WARNING: Do not use your heater with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not fully close the hood. or allow it to drop under its own weight when using the engine block heater. This could damage the power cable and may cause an electrical short resulting in fire. injury and property damage.
Note: The heater is most effective when outdoor temperatures are below 0°F (-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid by warming the engine coolant. This allows the climate control system to respond quickly. The equipment includes a heater element. installed in the engine block and a wire harness. You can connect the system to a grounded 120-volt AC electrical source.
We recommend that you do the following for a safe and correct operation: Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord that is product certified by Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA). This extension cord must be suitable for use outdoors. in cold temperatures. and be clearly marked Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances. Do not use an indoor extension cord outdoors. This could result in an electric shock or become a fire hazard. Use as short an extension cord as possible. Do not use multiple extension cords.
Make sure that when in operation. the extension cord plug and heater cord plug connections are free and clear of water. This could cause an electric shock or fire. If the block heater cord is under the hood. Do Not remove the wiring from its original location. Do Not close the hood on the extension wiring. Make sure your vehicle is parked in a clean area. clear of combustibles. Make sure the heater. heater cord and extension cord are firmly connected. Check for heat anywhere in the electrical hookup once the system has been operating for approximately 30 minutes. Make sure the system is unplugged and properly stowed before starting and driving your vehicle. Make sure the protective cover seals the prongs of the block heater cord plug when not in use. Make sure the heater system is checked for proper operation before winter.
Using the Engine Block Heater
Make sure the receptacle terminals are clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with a dry cloth if necessary.

Event Data
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder. The main purpose of an event data recorder is to record. in certain crash or near crash-like situations. such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle; this data assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The event data recorder is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time. typically 30 seconds or less.
The event data recorder in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: How various systems in your vehicle were operating; Whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were buckled/fastened; How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the brake pedal; and How fast the vehicle was traveling; and Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.
This data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
Note: Event data recorder data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the event data recorder under normal driving conditions and no personal data or information (e.g. name. gender. age. and crash location) is recorded. However. other parties. such as law enforcement. could combine the event data recorder data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an event data recorder. special equipment is required. and access to the vehicle or the event data recorder is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer. other parties. such as law enforcement. that have such special equipment. can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the event data recorder.
Comfort. Convenience and Entertainment Data
Your vehicle has electronic control units that have the ability to store data based on your personalized settings. The data is stored locally in the vehicle or on devices that you connect to it. for example. a USB drive or digital music player. You can delete some of this data and also choose whether to share it through the services to which you subscribe. See Settings (page 382).
Comfort and Convenience Data

Introduction
Some fuel stations. particularly those in high altitude areas. offer fuels posted as regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating below 87. The use of these fuels could result in engine damage that will not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
For best overall vehicle and engine performance. premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The performance gained by using premium fuel is most noticeable in hot weather as well as other conditions. for example when towing a trailer. See Towing (page 197).
Do not be concerned if the engine sometimes knocks lightly. However. if the engine knocks heavily while using fuel with the recommended octane rating. contact an authorized dealer to prevent any engine damage.
We recommend Top Tier detergent gasolines. where available to help minimize engine deposits and maintain optimal vehicle and engine performance. For additional information. refer to www.toptiergas.com.
Note: Use of any fuel for which the vehicle was not designed can impair the emission control system. cause loss of vehicle performance. and cause damage to the engine which may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Do not use: Diesel fuel. Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin. Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol or E85 fuel. Fuels containing methanol. Fuels containing metallic-based additives. including manganese-based compounds.
Fuels containing the octane booster additive. methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). Leaded fuel. using leaded fuel is prohibited by law.
The use of fuels with metallic compounds such as methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (commonly known as MMT). which is a manganese-based fuel additive. will impair engine performance and affect the emission control system.
The fuel filler funnel is under the luggage compartment floor covering.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Running out of fuel can cause damage not covered by the vehicle Warranty.
If your vehicle runs out of fuel: Add a minimum of 1.3 gal (5 L) of fuel to restart the engine. You may need to switch the ignition from off to on several times after refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to the engine. When restarting. cranking time takes a few seconds longer than normal.
Note: If your vehicle is on a steep slope. more fuel may be required.

Fuel and Refueling
Filling the Fuel Tank
For consistent results when refueling: Switch the ignition off before fueling. an inaccurate reading results if you leave the engine running. Use the same fill rate. low-medium-high. each time you fill the tank. Allow no more than one automatic shut-off when refueling.
Results are most accurate when the filling method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Your vehicle calculates fuel economy figures through the trip computer average fuel function. See Information Displays (page 90).
The first 1. 00 mi (1. 00 km) of driving is the break-in period of the engine. The system obtains a more accurate measurement after 2. 00–3. 00 mi (3. 00–4. 00 km).
Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving. for example city or highway. This provides an accurate estimate of your vehicle’s fuel economy under current driving conditions. Keeping records during summer and winter shows how temperature impacts fuel economy.
Conditions Affecting Fuel Efficiency
Carrying unnecessary weight in your vehicle may reduce fuel economy. Avoid adding accessories that increase aerodynamic drag to your vehicle such as bug deflectors. car top carriers and ski or bike racks. Remove empty roof racks and keep windows shut at high speeds to reduce wind resistance and fuel use.
Check and adjust tire pressure regularly. Underinflated tires increases fuel consumption. Sudden acceleration and braking degrade fuel efficiency. Drive smoothly looking as far ahead as possible and avoid short trips when possible. Fuel efficiency degrades with lower temperatures. Comfort features use additional energy and consume more fuel. Use AC and other comfort features only when necessary. Using fuel blended with alcohol may increase fuel consumption.

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never work around or attempt to repair any part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Use special care when working around the catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter heats up to a very high temperature after only a short period of engine operation and stays hot after the engine is switched off.
WARNING: Exhaust leaks may result in entry of harmful and potentially lethal fumes into the passenger compartment. If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle. have your vehicle inspected immediately. Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
Your vehicle has various emission control components and a catalytic converter that enables it to comply with applicable exhaust emission standards.
To make sure that the catalytic converter and other emission control components continue to work properly: Do not crank the engine for more than 10 seconds at a time. Do not run the engine with a spark plug lead disconnected. Do not push-start or tow-start your vehicle. Use booster cables. See Jump Starting the Vehicle (page 210). Use only the specified fuel listed. Do not switch the ignition off when your vehicle is moving. Avoid running out of fuel. Have the items listed in scheduled maintenance information performed according to the specified schedule.
Note: Resulting component damage may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
The scheduled maintenance items listed in scheduled maintenance information are essential to the life and performance of your vehicle and to its emissions system.
If you use anything other than Ford.
Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts for maintenance replacements or for service of components affecting emission control. such non-Ford parts should be equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability.

Engine Emission Control
Illumination of the service engine soon indicator. charging system warning light or the temperature warning light. fluid leaks. strange odors. smoke or loss of engine power could indicate that the emission control system is not working properly.
An improperly operating or damaged exhaust system may allow exhaust to enter the vehicle. Have a damaged or improperly operating exhaust system inspected and repaired immediately.
Do not make any unauthorized changes to your vehicle or engine. By law. vehicle owners and anyone who manufactures. repairs. services. sells. leases. trades vehicles. or supervises a fleet of vehicles are not permitted to intentionally remove an emission control device or prevent it from working. Information about your vehicle’s emission system is on the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal located on or near the engine. This decal also lists engine displacement.
Please consult your warranty information for complete details.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II)
Your vehicle has a computer known as the on-board diagnostics system (OBD-II) that monitors the engine’s emission control system. The system protects the environment by making sure that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards. The OBD-II system also assists a service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.
When the service engine soon indicator illuminates. the OBD-II system has detected a malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may cause the service engine soon indicator to illuminate. Examples are:
Your vehicle has run out of fuel—the engine may misfire or run poorly.
Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel—the engine may misfire or run poorly.
The fuel fill inlet may not have closed properly. See Refueling (page 139).
Driving through deep water—the electrical system may be wet.
You can correct these temporary malfunctions by filling the fuel tank with good quality fuel. properly closing the fuel fill inlet or letting the electrical system dry out. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present. the service engine soon indicator should stay off the next time you start the engine. A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city and highway driving. No additional vehicle service is required.
If the service engine soon indicator remains on. have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity. Although some malfunctions detected by the OBD-II may not have symptoms that are apparent. continued driving with the service engine soon indicator on can result in increased emissions. lower fuel economy. reduced engine and transmission smoothness and lead to more costly repairs.
Readiness for Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Testing
Some state and provincial and local governments may have Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration.
If the service engine soon indicator is on or the bulb does not work. your vehicle may need service. See On-Board Diagnostics.
Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America. Vehicles Built From: 15-07-2019. enUSA. Edition date: 201906. Second-Printing
Engine Emission Control
Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if the service engine soon indicator is on or not working properly (bulb is burned out). or if the OBD-II system has determined that some of the emission control systems have not been properly checked. In this case. the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing.
If the vehicle’s engine or transmission has just been serviced. or the battery has recently run down or been replaced. the OBD-II system may indicate that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. To determine if the vehicle is ready for I/M testing. turn the ignition key to the on position for 15 seconds without cranking the engine. If the service engine soon indicator blinks eight times. it means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing; if the service engine soon indicator stays on solid. it means that your vehicle is ready for I/M testing.
The OBD-II system checks the emission control system during normal driving. A complete check may take several days.
If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. you can perform the following driving cycle consisting of mixed city and highway driving:
15 minutes of steady driving on an expressway or highway followed by 20 minutes of stop-and-go driving with at least four 30-second idle periods.
Allow your vehicle to sit for at least eight hours with the ignition off. Then. start the vehicle and complete the above driving cycle. The vehicle must warm up to its normal operating temperature. Once started. do not turn off the vehicle until the above driving cycle is complete.
If the vehicle is still not ready for I/M testing. you need to repeat the above driving cycle.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Note: Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal. continuous grinding or continuous squeal sound is present. the brake linings may be worn-out and an authorized dealer should check them. If the vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking. an authorized dealer should check your vehicle.
Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the wheels. even under normal driving conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the brakes wear and does not contribute to brake noise. See Cleaning the Wheels (page 260).
Wet brakes result in reduced braking efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a few times when driving from a car wash or standing water to dry the brakes.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped. apply steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle and reduce engine power.
If you experience this condition. apply the brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Switch the engine off. move the transmission to park (P) and apply the parking brake. Inspect the accelerator pedal and the area around it for any items or debris that may be obstructing its movement. If none are found and the condition persists. have your vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer.
Emergency Brake Assist
Emergency brake assist detects when you brake heavily by measuring the rate at which you press the brake pedal. It provides maximum braking efficiency as long as you press the pedal. Emergency brake assist can reduce stopping distances in critical situations.
Note: Depending on applicable laws and regulations in the country for which your vehicle was originally built. your brake lamps could flash during heavy braking. Following this. your hazard lights may also flash when your vehicle comes to a stop.
Anti-lock Brake System
This system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops by keeping the brakes from locking.
This lamp momentarily illuminates when you switch the ignition on. If the light does not illuminate during start up. remains on or flashes. the anti-lock braking system may be disabled. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer. If the anti-lock brake system is disabled. normal braking is still effective.
See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 85).
Note: Indicators vary depending on region.
E270480
This lamp also illuminates momentarily when you switch the ignition on to confirm the lamp is functional. If it does not illuminate when you switch the ignition on. or begins to flash at any time. have the system checked by an authorized dealer. If the brake warning lamp illuminates with the parking brake released. have the system checked immediately.
The anti-lock braking system does not eliminate the risks when: You drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you. Your vehicle is hydroplaning.

