In addition, the seatbelt retractor locks if
you pull the seatbelt webbing out too
quickly. If the retractor locks, slowly lower
the height adjuster to allow the seatbelt
to retract.

If the retractor does not unlock, pull the
seatbelt out slowly then feed a small
length of webbing back toward the stowed
position.

CHECKING THE SEATBELTS

Check the seatbelts and child restraints
periodically to make sure they work
properly and are not damaged. Make sure
there are no nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if
necessary.

Check all of the following seatbelt
assemblies after a crash.

•

Retractors.

•

Buckles.

•

Front seatbelt buckle assemblies.

•

Shoulder belt guide on seat backrest.

•

Child restraint anchors and top tethers.

•

Attaching hardware.

Read the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions for additional inspection and
maintenance information specific to the
child restraint.

We recommend that all seatbelt
assemblies in use in vehicles involved in a
crash be replaced. However, if the crash
was minor and an authorized dealer finds
that the belts do not show damage and
continue to operate properly, they do not
need to be replaced. Seatbelt assemblies
not in use during a crash should also be
checked and replaced if either damage or
improper operation is noted.

Properly care for seatbelts. See

Vehicle

Care

(page 318).

SEATBELT EXTENSIONS

WARNING:

Persons who fit into

the vehicle's seatbelt should not use an
extension. Unnecessary use could result
in serious personal injury in the event of
a crash.

WARNING:

Only use extensions

provided free of charge by our dealers.
The dealer will provide an extension
designed specifically for this vehicle,
model year and seating position. The use
of an extension intended for another
vehicle, model year or seating position
may not offer you the full protection of
your vehicle's seatbelt restraint system.

WARNING:

Never use seatbelt

extensions to install child restraints.

WARNING:

Do not use extensions

to change the way the seatbelt fits
across the torso, over the lap or to make
the seatbelt buckle easier to reach.

WHAT IS THE PERSONAL
SAFETY SYSTEM

An advanced safety system that protects
occupants in frontal crashes.

HOW DOES THE PERSONAL
SAFETY SYSTEM WORK

This system provides an improved level of
frontal crash protection to front seat
occupants and is designed to reduce the
risk of airbag-related injuries. The system
analyzes occupant conditions and crash
severity before activating the appropriate
safety devices. During a crash, the
restraints control module may deploy the
seatbelt pretensioners, and one or both
stages of the dual-stage airbags based on
crash severity and occupant conditions.

PERSONAL SAFETY SYSTEM
COMPONENTS

•

Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag
supplemental restraints.

•

Front seat outermost seatbelts with
pretensioners, energy management
retractors and seatbelt usage sensors.

•

Front passenger sensing system.

•

Passenger airbag off and on indicators.

•

Front crash severity sensors.

•

Restraints control module with impact
and safing sensors.

•

Restraint system warning light and
tone.

•

The electrical wiring for the airbags,
crash sensors, seatbelt pretensioners,
front seatbelt usage sensors, front
passenger sensing system and
indicator lights.

Personal Safety System™

HOW DO THE FRONT AIRBAGS
WORK

E151127

The driver and front passenger airbags
deploy during significant frontal and near
frontal crashes.

The driver and passenger front airbag
system consists of:
•

Driver and passenger airbag modules.

•

Front passenger sensing system.

•

Crash sensors and monitoring system
with readiness indicator. See

Crash

Sensors and Airbag Indicator

(page

67).

The airbags are a supplemental restraint
system and are designed to work with the
seatbelts to help protect the driver and
right front passenger from certain upper
body injuries. Airbags do not inflate slowly;
there is a risk of injury from a deploying
airbag.

Note:

You will hear a loud bang and see a

cloud of harmless powdery residue if an
airbag deploys. This is normal.

The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly
upon activation. After airbag deployment,
it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery
residue or smell the burnt propellant. This
may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder
(to lubricate the bag) or sodium

compounds (for example, baking soda)
that result from the combustion process
that inflates the airbag. Small amounts of
sodium hydroxide may be present which
may irritate the skin and eyes, but none of
the residue is toxic.

