SECURILOCK/H23006 PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM SecuriLock /H23041passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition. Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be purchased from your authorized dealer. The authorized dealer canprogram your spare keys to your vehicle or you can program the keysyourself. Refer to Programming spare keys for instructions on how to program the coded key. Note: The SecuriLock /H23041passive anti-theft system is not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Note: Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent theseobjects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. Theseobjects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause amomentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting theengine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects onthe key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine. Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.Locks and Security 144 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

Anti-theft indicator The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster. •When the ignition is in the off position, the indicator will flash once every two seconds toindicate the SecuriLock /H23041system is functioning as a theft deterrent. •When the ignition is in the on position, the indicator will glow for three seconds to indicate normal system functionality. If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock /H23041system, the indicator will flash rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the on position. If thisoccurs, turn the ignition off then back to on to make sure there was noelectronic interference with the programmed key. If the vehicle doesn’t start, try to start it with the 2nd programmed key and if successfulcontact your authorized dealership for key replacement. If the indicatorstill flashes rapidly or glows steadily, the vehicle will not start, contactyour authorized dealer as soon as possible for service. Automatic arming The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off position. Automatic disarming Switching the ignition to the on position with a coded key disarms the vehicle. Replacement keys If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. Thekey codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys willneed to be programmed. Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent anyinconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additionalspare or replacement keys. Programming spare keys A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only SecuriLock /H23041keys can be used.

The indicator light will illuminate when the heated seats have been activated. SAFETY RESTRAINTSPersonal Safety System™ The Personal Safety System provides an improved overall level of frontal crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help furtherreduce the risk of airbag-related injuries. The system is able to analyzedifferent occupant classifications and conditions and crash severitybefore activating the appropriate safety devices to help better protect arange of occupants in a variety of frontal crash situations. Your vehicle’s Personal Safety System consists of:•Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints. •Front outboard safety belts with pretensioners, energy management retractors, and safety belt usage sensors. •Driver’s seat position sensor. •Front crash severity sensor. •Front passenger sensing system •Passenger Airbag Off indicator light. •Restraints Control Module (RCM) with impact and safing sensors. •Restraint system warning light and back-up tone. •The electrical wiring for the airbags, crash sensor(s), safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt usage sensors, driver seat position sensor, and indicator lights. How does the Personal Safety System™ work? The Personal Safety System can adapt the deployment strategy of your vehicle’s safety devices according to crash severity and occupantclassification and conditions. A collection of crash and occupant sensorsprovides information to the Restraints Control Module (RCM). During acrash, the RCM may activate the safety belt pretensioners and/or eithernone, one, or both stages of the dual-stage airbag supplemental restraintsbased on crash severity and occupant classification and conditions. The fact that the pretensioners or airbags did not activate for both front seat occupants in a collision does not mean that something is wrong withthe system. Rather, it means the Personal Safety System determined theaccident conditions (crash severity, belt usage, etc.) were notSeating and Safety Restraints 166 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

appropriate to activate these safety devices. Front airbags are designed to activate only in frontal and near-frontal collisions, not rollovers,side-impacts, or rear-impacts unless the collision causes sufficientlongitudinal deceleration. Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints The dual-stage airbags offer the capability to tailor the level of airbag inflation energy. A lower, less forceful energy level is provided for morecommon, moderate-severity impacts. A higher energy level is used forthe most severe impacts. Refer to Airbag Supplemental Restraints (SRS) section in this chapter. Front crash severity sensor The front crash severity sensor enhances the ability to detect the severity of an impact. Positioned up front, it provides valuableinformation early in the crash event on the severity of the impact. Thisallows your Personal Safety System to distinguish between differentlevels of crash severity and modify the deployment strategy of thedual-stage airbags and safety belt pretensioners. Driver’s seat position sensor The driver’s seat position sensor allows your Personal Safety System to tailor the deployment level of the driver dual-stage airbag based on seatposition. The system is designed to help protect smaller drivers sittingclose to the driver airbag by providing a lower airbag output level. Front passenger sensing system For airbags to do their job they must inflate with great force, and this force can pose a potentially deadly risk to occupants that are very closeto the airbag when it begins to inflate. For some occupants, like infantsin rear-facing child seats, this occurs because they are initially sittingvery close to the airbag. For other occupants, this occurs when theoccupant is not properly restrained by safety belts or child safety seatsand they move forward during pre-crash braking. The most effective wayto reduce the risk of unnecessary injuries is to make sure all occupantsare properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children aremuch safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than inthe front. WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NEVER place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active air bag. If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, movethe seat all the way back.Seating and Safety Restraints 167 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

