ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Ford. We

recommend that you take some time to

get to know your vehicle by reading this

manual. The more that you know about

your vehicle, the greater the safety and

pleasure you will get from driving it.

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in

loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that

you use extreme caution when using any

device that may take your focus off the

road. Your primary responsibility is the safe

operation of your vehicle. We recommend

against the use of any hand-held device

while driving and encourage the use of

voice-operated systems when possible.

Make sure you are aware of all applicable

local laws that may affect the use of

electronic devices while driving.

Note: This manual describes product

features and options available throughout

the range of available models, sometimes

even before they are generally available. It

may describe options not fitted to the

vehicle you have purchased.

Note: Some of the illustrations in this

manual may show features as used in

different models, so they may appear

different to you on your vehicle.

Note: Always use and operate your vehicle

in line with all applicable laws and

regulations.

Note: Pass on this manual when selling

your vehicle. It is an integral part of your

vehicle.

This manual may qualify the location of a

component as left-hand side or right-hand

side. The side is determined when facing

forward in the seat.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

RECOMMENDATION

Your vehicle has been built to the highest

standards using quality parts. We

recommend that you demand the use of

genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts

whenever your vehicle requires scheduled

maintenance or repair. You can clearly

identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts

by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or

Motorcraft branding on the parts or their

packaging.

Scheduled Maintenance and

Mechanical Repairs

One of the best ways for you to make sure

that your vehicle provides years of service

is to have it maintained in line with our

recommendations using parts that

conform to the specifications detailed in

this Owner’s Manual. Genuine Ford and

Motorcraft parts meet or exceed these

specifications.

Collision Repairs

We hope that you never experience a

collision, but accidents do happen. Genuine

Ford replacement collision parts meet our

stringent requirements for fit, finish,

structural integrity, corrosion protection

and dent resistance. During vehicle

development we validate these parts

deliver the intended level of protection as

a whole system. A great way to know for

sure you are getting this level of protection

is to use genuine Ford replacement

collision parts.

Warranty on Replacement Parts

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement

parts are the only replacement parts that

benefit from a Ford Warranty. Damage

caused to your vehicle as a result of the

failure of non-Ford parts may not be

covered by the Ford Warranty. For

additional information, refer to the terms

and conditions of the Ford Warranty.

SPECIAL NOTICES

If converting or modifying your vehicle from

production specification, please see your

authorised Ford dealer.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS

EQUIPMENT

Using mobile communications equipment

is becoming increasingly important in the

conduct of business and personal affairs.

However, you must not compromise your

own or others’ safety when using such

equipment. Mobile communications can

enhance personal safety and security when

appropriately used, particularly in

emergency situations. Safety must be

paramount when using mobile

communications equipment to avoid

negating these benefits. Mobile

communication equipment includes, but

is not limited to, cellular phones, pagers,

portable email devices, text messaging

devices and portable two-way radios.

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in

loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that

you use extreme caution when using any

device that may take your focus off the

road. Your primary responsibility is the safe

operation of your vehicle. We recommend

against the use of any hand-held device

while driving and encourage the use of

voice-operated systems when possible.

Make sure you are aware of all applicable

local laws that may affect the use of

electronic devices while driving.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

WARNINGS

Children must always be properly

restrained.

This section provides useful

information on the installation and

safe use of child restraints. Ford

strongly recommends that you read and

understand this section before carrying

children in your vehicle.

It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that

the children are seated in suitable child

restraints prescribed by the laws of the

State or Territory in which the vehicle is

operated.

If you are in any doubt about the laws that

apply in your location, please consult your

local Authorised Ford Dealer or Local

Approved Child Restraint Fitting Station

for assistance.

WARNING

EXTREME HAZARD! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint on a

seat protected by an airbag in front

of it.

E211048

WARNINGS

Seatbelts and seats can become hot

in a vehicle that has been closed up

in sunny weather, they could burn a

small child. Check seat covers and buckles

before you place a child anywhere near

them.

Read and follow the child restraint

manufacturer’s instructions when

you are fitting a child restraint.

Do not alter or modify child restraints

in any way.

Do not hold a child on your lap when

the vehicle is moving.

Do not leave children unattended in

your vehicle.

On hot days, the temperature inside

the vehicle can rise very quickly.

Exposure of people or animals to

these high temperatures for even a short

time can cause death or serious heat

related injuries, including brain damage.

Small children are particularly at risk.

Destroy the child restraint if it has

been in a severe crash, even if no

damage is visible.

SELECTING A CHILD

RESTRAINT SYSTEM

To provide protection, a child restraint

system should meet three requirements.