Contact with a deploying airbag may cause
abrasions or swelling. Temporary hearing
loss is also a possibility as a result of the
noise associated with a deploying airbag.

Because airbags must inflate rapidly and
with considerable force, there is the risk of
death or serious injuries such as fractures,
facial and eye injuries or internal injuries,
particularly to occupants who are not
properly restrained or are otherwise out of
position at the time of airbag deployment.
Thus, it is extremely important that
occupants be properly restrained as far
away from the airbag module as possible.

Routine maintenance of the airbags is not
required.

HOW DO THE SIDE AIRBAGS
WORK

WARNING:

Do not place objects

or mount equipment on or near the
airbag cover, on the side of the front or
rear seatbacks, or in areas that may
come into contact with a deploying
airbag. Failure to follow these
instructions may increase the risk of
personal injury in the event of a crash.

WARNING:

Accessory seat covers

not released by Ford Motor Company
could prevent the deployment of the
airbags and increase the risk of injuries
in a crash.

Airbags

WARNING:

Do not lean your head

on the door. The side airbag could injure
you as it deploys from the side of the
seatback.

The side airbags are on the outermost side
of the front seat backrests. In certain
sideways crashes or rollovers, the airbags
inflate. The airbag was designed to inflate
between the door panel and occupant to
further enhance the protection provided
occupants in side impact crashes.

Coupe

E152533

Convertible

E174777

The system consists of:
•

A label or embossed side panel
indicating that your vehicle has side
airbags.

•

Side airbags inside the driver and front
passenger seat backrests.

•

Crash sensors and monitoring system
with a readiness indicator. See

Crash

Sensors and Airbag Indicator

(page

67).

Note:

For some models, the passenger

sensing system deactivates the passenger
seat-mounted side airbag if it detects an
empty passenger seat.

HOW DO THE KNEE AIRBAGS
WORK

WARNING:

To reduce risk of injury,

do not obstruct or place objects in the
deployment path of the airbag.

WARNING:

Close the glove box

door when your vehicle is moving. Failure
to follow this instruction could reduce
the effectiveness of the passenger knee
airbag and increase the risk of injury in a
crash.

A driver knee airbag is under or within the
instrument panel. A passenger knee airbag
is within or under the glove compartment.

During a crash, the restraints control
module may activate the driver and
passenger knee airbags based on crash
severity and occupant conditions. Under
certain crash and occupant conditions, the
driver and passenger knee airbag may
deploy but the driver front airbag may not
activate.

Airbags

As with front and side airbags, it is
important to be properly seated and
restrained to reduce the risk of death or
serious injury.

E67017

Make sure the knee airbag is
operating properly. See

Crash

Sensors and Airbag Indicator

(page 67).

HOW DOES THE SAFETY
CANOPY™ WORK - COUPE

WARNING:

Do not place objects

or mount equipment on or near the
headliner at the siderail that may come
into contact with a deploying curtain
airbag. Failure to follow these
instructions may increase the risk of
personal injury in the event of a crash.

WARNING:

Do not lean your head

on the door. The curtain airbag could
injure you as it deploys from the
headliner.

WARNING:

All occupants of your

vehicle, including the driver, should
always properly wear their seatbelts,
even when an airbag supplemental
restraint system is provided. Failure to
properly wear your seatbelt could
seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.

The Safety Canopy deploys during
significant side crashes or when a certain
likelihood of a rollover event is detected
by the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopy
is mounted to the roof side rail sheet metal,
behind the headliner, above each row of
seats.

In certain sideways crashes or rollover
events, the Safety Canopy activates,
regardless of which seats are occupied.
The Safety Canopy is designed to inflate
between the side window area and
occupants to further enhance protection
provided in side impact crashes and
rollover events.

E75004

The system consists of:
•

Safety Canopy curtain airbags above
the trim panels over the front and rear
side windows. They are identified by a
label or wording on the headliner or
roof pillar trim.

•

A flexible headliner which opens above
the side doors to allow air curtain
deployment

•

Crash sensors and monitoring system
with a readiness indicator. See

Crash

Sensors and Airbag Indicator

(page

67).

