Tailgate operation When open, the tailgate load should not exceed 500 lbs (227 kgs). If you want to load heavy items onto your vehicle, Ford recommends that you load them one at a time, directly on the bed floor to avoid damage to the tailgate or its supports. To release the tailgate: Open the tailgate as directed above, but support it to allow for slack in the cables at both sides. Use a coin or similar object to pry the spring clip (on each upper cable connector) past the head of the support screw. Doing so will allow you to center the wider opening in the connector over the screw head and disconnect it. If you disconnect the upper end of each cable, you can lower the tailgate completely. NOTE: Step bumpers or hitches may damage the tailgate if it is lowered completely.

Replacing the Batteries
The remote entry transmitter is powered by two coin type three-volt lithium 2016
batteries (included) that should last for several years of normal use. If you notice a significant decrease in operating range, the batteries should be replaced. Replacement batteries can be purchased at most pharmacies, watch stores or at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.NOTE: The operating range of the remote
entry system can also be affected by weather conditions (such as very cold temperatures) or structures around the vehicle (buildings, other vehicles, radio and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your vehicle.Opening the remote transmitter
The transmitter can be snapped apart to replace the batteries by twisting a thin coin between the two halves of the transmitter. DO NOT TAKE THE FRONT PART OF THE TRANSMITTER APART. When installing the new batteries, be sure to place the positive (+) side down as marked. Snap the two halves back together.

Replacing the batteries Replacing lost transmitters In the event a transmitter is lost, you should take all your vehicle’s transmitters to your dealer to have the remote entry system deprogrammed for the lost transmitter. This is necessary to prevent further unauthorized use of the lost transmitter. You can also purchase additional transmitters (up to 4 transmitters can be used) from your dealer. You will need to take all your transmitters to the dealer so they can program them to the remote entry system all at the same time. Illuminated Entry System (If equipped) This system will provide illumination of the vehicle’s interior courtesy lamps when either outside front door handle is pulled or when the Remote Entry System is used to unlock the door or sound the Personal Alarm. The system will automatically turn off after approximately 25
seconds or when the ignition is turned to the START or ACCESSORY position. NOTE: The inside lights will not turn off ifyou have turned them on with the dimmer knob or if any door is open.

Battery Saver (with Remote Entry — If equipped) When the ignition is turned off, the vehicle will turn off battery voltage to all of these lights after 45 minutes: glove box, engine compartment, overhead console, mirror, courtesy and interior (including cargo) lamps. This will prevent draining of the battery if these lights have been left on inadvertently or if a door is not completely closed. Battery voltage to these lamps will be restored when the remote entry transmitter is used, any door is opened, or the ignition key is turned on again.

Important Safety Belt Information The use of safety belts helps to restrain you and your passengers in case of a collision. In most states and in Canada the law requires their use.
Safety belts provide best restraint when:
RWARNING
All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always wear their safety belts, failure to do so may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.
the seatback is upright
the occupant is sitting upright (not slouched)
the lap belt is snug and low on the hips
the shoulder belt is snug against the chest
the knees are straight forward
To help you remember to fasten your safety belt, a warning light may come on and a chime may sound. See Safety Belt Warning Light and Chime in the Instrumentation chapter.
See the following sections in this chapter for directions on how to properly use these safety belts. Also see Safety Restraints for Children in this chapter for special instructions about using safety belts for children.

Dual Locking Mode Retractors
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual locking mode retractor on the shoulder belt portion of the combination lap/shoulder safety belt for front seat passenger and rear seat outboard passengers.
Vehicle Sensitive (Emergency) Locking Mode
In this operating mode, the shoulder belt retractor will allow the occupant freedom of movement, locking tight only on hard braking, hard cornering or impacts of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or more.
The front seat belt retractor can also be made to lock by pulling/jerking on the belt.

Automatic Locking Mode
In this operating mode, the shoulder belt retractor will be automatically locked and remain locked when the combination lap/shoulder safety belt is buckled, and does not allow the occupant freedom of movement. This mode provides the following: q A tight lap/shoulder belt fit on occupant q Child seat/infant carrier installation restraint This mode must be used when installing a child seat on the front passenger seat and rear outboard seats where dual locking retractors are provided.
To switch the retractor from the “emergency locking mode” to the “automatic locking mode,” perform the following steps:
1. Buckle the lap/shoulder combination belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and
pull downward until all of the belt is extracted, and when allowed to retract, a clicking sound will be heard. At this time, the belt retractor is in the “automatic locking mode” (child restraint mode).
3. A clicking sound will continue to be heard
as the belt is allowed to retract. This indicates that the retractor is in the “automatic locking mode.”