WARNING: Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back seat and always properly use appropriate child restraints. WARNING: When possible, all children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position. The front passenger sensing system can automatically turn off the passenger front airbag when a rear facing child seat, a forward-facingchild restraint, or a booster seat is detected. Even with this technology,parents are STRONGLY encouraged to always properly restrain children in the rear seat. The sensor also turns off the passenger front airbag andpassenger seat-mounted side airbag when the passenger seat is empty. When the front passenger seat is occupied and the sensing system has turned off the passenger’s frontal airbag, the “pass airbag off” indicatorwill light and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger frontalairbag is off. See Front passenger sensing system in the Airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) section of this chapter. Front safety belt usage sensors The front safety belt usage sensors detect whether or not the driver and front outboard passenger safety belts are fastened. This informationallows your Personal Safety System to tailor the airbag deployment andsafety belt pretensioner activation depending upon safety belt usage.Refer to Safety belt usage sensors later in this chapter. Front outboard safety belt pretensioners The safety belt pretensioners at the front outboard seating positions are designed to tighten the safety belts firmly against the occupant’s bodyduring frontal collisions, and in side collisions and rollovers. This helpsincrease the effectiveness of the safety belts. In frontal collisions, thesafety belt pretensioners can be activated alone or, if the collision is ofsufficient severity, together with the front airbags. Front outboard safety belt energy management retractors The front outboard safety belt energy management retractors allow webbing to be pulled out of the retractor in a gradual and controlledmanner in response to the occupant’s forward momentum. This helpsreduce the risk of force-related injuries to the occupant’s chest bylimiting the load on the occupant. Refer to Energy management retractors section in this chapter.Seating and Safety Restraints 168 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

Determining if the Personal Safety System is operational The Personal Safety System uses a warning light in the instrument cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer to the Warning lights and chimes section in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the Personal Safety System is notrequired. The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors its own internal circuits and the circuits for the airbag supplemental restraints, crash sensor(s),safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt buckle sensors, and the driverseat position sensor. In addition, the RCM also monitors the restraintswarning light in the instrument cluster. A difficulty with the system isindicated by one or more of the following. •The warning light will either flash or stay lit. •The warning light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on. •A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat periodically until the problem and warning light are repaired. If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the Personal Safety System serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unlessserviced, the system may not function properly in the event of acollision. Safety restraints precautions WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit in a rear seating position where they can 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 collision. WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is provided.Seating and Safety Restraints 169 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

WARNING: It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, 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 equippedwith seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in aseat and using a safety belt properly. WARNING: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a safety belt. WARNING: Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that are designed to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belton the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under thearm. 2) Never swing the safety belt around your neck over the insideshoulder. 3) Never use a single belt for more than one person. WARNING: When possible, all children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position. WARNING: 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 childanywhere near them. WARNING: Front and rear seat occupants, including pregnant women, should wear safety belts for optimum protection in an accident.Seating and Safety Restraints 170 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

Combination lap and shoulder belts 1. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest tothe direction the tongue is comingfrom) until you hear a snap and feelit latch. Make sure the tongue issecurely fastened in the buckle. 2. To unfasten, push the release button and remove the tongue fromthe buckle. Center front safety belt (Regular Cab center and CrewCab rear center seating positions only) WARNING: Always use both lap and shoulder safety belt in the Regular Cab center seating position. If you carry large cargo behind the seat or items that might damage orsoil the belt, detach the belt from the seat: •Release the mini-buckle by inserting a key or similar object into the slot.Seating and Safety Restraints 171 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