Properly restrain children 12 years old and
under in the rear seats. The Safety Canopy
airbags will not interfere with children
restrained using a properly installed child
or booster seat because it is designed to
inflate downward from the headliner above
the doors along the side window opening.

Airbags

AIRBAG PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Airbags do not inflate

slowly or gently, and the risk of injury
from a deploying airbag is the greatest
close to the trim covering the airbag
module.

WARNING:

All occupants of your

WARNING:

Properly secure

children 12 years old and under in a rear
seating position whenever possible. If
you are unable to properly secure all
children in a rear seating position,
properly secure the largest child on the
front seat. If you must use a forward
facing child restraint on the front seat,
move the seat as far back as possible.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Do not place your arms

on the airbag cover or through the
steering wheel. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury.

WARNING:

Keep the areas in front

of the airbags free from obstruction. Do
not affix anything to or over the airbag
covers. Objects could become projectiles
during airbag deployment. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

WARNING:

To reduce risk of injury,

do not obstruct or place objects in the
deployment path of the airbag.

WARNING:

Do not place a

rearward facing child restraint in front of
an active airbag. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to

service, repair, or modify the
supplementary restraint system or
associated components. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Several airbag system

components get hot after inflation. To
reduce the risk of injury, do not touch
them after inflation.

WARNING:

If a supplementary

restraint system component has
deployed, it will not function again. Have
the system and associated components
inspected as soon as possible. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

PROPERLY ADJUSTING THE
DRIVER AND FRONT
PASSENGER SEATS

WARNING:

National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
recommends a minimum distance of at
least 10 in (25 cm) between an
occupant's chest and the driver airbag
module.

Airbags

To properly position yourself away from
the airbag:
•

Move your seat to the rear as far as you
can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.

•

Recline the seat slightly one or two
degrees from the upright position.

After all occupants have adjusted their
seats and put on seatbelts, it is very
important that they continue to sit
properly. Properly seated occupants sit
upright, lean against the seat backrest, and
center themselves on the seat cushion,
with their feet comfortably extended on
the floor. Sitting improperly can increase
the chance of injury in a crash event. For
example, if an occupant slouches, lies
down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans
forward or sideways, or puts one or both
feet up, the chance of injury during a crash
greatly increases.

CHILDREN AND AIRBAGS

WARNING:

Do not place a

rearward facing child restraint in front of
an active airbag. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

E142846

Children must always be properly
restrained. Accident statistics suggest that
children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seating positions than in the
front seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the risk of
injury in a crash.

FRONT PASSENGER SENSING
SYSTEM

WHAT IS THE FRONT PASSENGER
SENSING SYSTEM

This system detects a properly seated
occupant and determines if the front
passenger airbag should be enabled.

HOW DOES THE FRONT
PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM
WORK

The system uses a passenger airbag status
indicator which illuminates indicating that
the front passenger frontal airbag is either
enabled or disabled.

Note:

When you first switch the power on,

the passenger airbag status indicator off
and on lamps illuminate for a short period
to confirm they are functional.

E373264

The indicators are in the center of the
instrument panel.

Airbags

The front passenger sensing system is
designed to disable the front passenger
frontal airbag under these conditions:
•

The front passenger seat is
unoccupied.

•

The system determines an infant is
present in a child restraint.

•

A passenger takes their weight off of
the seat for a period of time.

•

If there is a problem with the airbag
system or the passenger sensing
system.

Note:

Even with this technology, parents

are strongly encouraged to always properly
restrain children in the rear seat.

•

When the front passenger sensing
system disables the front passenger
frontal airbag, the passenger airbag
status indicator illuminates the off
lamp.

•

If you have installed the child restraint
and the passenger airbag status
indicator illuminates the on lamp,
switch your vehicle off, remove the
child restraint from your vehicle and
reinstall the restraint following the
child restraint manufacturer's
instructions.

The front passenger sensing system works
with sensors that are part of the front
passenger seat and seatbelt. The sensors
are designed to detect the presence of a
properly seated occupant and determine
if the front passenger frontal airbag should
be enabled.