Brakes
WARNING: You must remain in your vehicle when the system turns on.
At all times. you are responsible for controlling your vehicle. supervising the system and intervening. if required.
Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle. serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: The system turns off if there is a malfunction or if you excessively rev the engine.
The system makes it easier to pull away when your vehicle is on a slope without the need to use the parking brake.
When the system activates. your vehicle remains stationary on a slope for a few seconds after you release the brake pedal.
This allows you time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal.
The brakes release when the engine has developed sufficient torque to prevent your vehicle from rolling down the slope. This is an advantage when pulling away on a slope. for example from a car park ramp. traffic lights or when reversing uphill into a parking space.
The system activates on any slope that causes your vehicle to roll.
Note: There is no warning lamp to indicate the system is either on or off.
Using Hill Start Assist
Press the brake pedal to bring your vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep the brake pedal pressed and shift into first gear when facing uphill or reverse (R) when facing downhill.
The system activates if the sensors detect that your vehicle is on a slope.

Introduction
The traction control system helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide. the system applies the brakes to individual wheels and. when needed. reduces engine power at the same time. If the wheels spin when accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces. the system reduces engine power in order to increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
WARNING: The stability and traction control light illuminates steadily if the system detects a failure. Make sure you did not manually disable the traction control system using the information display controls or the switch. If the stability control and traction control light is still illuminating steadily. have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle with the traction control disabled could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control. vehicle rollover. personal injury and death.
The system automatically turns on each time you switch the ignition on.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow. switching traction control off may be beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Note: When you switch traction control off. stability control remains fully active.

Reducing the effectiveness of the electronic stability control system could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control. vehicle rollover. personal injury and death.
WARNING: Remember that even advanced technology cannot defy the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the electronic stability control system is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this could reduce the operator’s ability to control the vehicle potentially resulting in a loss of vehicle control. vehicle rollover. personal injury and death. If your electronic stability control system activates. SLOW DOWN.
The system automatically turns on each time you switch the ignition on.
If a fault occurs in either the stability control or the traction control system. you may experience the following conditions:
The stability and traction control light illuminates steadily. The stability control and traction control systems do not enhance your vehicle's ability to maintain traction of the wheels.
If a driving condition activates either the stability control or the traction control system you may experience the following conditions:
The stability and traction control light flashes. Your vehicle slows down. Reduced engine power. A vibration in the brake pedal. The brake pedal is stiffer than usual. If the driving condition is severe and your foot is not on the brake. the brake pedal may move as the system applies higher brake force.
The stability control system has several features built into it to help you maintain control of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
The system enhances your vehicle’s ability to prevent skids or lateral slides by applying brakes to one or more of the wheels individually and. if necessary. reducing engine power.
Traction Control
The system enhances your vehicle’s ability to maintain traction of the wheels by detecting and controlling wheel spin. See Using Traction Control (page 157).

E156130
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching another stationary vehicle. a vehicle traveling in the same direction as yours. or a pedestrian within your driving path. the system is designed to provide three levels of functionality:
Alert
Brake Support
Active Braking
E156131
Alert: When activated. a flashing visual warning and an audible warning tone sounds.
Brake Support: The design of the system helps reduce the impact speed by preparing the brakes for rapid braking. The system does not automatically apply the brakes. If you press the brake pedal. the system can apply additional braking up to maximum braking force. even if you lightly press the brake pedal.
Active Braking: Active braking may activate if the system determines that a collision is imminent. The system may help the driver reduce impact damage or avoid the crash completely.
Note: If you perceive Pre-Collision Assist alerts as being too frequent or disturbing. then you can reduce the alert sensitivity. though the manufacturer recommends using the highest sensitivity setting where possible. Setting lower sensitivity would lead to fewer and later system warnings.
Note: The system turns off when you manually disable AdvanceTrac. or when you select Track mode.

Vehicle Loading - with and without a Trailer
This section guides you in the proper loading of your vehicle. trailer. or both. Keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability. with or without a trailer. Properly loading your vehicle provides maximum return of vehicle design performance.
Before you load your vehicle. become familiar with the following terms for determining your vehicle’s weight rating. with or without a trailer. from the vehicle’s Tire and Loading Information label or Safety Compliance Certification label.
Tire and Loading Label Information Example:
E198719
Payload
Payload is the combined weight of cargo and passengers that your vehicle is carrying. The maximum payload for your vehicle appears on the Tire and Loading label. The label is either on the B-pillar or the edge of the driver door. Vehicles exported outside the US and Canada may not have a tire and loading label. Look for “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg OR XXX lb” for maximum payload. The payload listed on the Tire and Loading Information label
Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America. Vehicles Built From: 15-07-2019. enUSA. Edition date: 201906. Second-Printing
Load Carrying
WARNING: The appropriate loading capacity of your vehicle can be limited either by volume capacity (how much space is available) or by payload capacity (how much weight the vehicle should carry). Once you have reached the maximum payload of your vehicle. do not add more cargo. even if there is space available. Overloading or improperly loading your vehicle can contribute to loss of vehicle control and vehicle rollover.
GAWR - Gross Axle Weight Rating
GAWR is the maximum allowable weight that a single axle (front or rear) can carry. These numbers are on the Safety Compliance Certification label. The label is located on the door hinge pillar. door-latch post. or the door edge that meets the door-latch post. next to the driver seating position.
The total load on each axle must never exceed its Gross Axle Weight Rating.
GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
GVWR is the maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle.
This includes all options. equipment. passengers and cargo.
It appears on the Safety Compliance Certification label.
The label is located on the door hinge pillar. door-latch post. or the door edge that meets the door-latch post. next to the driver seating position.
The gross vehicle weight must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
Safety Compliance Certification Label Example:
E198828

Load Carrying
WARNING: Exceeding the Safety Compliance Certification label vehicle weight limits can adversely affect the performance and handling of your vehicle. cause vehicle damage and can result in the loss of control of your vehicle. serious personal injury or death.
Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight
Maximum loaded trailer weight is the highest possible weight of a fully loaded trailer the vehicle can tow. Consult an authorized dealer (or the RV and Trailer Towing Guide available at an authorized dealer) for more detailed information.
GCWR - Gross Combined Weight Rating
GCWR is the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle and the loaded trailer. including all cargo and passengers. that the vehicle can handle without risking damage. (Important: The towing vehicle’s braking system is rated for operation at Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. not at Gross Combined Weight Rating.) Separate functional brakes should
WARNING: Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label.
WARNING: Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the original tires because they may lower your vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the original tires do not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.
WARNING: Exceeding any vehicle weight rating can adversely affect the performance and handling of your vehicle. cause vehicle damage and can result in the loss of control of your vehicle. serious personal injury or death.
Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America. Vehicles Built From: 15-07-2019. enUSA. Edition date: 201906. Second-Printing
Load Carrying
Steps for determining the correct load limit:
1. Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lb." on your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that can be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lb.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example. if the “XXX” amount equals 1. 00 lb. and there can be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle. the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lb. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lb.) 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
6. If you are towing a trailer. load from your trailer is transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
Helpful examples for calculating the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity
Suppose your vehicle has a 1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargo and luggage capacity. You decide to go golfing. Is there enough load capacity to carry you. four of your friends and all the golf bags? You and four friends average 220 pounds (99 kilograms) each and the golf bags weigh approximately 30 pounds (13.5 kilograms) each.
The calculation would be: 1400 (5 x 220) - (5 x 30) = 1400 - 1100 150 = 150 pounds. Yes. you have enough load capacity in your vehicle to transport four friends and your golf bags. In metric units. the calculation would be: 635 kilograms - (5 x 99 kilograms) (5 x 13.5 kilograms) = 635 - 495 67.5 = 72.5 kilograms.
Suppose your vehicle has a 1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargo and luggage capacity. You and one of your friends decide to pick up cement from the local home improvement store to finish that patio you have been planning for the past two years. Measuring the inside of the vehicle with the rear seat folded down. you have room for twelve 100-pound (45-kilogram) bags of cement. Do you have enough load capacity to transport the cement to your home? If you and your friend each weigh 220 pounds (99 kilograms). the calculation would be: 1400 (2 x 220) - (12 x 100) = 1400 - 440