If the belt has been disconnected to carry large objects behind the seat, reconnect it as follows: •Buckle the small tongue on the end of the belt into the mini-buckle on the driver’s side.The belt is now ready for use.This mini-buckle should staybuckled at all times unlesscargo-carrying makes it necessaryto detach the belt. Safety belt with cinch tongue (Regular Cab center only) The cinch tongue will slide up and down the belt webbing when the belt is stowed or while putting safety belts on. When the lap/shoulder safetybelt is buckled, the cinch tongue will allow the lap portion to beshortened, but pinches the webbing to keep the lap portion from gettinglonger. The cinch tongue is designed to slip during a crash, so alwayswear the shoulder belt properly and don’t allow any slack in either the lap or shoulder portions. Before you can reach and latch a combination lap and shoulder belt having a cinch tongue into the buckle, you may have to lengthen the lapbelt portion of it. 1. To lengthen the lap belt, pull some webbing out of the shoulderbelt retractor. 2. While holding the webbing below the tongue, grasp the tip (metalportion) of the tongue so that it isparallel to the webbing and slide thetongue upward. 3. Provide enough lap belt length so that the tongue can reach the buckle. How to fasten the cinch tongue (Regular Cab center only) 1. Pull the combination lap and shoulder belt from the retractor so that the shoulder belt portion of the safety belt crosses your shoulder andchest.Seating and Safety Restraints 172 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

2. Be sure the belt is not twisted. If the belt is twisted, remove the twist. 3. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for your seating position until you hear a snap and feel it latch. 4. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened to the buckle by pulling on the tongue. WARNING: The lap belt should fit snugly and as low as possible around the hips, not across the waist. WARNING: Front and rear seat occupants, including pregnant women, should wear safety belts for optimum protection in an accident. WARNING: Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that are designed to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belton the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under thearm. 2) Never swing the safety belt around your neck over the insideshoulder. 3) Never use a single belt for more than one person. While you are fastened in the safety belt, the combination lap/shoulderbelt with a cinch tongue adjusts to your movement. However, if youbrake hard, turn hard, or if your vehicle receives an impact of 5 mph(8 km/h) or more, the safety belt will become locked and help reduceyour forward movement. Lap belts Adjusting the lap belt (Front center seat position SuperCab and SuperCrew only) WARNING: The lap belt should fit snugly and as low as possible around the hips, not across the waist. The front center lap belt tongue is designed to fit only in the correctbuckle. The tongue will not securely latch if you attempt to use it in anyof the outboard seating position buckles. To ensure that you have usedthe correct buckle you should hear a snap and feel it latch.Seating and Safety Restraints 173 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

•Front center lap belt The lap belt does not adjust automatically. Insert the tongue into the correct buckle (the buckle closest to thedirection the tongue is comingfrom). To lengthen the belt, turn thetongue at a right angle to the beltand pull across your lap until itreaches the buckle. To tighten thebelt, pull the loose end of the beltthrough the tongue until it fitssnugly across the hips. Shorten and fasten the belt when not in use. For long term storage, the lap belt can be placed into a pocket found on the inside lid of the storage compartment. To store the lap belt, do thefollowing: 1. Open the storage compartment lid.Seating and Safety Restraints 174 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

