for your type engine and rear axle ratio. 3. Weigh your vehicle as you customarily operate the vehicle without cargo. To obtain correct weights, try taking your vehicle to a shipping company or an inspection station for trucks. 4.
Driving • Thoroughly prepare your vehicle for towing. Refer to Preparing to tow in this chapter. • Use extra caution when driving while trailer towing. Refer to Driving while you tow in this chapter. • Service your vehicle more frequently if you tow a trailer. Refer to the severe duty schedule in the ‘‘Service Guide’’. • Do not tow a trailer until your vehicle has been driven at least 800 km (500 miles).

Driving Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the Safety Compliance Certification Label. Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of control, and personal injury. Preparing to tow Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer, and make sure it is properly attached to your vehicle. See your dealer or a reliable trailer dealer if you require assistance.
Driving Trailer lamps Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure your trailer lamps conform to local and Federal regulations. See your dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions and equipment for hooking up trailer lamps. Never connect any trailer lighting to the vehicle’s taillamp circuits, because it may damage the electrical system resulting in fire. Contact your local Ford dealership for assistance in proper trailer tow wiring installation.
Driving • Allow more distance for stopping with a trailer attached. • The trailer tongue weight should be 10–15% of the loaded trailer weight. • After you have traveled 80 km (50 miles), thoroughly check your hitch, electrical connections and trailer wheel lug nuts. • When stopped in traffic for long periods of time in hot weather, place the gearshift in P (Park) (automatic transmissions) or 1 (First) (manual transmissions) and increase idle speed. This aids engine cooling and air conditioner efficiency.
Driving To adjust cross-bar position: 1. Loosen the thumbwheel at both ends of the cross-bar (both cross-bars are adjustable). 2. Slide cross-bar to the desired location. 3. Tighten thumbwheel at both ends of the cross-bar. FUEL CONSUMPTION Fuel economy can be improved by avoiding: • lack of regular, scheduled maintenance. • excessive speed. • rapid acceleration. • extended idle.
Roadside emergencies HAZARD LIGHTS CONTROL Use only in an emergency to warn traffic of vehicle breakdown, approaching danger, etc. The hazard flashers can be operated when the ignition is off. • The hazard lights control is located on top of the steering column. • Depress hazard lights control to activate all hazard flashers simultaneously. • Depress control again to turn the flashers off.

Maintenance and care grade 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in road characteristics and climate. Traction A B C The traction grades, from highest to lowest are A, B, and C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
Maintenance and care • Adjust tire pressure to recommended specifications found on the Tire Pressure Label. Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control. Tire rotation Because your vehicle’s tires perform different jobs, they often wear differently. To make sure your tires wear evenly and last longer, rotate them as indicated in the ‘‘Service Guide’’. If you notice that the tires wear unevenly, have them checked.
Maintenance and care • Five tire rotation Replacing the tires Replace the tires when the wear band is visible through the tire treads. When replacing full size tires, never mix radial, bias-belted, or bias-type tires. Use only the tire sizes that are listed on the tire pressure decal. Make sure that all tires are the same size, speed rating, and load-carrying capacity. Use only the tire combinations recommended on the decal.
Maintenance and care Make sure that all replacement tires are of the same size, type, load-carrying capacity and tread design (e.g., ‘‘All Terrain’’, etc.), as originally offered by Ford. Failure to follow these precautions may adversely affect the handling of the vehicle and make it easier to lose control and roll over. Tires that are larger or smaller than your vehicle’s original tires may also affect the accuracy of your speedometer.
Maintenance and care Consult your dealer for information on other Ford approved methods of traction control. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUELS Important safety precautions Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire. If you do not use the proper fuel cap, the pressure in the fuel tank can damage the fuel system or cause it to work improperly in a collision. The fuel system may be under pressure.
Maintenance and care • If fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove contact lenses, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. • Be particularly careful if you are taking ‘‘Antabuse’’ or other forms of disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing gasoline vapors or skin contact could cause an adverse reaction. Consult a physician immediately. Choosing the right fuel Use only UNLEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is prohibited by law and could damage your vehicle.