Load Carrying
1200 = - 240 pounds. No. you do not have enough cargo capacity to carry that much weight. In metric units. the calculation would be: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99 kilograms) - (12 x 45 kilograms) = 635 - 198 - 540 = -103 kilograms.
You need to reduce the load weight by at least 240 pounds (104 kilograms). If you remove three 100-pound (45-kilogram) cement bags. then the load calculation would be:1400 - (2 x 220) - (9 x 100) = 1400 - 440 900 = 60 pounds. Now you have the load capacity to transport the cement and your friend home. In metric units. the calculation would be: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99 kilograms) - (9 x 45 kilograms) = 635 - 198 - 405 = 32 kilograms.
The above calculations also assume that the loads are positioned in your vehicle in a manner that does not overload the front or the rear gross axle weight rating specified for your vehicle on the Safety Compliance Certification label.
Special Loading Instructions for all vehicles
WARNING: When loading the roof racks. we recommend you evenly distribute the load. as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles. with higher centers of gravity. may

Environment
WARNING: Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label.
WARNING: Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer weight exceeds the limit of your vehicle and could result in engine damage. transmission damage. structural damage. loss of vehicle control. vehicle rollover and personal injury.
Note: There may be electrical items such as fuses or relays that can affect trailer towing operation.
See Fuses (page 221).
The load capacity of your vehicle is designated by weight not volume. You may not necessarily be able to use all available space when loading your vehicle or trailer.
Towing a trailer places extra load on the engine. transmission. axle. brakes. tires. and suspension.
Inspect these components before. during and after towing.
Load Placement
To help minimize how trailer movement affects the vehicle when driving: Load the heaviest items closest to the trailer floor. Load the heaviest items in the center of the left and right side trailer tires. Load the heaviest items above the trailer axles or just slightly forward toward the trailer tongue. Do not allow the final trailer tongue weight to go above or below 10-15% of the loaded trailer weight. Select a ball mount with the correct rise or drop. When both the loaded vehicle and trailer are connected. the trailer frame should be level. or slightly angled down toward the vehicle. when viewed from the side.
When driving with a trailer or payload. a slight takeoff vibration or shudder may be present due to the increased payload weight.
Additional information regarding proper trailer loading and setting your vehicle up for towing is located in the Load Carrying chapter. See Load Limit (page 192).
You can also find information in the RV & Trailer Towing Guide available at your authorized dealer. or online.

Towing
Follow these guidelines for safe towing: Do not tow a trailer until you drive your vehicle at least 1. 00 mi (1. 00 km). Consult your local motor vehicle laws for towing a trailer. See the instructions included with towing accessories for the proper installation and adjustment specifications. Service your vehicle more frequently if you tow a trailer. See your scheduled maintenance information. If you use a rental trailer. follow the instructions the rental agency gives you.
You can find information on load specification terms found on the tire label and Safety Compliance label as well as instructions on calculating your vehicle's load in the Load Carrying chapter. See Load Limit (page 192).
Remember to account for the trailer tongue weight as part of your vehicle load when calculating the total vehicle weight.
Hitches
Do not use a hitch that either clamps onto the bumper or attaches to the axle.
Distribute the trailer load so 10-15% of the total trailer weight is on the tongue.
Safety Chains
Note: Never attach safety chains to the bumper.
Always connect the safety chains to the hook retainers of your vehicle hitch.
To connect the safety chains. cross them under the trailer tongue and allow enough slack for turning tight corners. Do not allow the chains to drag on the ground.
Trailer Brakes
WARNING: Do not connect a trailer's hydraulic brake system directly to your vehicle's brake system. Your vehicle may not have enough braking power and your chances of having a collision greatly increase.
Electric brakes and manual. automatic or surge-type trailer brakes are safe if you install them properly and adjust them to the manufacturer's specifications. The trailer brakes must meet local and federal regulations.
The rating for the tow vehicle's braking system operation is at the gross vehicle weight rating. not the gross combined weight rating.
Trailer Lamps
WARNING: Never connect any trailer lamp wiring to the vehicle's tail lamp wiring; this may damage the electrical system resulting in fire. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible for assistance in proper trailer tow wiring installation. Additional electrical equipment may be required.
Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running lights. brake lights. direction indicators and hazard lights are working.
Before Towing a Trailer
Practice turning. stopping and backing up to get the feel of your vehicle-trailer combination before starting on a trip.
When turning. make wider turns so the trailer wheels clear curbs and other obstacles.

Towing
When Towing a Trailer
Do not drive faster than 70 mph (113 km/h) during the first 500 mi (800 km). Do not make full-throttle starts. Check your hitch. electrical connections and trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughly after you have traveled 50 mi (80 km). When stopped in congested or heavy traffic during hot weather. place the transmission in park (P) or neutral (N) to aid engine and transmission cooling and to help air conditioning performance. Switch off the speed control with heavy loads or in hilly terrain. The speed control may turn off automatically when you are towing on long. steep grades. Shift to a lower gear when driving down a long or steep hill. Do not apply the brakes continuously. as they may overheat and become less effective. If your transmission is equipped with a Grade Assist or Tow/Haul feature. use this feature when towing. This provides engine braking and helps eliminate excessive transmission shifting for optimum fuel economy and transmission cooling. Allow more distance for stopping with a trailer attached. Anticipate stops and brake gradually. Avoid parking on a slope. However. if you must park on a slope:
Turn the steering wheel to point your vehicle tires away from traffic flow.
Set your vehicle parking brake.
Place the automatic transmission in park (P) or manual transmission in a low gear.
Place wheel chocks in front and back of the trailer wheels. Chocks are not included with your vehicle.
Launching or Retrieving a Boat or Personal Watercraft (PWC)
Note: Disconnect the wiring to the trailer before backing the trailer into the water.
Note: Reconnect the wiring to the trailer after removing the trailer from the water.
When backing down a ramp during boat launching or retrieval: Do not allow the static water level to rise above the bottom edge of the rear bumper. Do not allow waves to break higher than 6 in (15 cm) above the bottom edge of the rear bumper.
Exceeding these limits may allow water to enter vehicle components: Causing internal damage to the components. Affecting driveability. emissions. and reliability.
Any time the rear axle submerges in water. replace the rear axle lubricant. Water may contaminate the rear axle lubricant. which is not a normal maintenance inspection item unless there is a possibility of a leak or other axle repair is required.
Emergency Towing
WARNING: If your vehicle has a steering wheel lock make sure the ignition is in the accessory or on position when being towed.

Towing
If your vehicle becomes inoperable without access to wheel dollies or a vehicle transport trailer. it can be flat-towed with all wheels on the ground. regardless of the powertrain and transmission configuration. under the following conditions: Your vehicle is facing forward for towing in a forward direction. Place the transmission in neutral (N).
If you cannot shift the transmission into neutral (N). you may need to override the gear shifter. See Transmission (page 147). Failing to do so may result in damage to the transmission. Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h). Maximum distance is 50 mi (80 km).
Recreational Towing
You cannot recreational tow your vehicle with all wheels on the ground because vehicle or transmission damage may occur.
We recommend towing your vehicle with all four wheels off the ground such as when using a car-hauling trailer. Otherwise. you cannot recreational tow your vehicle.

WARNING: If you continue to drive your vehicle when the engine is overheating. the engine could stop without warning. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle.
If the engine coolant temperature gauge needle moves to the upper limit position. the engine is overheating. See Gauges (page 83).
You must only drive your vehicle for a short distance if the engine overheats. The distance you can travel depends on ambient temperature. vehicle load and terrain. The engine continues to operate with limited power for a short period of time.
If the engine temperature continues to rise. the fuel supply to the engine reduces. The air conditioning switches off and the engine cooling fan operates continually.
Gradually reduce your speed and stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Immediately switch the engine off to prevent severe engine damage.
Wait for the engine to cool down.
Check the coolant level. See Engine Coolant Check (page 240).
Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Reduced Vehicle Top Speed
Your vehicle's ability to reach and maintain top speed is partially dependent upon ambient temperature. Under certain environmental conditions. your vehicle's top speed may be reduced to protect powertrain components.
Fuel economy is affected by several things such as how you drive. the conditions you drive under and how you maintain your vehicle.
There are some things to keep in mind that may improve your fuel economy: Accelerate and slow down in a smooth. moderate fashion. Drive at steady speeds. Anticipate stops; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop. Combine errands and minimize stop-and-go driving (When running errands. go to the furthest destination first and then work your way back home). Close the windows for high-speed driving. Drive at reasonable speeds. Keep the tires properly inflated and use only the recommended size. Use the recommended engine oil. Perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.
There are also some things you may want to avoid doing because they reduce your fuel economy: Avoid sudden or hard accelerations. Avoid revving the engine before turning off the car. Avoid long idle periods.

If you tow your vehicle incorrectly. or by any other means. vehicle damage may occur.
The rear wheels must be on a tow dolly when towing your vehicle from the front using wheel lift equipment. This prevents damage to the transmission.
The front wheels must be on a tow dolly when towing your vehicle from the rear using wheel lift equipment. This prevents damage to the front fascia.

Roadside Emergencies
Warranty repairs to your vehicle must be performed by an authorized dealer. While any authorized dealer handling your vehicle line will provide warranty service. we recommend you return to your selling authorized dealer who wants to ensure your continued satisfaction.
Please note that certain warranty repairs require special training and equipment. so not all authorized dealers are authorized to perform all warranty repairs. This means that. depending on the warranty repair needed. you may have to take your vehicle to another authorized dealer.
A reasonable time must be allowed to perform a repair after taking your vehicle to the authorized dealer. Repairs will be made using Ford or Motorcraft parts. or remanufactured or other parts that are authorized by Ford.

