Do not attempt to open the rear door when the rear safety belt is buckled as damage to the belt may occur. Refer to Safety restraints for children or Safety seats for children later in this chapter. In addition, all safety belts should be checked for proper function. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder.

All safety belt assemblies, including retractors, buckles, front safety belt buckle assemblies, buckle support assemblies slide bar-if equipped , shoulder belt height adjusters if equipped , shoulder belt guide on seatback if Ranger ran Owners Guide postfmt USA fus Page 83 Seating and Safety Restraints equipped , child safety seat tether anchors, and attaching hardware, should be inspected after a collision. Ford Motor Company recommends that all safety belt assemblies in use in vehicles involved in a collision be replaced.

However, if the collision 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. See your authorized dealer. To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit where they can be properly restrained. Several airbag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. Page Child Restraints Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt fit.

Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets unattended in your vehicle. Booster seats position a child so that safety belts fit better. They lift the child up so that the lap belt rests low across the hips and the knees bend comfortably. Install the child safety seat in a seating position with a tether anchor.

For more information on top tether straps, refer to Attaching child safety seats with tether straps. Page 6. Allow the belt to retract. The belt will click as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode. The tether anchors in your vehicle are located on the back of the front seat cushion. Position the child safety seat on the front seat cushion. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position.

The tether anchor is located on the rear lower portion of the passenger seat. Clip the tether strap to the anchor. If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision greatly increases. This increases traction which may enable you to safely drive over terrain and road conditions that a conventional two-wheel drive vehicle cannot. Department of Transportation-Tire quality grades: The U.

Department of Transportation requires Ford Motor Company to give you the following information about tire grades exactly as the government has written it. Page 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. 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. 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.

Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts or bulges. Tires can be damaged during off-road use, so inspection after off-road use is also recommended. Tire replacement requirements Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide a safe ride and handling capability. Page The tire pressure sensors mounted in the wheels originally installed on your vehicle are not designed to be used in aftermarket wheels.

Page Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires. 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.

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 Ranger ran Owners Guide postfmt USA fus Page The cold inflation pressure should never be set lower than the recommended pressure on the vehicle label. The tire suppliers may have additional markings, notes or warnings such as standard load, radial tubeless, etc.

Maximum Load Single lb. Refer to the payload description and graphic in the Vehicle loading — with and without a trailer section. 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. 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. 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.

Page Overloading or improperly loading your vehicle can contribute to loss of vehicle control and vehicle rollover.

Measuring the inside of the vehicle with the rear seat folded down, you have room for lb. Inspect these components carefully after any towing operation. Certain states require electric trailer brakes for trailers over a specified weight. The Ranger vehicle electrical system is not equipped to accommodate electric trailer brakes. This will also assist in transmission cooling. For additional information, refer to the Driving with a 5—speed automatic transmission section in the Driving chapter.

Note: This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio noise.

Make sure all occupants buckle their safety belts. For more information on safety belts and their proper usage, refer to the Seating and Safety Restraints chapter.

After an accident, if the engine cranks but does not start, this switch may have been activated. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire damage and could start a fire. Always disconnect the battery before servicing high current fuses. Replace the spare tire with a road tire as soon as possible. If the dissimilar spare tire or wheel is damaged, it should be replaced rather than repaired.

Assemble the jack handle to the lug wrench as shown in the illustrations. To assemble, slide parts together. To disconnect, depress button and pull apart. Turn the handle counterclockwise until tire is lowered to the ground and the cable is slightly slack. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel.

Block the diagonally opposite wheel. The jack is only meant for changing the tire. Failure to properly stow the spare tire may result in failure of the winch cable and loss of the spare tire. Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners. When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel.

Page Jump Starting Ensure that vent caps are tight and level. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any electrical surges.

Turn all other accessories off. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and run the engine at moderately increased speed. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle. Remove the jumper cable from the ground metal surface. Note: In the illustrations, lightning bolts are used to designate the assisting boosting battery. After the disabled vehicle has been started and the jumper cables removed, allow it to idle for several minutes so the engine computer can relearn its idle conditions.

Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not approved a slingbelt towing procedure. On 4x2 vehicles, it is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground and the rear wheels off the ground.
