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.

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.

Introduction
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.
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).

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.