•

When the front passenger sensing
system enables the front passenger
frontal airbag, the passenger airbag
status indicator illuminates the on
lamp.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front
passenger seat, but the passenger airbag
status indicator off lamp is illuminated, it
is possible that the person is not sitting
properly in the seat. If this happens:
•

Switch your vehicle off and ask the
person to place the seat backrest in an
upright position.

•

Have the person sit upright in the seat,
centered on the seat cushion, with the
person's legs comfortably extended.

•

Restart your vehicle and have the
person remain in this position for about
two minutes. This allows the system
to detect that person and enable the
passenger frontal airbag.

•

If the indicator off lamp remains
illuminated even after this, you should
advise the person to ride in the rear
seat.

After all occupants have adjusted their
seats and put on seatbelts, it is very
important that they continue to sit upright,
leaning against the seat backrest, and
centered on the seat cushion, with their
feet comfortably extended on the floor.

Sitting improperly can increase the chance
of injury in a crash event. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns
sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the
chance of injury during a crash greatly
increases.

If you think that the state of the passenger
airbag status indicator lamp is incorrect,
check for the following:
•

Objects lodged underneath the seat.

•

Objects between the seat cushion and
the center console.

•

Objects hanging off the seat backrest.

•

Objects stowed in the seat backrest
map pocket.

•

Objects placed on the occupant's lap.

Airbags

•

Cargo interference with the seat

•

Other passengers pushing or pulling on
the seat.

•

Rear passenger feet and knees resting
or pushing on the seat.

The listed conditions could cause the
weight of a properly seated occupant to
be incorrectly interpreted by the front
passenger sensing system. The person in
the front passenger seat could appear
heavier or lighter due to the conditions
listed.

E67017

Make sure the front passenger
sensing system is operating
properly. See

Crash Sensors

and Airbag Indicator

(page 67).

If the airbag readiness light is on, do the
following:

•

Pull your vehicle over.

•

Switch your vehicle off.

•

Check for any objects lodged
underneath the front passenger seat
or cargo interfering with the seat.

•

Remove the obstruction if found.

•

Restart your vehicle.

•

Wait at least two minutes and verify
that the airbag readiness light in the
instrument cluster is no longer
illuminated.

•

If the airbag readiness light in the
instrument cluster remains illuminated,
there may be a problem due to the
front passenger sensing system.

Do not attempt to repair or service the
system. Take your vehicle in for service
immediately.

If it is necessary to modify an advanced
front airbag system to accommodate a
person with disabilities, contact your
Customer Relationship Center.

FRONT PASSENGER SENSING
SYSTEM 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:

Any alteration or

modification to the front passenger seat
may affect the performance of the front
passenger sensing system. This could
seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.

WARNING:

Do not place objects

under the front passenger seat or
between the seat and the center
console. Failure to follow this instruction
may interfere with the front passenger
seat sensing system and increase the
risk of injury or death in a crash.

WARNING:

Check the passenger

airbag indicator lamp for proper airbag
status. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Modifying or adding

equipment to the front of your vehicle
could affect the performance of the
airbag system, increasing the risk of
injury. This includes the hood, bumper
system, frame, front body structure, tow
hooks, hood pins, push bar and
snowplows.

Your vehicle has a collection of crash and
occupant sensors. These sensors provide
information to the restraints control
module which activates the following:

•

Front seatbelt pretensioners.

•

Driver airbag.

•

Passenger airbag.

•

Knee airbag(s).

•

Seat mounted side airbags.

•

Adaptive steering column.

•

Safety Canopy airbags.

Based on the type of crash, the restraints
control module deploys the appropriate
safety devices.

The restraints control module also
monitors the readiness of the above safety
devices plus the crash and occupant
sensors. The safety system displays an
indicator in the instrument cluster when it
is ready. The system sends out a tone as
a backup if it is not working. The airbag
does not require routine maintenance.

One or more of the following may indicate
a system issue:

E67017

The readiness light does not
immediately illuminate after you
switch the power on.

•

The readiness light either flashes or
stays on.

•

You hear a series of five tones. The
tone pattern periodically repeats until
the problem, the light or both are
repaired.