In some states within the United States. you must directly notify Ford in writing before pursuing remedies under your state's warranty laws. and Ford is also allowed a final repair attempt.
Additionally. in some states within the United States. a consumer has the option of submitting a warranty dispute to the BBB Auto Line before taking action under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. or to the extent allowed by state law. before pursuing replacement or repurchase remedies provided by certain state laws.
This dispute handling procedure is not required prior to enforcing state created rights or other rights which are independent of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or state replacement or repurchase laws.
California Civil Code Section 1793.2(d) requires that. if a manufacturer or its representative is unable to repair a motor vehicle to conform to the vehicle’s applicable express warranty after a reasonable number of attempts. the manufacturer shall be required to either replace the vehicle with one substantially identical or repurchase the vehicle and reimburse the buyer in an amount equal to the actual price paid or payable by the consumer (less a reasonable allowance for consumer use). The consumer has the right to choose whether to receive a refund or replacement vehicle.
California Civil Code Section 1793.22(b) presumes that the manufacturer has had a reasonable number of attempts to conform the vehicle to its applicable express warranties if. within the first 18 months of ownership of a new vehicle or the first 18. 00 mi (29. 00 km). whichever occurs first:
Two or more repair attempts are made on the same non-conformity likely to cause death or serious bodily injury OR
Four or more repair attempts are made on the same nonconformity (a defect or condition that substantially impairs the use. value or safety of the vehicle) OR
The vehicle is out of service for repair of nonconformities for a total of more than 30 calendar days (not necessarily all at one time).
In the case of 1 or 2 above. the consumer must also notify the manufacturer of the need for the repair of the nonconformity at the following address:

UTILIZING THE MEDIATION/ARBITRATION PROGRAM (CANADA ONLY)
For vehicles delivered to authorized Canadian dealers. In those cases where you continue to feel that the efforts by Ford of Canada and the authorized dealer to resolve a factory-related vehicle service concern have been unsatisfactory. Ford of Canada participates in an impartial third party mediation/arbitration program administered by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).
The CAMVAP program is a straight forward and relatively speedy alternative to resolve a disagreement when all other efforts to produce a settlement have failed. This procedure is without cost to you and is designed to eliminate the need for lengthy and expensive legal proceedings.
In the CAMVAP program. impartial third-party arbitrators conduct hearings at mutually convenient times and places in an informal environment. These impartial arbitrators review the positions of the parties. make decisions and. when appropriate. render awards to resolve disputes. CAMVAP decisions are fast. fair. and final as the arbitrator’s award is binding on both you and Ford of Canada.
CAMVAP services are available in all Canadian territories and provinces. For more information. without charge or obligation. call your CAMVAP Provincial Administrator directly at 1-800-207-0685 or visit www.camvap.ca.

Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children
Recommended Restraint Type Child Size. Height. Weight. or Age Child
Use a child restraint (sometimes called an infant carrier. convertible seat. or toddler seat).
Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generally age four or younger).
Infants or toddlers
Use a belt-positioning booster seat.
Children who have outgrown or no longer properly fit in a child restraint (generally children who are less than 57 in (1.45 m) tall. are greater than age four and less than age 12. and between 40 lb (18 kg) and 80 lb (36 kg) and upward to 100 lb (45 kg) if recommended by your child restraint manufacturer).
Small children
Use a vehicle seatbelt having the lap belt snug and low across the hips. shoulder belt centered across the shoulder and chest. and seat backrest upright.
Children who have outgrown or no longer properly fit in a belt-positioning booster seat (generally children who are at least 57 in (1.45 m) tall or greater than 80 lb (36 kg) or 100 lb (45 kg) if recommended by child restraint manufacturer).
Larger children
You are required by law to properly use child restraints for infants and toddlers in the United States and Canada. Many states and provinces require that small children use approved booster seats until they reach age eight. a height of 57 in (1.45 m) tall. or 80 lb (36 kg). Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements about the safety of children in your vehicle.
When possible. properly restrain children 12 years of age and under in a rear seating position of your vehicle.
Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in a front seating position. See Front Passenger Sensing System (page 42). When installing a rear facing child restraint. adjust the vehicle seats to avoid interference between the child restraint and the vehicle seat in front of the child restraint.

ENGINE OIL CHECK
To check the engine oil level consistently and accurately. do the following:
Make sure the parking brake is on. Make sure the transmission is in park (P) or neutral (N).
Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground.
Switch the engine off and wait 15 minutes for the oil to drain into the oil pan. Checking the engine oil level too soon after you switch the engine off may result in an inaccurate reading.
Open the hood. See Opening and Closing the Hood (page 232).
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean. lint-free cloth. See Under Hood Overview (page 234).
Reinstall the dipstick and remove it again to check the oil level. See Engine Oil Dipstick (page 237).
Make sure that the oil level is between the maximum and minimum marks. If the oil level is at the minimum mark. add oil immediately. See Capacities and Specifications (page 303).
If the oil level is correct. replace the dipstick and make sure it is fully seated.
Note: Do not remove the dipstick when the engine is running.
Note: If the oil level is between the maximum and minimum marks. the oil level is acceptable. Do not add oil.
Note: The oil consumption of new engines reaches its normal level after approximately 3.000 mi (5. 00 km).

Maintenance
When the engine is cold. check the concentration and level of the coolant at the intervals listed in the scheduled maintenance information. See Scheduled Maintenance (page 400).
Note: Make sure that the coolant level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The level may extend beyond the MAX mark.
Maintain coolant concentration within 48% to 50%. which equates to a freeze point between -29°F (-34°C) and -35°F (-37°C). Coolant concentration should be checked using a refractometer. We do not recommend the use of hydrometers or coolant test strips for measuring coolant concentration.
Adding Coolant
WARNING: Do not add engine coolant when the engine is on or the cooling system is hot. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.
WARNING: Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10 minutes for the cooling system to cool down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of scalding and slowly remove the cap. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.
WARNING: Do not put coolant in the windshield washer reservoir. If sprayed on the windshield. coolant could make it difficult to see through the windshield.
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets. cooling system sealants. or non-specified additives as they can cause damage to the engine cooling or heating systems. Resulting component damage may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Note: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable.
It is very important to use prediluted coolant approved to the correct specification in order to avoid plugging the small passageways in the engine cooling system. See Capacities and Specifications (page 297). Do not mix different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or using an incorrect coolant may harm the engine or cooling system components and may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Note: If prediluted coolant is not available. use the approved concentrated coolant diluting it to 50/50 with distilled water. See Capacities and Specifications (page 297).
Using water that has not been deionised may contribute to deposit formation. corrosion and plugging of the small cooling system passageways.
Note: Coolants marketed for all makes and models may not be approved to our specifications and may cause damage to the cooling system. Resulting component damage may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
If the coolant level is at or below the minimum mark. add prediluted coolant immediately.
To top up the coolant level do the following:
Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure escapes as you unscrew the cap.
Add prediluted coolant approved to the correct specification. See Capacities and Specifications (page 297).
Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America. Vehicles Built From: 15-07-2019. enUSA. Edition date: 201906. Second-Printing
Maintenance
Add enough prediluted coolant to reach the correct level.
Replace the coolant reservoir cap. Turn the cap clockwise until it contacts the hard stop.
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir the next few times you drive your vehicle. If necessary. add enough prediluted engine coolant to bring the coolant level to the correct level.
If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) of engine coolant per month. have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Operating an engine with a low level of coolant can result in engine overheating and possible engine damage.
In case of emergency. you can add a large amount of water without engine coolant in order to reach a vehicle service location.
In this instance. qualified personnel:
Must drain the cooling system.
Chemically clean the coolant system.
Refill with engine coolant as soon as possible.
Water alone. without engine coolant. can cause engine damage from corrosion. overheating or freezing.
Do not use the following as a coolant substitute: Alcohol. Methanol. Brine. Any coolant mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze.
Alcohol and other liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.
Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant. These can be harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the coolant.
Recycled Coolant
We do not recommend the use of recycled coolant as an approved recycling process is not yet available.
Note: Dispose of used coolant in the appropriate manner.
Follow your community's regulations and standards for recycling and disposing of automotive fluids.
Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates: It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration above 50%. A coolant concentration of 60% provides improved freeze point protection. Coolant concentrations above 60% decrease the overheat protection characteristics of the coolant and may cause engine damage.
If you drive in extremely hot climates: You can decrease the coolant concentration to 40%. Coolant concentrations below 40% decrease the freeze and corrosion protection characteristics of the coolant and may cause engine damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use prediluted coolant for optimum cooling system and engine protection.
Coolant Change
At specific mileage intervals. as listed in the scheduled maintenance information. the coolant should be changed. Add prediluted coolant approved to the correct specification. See Capacities and Specifications (page 297).

Maintenance
Fail-Safe Cooling
Fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarily drive your vehicle before any incremental component damage occurs. The fail-safe distance depends on ambient temperature. vehicle load and terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat. the coolant temperature gauge moves toward the red zone:
A warning lamp illuminates and a message may appear in the information display.
If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition. the engine automatically switches to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs. your vehicle still operates. however: Engine power is limited. The air conditioning system turns off.
Continued operation increases the engine temperature. causing the engine to completely shut down. Your steering and braking effort increases in this situation.
When the engine temperature cools. you can re-start the engine. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible to minimize engine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated
WARNING: Fail-safe mode is for use during emergencies only. Operate your vehicle in fail-safe mode only as long as necessary to bring your vehicle to rest in a safe location and seek immediate repairs. When in fail-safe mode. your vehicle will have limited power. will not be able to maintain
WARNING: Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10 minutes for the cooling system to cool down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of scalding and slowly remove the cap. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.
Your vehicle has limited engine power when in the fail-safe mode. drive your vehicle with caution. Your vehicle does not maintain high-speed operation and the engine may operate poorly.
Remember that the engine is capable of automatically shutting down to prevent engine damage. In this situation:
Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and switch the engine off.
If you are a member of a roadside assistance program. we recommend that you contact your roadside assistance service provider.
If this is not possible. wait for a short period of time for the engine to cool.
Check the coolant level. If the coolant level is at or below the minimum mark. add prediluted coolant immediately.
When the engine temperature cools. you can re-start the engine. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible to minimize engine damage.
Note: Driving your vehicle without repair increases the chance of engine damage.

