Cleaning Chrome and Aluminum Parts
Wash chrome and aluminum parts with the
same detergent you use to wash the vehicle
body, such as Ford Premium Car Wash
Concentrate. You can use Ford Extra Strength
Tar and Road Oil Remover or equivalent to
clean grease, oil, and tar from chrome-plated
parts, including wheelcovers, aluminum wheels,
bumpers, or anodized aluminum parts.
Cleaning Plastic Parts
Some of your vehicle’s exterior trim parts are
plastic. Clean with a tar and road oil remover if
necessary. Use a vinyl cleaner for routine
cleaning.
Do not clean plastic parts with thinners, solvents
or petroleum-based cleaners.
If you have your vehicle rustproofed, remove
oversprayed rustproofing with a tar and road oil
remover. If rustproofing is not removed from
plastic and rubber parts, it can cause
deterioration.

Safety Restraints
Important Safety Belt Information
The use of safety belts helps to restrain you and
your passengers in case of a collision. In most
states and in Canada the law requires their use.
Safety belts provide best restraint when:
❑
the seatback is upright
❑
the occupant is sitting upright (not slouched)
❑
the lap belt is snug and low on the hips
❑
the shoulder belt is snug against the chest
❑
the knees are straight forward
To help you remember to fasten your safety belt,
a warning light may come on and a chime may
sound. See
Safety Belt Warning Light and Chime
in
the
Warning Lights and Gauges
chapter.
See the following sections in this chapter for
directions on how to properly use these safety
belts. Also see
Safety Restraints for Children
in this
chapter for special instructions about using
safety belts for children.
R
WARNING
Make sure that you and your passengers
wear safety belts. Always drive and ride
with your seatback upright and the lap
belt snug and low across the hips.
12
R
WARNING
Passengers should not be allowed to ride
in the cargo area. Persons not riding in a
seat with a fastened seat belt are much
more likely to suffer serious injury in a
collision. Cargo should always be secured
to prevent it from shifting and causing
damage to the vehicle or harm to
passengers.
R
WARNING
Never let a passenger hold a child on his
or her lap while the vehicle is moving.
The passenger cannot protect the child
from injury in a collision.
R
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury in a
collision, children should always ride with
the seatback upright.
R
WARNING
Never wear the shoulder belt under the
arm. Never swing it around the neck over
the inside shoulder. Never use a single
belt for more than one person or across
more than one seating position. Each
seating position in your vehicle has a
specific safety belt assembly which is
made up of one buckle and one tongue
that are designed to be used as a pair.
Failure to follow these precautions could
increase the risk and/or severity of injury
in a collision.
13
Lock the doors of your vehicle before driving to
lessen the risk of the door coming open in a
collision.
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual locking
mode retractor on the shoulder belt portion of
the combination lap/shoulder safety belt for
front seat passenger and a locking “cinch
tongue” for rear seat outboard passengers.
Dual Locking Mode Retractors
Vehicle Sensitive (Emergency) Locking Mode
In this operating mode, the shoulder belt
retractor will allow the occupant freedom of
movement, locking tight only on hard braking,
hard cornering or impacts of approximately
5 mph (8 km/h) or more.
The front seat belt retractor can also be made to
lock by pulling/jerking on the belt.
Automatic Locking Mode
In this operating mode, the shoulder belt
retractor will be automatically locked and remain
locked when the combination lap/shoulder
safety belt is buckled, and does not allow the
occupant freedom of movement. This mode
provides the following:
❑
A tight lap/shoulder belt fit on occupant
❑
Child seat/infant carrier installation restraint
R
WARNING
Rear-facing infant seats should never be
placed in the front seat.
This mode must be used when installing a child
seat on the front passenger seat and rear
outboard seats where dual locking retractors are
provided.