Maintenance and care recommended octane, see your dealer or a qualified service technician to prevent any engine damage. Fuel quality If you are experiencing starting, rough idle or hesitation driveability problems during a cold start, try a different brand of ‘‘Regular’’ gasoline. ‘‘Premium’’ gasoline is not recommended (particularly in the United States) because it may cause these problems to become more pronounced. If the problems persist, see your dealer or a qualified service technician.
Maintenance and care EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM Your vehicle is equipped with various emission control components and a catalytic converter which will enable your vehicle to comply with applicable exhaust emission standards. To make sure that the catalytic converter and other emission control components continue to work properly: • Use only unleaded fuel. • Avoid running out of fuel. • Do not turn off the ignition while your vehicle is moving, especially at high speeds.
Maintenance and care the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal located on or near the engine. This decal identifies engine displacement and gives some tune up specifications. Please consult your ‘‘Warranty Guide’’ for complete emission warranty information. Readiness for inspection/maintenance (I/M) testing In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an I/M test of the on-board diagnostic (OBD-II) system.
Maintenance and care • back-up lamps Do not remove lamp bulbs unless they can be replaced immediately with new ones. If a bulb is removed for an extended period of time, contaminants may enter the lamp housings and affect lamp performance. Replacing headlamp bulbs Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep out of children’s reach. Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base and do not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlamps are operated.
Maintenance and care 5. Remove the old bulb from its socket by gently pulling it straight back out of the socket. Do not turn the bulb while removing it. To install the new bulb: 1. With the flat side of the bulb’s plastic base facing upward, insert the glass end of the bulb into the socket. You may need to turn the bulb left or right to line up the grooves in the plastic base with the tabs in the socket.
Maintenance and care AIMING THE HEADLAMPS Your vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Headlamp Aim Device (VHAD) on each headlamp. Each headlamp may be properly aimed in the vertical (up/down) and the horizontal (left/right) directions using your VHAD system. The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant, and vertical and horizontal indicators of the VHAD system are calibrated.
Maintenance and care Horizontal aim adjustment 1. With the hood open, locate the horizontal indicator and adjusting screw. They are located below the viewing hole at the rear of the headlamp assembly. 2. Use a 4mm wrench or socket to turn the horizontal adjusting screw until the ‘‘0’’ mark on the yellow dial lines up with the reference mark on the marker (as shown) when viewed directly from above. Vertical aim adjustment 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2.
Maintenance and care 3. The ‘‘UP’’ and ‘‘DN’’ on the bubble indicate the directional change (up or down) of the vertical aim. 4. Use a 4 mm wrench or socket to turn the vertical adjusting screw clockwise or counterclockwise until the bubble is centered over the ‘‘0’’ mark. D U Repeat the above process to the other headlamp, if necessary. CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE Refer to the ‘‘Customer Assistance Guide’’ for a list of Ford-approved cleaners, polishes and waxes.
Maintenance and care Waxing your vehicle Wax when water stops beading on the surface. This could be every three or four months, depending on operating conditions. Use only carnauba or synthetic-based waxes. Remove any bugs and tar before waxing vehicle. Use cleaning fluid or alcohol with a clean cloth to remove. Use tar remover to remove any tar spots.
Maintenance and care • 5.0L • 4.0L SOHC • 4.0L EFI • Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the running engine may cause internal damage.
Maintenance and care Cleaning the wheels Wash with the same detergent as the body of your vehicle. Do not use acid-based wheel cleaners, steel wool, fuel or strong detergents. Never use abrasives that will damage the finish of special wheel surfaces. Use a tar remover to remove grease and tar. Cleaning plastic exterior parts Use vinyl cleaner for routine cleaning. Clean with a tar remover if necessary. Do not clean plastic parts with thinners, solvents or petroleum-based cleaners.