Maintenance
Engine Coolant Temperature Management (If Equipped)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of crash and injury. be prepared that the vehicle speed may reduce and the vehicle may not be able to accelerate with full power until the coolant temperature reduces.
If you tow a trailer with your vehicle. the engine may temporarily reach a higher temperature during severe operating conditions. for example ascending a long or steep grade in high ambient temperatures.
At this time. you may notice the coolant temperature gauge moves toward the red zone and a message may appear in the information display.
You may notice a reduction in vehicle speed caused by reduced engine power in order to manage the engine coolant temperature. Your vehicle may enter this mode if certain high-temperature and high-load conditions take place. The amount of speed reduction depends on vehicle loading. grade and ambient temperature. If this occurs. there is no need to stop your vehicle. You can continue to drive.
The air conditioning may automatically turn on and off during severe operating conditions to protect the engine from overheating. When the coolant temperature decreases to the normal operating temperature. the air conditioning turns on.
If the coolant temperature gauge moves fully into the red zone. or if the coolant temperature warning or service engine soon messages appear in your information display. do the following:
Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Fully apply the parking brake. shift into park (P) or neutral (N).
Leave the engine running until the coolant temperature gauge needle returns to the normal position. If the temperature does not drop after several minutes. follow the remaining steps.
Switch the engine off and wait for it to cool. Check the coolant level.
If the coolant level is at or below the minimum mark. add prediluted coolant immediately.
If the coolant level is normal. restart the engine and continue.
Clean the filler plug. The filler plug is on the right-hand side of the transmission.

Child Safety
WAXING
Regular waxing is necessary to protect your car's paint from the elements. We recommend that you wash and wax the painted surface once or twice a year.
When washing and waxing. park your vehicle in a shaded area out of direct sunlight. Always wash your vehicle before applying wax.
Use a quality wax that does not contain abrasives. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to apply and remove the wax. Apply a small amount of wax in a back-and-forth motion. not in circles. Do not allow wax to come in contact with any non-body (low-gloss black) colored trim. The wax will discolor or stain the parts over time. Roof racks. Bumpers. Grained door handles. Side moldings. Mirror housings. Windshield cowl area. Do not apply wax to glass areas. After waxing. your car's paint should feel smooth. and be free of streaks and smudges.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt buildup keep the engine warmer than normal.
When washing: Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause damage. Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to avoid cracking the engine block or other engine components. Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and Degreaser on all parts that require cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In Canada. use Motorcraft Engine Shampoo.
Note: If your vehicle has an engine cover remove the cover before application of Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and Degreaser.
Immediately rinse away any over spray.
Never wash or rinse the engine while it is hot or running; water in the running engine may cause internal damage. Never wash or rinse any ignition coil. spark plug wire or spark plug well. or the area in and around these locations. Cover the battery. power distribution box. and air filter assembly to prevent water damage when cleaning the engine.
Car wash chemicals and environmental fallout can result in windshield and wiper blade contamination. Dirty windshield and wipers will result in poor windshield wiper operation. Keep the windshield and wiper blades clean to maintain windshield wiper performance.

General Information
WARNING: Failure to follow these guidelines could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control. injury or death.
Note: Do not use the kit if you have severely damaged a tire. Only seal punctures within the tire tread with the kit.
Do not attempt to repair punctures larger than ¼ inch (6 millimeters) or damage to the tire's sidewall. The tire may not completely seal.
Loss of air pressure may adversely affect tire performance. For this reason:
Note: Do not drive the vehicle above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Note: Do not drive further than 120 mi (200 km). Drive only to the closest authorized dealer or tire repair shop to have your tire inspected.
Drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers. Periodically monitor tire inflation pressure in the affected tire; if the tire is losing pressure. have the vehicle towed. Read the information in the Tips for Use of the Kit section to make sure safe operation of the kit and your vehicle.
Tips for Use of the Kit
To ensure safe operation of the kit:
Read all instructions and cautions fully. Before operating the kit. make sure your vehicle is safely off the road and away from moving traffic. Switch on the hazard lights. Always set the parking brake to ensure the vehicle does not move unexpectedly.
Do not remove any foreign objects. such as nails or screws. from the tire. When using the kit. leave the engine running (only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area) so the compressor does not drain the vehicle's battery. Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than 15 minutes. This will help prevent the compressor from overheating. Never leave the kit unattended during operation. Sealant compound contains latex.
Those with latex sensitivities should use appropriate precautions to avoid an allergic reaction. Keep the kit away from children. Only use the kit when the ambient temperature is between -22°F (-30°C) and 158°F (70°C). Only use the sealing compound before the use-by date. The use-by date is on a label on the sealant canister. which you can see through the rectangular viewing window on the bottom of the compressor. Check the use-by date regularly and replace the canister when the sealant expires. Do not store the kit unsecured inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle as it may cause injury during a sudden stop or crash. Always store the kit in its original location. After sealant use. an authorized dealer must replace the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and valve stem on the wheel. Operating the kit could cause an electrical disturbance in radio. CD and DVD player operation.

+ When inflation only is required for a tire or other objects. the selector must be in the Air position.
What to do When a Tire Is Punctured
You can repair a tire puncture within the tire's tread area in two stages with the kit.
In the first stage. inflate the tire with a sealing compound and air. After you inflate the tire. you will need to drive the vehicle a short distance 4 mi (6 km) to distribute the sealant in the tire. In the second stage. check the tire pressure and adjust. if necessary. to the vehicle's specified tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Inflating the Tire with Sealing Compound and Air
WARNING: Do not stand directly over the kit while inflating the tire. If you notice any unusual bulges or deformations in the tire's sidewall during inflation. stop and call roadside assistance.
WARNING: If the tire does not inflate to the recommended tire pressure within 15 minutes. stop and call roadside assistance.
WARNING: Do not run the engine when operating the air compressor unless the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe. level and secure area. away from moving traffic.
Switch the hazard lights on. Apply the parking brake and switch the engine off.
Inspect the flat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. Use appropriate precautions to avoid any allergic reactions.
Do not remove any foreign object that has pierced the tire. If a puncture is in the tire sidewall. stop and call roadside assistance.
Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black tube) from the back of the compressor housing.
Fasten the hose to the tire valve by turning the connector clockwise.

E142533
Remove remaining slack from the belt.
Force the seat down with extra weight. for example. by pressing down or kneeling on the child restraint while pulling up on the shoulder belt in order to force slack from the belt. This is necessary to remove the remaining slack that exists once you add the extra weight of the child to the child restraint.
It also helps to achieve the proper snugness of the child restraint to your vehicle. Sometimes. a slight lean toward the buckle will additionally help to remove remaining slack from the belt.
If the child restraint has a tether strap. attach it.
E142534
Before placing the child in the seat. forcibly move the seat forward and back to make sure the seat is securely held in place. To check this. grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to side and forward and back. There should be no more than 1 in (2.5 cm) of movement for proper installation.
We recommend checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician to make certain the child restraint is properly installed. In Canada. check with Transport Canada for referral to a Child Car Seat Clinic.
Using Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)
WARNING: Do not attach two child safety restraints to the same anchor. In a crash. one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child safety restraint attachments and may break. causing serious injury or death.

U.S. Department of Transportation Tire quality grades: The U.S. Department of Transportation requires Ford Motor Company to give you the following information about tire grades exactly as the government has written it.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course.
For example. a tire graded 150 would wear 1 ½ times as well on the government course as a tire graded 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 AA A B C
WARNING: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests. and does not include acceleration. cornering. hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics.
The traction grades. from highest to lowest are AA. A. B. and C. The grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Temperature A B C
WARNING: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed. underinflation. or excessive loading. either separately or in combination. can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
The temperature grades are A (the highest). B and C. representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life. and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the

Wheels and Tires
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Glossary of Tire Terminology
+Tire label: A label showing the original equipment tire sizes. recommended inflation pressure and the maximum weight the vehicle can carry.
+Tire Identification Number (TIN): A number on the sidewall of each tire providing information about the tire brand and manufacturing plant. tire size and date of manufacture. Also referred to as DOT code.
+Inflation pressure: A measure of the amount of air in a tire.
+Standard load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a maximum load at set pressure. For example: For P-metric tires 35 psi (2.4 bar) and for Metric tires 36 psi (2.5 bar).
Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire capability.

WARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint. and depending on the child restraint design. you may block access to certain seatbelt buckle assemblies and LATCH lower anchors. rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of injury. make sure occupants only use seating positions where they are able to be properly restrained.
WARNING: The center of the rear seat is not designed as a seating position and is not equipped with seatbelts. The LATCH anchors were not designed to be used with a child restraint in the center position and there is no tether anchor available at the center. Do not attempt to use the center as a seating position as this will increase the risk of injury or death in the event of a crash.
The LATCH system has three vehicle anchor points: two lower anchors where the seat backrest and seat cushion meet (called the seat bight) and one top tether anchor behind that seating position.
LATCH compatible child restraints have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to the two lower anchors at the LATCH equipped seating positions in your vehicle. This type of attachment method eliminates the need to use seatbelts to attach the child restraint. However. you can still use the seatbelt to attach the child restraint. For forward-facing child restraints. you must also attach the top tether strap to the proper top tether anchor. if a top tether strap has been provided with your child restraint.
E316614
Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors for child restraint installation at the seating positions marked with the child restraint symbol.
E187773
The LATCH anchors are at the rear section of the rear seat between the cushion and seat backrest below the symbols as shown. Follow the child restraint manufacturer's instructions to properly install a child restraint with LATCH attachments. Follow the instructions on attaching child restraints with tether straps.
Only attach LATCH lower attachments of the child restraint to the anchors shown.