2. Place the lap belt into the pocket found on the inside lid of thestorage compartment. 3. Fold the center buckle into the storage compartment. 4. Close the lid. Before a passenger sits in the front center seat, make sure the lap belt and buckle are both placed in their in-use position, and no longerstowed. Always fasten your seat belt when riding in the front center seat. Energy management retractors Your vehicle has a safety belt system equipped with energy management retractors at the driver and front outboard passenger seating positions. An energy management retractor is a device which pays out webbing in a controlled manner. This feature is designed to help further reduce therisk of force-related injuries to the occupant. Safety belt systems equipped with an energy management retractor must be replaced if they were in use during a frontal collision which resultedin deployment of the frontal airbags. Refer to the Safety belt maintenance section in this chapter. The front and rear safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lapand shoulder belts. The front passenger outboard and rear outboard seatsafety belts have two types of locking modes described below: Vehicle sensitive mode The vehicle sensitive mode is the normal retractor mode, allowing free shoulder belt length adjustment to your movements and locking inresponse to vehicle movement. For example, if the driver brakessuddenly or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact ofapproximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the combination safety belts willlock to help reduce forward movement of the driver and passengers. The front outboard safety belts can also be made to lock manually by quickly pulling on the shoulder belt. Rear safety belts (if equipped) canalso be made to lock up by pulling quickly on the belt. Automatic locking mode In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt.Seating and Safety Restraints 175 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt, or the Regular Cab center safety belt. When to use the automatic locking mode •Anytime a child safety seat is installed in a front outboard passenger seating position in a Regular Cab/ SuperCab/ SuperCrew or any rear seating position of a SuperCab or SuperCrew. The Regular Cab frontcenter seatbelt has a cinch mechanism. Refer to Safety belt with cinch tongue (Regular Cab center only) earlier in this chapter. Children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in arear seat whenever possible. Refer to Safety restraints for children orSafety seats for children later in this chapter. How to use the automatic locking mode 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. •Right front passenger seat •Rear seats (if equipped)Seating and Safety Restraints 176 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire beltis extracted. 3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic lockingmode. How to disengage the automatic locking mode Disconnect the combination lap/shoulder belt and allow it to retract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate thevehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode. WARNING: After any vehicle collision, the safety belt systems at all seating positions (except the driver position, which does not have this feature) must be checked by an authorized dealer toverify that the automatic locking retractor feature for child seats is stillfunctioning properly. In addition, all safety belts should be checked forproper function. WARNING: BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if the safety belt assembly “automatic locking retractor” feature or any other safety belt function is not operatingproperly when checked by an authorized dealer. Failure to replace theBelt and Retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury incollisions. Safety belt pretensioner Your vehicle is equipped with safety belt pretensioners at the driver and right front passenger seating positions. The safety belt pretensioner removes some slack from the safety belt system at the start of a crash. The safety belt pretensioner uses thesame crash sensor system as the front airbags and Safety Canopy /H23041 System. When the safety belt pretensioner deploys, the lap and shoulderbelt are tightened.Seating and Safety Restraints 177 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

When the Safety Canopy /H23041System and/or the front airbags are activated, the safety belt pretensioners for the driver and right front passenger seating positions will be activated when the respective seatbelt isproperly buckled. WARNING: The driver and the right front passenger safety belt system (including retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be replaced if the vehicle is involved in a collision that results indeployment of front airbags or Safety Canopy /H23041System and safety belt pretensioners. WARNING: Failure to replace the safety belt assembly under the above conditions could result in severe personal injuries in the event of a collision. Refer to the Safety belt maintenance section in this chapter. Safety belt usage sensors The driver and front outboard passenger safety belt buckles are equipped with sensors that detect if the safety belts are fastened. Thesensors provide information to the Personal Safety System /H23041which can then adapt the airbag deployment or safety belt pretensioner activationbased upon safety belt usage. WARNING: The Personal Safety System /H23041provides the most benefit to belted occupants. The system monitors and tailors the airbag deployment based upon safety belt usage. Failure to properlywear your safety belt will increase your risk of injury.Seating and Safety Restraints 178 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

Belt-Minder /H23006 The Belt-Minder /H23041feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature provides additional reminders by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warninglamp in the instrument cluster when the driver’s and front passenger’ssafety belt is unbuckled. The Belt-Minder /H23041feature 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 theBelt-Minder /H23041feature for objects placed in the front passenger seat, warnings will only be given to large front seat occupants as determinedby the front passenger sensing system. Both the driver’s and passenger’s safety belt usages are monitored and either may activate the Belt-Minder /H23041feature. The warnings are the same for the driver and the front passenger. If the Belt-Minder /H23041warnings have expired (warnings for approximately five minutes) for one occupant(driver or front passenger), the other occupant can still activate theBelt-Minder /H23041feature. Note: If you are using MyKey™, the Belt-Minder /H23041warning will not expire. Refer to MyKey™ in the Locks and security chapter. When the Belt-Minder /H23041feature is activated, the safety belt warning light illuminates and the warning chime sounds for six seconds every30 seconds, repeating for approximately five minutes or until the safetybelts are buckled. The Belt-Minder /H23041feature uses two different warning chimes. During the first minute of activation, the warning chime will sound once every second. The remaining warning chimes will sound twice every secondwhile the system is activated.Seating and Safety Restraints 180 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

