Low fuelIlluminates as an early reminder of alow fuel condition
indicated on thefuel gauge (refer to Fuel gauge inthis chapter for
more information).When refueling, after the lightcomes on, the
amount of fuel that is added will be less than theadvertised
capacity since there is fuel still in the tank. The ignition mustbe
in the ON position for this lamp to illuminate. The lamp will
alsoilluminate for several seconds after the ignition is turned to
the ONposition regardless of the fuel level to ensure your bulb is

Service engine soonYour vehicle is equipped with acomputer that
monitors the enginesemission control system. Thissystem is commonly
known as theOn Board Diagnostics System (OBDII). The OBD II system
protects theenvironment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to
meetgovernment emission standards. The OBD II system also assists
theservice technician in properly servicing your vehicle.
The Service Engine Soon indicator light illuminates when the
ignition isfirst turned to the ON position to check the bulb. If it
comes on after theengine is started, one of the engines emission
control systems may bemalfunctioning. The light may illuminate
without a driveability concernbeing noted. The vehicle will usually
be drivable and will not requiretowing.
What you should do if the Service Engine Soon light
illuminatesLight turns on solid:
This means that the OBD II system has detected a
malfunction.
Temporary malfunctions may cause your Service Engine Soon light
toilluminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or
runpoorly.)
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.
3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and
securelytightened.
These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the
fuel tankwith high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or
properlyinstalling and securely tightening the gas cap. After three
driving cycleswithout these or any other temporary malfunctions
present, the ServiceEngine Soon light should turn off. (A driving
cycle consists of a coldengine startup followed by mixed
city/highway driving.) No additionalvehicle service is
required.
If the Service Engine Soon light remains on, have your vehicle
servicedat the first available opportunity.

tank (when thekey is in the ON position). The fuelgauge may vary
slightly when thevehicle is in motion or afterrefueling. The
ignition should be inthe OFF position while the vehicle isbeing
refueled. When the gauge firstindicates empty, there is a
smallamount of reserve fuel in the tank.When refueling the vehicle
from anempty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will
be less thanthe advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.
Engine coolant temperature gaugeIndicates the temperature of
theengine coolant. At normal operatingtemperature, the needle
remainswithin the normal area (the areabetween the H and C). If
itenters the red section, the engine isoverheating. Stop the
vehicle assoon as safely possible, switch offthe engine immediately
and let theengine cool. Refer to Enginecoolant in the Maintenance

Radio frequency informationThe Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and the Canadian Radioand Telecommunications Commission(CRTC)
establish the frequenciesAM and FM stations may use for their
broadcasts. Allowable frequenciesare:
AM 530, 5401600, 1610 kHz
FM 87.7, 87.9107.7, 107.9 MHz
Not all frequencies are used in a given area.
Radio reception factorsThree factors can affect radio
reception:
Distance/strength.The further an FM signal travels, the weaker
it is.The listenable range of the average FM station is
approximately 40 km(24 miles). This range can be affected by signal
modulation. Signalmodulation is a process radio stations use to
increase theirstrength/volume relative to other stations.
Terrain.Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your
vehiclesantenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception
problems.Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines,
electric fences,traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from
an interferingstructure (out of its shadow) returns your reception
to normal.
Station overload.Weak signals are sometimes captured by
strongersignals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal
maytemporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak
stationfrequency is displayed.
The audio system automatically switches to single channel
reception if itwill improve the reception of a station normally
received in stereo.

SAFETY RESTRAINTS
Safety restraints precautionsAlways drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lapbelt snug and low across the hips.
To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit where
theycan be properly restrained.
Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while
thevehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child
from
injury in a collision.
All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should
alwaysproperly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag SRS
is
provided.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside
oroutside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these
areas
are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow
people toride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats andsafety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using asafety belt properly.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more
likelyto die than a person wearing a safety belt.

Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety
beltassembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that
are designed to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt on
theoutside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the
arm.2) Never swing the safety belt around your neck over the
insideshoulder. 3) Never use a single belt for more than one
person.
Always transport children 12 years old and under in the backseat
and always properly use appropriate child restraints.
Combination lap and shoulder belts1. Insert the belt tongue into
theproper buckle (the buckle closest tothe direction the tongue is
comingfrom) until you hear a snap and feelit latch. Make sure the
tongue issecurely fastened in the buckle.
2. To unfasten, push the releasebutton and remove the tongue
fromthe buckle.
The front and rear outboard safety restraints in the vehicle
arecombination lap and shoulder belts. The front passenger and rear
seatoutboard safety belts have two types of locking modes described
below:
Seating and safety restraints

-
Vehicle sensitive modeThe vehicle sensitive mode is the normal
retractor mode, allowing freeshoulder belt length adjustment to
your movements and locking inresponse to vehicle movement. For
example, if the driver brakessuddenly or turns a corner sharply, or
the vehicle receives an impact ofapproximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or
more, the combination safety belts willlock to help reduce forward
movement of the driver and passengers.
Automatic locking modeIn this mode, the shoulder belt is
automatically pre-locked. The belt willstill retract to remove any
slack in the shoulder belt.
The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver safety
belt.
When to use the automatic locking mode Any time a child safety
seat is installed in a passenger front or
outboard rear seating position (if equipped). Children 12 years
old andunder should be properly restrained in the rear seat
wheneverpossible. Refer to Safety Restraints for Children or Safety
Seats forChildren later in this chapter.
How to use the automatic locking mode Buckle the combination lap
and
shoulder belt.

Grasp the shoulder portion andpull downward until the entirebelt
is extracted.
Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a
clickingsound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the
automatic lockingmode.
How to disengage the automatic locking modeFord recommends that
all safety belt assemblies and attachinghardware should be
inspected by a qualified technician after any
collision. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a collision
should alsobe inspected and replaced if either damage or improper
operation isnoted.
Disconnect the combination lap/shoulder belt and allow it to
retractcompletely to disengage the automatic locking mode and
activate thevehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
After any vehicle collision, the front passenger outboard seat
beltsystem must be checked by a qualified technician to verify
that
the automatic locking retractor feature for child seats is
stillfunctioning properly. In addition, all seat belts should be
checked forproper function.
BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED ifthe seat belt
assembly automatic locking retractor feature or
any other seat belt function is not operating properly when
checkedaccording to the procedures in Workshop Manual.

Failure to replace the Belt and Retractor assembly couldincrease
the risk of injury in collisions.
Front safety belt height adjustment (if equipped)Your vehicle
has safety belt heightadjustments for the driver and
frontpassenger. Adjust the height of theshoulder belt so the belt
restsacross the middle of your shoulder.
To lower the shoulder belt height,push the button and slide the
heightadjuster down. To raise the heightof the shoulder belt, slide
the heightadjuster up. Pull down on the heightadjuster to make sure
it is locked inplace.
Position the shoulder belt height adjusters so that the belt
restsacross the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the
safety
belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt
andincrease the risk of injury in a collision.

Lap belts (if equipped)Adjusting the lap beltThe lap belt does
not adjust automatically.
The lap belt should fit snugly and as low as possible around
thehips, not across the waist.
Insert the tongue into the correctbuckle (the buckle closest to
thedirection the tongue is comingfrom). To lengthen the belt, turn
thetongue at a right angle to the beltand pull across your lap
until itreaches the buckle. To tighten thebelt, pull the loose end
of the beltthrough the tongue until it fitssnugly across the
hips.
Shorten and fasten the belt whennot in use.
Safety belt extension assemblyIf the safety belt is too short
when fully extended, there is a 20 cm(8 inch) safety belt extension
assembly that can be added (part number611C22). This assembly can
be obtained from your dealer at no cost.
Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the
safetybelt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of
the webbing onthe label. Also, use the safety belt extension only
if the safety belt is tooshort for you when fully extended. Do not
use extensions to change thefit of the shoulder belt across the
torso.