Child Safety
You are strongly urged to buy a reliable tire pressure gauge. as automatic service station gauges may be inaccurate. Ford recommends the use of a digital or dial-type tire pressure gauge rather than a stick-type tire pressure gauge.
Use the recommended cold inflation pressure for optimum tire performance and wear.
Under-inflation or over-inflation may cause uneven treadwear patterns.
WARNING: Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and may result in severe tire cracking. tread separation or blowout. with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury. Under-inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance. resulting in heat buildup and internal damage to the tire. It also may result in unnecessary tire stress. irregular wear. loss of vehicle control and accidents. A tire can lose up to half of its air pressure and not appear to be flat!
Always inflate your tires to the Ford recommended inflation pressure even if it is less than the maximum inflation pressure information found on the tire. The Ford recommended tire inflation pressure is found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label
(affixed to either the door hinge pillar. door-latch post. or the door edge that meets the door-latch post. next to the driver's seating position). or Tire Label which is located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. Failure to follow the tire pressure recommendations can cause uneven treadwear patterns and adversely affect the way your vehicle handles.
Maximum Inflation Pressure is the tire manufacturer's maximum permissible pressure and the pressure at which the maximum load can be carried by the tire. This pressure is normally higher than the manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure which can be found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label (affixed to either the door hinge pillar. door-latch post. or the door edge that meets the door-latch post. next to the driver's seating position). or Tire Label which is located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. The cold inflation pressure should never be set lower than the recommended pressure on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label.

Wheels and Tires
When weather temperature changes occur. tire inflation pressures also change. A 43°F (6°C) temperature drop can cause a corresponding drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure.
Check your tire pressures frequently and adjust them to the proper pressure which can be found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label.
To check the pressure in your tire(s): 1. Make sure the tires are cool. meaning they are not hot from driving even a mile.
Note: If you are checking tire pressure when the tire is hot. for example. driven more than 1 mi (1.6 km). never bleed or reduce air pressure. The tires are hot from driving and it is normal for pressures to increase above recommended cold pressures. A hot tire at or below recommended cold inflation pressure could be significantly under-inflated.
Note: If you have to drive a distance to get air for your tire(s). check and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air pressure when you get to the pump. It is normal for tires to heat up and the air pressure inside to go up as you drive.
2. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire. then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve and measure the pressure.
3. Add enough air to reach the recommended air pressure.
Note: If you overfill the tire. release air by pressing on the metal stem in the center of the valve. Then recheck the pressure with your tire gauge.
4. Replace the valve cap.
5. Repeat this procedure for each tire. including the spare.
Note: Some spare tires operate at a higher inflation pressure than the other tires. For T type mini-spare tires. see the Dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly information for a description. Store and maintain at 60 psi (4.15 bar). For full-size and dissimilar spare tires. see the Dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly information for a description. Store and maintain at the higher of the front and rear inflation pressure as shown on the Tire Label.
6. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an air leak.
7. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges. cuts or bulges.

Inspecting Your Tires and Wheel Valve Stems
Periodically inspect the tire treads for uneven or excessive wear and remove objects such as stones. nails or glass that may be wedged in the tread grooves. Check the tire and valve stems for holes. cracks. or cuts that may permit air leakage and repair or replace the tire and replace the valve stem.
Inspect the tire sidewalls for cracking. cuts. bruises and other signs of damage or excessive wear. If internal damage to the tire is suspected. have the tire demounted and inspected in case it needs to be repaired or replaced.
For your safety. tires that are damaged or show signs of excessive wear should not be used because they are more likely to blow out or fail.
Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear abnormally. Inspect all your tires. including the spare. frequently. and replace them if one or more of the following conditions exist:
Tire Wear
E142546
When the tread is worn down to one sixteenth of an inch (2 mm). tires must be replaced to help prevent your vehicle from skidding and hydroplaning. Built-in treadwear indicators. or wear bars. which look like narrow strips of smooth rubber across the tread will appear on the tire when the tread is worn down to one sixteenth of an inch (2 mm).
When the tire tread wears down to the same height as these wear bars. the tire is worn out and must be replaced.
Damage
Periodically inspect the tire treads and sidewalls for damage (such as bulges in the tread or sidewalls. cracks in the tread groove and separation in the tread or sidewall). If damage is observed

WARNING: Tires degrade over time depending on many factors such as weather. storage conditions. and conditions of use (load. speed. inflation pressure) the tires experience throughout their lives.
WARNING: In general. tires should be replaced after six years regardless of tread wear.
However. heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process and may require tires to be replaced more frequently.
WARNING: You should replace your spare tire when you replace the road tires or after six years due to aging even if it has not been used.
U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number
Both United States and Canada Federal regulations require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides a U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number for safety standard certification and in case of a recall.
This begins with the letters DOT and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code designating where it was manufactured. the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example. the numbers 317 mean the 31st week of 1997. After 2000 the numbers go to four digits. For example. 2501 means the 25th week of 2001. The numbers in between are identification codes used for traceability. This information is used to contact customers if a tire defect requires a recall.

Wheels and Tires
WARNING: Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size. load index. speed rating and type (such as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally provided by Ford. The recommended tire and wheel size may be found on either the Safety Compliance Certification Label (affixed to either the door hinge pillar. door-latch post. or the door edge that meets the door-latch post. next to the driver's seating position). or the Tire Label which is located on the B-Pillar or edge of the driver's door. If this information is not found on these labels. then you should contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle. which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control. vehicle rollover. personal injury and death.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury. when mounting replacement tires and wheels. you should not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire to set the beads without additional precautions listed below. If the beads do not seat at the maximum pressure indicated. re-lubricate and try again.
WARNING: For a mounting pressure more than 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater than the maximum pressure. a Ford dealer or other tire service professional should do the mounting.
WARNING: Always inflate steel carcass tires with a remote air fill with the person inflating standing at a minimum of 12 ft (3.66 m) away from the wheel and tire assembly.
WARNING: When inflating the tire for mounting pressures up to 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater than the maximum pressure on the tire sidewall. the following precautions must be taken to protect the person mounting the tire:
Make sure that you have the correct tire and wheel size. Lubricate the tire bead and wheel bead seat area again.

Wheels and Tires
Stand at a minimum of 12 ft (3.66 m) away from the wheel and tire assembly. Use both eye and ear protection.
Important: Remember to replace the wheel valve stems when the road tires are replaced on your vehicle.
It is recommended that the two front tires or two rear tires generally be replaced as a pair.
The tire pressure sensors mounted in the wheels (originally installed on your vehicle) are not designed to be used in aftermarket wheels.
The use of wheels or tires not recommended by Ford Motor Company may affect the operation of your tire pressure monitoring system.
If the tire pressure monitoring system indicator is flashing. your system is malfunctioning. Your replacement tire might be incompatible with your tire pressure monitoring system. or some component of the system may be damaged.
Safety Practices
WARNING: If your vehicle is stuck in snow. mud or sand. do not rapidly spin the tires; spinning the tires can tear the tire and cause an explosion. A tire can explode in as little as three to five seconds.
WARNING: Do not spin the wheels at over 34 mph (55 km/h). The tires may fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
Driving habits have a great deal to do with your tire mileage and safety.
+Observe posted speed limits.
+Avoid fast starts. stops and turns.
+Avoid potholes and objects on the road.
+Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against a curb when parking.
Highway Hazards
No matter how carefully you drive there’s always the possibility that you may eventually have a flat tire on the highway. Drive slowly to the closest safe area out of traffic.
This may further damage the flat tire. but your safety is more important.

Wheels and Tires
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride disturbance while driving. or you suspect your tire or vehicle has been damaged. immediately reduce your speed. Drive with caution until you can safely pull off the road. Stop and inspect the tires for damage. If a tire is under-inflated or damaged. deflate it. remove wheel and replace it with your spare tire and wheel. If you cannot detect a cause. have the vehicle towed to the nearest repair facility or tire dealer to have the vehicle inspected.
Tire and Wheel Alignment
A bad jolt from hitting a curb or pothole can cause the front end of your vehicle to become misaligned or cause damage to your tires. If your vehicle seems to pull to one side when you’re driving. the wheels may be out of alignment. Have an authorized dealer check the wheel alignment periodically.
Wheel misalignment in the front or the rear can cause uneven and rapid treadwear of your tires and should be corrected by an authorized dealer. Front-wheel drive vehicles and those with an independent rear suspension (if equipped) may require alignment of all four wheels.
The tires should also be balanced periodically. An unbalanced tire and wheel assembly may result in irregular tire wear.
Tire Rotation
Note: If your tires show uneven wear ask an authorized dealer to check for and correct any wheel misalignment. tire imbalance or mechanical problem involved before tire rotation.
Note: Your vehicle may be equipped with a dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly. A dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly is defined as a spare wheel and tire assembly that is different in brand. size or appearance from the road tires and wheels. If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly it is intended for temporary use only and should not be used in a tire rotation.
Note: After having your tires rotated. inflation pressure must be checked and adjusted to the vehicle requirements.
Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance chapter) will help your tires wear more evenly. providing better tire performance and longer tire life. Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires.