How to cancel the Automatic Locking Mode:
Disconnect the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to completely retract to cancel the Automatic Locking Mode and be in the Vehicle Sensitive (Emergency) Mode.
NOTE: When the combination lap/shoulder
belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract completely, the retractor will switch back to the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode. See the detailed instructions under Safety Seats for Children in this chapter.
Combination Lap and Shoulder Belts While your vehicle is in motion, the combination lap and shoulder belt adjusts to your movement. However, if you brake hard, corner hard or if your truck receives an impact of 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the combination lap/shoulder belt locks and helps reduce your forward movement. The front seat belt systems can also be made to lock by jerking on the shoulder belt.
NOTE: The rear belts cannot be made to lock
up by jerking on shoulder belt.
After you get into your vehicle, close the door and lock it. Then adjust the seat to the position that suits you best.
To fasten the belt
Pull the combination lap/shoulder belt from the retractor so that the shoulder portion of the belt crosses your shoulder and chest. Be sure the belt is not twisted. If it is, remove the twist. Insert

Safety Belt Extension Assembly
For some people, the safety belt may be too short even when it is fully extended. You can add about eight inches (20 cm) to the belt length with a safety belt extension assembly (part number 611C22). Safety belt extensions are available at no cost from your dealer.
Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on the label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too short for you when fully extended. Do not use extension to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso.

RWARNING
Failure to follow these instructions will affect the performance of the safety belts and increase the risk of personal injury.
Safety Restraints for Children In the U.S. and Canada, you are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle — this generally includes children who are four years old or younger and who weigh 40 pounds (18 kg) or less — you must put them in safety seats that are made specially for children. Safety belts alone do not provide maximum protection for these children. Check your local and state laws for specific requirements.
RWARNING
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 collision.
RWARNING
Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions included with the safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or collision.
When possible, put children in the rear seat of your vehicle. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.

RWARNING
Do not install a child seat in a center facing jump seat.
RWARNING
Safety belts 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.
RWARNING
Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets unattended in your vehicle.
Safety Belts for Children
Children who are too large for child safety seats should always wear safety belts. (See instructions with your child seat, or contact its manufacturer, to determine maximum size of child that will safely fit in the seat.)
RWARNING
If safety belts are not properly worn and adjusted as described, the risk of serious injury to the child in a collision will be much greater.
If the shoulder belt portion of one of the lap and shoulder belts can be positioned so that it does not cross or rest in front of the child’s face or neck, the child should wear the lap and shoulder belt. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt fit.

RWARNING
If the shoulder belt cannot be properly positioned, move the child to one of the seats with a lap belt only (preferably in a rear seat) and use the lap belt.
Lap belts and the lap belt portion of lap and shoulder belts should always be worn snugly and below the hips, touching the child’s thighs.
RWARNING
Children should always ride with the seatback in the fully upright position.
Safety Seats for Children
Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight of the child. Always follow the safety seat manufacturer’s instructions when installing and using the safety seat.
Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position which is capable of providing a tether anchorage. For more information on top tether straps see Attaching Safety Seats With Tether Straps in this chapter.
When installing a child safety seat, be sure to use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position making sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle and for a shoulder/lap belt combination with a sliding tongue make sure the retractor is in the “automatic locking mode.”
All child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or by the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt.

Attaching Safety Seats With Tether Straps General Instructions Some manufacturers make safety seats that include an upper tether strap that goes over the seatback and attaches to an anchoring point. Other manufacturers offer the tether strap as an accessory. Contact the manufacturer of your child safety seat for information about ordering a tether strap. You can install a tether strap anchor bracket to the cab inner back panel by using a tether anchor bracket kit (613D20) available at no charge from any Ford dealer. Read and carefully follow the instructions provided with the kit for installation of the child tether strap anchor. Follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions to attach the tether strap to the tether bracket. Ford recommends placement of tethered safety seats in a rear seating position (Crew Cab and Super Cab with forward facing rear seat only) with the tether strap installed to the tether anchoring point as shown in the instructions provided with the child tether strap anchor kit.
RWARNING
Only use the tether attachment hole locations shown in the illustrations. The tether anchor may not perform properly if the wrong mounting location is used.

*[SS36400(F )03/96]
*[SS36500(F )01/96]
If a tethered seat is installed in the front seat, Ford recommends placement of the tethered safety seat in the center front seating position, with the tether strap secured to the center rear lap belt tongue or to the webbing of the buckled center rear lap belt behind the child safety seat. The rear lap/shoulder safety belts should not be used to secure the tether strap of a safety seat located in the front seat.
RWARNING
Follow these precautions to decrease the chance of injury in an accident.
In SuperCabs equipped with Center Facing Jump Seats, the tether strap anchor bracket should be installed only at the center of the cab’s back panel with the child seat in the front center seating position. Installing an anchor bracket at the right rear of the cab may increase risk of injury to an occupant of the right rear center facing jump seat in the event of a collision or sudden stop. If a tethered child seat is installed in the right front seating position, secure the tether strap to the webbing of the buckled right rear lap belt.
RWARNING
Do not install a child seat in a center facing jump seat.

