FRONT SEAT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Sitting improperly, out

of position or with the seatback reclined
too far can take weight off the seat
cushion and affect the decision of the
passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in the event of a
crash. Always sit upright against your
seat back, with your feet on the floor.

WARNING:

Do not recline the seat

backrest too far as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seatbelt,
resulting in personal injury in the event
of a crash.

WARNING:

Do not place objects

higher than the top of the seat backrest.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or crash.

WARNING:

Do not adjust the driver

seat or seat backrest when your vehicle
is moving. This may result in sudden seat
movement, causing the loss of control
of your vehicle.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION

E68595

When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seatbelt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash.

We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•

Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.

•

Do not recline the seat backrest so that
your torso is more than 30 degrees
from the upright position.

•

Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.

•

Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 in
(25 cm) between your breastbone and
the airbag cover.

•

Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.

Front Seats

•

Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.

•

comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER
INTRODUCTION

HomeLink Wireless Control
System

The universal garage door opener replaces
the common handheld garage door opener
with a three-button transmitter integrated
into the driver-side sun visor.

E188211

How Does The Garage Door Opener
Work

The system includes two primary features,
a garage door opener and a platform for
remote activation of devices within the
home. You can program garage doors as
well as entry gate operators, security
systems, entry door locks and home or
office lighting.

Additional assistance can be found online
at

www.homelink.com/Ford

or by calling

the toll-free help line at 1-800-355-3515.

Garage Door Opener Limitations

Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to time out, or quit,
after several seconds – which may not be
long enough for HomeLink to pick up the

PRECAUTIONS AND
FREQUENCIES

Garage Door Opener Precautions

WARNING:

Do not use the system

with any garage door opener that does
not have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal
Safety Standards (this includes any
garage door opener manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the risk
of serious injury or death.

Programming the Garage Door
Opener to your Gate Opener Motor

Gate Operator / Canadian
Programming

Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to time-out (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission –
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to
time-out in the same manner.

Note:

If programming a garage door opener

or gate operator, it is advised that you
unplug the device during the

cycling

process

to prevent possible overheating.

Press and release your handheld
transmitter,

every two seconds

, until

the HomeLink indicator flashes rapidly
or is continuously on.

2. Release the handheld transmitter

button.

3. Press and hold the HomeLink function

button you want to program for two
seconds, then release. You may need
to do this twice to activate the door.