The purpose of the Belt Minder is to remind occasional wearers
to wearsafety belts all of the time.
The following are reasons most often given for not wearing
safety belts:(All statistics based on U.S. data)
Reasons given... Consider...Crashes are rareevents
36 700 crashes occur every day. The more wedrive, the more we
are exposed to rare events,even for good drivers. 1 in 4 of us will
beseriously injured in a crash during our lifetime.
Im not going far 3 of 4 fatal crashes occur within 25 miles of
home.Belts areuncomfortable
We design our safety belts to enhance comfort. Ifyou are
uncomfortable - try different positions forthe safety belt upper
anchorage and seatbackwhich should be as upright as possible; this
canimprove comfort.
I was in a hurry Prime time for an accident. Belt Minder
remindsus to take a few seconds to buckle up.
Seat belts dontwork
Safety belts, when used properly, reduce risk ofdeath to front
seat occupants by 45% in cars,and by 60% in light trucks.
Traffic is light Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in
single-vehiclecrashes, many when no other vehicles are around.
Belts wrinkle myclothes
Possibly, but a serious crash can do much morethan wrinkle your
clothes, particularly if you areunbelted.
The people Imwith dont wearbelts
Set the example, teen deaths occur 4 times moreoften in vehicles
with TWO or MORE people.Children and younger brothers/sisters
imitatebehavior they see.
I have an air bag Air bags offer greater protection when used
withsafety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed toinflate in
rear and side crashes or rollovers.
Id rather bethrown clear
Not a good idea. People who are ejected are 40times more likely
to DIE. Safety belts helpprevent ejection, WE CANT PICK OUR
CRASH.

Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the
BeltMinder chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase the risk
of
injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the
BeltMinder feature please follow the directions stated below.
One time disableAny time the safety belt is buckled and then
unbuckled during an ignitionON cycle, Belt Minder will be disabled
for that ignition cycle only.
Deactivating/activating the belt minder featureRead steps 1 - 9
thoroughly before proceeding with thedeactivation/activation
programming procedure.
The Belt Minder feature can be deactivated/activated by
performing thefollowing procedure:
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
The parking brake is set. The gearshift is in P (Park)
(automatic transmission) or the neutral
position (manual transmission).
The ignition switch is in the OFF position. All vehicle doors
are closed. The drivers safety belt is unbuckled. The
parklamps/headlamps are in OFF position (If vehicle is equipped
with Autolamps, this will not affect the procedure).
To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate/activate the
BeltMinder feature while driving the vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. (DO
NOTSTART THE ENGINE.)
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off.
(Approximately 12minutes.)
Steps 35 must be completed within 60 seconds or the procedure
willhave to be repeated.
3. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending with
thesafety belt unbuckled. This can be done before or during Belt
Minderwarning activation.

4. Turn on the parklamps/headlamps, turn off the
parklamps/headlamps.
5. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending with
thesafety belt unbuckled.
After step 5 the safety belt warning light will be turned on for
threeseconds.
6. Within seven seconds of the safety belt warning light turning
off,buckle then unbuckle the safety belt.
This will disable Belt Minder if it is currently enabled, or
enable BeltMinder if it is currently disabled.
7. Confirmation of disabling Belt Minder is provided by the
safety beltwarning light flashing four times per second for three
seconds.
8. Confirmation of enabling Belt Minder is provided by:
The safety belt warning light flashing four times per second for
threeseconds.
Followed by three seconds with the safety belt warning light
off. Once again, the safety belt warning light will flash four
times per
second for three seconds.
9. After receiving confirmation, the deactivation/activation
procedure iscomplete.
Safety belt maintenanceInspect the safety belt systems
periodically to make sure they workproperly and are not damaged.
Inspect the safety belts to make surethere are no nicks, tears or
cuts. Replace if necessary. All safety beltassemblies, including
retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckleassemblies, buckle
support assemblies (slide bar-if equipped), shoulderbelt height
adjusters (if equipped), shoulder belt guide on seatback
(ifequipped), child safety seat tether bracket assemblies (if
equipped),LATCH child seat tether anchors and lower anchors (if
equipped), andattaching hardware, should be inspected after a
collision. Fordrecommends that all safety belt assemblies used in
vehicles involved in acollision be replaced. However, if the
collision was minor and a qualifiedtechnician finds that the belts
do not show damage and continue tooperate properly, they do not
need to be replaced. Safety belt assembliesnot in use during a
collision should also be inspected and replaced ifeither damage or
improper operation is noted.