The following are reasons most often given for not wearing safety belts: (All statistics based on U.S. data) Reasons given... Consider... “Crashes are rare events” 36700 crashes occur every day. The more we drive, the more we are exposed to “rare” events, even forgood drivers. 1i n4o fu sw i l lb e seriously injured in a crash duringour lifetime. “I’m not going far” 3o f4fatal crashes occur within 25 miles of home. “Belts are uncomfortable” We design our safety belts to enhance comfort. If you are uncomfortable -try different positions for the safetybelt upper anchorage and seatbackwhich should be as upright aspossible; this can improve comfort. “I was in a hurry” Prime time for an accident.Belt-Minder /H23041reminds us to take a few seconds to buckle up. “Safety belts don’t work” Safety belts, when used properly, reduce risk of death to front seat occupants by 45% in cars, and by 60% in light trucks. “Traffic is light” Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur insingle-vehicle crashes, many when no other vehicles are around. “Belts wrinkle my clothes” Possibly, but a serious crash can do much more than wrinkle your clothes,particularly if you are unbelted. “The people I’m with don’twear belts”Set the example, teen deaths occur 4times more often in vehicles withTWO or MORE people. Children andyounger brothers/sisters imitatebehavior they see.Seating and Safety Restraints 182 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

Reasons given... Consider... “I have an airbag” Airbags offer greater protection when used with safety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed to inflate in rear andside crashes or rollovers. “I’d rather be thrown clear” Not a good idea. People who are ejected are 40 times more likelyto DIE. Safety belts help prevent ejection, WE CAN’T “PICK OURCRASH”. WARNING: Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt or insert a latchplate into the buckle to avoid the Belt-Minder /H23041chime. To do so may adversely affect the performance of the vehicle’s airbag system. Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder /H23006feature The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder /H23041are deactivated/activated independently. When deactivating/activating one seating position, do not buckle the other position as this willterminate the process. Read Steps1-4t horoughly before proceeding with the deactivation/activation programming procedure.Note: If you are using MyKey™, the Belt-Minder /H23041cannot be disabled. Also, if the Belt-Minder /H23041has been previously disabled, it will be re-enabled after the use of MyKey™. Refer to MyKey™ in the Locks and security chapter. The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder /H23041features can be deactivated/activated by performing the following procedure: Before following the procedure, make sure that:•The parking brake is set •The gearshift is in P (Park) •The ignition switch is in the off position •The driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckledSeating and Safety Restraints 183 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

WARNING: While the design allows you to deactivate your Belt-Minder /H23041, this system is designed to improve your chances of being safely belted and surviving an accident. We recommend you leave the Belt-Minder /H23041system activated for yourself and others who may use the vehicle. To reduce the risk of injury, do notdeactivate/activate the Belt-Minder /H23041feature while driving the vehicle. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the on position. DO NOT START THE ENGINE. 2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (Approximately one minute) •Step 3 must be completed within 30 seconds after the safety belt warning light turns off. 3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending in the unbuckled state. •After Step 3, the restraint system warning light (airbag light) will be turned on for three seconds. 4. Within approximately seven seconds of the light turning off, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt. •This will disable the Belt-Minder /H23041feature for that seating position if it is currently enabled. As confirmation, the restraint system warning light will flash four times per second for three seconds. •This will enable the Belt-Minder /H23041feature for that seating position if it is currently disabled. As confirmation, the restraint system warninglight will flash four times per second for three seconds, followed bythree seconds with the light off, then followed by the restraint systemwarning light flashing four times per second for three seconds again. Safety belt extension assembly If the safety belt is too short when fully extended, there is an 8 inch (20 cm) safety belt extension assembly that can be added (part number611C22). This assembly can be obtained from an authorized dealer. Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing onthe label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is tooshort for you when fully extended. WARNING: Do not use extensions to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso.Seating and Safety Restraints 184 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

AIRBAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) The airbag supplemental restraint system is designed to work in conjunction with the safety belts to help protect the driver and frontoutboard passenger from certain upper body injuries. The term“supplemental restraint” means the airbags are intended as a supplementto the safety belts. Airbags alone cannot protect as well as airbags plussafety belts in impacts for which the airbags are designed to deploy, andairbags do not offer any protection in crashes for which they do notdeploy. The airbag supplemental restraint system consists of: •driver and passenger dual stage airbag modules (which include the inflators and airbags). •side airbags and Safety Canopy /H23041. Refer to Seat-mounted side airbag system andSafety Canopy/H23041 system later in this chapter. •one or more impact and safing sensors. •the same indicator light, RCM (restraints control module) and diagnostic unit used for the Personal safety system. •Front passenger sensing system •Passenger airbag off indicator light. The airbag supplemental restraints are an integral part of the Personal Safety System. They are designed to be deployed in cases where thePersonal Safety System has determined the occupant conditions andcrash severity are appropriate to activate these devices. Refer to thePersonal Safety System™ section in this chapter.Seating and Safety Restraints 185 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

Important SRS precautions The SRS is designed to work with the safety belt to help protect thedriver and right front passengerfrom certain upper body injuries.Airbags DO NOT inflate slowly;t h e r ei sar i s ko fi n j u r yf r o madeploying airbag. WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is provided. WARNING: When possible, all children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position. WARNING: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 inches (25 cm) between an occupant’s chest and the driver airbag module. WARNING: Never place your arm over the airbag module as a deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries. To properly position yourself away from the airbag: •Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably. •Recline the seat slightly one or two degrees from the upright position. WARNING: Do not put anything on or over the airbag module. Placing objects on or over the airbag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the airbag into your face and torso causing serious injury.Seating and Safety Restraints 186 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. WARNING: The front passenger airbag is not designed to offer protection to an occupant in the center front seating position. WARNING: Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of the vehicle (including frame, bumper, front end body structure and tow hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system, increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of thevehicle. WARNING: Additional equipment may affect the performance of the airbag sensors increasing the risk of injury. Children and airbags For additional important safety information, read all information onsafety restraints in this guide. Children must always be properly restrained. Accident statisticssuggest that children are safer whenproperly restrained in the rear seatthan in the front seat. Failure tofollow these instructions mayincrease the risk of injury in acollision. WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NEVER place a rear-facing child seat in front of an activeairbag. If you must use aforward-facing child seat in thefront seat, move the seat all theway back.Seating and Safety Restraints 187 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

If two adults and a child occupy a Regular Cab, properly restrain the child in the center front unless doing so would interfere with driving the vehicle. This arrangement provides lap and shoulder belt protection forall occupants, and airbag protection for the adults. All occupants of the vehicle should always properly wear their safety belts. Ensure the childis properly restrained in an appropriate child seat or with the use of abooster. A child or infant properly restrained in the center front seatshould not incur risk of serious injury from the airbags. How does the airbag supplemental restraint system work? The airbag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustainssufficient longitudinal deceleration. The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not meanthat something is wrong with thesystem. Rather, it means the forceswere not of the type sufficient tocause activation. Airbags aredesigned to inflate in frontal andnear-frontal collisions, not rollover,side-impact, or rear-impacts. The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After airbagdeployment, it is normal to notice asmoke-like, powdery residue orsmell the burnt propellant. This mayconsist of cornstarch, talcumpowder (to lubricate the bag) orsodium compounds (e.g., bakingsoda) that result from thecombustion process that inflates theairbag. Small amounts of sodiumhydroxide may be present whichmay irritate the skin and eyes, butnone of the residue is toxic. While the system is designed to help reduce serious injuries, it may alsocause minor abrasions, swelling or temporary hearing loss. Becauseairbags must inflate rapidly and with considerable force, there is the riskof death or serious injuries such as fractures, facial and eye injuries orSeating and Safety Restraints 188 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