If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system immediately serviced.
Unless serviced, the system may not
properly function in the event of a crash.

Airbags

The fact that the seatbelt pretensioners
or front airbags did not activate for both
front seat occupants in a crash does not
mean that something is wrong with the
system. Rather, it means the restraints
control module determined the accident
conditions (crash severity, seatbelt usage)
were not appropriate to activate these
safety devices.
•

The front airbags activate only in
frontal and near-frontal crashes. The
front airbags may activate in rollovers,
side impacts or rear impacts if the
crash causes sufficient frontal
deceleration.

•

The seatbelt pretensioners activate in
frontal, near-frontal and side crashes,
and in rollovers.

•

The knee airbag deploys based on
crash severity and occupant conditions.

•

The side airbags inflate in certain side
impact crashes or rollover events. Side
airbags may activate in other types of
crashes if the vehicle experiences
sufficient sideways motion or
deformation.

•

The Safety Canopy inflates in certain
side impact crashes or rollover events.
The Safety Canopy may activate in
other types of crashes if the vehicle
experiences sufficient sideways motion
or deformation, or a certain likelihood
of rollover.

DISPOSING OF AIRBAGS

WHAT IS 911 ASSIST

911 Assist is a SYNC system feature that
can call for help.

For more information, visit

www.owner.ford.com

HOW DOES 911 ASSIST WORK

If a crash deploys an airbag, excluding knee
airbags and rear inflatable seatbelts, or
activates the fuel pump shut-off, your
vehicle may be able to contact emergency
services by dialing 911 through a paired and
connected

Bluetooth®

enabled phone.

Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate
the fuel pump shut-off. If a connected cell
phone sustains damage or loses its
connection to SYNC during a crash, SYNC
searches for and tries to connect to a
previously paired cell phone. SYNC then
attempts to call the emergency services.

Before making the call:
•

SYNC provides about 10 seconds to
cancel the call. If you fail to cancel the
call, SYNC attempts to dial 911.

•

SYNC says the following, or a similar
message: SYNC will attempt to call 911,
to cancel the call, press Cancel on your
screen or press and hold the phone
button on your steering wheel.

If you do not cancel the call and SYNC
makes a successful call a pre-recorded
message plays for the 911 operator. The
occupants in your vehicle are able to talk
with the operator. Be prepared to provide
your name, phone number and location
immediately because not all 911 systems
are capable of receiving this information
electronically.

During an emergency call the system
transmits vehicle data to the emergency
service.

EMERGENCY CALL
REQUIREMENTS

WARNING:

Do not wait for 911

Assist to make an emergency call if you
can do it yourself. Dial emergency
services immediately to avoid delayed
response time which could increase the
risk of serious injury or death after a
crash. If you do not hear 911 Assist within
five seconds of the crash, the system or
phone may be damaged or
non-functional.

WARNING:

Always place your

phone in a secure location in your vehicle
so it does not become a projectile or get
damaged in a crash. Failure to do so may
cause serious injury to someone or
damage the phone which could prevent
911 Assist from working properly.

WARNING:

Unless the 911 Assist

setting is set on before a crash, the
system will not dial for help which could
delay response time, potentially
increasing the risk of serious injury or
death after a crash.

•

SYNC is powered and working properly
at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.

•

The 911 Assist feature must be set on
before the incident.

•

You must pair and connect a

Bluetooth®

enabled and compatible

cell phone to SYNC.

•

A connected

Bluetooth®

enabled

phone must have the ability to make
and maintain an outgoing call at the
time of the incident.

911 Assist

•

A connected

Bluetooth®

enabled

phone must have adequate network
coverage, battery power and signal
strength.

•

The vehicle must have battery power
and be located in the U.S., Canada or
in a territory in which 911 is the
emergency number.

Note:

If any user sets 911 Assist to on or off,

that setting applies for all paired phones. If
911 Assist is off and the phone connected
to SYNC, an icon displays on the status bar.

Note:

Every phone operates differently.

While SYNC 911 Assist works with most
cellular phones, some may have trouble
using this feature.

EMERGENCY CALL
LIMITATIONS