theMaintenacne and Care section.
AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic
modulewhich records information about the air bag and sensor
systems. In theevent of a collision this module may save
information related to thecollision including information about the
air bag system and impactseverity. This information will assist
Ford in the servicing of your vehicleand may help Ford better
understand real world collisions and furtherimprove the safety of
future vehicles.

Important supplemental restraint system (SRS) precautionsThe
supplemental restraint systemis designed to work with the
safetybelt to help protect the driver andright front passenger from
certainupper body injuries.
Air bags DO NOT inflate slowly orgently and the risk of injury
from adeploying air bag is greatest close tothe trim covering the
air bagmodule.
All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should
alwaysproperly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag SRS
is
provided.
Always transport children 12 years old and under in the backseat
and always properly use appropriate child restraints.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)recommends
a minimum distance of at least 25 cm (10 inches)
between an occupants chest and the driver air bag module.
Never place your arm over the air bag module as a deploying
airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries.
Seating and safety restraints

Steps you can take to properly position yourself away from the
air bag:
Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still
reaching thepedals comfortably.
Recline the seat slightly (one or two degrees) from the
uprightposition.
Do not put anything on or over the air bag module.
Placingobjects on or over the air bag inflation area may cause
those
objects to be propelled by the air bag into your face and torso
causingserious injury.
Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the air
bagsupplemental restraint systems or its fuses. Se your Ford or
Lincoln Mercury dealer.
Modifications to the front end of the vehicle, including
frame,bumper, front end body structure and tow hooks may affect
the
performance of the air bag sensors increasing the risk of
injury. Do notmodify the front end of the vehicle.

Children and air bagsFor additional important safetyinformation,
read all information onsafety restraints in this guide.
Children must always be properlyrestrained. Accident
statisticssuggest that children are safer whenproperly restrained
in the rearseating positions than in the frontseating position.
Failure to followthese instructions may increase therisk of injury
in a collision.
Air bags can kill or injure achild in a child seat.
NEVER place a rear-facing childseat in front of an active air
bag.If you must use a forward-facingchild seat in the front seat,
movethe seat all the way back.
How does the air bag supplemental restraint system work?The air
bag SRS is designed toactivate when the vehicle
sustainslongitudinal deceleration sufficientto cause the sensors to
close anelectrical circuit that initiates airbag inflation.
The fact that the air bags did notinflate in a collision does
not meanthat something is wrong with thesystem. Rather, it means
the forceswere not of the type sufficient tocause activation. Air
bags are designed to inflate in frontal andnear-frontal collisions,
not rollover, side-impact, or rear-impacts unlessthe collision
causes sufficient longitudinal deceleration.
Seating and safety restraints
82
-
The air bags inflate and deflaterapidly upon activation. After
air bagdeployment, it is normal to notice asmoke-like, powdery
residue orsmell the burnt propellant. This mayconsist of
cornstarch, talcumpowder (to lubricate the bag) orsodium compounds
(e.g., bakingsoda) that result from thecombustion process that
inflates theair bag. Small amounts of sodiumhydroxide may be
present whichmay irritate the skin and eyes, butnone of the residue
is toxic.
While the system is designed to helpreduce serious injuries,
contact witha deploying air bag may also cause abrasions, swelling
or temporaryhearing loss. Because air bags must inflate rapidly and
with considerableforce, there is the risk of death or serious
injuries such as fractures,facial and eye injuries or internal
injuries, particularly to occupants whoare not properly restrained
or are otherwise out of position at the timeof air bag deployment.
Thus, it is extremely important that occupants beproperly
restrained as far away from the air bag module as possible
whilemaintaining vehicle control.
The SRS consists of:
driver and passenger air bag modules (which include the
inflators andair bags)
one or more impact and safing sensors a readiness light and tone
a diagnostic module and the electrical wiring which connects the
componentsThe diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits
and thesupplemental air bag electrical system warning (including
the impactsensors), the system wiring, the air bag system readiness
light, the airbag back up power and the air bag ignitors.
Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do
nottouch them after inflation.
Seating and safety restraints