internal injuries, particularly to occupants who are not properly restrained or are otherwise out of position at the time of airbagdeployment. Thus, it is extremely important that occupants be properlyrestrained as far away from the airbag cover as possible whilemaintaining vehicle control. WARNING: Several airbag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. WARNING: If the airbag has deployed, the airbag will not function again and must be replaced immediately. If the airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk ofinjury in a collision. Front passenger sensing system The front passenger sensing system is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208and is designed to disable (will not inflate) the front passenger’s frontalairbag under certain conditions. The front passenger sensing system works with sensors that are part of the front passenger’s seat and safety belt. The sensors are designed todetect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if thefront passenger’s frontal airbag should be enabled (may inflate) ordisabled (will not inflate). The front passenger sensing system will disable (will not inflate) the front passenger’s frontal airbag if: •the front passenger seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in the front seat, •the system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant seat that is installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, •the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing child restraint that is installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, •the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat, •a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of time, •a child or a small person occupies the front passenger seat. Note: When the passenger airbag off light is illuminated, the passenger (seat mounted) side airbag may be disabled to avoid the risk of airbagdeployment injuries.Seating and Safety Restraints 189 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

The indicatorlamp is located in the center stack of the instrument panel just above the radio. Note: The indicator lamp will illuminate for a short period of time when the ignition is turned to the on position to confirm it is functional. When the front passenger seat is not occupied (empty seat) or in the event that the front passenger frontal airbag is enabled (may inflate), theindicator lamp will be unlit. The front passenger sensing system is designed to disable (will not inflate) the front passenger’s frontal airbag when a rear facing infantseat, a forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is detected. •When the front passenger sensing system disables (will not inflate) the front passenger frontal airbag, the indicator lamp will illuminate and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal airbag is disabled. •If the child restraint has been installed and the indicator lamp is not lit, then turn the vehicle off, remove the child restraint from thevehicle and reinstall the restraint following the child restraintmanufacturer’s instructions. The front passenger sensing system is designed to enable (may inflate)the front passenger’s frontal airbag anytime the system senses that aperson 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 indicator will be unlit and stay unlit. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger’s seat, but the /H11033passenger airbag off /H11033or/H11033pass airbag off /H11033indicator lamp is lit, it is possible that the person isn’t sitting properly in the seat. If this happens: •Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in the full 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 will allow the system to detect that person and enable the passenger’s frontal airbag.Seating and Safety Restraints 190 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

•If the indicator lamp remains lit even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat. OccupantPass Airbag Off Indicator LampPassenger Airbag Empty seat Unlit Disabled Small child in child safety seat or boosterLit Disabled Small child with safetybelt buckled orunbuckledLit Disabled Adult Unlit Enabled WARNING: Even with Advanced Restraints Systems, children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position. After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on safety belts, it’s very important that they continue to sit properly. A properly seatedoccupant sits upright, leaning against the seat back, and centered on theseat cushion, with their feet comfortably extended on the floor. Sittingimproperly can increase the chance of injury in a crash event. Forexample, if an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward,leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance ofinjury during a crash is greatly increased. WARNING: Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion and affect the decision of the front passenger sensing system, resultingin serious injury or death in a crash.Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor. The front passenger sensing system may detect small or medium objectsplaced on the seat cushion. For most objects that are in the frontpassenger seat, the passenger airbag will be disabled.

A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: •The readiness lights will either flash or stay lit. •The readiness lights will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on. •A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat periodically until the problem and/or light are repaired. If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS servicedat an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system may notfunction properly in the event of a collision. Seat-mounted side airbag system WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the airbag cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or in front seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying airbag. Failure to follow these instructions may increase therisk of personal injury in the event of a collision. 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 airbag SRS, its fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an airbag. See an authorized dealer.