Safety Belt Maintenance Check your safety belt system periodically to make sure that it works properly and isn’t damaged. If the webbing shows any wear, nicks or cuts, have it examined by a qualified technician to determine if replacement is necessary. Always have your safety belt system checked after a collision by a qualified technician. All safety belt assemblies, including retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle support assemblies (slide bar) (if so equipped), child safety seat tether bracket assemblies (if so equipped), and attaching hardware, should be inspected after any collision. Ford recommends that all safety belt assemblies used in vehicles involved in a collision be replaced. However, if the collision was minor and a qualified technician finds that the belts do not show damage and continue to operate properly, they do not need to be replaced. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.

Starting
Fuel-Injected Engines NOTE: For owners of diesel-powered vehicles, refer to the Diesel Engine Owners Guide Supplement for information on starting your vehicle.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, the most important thing to remember is to avoid pressing down on the accelerator before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have problems getting your vehicle started. See Starting Your Engine in this chapter for details about when to use the accelerator while you start your vehicle.
Because your vehicle’s engine is electronically controlled by a computer, some control conditions are maintained by power from the battery. If you ever disconnect the battery, install a new battery, or experience a dead battery, you must allow the computer to “relearn” its idle conditions before your vehicle will idle at its best. To let the engine do this, apply the parking brake, put the gearshift in P (Park) (automatic transmission) or Neutral (manual transmission), turn off all the accessories, and start the vehicle. Let the engine idle for at least one minute.
If you do not let the engine relearn its idle, the idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the idle is relearned. Your vehicle will eventually relearn its idle while you drive it, but it takes much longer than if you use the previous procedure.

Starting your vehicle Preparing to Start Your Vehicle
RWARNING
Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door before you start the engine.
Before you start your vehicle, do the following:
1. Make sure all occupants in the vehicle
buckle their safety belts. See Safety Restraints in the Index for more details.
2. Make sure the headlamps and other
accessories are turned off when starting.
3.
4.
If you have an automatic transmission, make sure that the gearshift lever is in P (Park) and the parking brake is set before you turn the key.
If you have a manual transmission, make sure that the parking brake is fully set, push the clutch pedal to the floor, and put the gearshift into Neutral before you turn the key. (Remember, the starter will operate only if the clutch pedal is pushed in all the way).
Testing the Warning Lights
Before you start your vehicle, you should test the warning lights on the instrument panel to make sure that they work. Refer to the Instrumentation chapter.
If your Brake Warning Light does light up with the key in the ON position, you may not have fully released the parking brake or the brake fluid may be low.

Starting Your Engine
To start your engine:
1. Follow the steps under Preparing to Start
Your Vehicle at the beginning of this section.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
3. DO NOT depress the accelerator pedal when
starting your engine. DO NOT use the accelerator while the vehicle is parked.
4. Turn the key to the START position
(cranking) until the engine starts. Allow the key to return to the ON position after the engine has started. If you have difficulty in turning the key, rotate the steering wheel slightly because it may be binding.
For a cold engine: q At temperatures 10˚F (-12˚C) and below: If
the engine does not start in fifteen (15) seconds on the first try, turn the key to OFF, wait approximately ten (10) seconds so you do not flood the engine, then try again.
q At temperatures above 10˚F (-12˚C): If the engine does not start in five (5) seconds on the first try, turn the key to OFF, wait approximately ten (10) seconds so you do not flood the engine, then try again.
q Do not hold the key in the START position for more than fifteen (15) seconds at a time.

For a warm engine: q Do not hold the key in the START position for more than five (5) seconds at a time. If the engine does not start within five (5) seconds on the first try, turn the key to the OFF position. Wait a few seconds after the starter stops, then try again.
Whenever you start your vehicle, release the key as soon as the engine starts. Excessive cranking could damage the starter.
After you start the engine, let it idle for a few seconds. Keep your foot on the brake pedal and put the gearshift lever in gear. Release the parking brake. Slowly release the brake pedal and drive away in the normal manner.
NOTE: Your vehicle is equipped with a
brake-shift interlock feature. This feature prevents you from shifting from P (Park) unless you have the brake pedal depressed. (The ignition must be in the ON position.) If you cannot shift from P (Park) with the brake pedal depressed:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the key.
3.
Insert the key and rotate it one position clockwise (ignition in the OFF position).
4. Apply the brake pedal and shift to N
(Neutral). (If the vehicle is shifted back to P [Park], you must repeat the previous steps.)
5. Start the vehicle.