USING SUMMER TIRES
Summer tires provide superior performance on wet and dry roads.
Summer tires do not have the Mud and Snow (M+S or M/S) tire traction rating on the tire side wall. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as All-season or Snow tires. we do not recommend using summer tires when temperatures drop to about 45°F (7°C) or below (depending on tire wear and environmental conditions) or in snow and
Always store your summer tires indoors at temperatures above 19°F (-7°C). The rubber compounds used in these tires lose flexibility and may develop surface cracks in the tread area at temperatures below 19°F (-7°C). If the tires have been subjected to 19°F (-7°C) or less. warm them in a heated space to at least 41°F (5°C) for at least 24 hours before installing them on a vehicle. or moving the vehicle with the tires installed. or checking tire inflation. Do not place tires near heaters or heating devices used to warm the room where the tires are stored. Do not apply heat or blow heated air directly on the tires.
Always inspect the tires after storage periods and before use.

Inflate the winter tires to the same tire pressures as those listed in the tire pressures table. See Technical Specifications (page 295).
WARNING: Snow tires must be the same size. load index and speed rating as those originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle. which could result in an increased risk of loss of control. vehicle rollover. personal injury and death. Additionally. the use of non-recommended tires and wheels can cause steering. suspension. axle. transfer case or power transfer unit failure.
Follow the Ford recommended tire inflation pressure found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label (on the door hinge pillar. door latch post or the door edge that meets the door latch post. next to the driver seat). or Tire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver door. Failure to follow the tire pressure recommendations can cause uneven treadwear patterns and adversely affect the way your vehicle handles.
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNING: Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal injury or property damage. The traction control activating is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this may lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control. vehicle rollover. personal injury and death. If you experience a severe road event. slow down.
The tires on your vehicle could have all-weather treads to provide traction in rain and snow. In some climates you will need to use snow tires and chains on your vehicle in emergency situations or if required by law.
Note: The suspension insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle damage.
Do not remove these components from your vehicle when using snow tires and chains.
Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:
When possible. avoid fully loading your vehicle. Chains could damage aluminum wheels. Use ultra low profile cables. 10 mm or less in dimension as measured on the sidewall of your tire. with 235/55R 17.
235/50R18 and 255/40R19 on the rear axle only. Do not use snow chains or cables with 265/40R19. 275/40R19 and 265/35R20 tires. Not all S-class snow chains or cables meet these restrictions. Chains of this size restriction will include a tensioning device. Purchase chains or cables from a manufacturer that clearly labels body to tire dimension restrictions. The snow chains or cables must be mounted in pairs on the front or the rear tires only. Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) if recommended by the chain manufacturer while using snow chains. Install cables securely. verifying that the cables do not touch any wiring. brake lines or fuel lines.

Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables rub or bang against the vehicle. stop and retighten them. If this does not work. remove the cables to prevent vehicle damage. Remove the tire chains when they are no longer needed. Do not use tire chains on dry roads.
If you have any questions regarding snow chains or cables. please contact your authorized dealer.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
WARNING: The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for manually checking tire pressures. You should periodically check tire pressures using a pressure gauge. Failure to correctly maintain tire pressures could increase the risk of tire failure. loss of control. vehicle rollover and personal injury.
Note: You should only use tire sealants in roadside emergencies as they could cause damage to the tire pressure monitoring system sensor.
Note: If the tire pressure monitoring system sensor becomes damaged. it will not function.
Each tire. including the spare (if provided). should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature. your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly. when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates. you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible. and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life. and could affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance. and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure. even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction. the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated. the system will not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions could occur for a variety of reasons. including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Combining Seatbelt and LATCH Lower Anchors for Attaching Child Restraints
When used in combination. you can attach either the seatbelt or the LATCH lower anchors first. provided a proper installation is achieved. Attach the tether strap afterward. if included with the child restraint.
Using Tether Straps
Many forward-facing child restraints include a tether strap which extends from the back of the child restraint and hooks to an anchoring point called the top tether anchor. Tether straps are available as an accessory for many older child restraints.
Contact the manufacturer of your child restraint for information about ordering a tether strap. or to obtain a longer tether strap if the tether strap on your child restraint does not reach the appropriate top tether anchor in your vehicle.
Once you install the child restraint using either the seatbelt. the lower anchors of the LATCH system. or both. you can attach the top tether strap.
The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions (shown from top view):
E316620
Perform the following steps to install a child restraint with tether anchors:
For coupe:
Note: If you install a child restraint with rigid LATCH attachments. do not tighten the tether strap enough to lift the child restraint off your vehicle seat cushion when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug without lifting the front of the child restraint.
Keeping the child restraint just touching your vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash.
Route the tether strap over the top of the seat backrest.

Changing Tires With a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
E142549
Note: Each road tire is equipped with a tire pressure sensor located inside the wheel and tire assembly cavity. The pressure sensor is attached to the valve stem. The pressure sensor is covered by the tire and is not visible unless the tire is removed. Take care when changing the tire to avoid damaging the sensor.
You should always have your tires serviced by an authorized dealer.
Check the tire pressure periodically (at least monthly) using an accurate tire gauge. See When Inflating Your Tires in this chapter.
Understanding Your Tire Pressure Monitoring System
E250820
The tire pressure monitoring system measures pressure in your road tires and sends the tire pressure readings to your vehicle. You can view the tire pressure readings through the information display.
See General Information (page 90).The low tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire pressure is significantly low. Once the light is illuminated. your tires are under-inflated and need to be inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure. Even if the light turns on and a short time later turns off. your tire pressure still needs to be checked.
When Your Temporary Spare Tire is Installed
When one of your road tires needs to be replaced with the temporary spare. the system will continue to identify an issue to remind you that the damaged road wheel and tire assembly needs to be repaired and put back on your vehicle.

When Inflating Your Tires
WARNING: Do not use the tire pressure displayed in the information display as a tire pressure gauge. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.
When putting air into your tires (such as at a gas station or in your garage). the tire pressure monitoring system will not respond immediately to the air added to your tires.
It could take up to two minutes of driving over 20 mph (32 km/h) for the light to turn off after you have filled your tires to the recommended inflation pressure.
How Temperature Affects Your Tire Pressure
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors tire pressure in each pneumatic tire. While driving in a normal manner. a typical passenger tire inflation pressure could increase about 2–4 psi (14–28 kPa) from a cold start situation. If the vehicle is stationary overnight with the outside temperature significantly lower than the daytime temperature. the tire pressure could decrease about 3 psi (21 kPa) for a drop of 30°F (17°C) in ambient temperature. This lower pressure value could be detected by the tire pressure monitoring system as being significantly lower than the recommended inflation pressure and activate the system warning light for low tire pressure. If the low tire pressure warning light is on. visually check each tire to verify that no tire is flat. If one or more tires are flat. repair as necessary.
Check the air pressure in the road tires. If any tire is under-inflated. carefully drive the vehicle to the nearest location where air can be added to the tires. Inflate all the tires to the recommended inflation pressure.
EQUIPPED)
WARNING: If the tire pressure monitor sensor becomes damaged it may not function.
Note: You should only use tire sealants in roadside emergencies as they may cause damage to the tire pressure monitoring system sensor.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system indicator light illuminates when the spare tire is in use. To restore the full function of the monitoring system. all road wheels equipped with tire pressure monitoring sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.
If you get a flat tire when driving. do not apply the brake heavily. Instead. gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized dealer in order to prevent damage to the tire pressure monitoring system sensors.
See Tire Pressure Monitoring System (page 286). Replace the spare tire with a road tire as soon as possible. During repairing or replacing of the flat tire. have the authorized dealer inspect the tire pressure monitoring system sensor for damage.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.
WARNING: Children must always be properly restrained.
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 crash.
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.
WARNING: It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area. inside or outside of a vehicle. In a crash. people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seatbelts. Make sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: In a rollover crash. an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
WARNING: Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific seatbelt assembly made up of one buckle and one tongue designed to be used as a pair.
Use the shoulder belt on the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm. Never use a single seatbelt for more than one person.
WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child restraint. Properly restrain children 12 and under in the rear seat whenever possible.
WARNING: Seatbelts and seats may be hot in a vehicle that is in the sunshine. The hot seatbelts or seats may burn a small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them.
WARNING: The center of the rear seat is not designed as a seating position and is not equipped with seatbelts. The LATCH anchors were not designed to be used with a child restraint in the center position and there is no tether anchor available at the center. Do not attempt to use the center as a seating position as this will increase the risk of injury or death in the event of a crash.

Seatbelts
Pregnant women should always wear their seatbelt. Position the lap belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt low across the hips below the belly and worn as tight as comfort allows. Position the shoulder belt to cross the middle of the shoulder and the center of the chest.
Seatbelt Locking Modes
WARNING: If your vehicle is involved in a crash. have the seatbelts and associated components inspected as soon as possible. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.
All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts and have vehicle sensitive locking mode. In addition. the front outboard passenger and rear seat seatbelts have the automatic locking mode.
Vehicle Sensitive Mode
This is the normal retractor mode. which allows free shoulder belt length adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle movement.
For example. if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner sharply. or the vehicle receives an impact of about 5 mph (8 km/h) or more. the combination seatbelts lock to help reduce forward movement of the driver and passengers.
In addition. the retractor is designed to lock if you pull the webbing out too quickly. If the seatbelt 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
Automatic Locking Mode
In this mode. the shoulder belt automatically pre-locks. The belt still retracts to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver seatbelt.
When to Use the Automatic Locking Mode
Use this mode any time a child safety seat. except a booster. is installed in passenger front or rear seating positions. Properly restrain children 12 years old and under in a rear seating position whenever possible.
See Child Safety (page 20).
How to Disengage the Automatic Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to retract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

Belt-Minder
This feature supplements the seatbelt warning function by providing additional reminders that intermittently sound a tone and illuminate the seatbelt warning light when you are in the driver seat or you have a front seat passenger and a seatbelt is unbuckled.
The system uses information from the front passenger sensing system to determine if a front seat passenger is present and therefore potentially in need of a warning. To avoid activating the Belt-Minder feature for objects you place in the front passenger seat. only the front seat passengers receive warnings as determined by the front passenger sensing system.
If the Belt-Minder warnings expire (warnings for about five minutes) for one passenger (driver or front passenger). the other passenger can still cause the Belt-Minder feature to turn on.