14

Ranger (), EB3B-19G219-ZAB enAUS

Child Safety

1. The child restraint system complies

with Australian Standard AS1754.

Infants and children must be properly

restrained at all times in an approved

child restraint which conforms to

Australian Standards AS1754 - 2004

or later. Look for the Australian

Standard Approval Mark on the child

restraint.

2. The child restraint must be suitable

for the size and weight of the child

and must be properly fitted and

adjusted. Use the child restraint

exactly as shown in the instructions

provided with the child restraint. If you

have any doubts, contact the child

restraint manufacturer or consult an

approved Restraint Fitting Station.

3. The child restraint system should

fit the vehicle seating position (or

positions) where it will be used. Due

to variations in the design of child

restraint systems, vehicle seats and

seatbelts, all child restraint systems

may not fit all seating positions. Before

purchasing a child restraint system, it

is recommended that the child restraint

system is tested in the specific vehicle

seating position (or positions) where

it is intended to be used. If a previously

purchased child restraint does not fit,

you may need to purchase a different

one that will fit.

INSTALLING CHILD

RESTRAINTS

WARNINGS

EXTREME HAZARD! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint on a

seat protected by an airbag in front

of it.

Incorrectly fitted child restraints may

swing, tip or come away causing

death or injury.

WARNINGS

Do not use a child restraint if the

tether strap falls into a split in the

vehicle seat back or falls off the edge

of the vehicle seat.

After installing a child restraint system,

push and pull the system forward and back

and from side to side to verify that it is

secured.

Be sure to read and follow the instructions

provided by the child restraint

manufacturer. If you have any doubts

contact the child restraint manufacturer

or consult an approved Restraint Fitting

Station. Your automobile club or local

vehicle registration authority can provide

location details of fitting stations.

When installing the child restraint

attaching clip to the anchor fitting, raise

the head restraint (where fitted) and pass

the tether strap between the head restraint

supports. This will prevent the tether strap

from falling off the outboard edge of the

seating positions.

E166723

Note: Side curtain air bags (where fitted)

will not interfere with a properly installed

child restraint system or booster seat,

because they are designed to inflate

downward from the headliner above the

doors along the side window openings.

15

Ranger (), EB3B-19G219-ZAB enAUS

Child Safety

When a child restraint system is not being

used, either remove it and store it in a safe

place, or make sure it is properly secured.

An unsecured child restraint system can

be thrown around the vehicle in a collision

or sudden stop and injure someone.

CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE

LOCATIONS

Upper (top tether) anchorages - Double

Cab

WARNING

WARNING: child restraint

anchorages are designed to

withstand only those loads imposed

by correctly fitted child restraints. Under

no circumstances are they to be used for

adult seatbelts, harnesses or for attaching

other items or equipment to the vehicle.

There are two child restraint anchorage

points on the rear panel of the Double Cab,

one behind each outboard seating position

in the locations shown below. Do not fit a

child restraint to the centre rear seat.

E136844

1. Pull the release strap upwards and

move the seat back forwards. (When

returning the seat back to the upright

position, make sure it is securely

latched by attempting to move it back

and forth).

2. Remove the two small rectangular

cutouts from the rear cloth trim to

reveal the two child restraint anchor

points (a hole with an internal screw

thread).

The following illustration shows how to

install anchor fittings to the anchorage

points. Child restraint anchor fittings

conforming to Australian Standard

AS1754-2004 (or later) can be purchased

5mm

E134044

Install the standard 30mm bolt and the

5mm spacer, together with the anchor

fitting and lock washer supplied with the

child restraint as illustrated.

The bolt thread should protrude at least

10mm beyond the spacer with the lock

washer, anchor fitting and spacer

assembled together.

Tighten the bolt with the anchor fitting

facing toward the front of the vehicle as

shown.

WARNING

Do not over-tighten the attachment

bolt. Maximum torque: 20 Nm

The diagram below shows the correct

installation and orientation of the

attaching clip and anchor fitting.

E212688

Illustrations of the restraint attaching clip

and anchor fitting are only applicable to

child restraints conforming to Australian

Standard AS1754-2004 (or later) . If your

child restraint does not have an approved

latched hook attachment clip as shown,

you should consult an approved Restraint

Fitting Station.

WARNINGS

Always ensure that the attaching clip

is properly engaged with the anchor

fitting and the tether strap length is

adjusted to remove any slack.

Always ensure that the locking

mechanism of the rear seat back is

fully engaged when in the upright

position, by attempting to pull it down

again.

Do not attach a tether strap to

anything other than the correct

tether anchor point.

Make sure that the seat back is

secure and fully engaged in the

catch.

Make sure that the tether strap

tightening mechanism remains

accessible when the seat back is fully

engaged in the catch.