How does the side airbag system work? The design and development of the side airbag system includedrecommended testing proceduresthat were developed by a group ofautomotive safety experts known asthe Side Airbag Technical WorkingGroup. These recommended testingprocedures help reduce the risk ofinjuries related to the deployment ofside airbags. The side airbag system consists of the following: •An inflatable bag (airbag) with a gas generator concealed behind the outboard bolster of the driver and front passenger seatbacks. •A special seat cover designed to allow airbag deployment. •The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used for the front airbags. •Crash sensors located on the front doors. •One crash sensor located on each side of the b-pillar, (SuperCab only). •One crash sensor located on each side of the c-pillar, (SuperCrew only). Side airbags, in combination with safety belts, can help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact collision. The side airbags are fitted on the outboard side of the seatbacks of the front seats. In certain lateral collisions, the airbag on the side affected bythe collision will be inflated. The airbag was designed to inflate betweenthe door panel and occupant to further enhance the protection providedoccupants in side impact collisions. The airbag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuitthat initiates airbag inflation. The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces werenot of the type sufficient to cause activation. Side airbags are designedto inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over, rear-impact, frontal ornear-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateraldeceleration.Seating and Safety Restraints 194 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

WARNING: Several airbag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. WARNING: If the side airbag has deployed, the airbag will not function again. The side airbag system(including the seat) must beinspected and serviced by anauthorized dealer. If the airbag is not replaced, the unrepairedarea will increase the risk of injuryin a collision. Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer to Warning lights and chimes in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the side airbag is not required. A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:•The readiness light (same light as for front airbag system) will either flash or stay lit. •The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on. •A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat periodically until the problem and/or light are repaired. If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced at your authorized dealer immediately.

Safety Canopy/H23006 System WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the headliner at the siderail that may come intocontact with a deploying SafetyCanopy/H23041. Failure to follow theseinstructions may increase the riskof personal injury in the event of acollision. WARNING: Do not lean your head on the door. The Safety Canopy/H23041 could injure you as it deploys from the headliner. WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the Safety Canopy /H23041System, its fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the headliner on a vehicle containing a Safety Canopy /H23041. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle including the driver should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS and Safety Canopy /H23041System is provided. WARNING: To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the inflatable Safety Canopy /H23041.Seating and Safety Restraints 196 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

How does the Safety Canopy /H23006System work? The design and development of the Safety Canopy System includedrecommended testing proceduresthat were developed by a group ofautomotive safety experts known asthe Side Airbag Technical WorkingGroup. These recommended testingprocedures help reduce the risk ofinjuries related to the deployment ofside airbags (including the SafetyCanopy/H23041). The Safety Canopy System consists of the following: •An inflatable curtain with a gas generator concealed behind the headliner and in the corner or Cpillar behind the doors. •A headliner designed to flex open above the side doors to allow safety canopy deployment. •The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used for the front airbags. •Two crash sensors located on the C-pillar (one on each side) (SuperCab and SuperCrew only). •Crash sensors located on the front doors. •Rollover sensor in the restraints control module (RCM). The Safety Canopy System, in combination with safety belts, can helpreduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impactcollision or rollover event. Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in the second row seats. The safety canopy will not interfere with childrenrestrained using a properly installed child or booster seat because it isdesigned to inflate downward from the headliner above the doors alongthe side window opening. The Safety Canopy System is designed to active when the vehicle sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the RCM to initiate safetycanopy inflation or when a certain likelihood of a rollover event isdetected by the rollover sensor.Seating and Safety Restraints 197 2010 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus) , Q I R U PD W L R Q  3 U R Y L G H G  E \

The safety canopy is mounted to roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the headliner, above each row of seats. The safety canopy is designed toinflate between the side window area and occupants to further enhanceprotection provided in side impact collisions and rollover events. The fact that the safety canopy did not activate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means theforces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. The safetycanopy is designed to inflate in certain side impact collisions or rolloverevents, not in rear impact, frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless thecollision causes sufficient lateral deceleration or rollover likelihood. WARNING: Several Safety Canopy System components get hot after inflation. Do nottouch them after inflation. WARNING: If the Safety Canopy System has deployed, the safety canopy will not function again unless replaced. The Safety Canopy System (including the A, B, C, and D pillar trim and headliner)must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer. If the safetycanopy is not replaced, it will not function again, which will increasethe risk of injury in a future collision. Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the system.