CHILD RESTRAINT AND SEATBELT MAINTENANCE
Inspect the vehicle seatbelts and child safety seat systems periodically to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Inspect the vehicle and child restraint seatbelts to make sure there are no nicks. tears or cuts. Replace if necessary. All vehicle seatbelt assemblies. including retractors. buckles. front seatbelt buckle assemblies. buckle support assemblies (slide bar-if equipped). shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped). shoulder belt guide on seat backrest (if equipped). child safety seat LATCH and tether anchors. and attaching hardware. should be inspected after a crash. 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 inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.
Properly care for seatbelts. See Vehicle Care (page 255).
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 a seatbelt extension with an inflatable seatbelt.
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.
If. because of body size or driving position. it is not possible to properly fasten the seatbelt over your lap and shoulder. an extension that is compatible with the seatbelts is available free of charge from our dealers. Only use our seatbelt extensions made by the original equipment seatbelt manufacturer with our seatbelts.
Ask your authorized dealer if your extension is compatible with your vehicle restraint system.

Seatbelts
The Personal Safety System provides an improved overall level of frontal crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help further reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries. The system is able to analyze different occupant conditions and crash severity before activating the appropriate safety devices to help better protect a range of occupants in a variety of frontal crash situations.
The Vehicle Personal Safety System consists of: Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints. Front seat outermost seatbelts with pretensioners. energy management retractors and seatbelt usage sensors. Driver seat position sensor. Passenger seat position sensor. 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 lamp and tone. The electrical wiring for the airbags. crash sensors. seatbelt pretensioners. front seatbelt usage sensors. driver seat position sensor. front passenger sensing system and indicators.
How Does the Personal Safety System Work?
The Personal Safety System can adapt the deployment strategy of the safety devices according to crash severity and occupant conditions. A collection of crash and occupant sensors provides information to the restraints control module. During a crash. the restraints control module may deploy the seatbelt pretensioners. one or both stages of the dual-stage airbags based on crash severity and occupant conditions.

Personal Safety System
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
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 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.
WARNING: Even with advanced restraints systems. properly restrain children 12 and under in a rear seating position. Failure to follow this could seriously increase the risk of 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 or in a sudden stop. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.
WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child restraint. Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an active airbag. If you must use a forward-facing child restraint in the front seat. move the seat upon which the child restraint is installed all the way back.
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.
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.

Supplementary Restraints System
While the system is designed to help reduce serious injuries. contact with a deploying airbag may also 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 while maintaining vehicle control.
Routine maintenance of the airbags is not required.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS
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 or in a sudden stop. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.
WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child restraint. Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an active airbag. If you must use a forward-facing child restraint in the front seat. move the seat upon which the child restraint is installed all the way back.
E151127

Supplementary Restraints System
After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on seatbelts. it is very important that they continue to sit properly. A properly seated occupant sits upright. leaning against the seatback. 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 is greatly increased.
Children and Airbags
WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child restraint. Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an active airbag. If you must use a forward-facing child restraint in the front seat. move the seat upon which the child restraint is installed all the way back.
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.
WARNING: Even with advanced restraints systems. properly restrain children 12 and under in a rear seating position. Failure to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.
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 stow objects in the seatback map pocket or hang objects off a seatback if a child is in the front passenger seat. Do not place objects under the front passenger seat or between the seat and the center console. Check the passenger airbag indicator lamp for proper airbag status.
Failure to follow these instructions may interfere with the front passenger seat sensing system and increase the risk of serious injury.
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.
This system works with sensors that are part of the front passenger seat and seatbelt to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant and determine if the front passenger frontal airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or not.

E253573
The front passenger sensing system uses a passenger airbag status indicator that illuminates indicating that the front passenger frontal airbag is either on (enabled) or off (disabled).
The indicator lamp is on the overhead console.
Note: The passenger airbag status indicator lamps illuminate for a short period of time when you first switch the ignition on to confirm it is functional.
The front passenger sensing system is designed to disable (will not inflate) the front passenger frontal airbag when the front passenger seat is unoccupied. or a rear facing infant seat. a forward-facing child restraint. or a booster seat is detected. Even with this technology. parents are strongly encouraged to always properly restrain children in the rear seat.
When the front passenger sensing system disables (will not inflate) the front passenger frontal airbag. the passenger airbag status indicator illuminates the off lamp and stays lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal airbag is disabled. If you install the child restraint and the passenger airbag status indicator illuminates the on lamp. switch the vehicle off. remove the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the restraint following the child restraint manufacturer's instructions.
The front passenger sensing system is designed to enable (may inflate) the front passenger frontal airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger seat.
When the front passenger sensing system enables the front passenger frontal airbag (may inflate). the passenger airbag status indicator illuminates the on lamp and remains illuminated.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger seat. but the airbag off indicator lamp is lit. it is possible that the person is not sitting properly in the seat. If this happens: Switch the 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 the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This allows the system to detect that person and enables (may inflate) the passenger frontal airbag. If the indicator off lamp remains lit even after this. 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 properly. A properly seated occupant sits 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 status of the passenger airbag off 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. 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 conditions listed above may 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 may appear heavier or lighter due to the conditions described in the list above.
E67017
Make sure the front passenger sensing system is operating properly. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator (page 48).
If the airbag readiness light is lit. do the following:
The driver and adult passengers should check for objects lodged underneath the front passenger seat. or cargo interfering with the seat.
If there are lodged objects. or cargo is interfering with the seat. take the following steps to remove the obstruction:
Pull the vehicle over. Switch the vehicle off. Driver and adult passengers should check for any objects lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat. Remove the obstruction(s) (if found). Restart the vehicle.

If it is necessary to modify an advanced front airbag system to accommodate a person with disabilities. contact the Ford Customer Relationship Center. See Getting the Services You Need (page 214).
SIDE AIRBAGS
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: Do not use accessory seat covers. The use of accessory seat covers may prevent the deployment of the side airbags and increase the risk of injury in an accident.
WARNING: Do not lean your head on the door. The side airbag could injure you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.
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: 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.
The side airbags are on the outermost side of the seat backrests of the front seats. In certain sideways crashes. the side airbags will be inflated. The airbag was designed to inflate between the door panel and occupant to further enhance the protection provided occupants in side impact crashes.

WARNING: Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of your vehicle (including hood. bumper system. frame. front end body structure. tow hooks and hood pins) may affect the performance of the airbag system. increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify or add equipment to the front end of your vehicle.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash and occupant sensors which provide information to the restraints control module. The restraints control module deploys (activates) the front seatbelt pretensioners. driver airbag. passenger airbag. knee airbag(s). seat mounted side airbags and Safety Canopy airbags. Based on the type of crash. the restraints control module will deploy the appropriate safety devices.
The restraints control module also monitors the readiness of the above safety devices plus the crash and occupant sensors. The readiness of the safety system is indicated by a warning indicator light in the instrument cluster or by a backup tone if the warning light is not working. Routine maintenance of the airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:
E67017
The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after you switch the ignition on.
The readiness light either flashes or stays lit. You will hear a series of five beeps. The tone pattern repeats periodically until the problem. the light or both are repaired.
If any of these things happen. even intermittently. have the supplemental restraint system serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced. the system may not function properly in the event of a crash.
The seatbelt pretensioners and the front airbag supplemental restraint system are designed to activate when the vehicle sustains frontal deceleration sufficient to cause the restraints control module to deploy a safety device.
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. belt usage) were not appropriate to activate these safety devices. The design of the front airbags is to activate only in frontal and near-frontal crashes (not rollovers. side impacts or rear impacts unless the crash causes sufficient frontal deceleration). The design of the seatbelt pretensioners is to activate in frontal. near-frontal. side crashes and rollovers.

Keys and Remote Controls
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to promote good driving habits. All but one of the keys programmed to the vehicle can be activated with these restricted modes.
Any keys that have not been programmed are referred to as administrator keys or admin keys. These can be used to:
Create a MyKey. Program configurable MyKey settings. Clear all MyKey features.
When you have programmed a MyKey. you can access the following information using the information display:
How many admin keys and MyKeys are programmed to your vehicle. The total distance your vehicle has traveled using a MyKey.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the same settings. You cannot program them individually.
Note: For vehicles with intelligent access with push-button start. when both a MyKey and an admin intelligent access key fob are present. the admin fob will be recognized by the vehicle while switching the ignition on to start the vehicle.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be changed by an admin key user:
Seatbelt reminder. You cannot disable this feature. The audio system will mute when the front seat occupants’ safety belts are not fastened. Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning activates earlier. giving the MyKey user more time to refuel.
Driver assist features. if equipped on your vehicle. are forced on: rear parking aid. blind spot information system (BLIS) with cross traffic alert. lane departure warning and forward collision warning system. Track Mode. if your vehicle is equipped with this feature. is restricted. Drag Strip. if your vehicle is equipped with this feature. is restricted.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Condensation in the Exterior Front Lamps and Rear Lamps
Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents. there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs. a fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are: The presence of a fine mist (no streaks. drip marks or large droplets). A fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.
Examples of unacceptable condensation are: A water puddle inside the lamp. Streaks. drip marks or large droplets present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation. have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