If the air bag has deployed, the air bag will not functionagain
and must be replaced immediately. If the air bag is not
replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury
in acollision.
Determining if the system is operationalThe SRS uses a readiness
light in the instrument cluster or a tone toindicate the condition
of the system. Refer to the Air bag readinesssection in the
Instrumentation chapter. Routine maintenance of the airbag is not
required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the
following:
The readiness light will eitherflash or stay lit.
The readiness light will notilluminate immediately afterignition
is turned on.
A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will
repeatperiodically until the problem and/or light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS
servicedat your dealership or by a qualified technician
immediately. Unlessserviced, the system may not function properly
in the event of acollision.
Disposal of air bags and air bag equipped vehicles(including
pretensioners)For disposal of air bags or air bag equipped
vehicles, see your localdealership or qualified technician. Air
bags MUST BE disposed of byqualified personnel.

SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDRENSee the following sections for
directions on how to properly use safetyrestraints for children.
Also see Air Bag Supplemental RestraintSystem (SRS) in this chapter
for special instructions about using airbags.
Important child restraint precautionsYou are required by law to
use safety restraints for children in the U.S.and Canada. If small
children ride in your vehicle (generally children whoare four years
old or younger and who weigh 18 kg [40 lbs] or less), youmust put
them in safety seats made especially for children. Check yourlocal
and state or provincial laws for specific requirements regarding
thesafety of children in your vehicle.
Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while
thevehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child
from
injury in a collision.
Always follow the instructions and warnings that come with any
infant orchild restraint you might use.
When possible, always place children under age 12 in the rear
seat ofyour vehicle. Accident statistics suggest that children are
safer whenproperly restrained in the rear seating positions than in
the front seatingposition.
Children and safety beltsIf the child is the proper size,
restrain the child in a safety seat.
Children who are too large for child safety seats (as specified
by yourchild safety seat manufacturer) should always wear safety
belts.
Follow all the important safety restraint and air bag
precautions thatapply to adult passengers in your vehicle.
If the shoulder belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder
belt canbe positioned so it does not cross or rest in front of the
childs face orneck, the child should wear the lap and shoulder
belt. Moving the childcloser to the center of the vehicle may help
provide a good shoulder beltfit.
Seating and safety restraints
85
-
Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets unattended
inyour vehicle.
To improve the fit of lap and shoulder belts on children who
haveoutgrown child safety seats, Ford recommends use of a
belt-positioningbooster seat that is labelled as conforming to all
applicable Federal motorvehicle safety standards. Belt-positioning
booster seats raise the childand provide a shorter, firmer seating
cushion that encourages saferseating posture and better fit of lap
and shoulder belts on the child.
A belt-positioning booster seat should be used if the shoulder
belt restsin front of the childs face or neck, or if the lap belt
does not fit snuglyon both thighs, or if the thighs are too short
to let the child sit all theway back on the seat cushion when the
lower legs hang over the edge ofthe seat cushion. You may wish to
discuss the special needs of your childwith your pediatrician.
SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN
Child and infant or child safety seatsUse a safety seat that is
recommended for the size and weight of thechild. Carefully follow
all of the manufacturers instructions with thesafety seat you put
in your vehicle. If you do not install and use thesafety seat
properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop
orcollision.
