[. . . ] The Safety Canopy system, in combination with safety belts, can help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact collision or rollover event. Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in the second or third row seats. The Safety Canopy will not interfere with children restrained using a properly installed child or booster seat because it is designed to inflate downward from the headliner above the doors along the side window opening. The Safety Canopy system is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the side crash sensor to close an electrical circuit that initiates Safety Canopy inflation or when a certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopy is mounted to roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the headliner, along the entire side of the vehicle. In certain lateral collisions or rollover events, the Safety Canopy system will be activated, regardless of which seats are occupied. The Safety Canopy is designed to inflate between the side window area and occupants to further enhance protection 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 the forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. The Safety Canopy is designed to inflate in certain side impact collisions or rollover events, not in rear impact, frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration or rollover. Do not touch them after inflation. 166 2007 Freestar (win) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) Seating and Safety Restraints 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) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer. If the Safety Canopy is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in 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 the Airbag readiness section in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Any difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: · The readiness airbag 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. The tone pattern will repeat periodically until the problem and light are repaired. If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced at your an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision or rollover event. Disposal of airbags and airbag equipped vehicles (including pretensioners) See your authorized dealer. SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety restraints for children. [. . . ] Replace the spark plugs with ones that meet Ford material and design specifications for your vehicle, such as Motorcraft or equivalent replacement parts. The customer warranty may be void for any damage to the engine if such spark plugs are not used. 299 2007 Freestar (win) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) 300 MAINTENANCE PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS AND CAPACITIES Item Brake fluid Door weatherstrips -- Silicone Spray Lubricant Motorcraft High Fill to MAX line on Performance DOT 3 Motor reservoir Vehicle Brake Fluid1 Capacity Ford part name Ford part number / Ford specification PM-1 or PM-1-C / ESA-M6C25-A or WSS-M6C62-A XL-6 / ESR-M13P4-A 2007 Freestar (win) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) Maintenance and Specifications Engine coolant without 14. 8 quarts (14. 0L) Motorcraft Premium Gold rear heater VC-7-B / Engine Coolant with WSS-M97B51-A1 bittering agent (yellow Engine coolant with rear 15. 9 quarts (15. 0L) colored)3 heater Cooling system stop leak Motorcraft Cooling System VC-6 / -- pellets Stop Leak Pellets WSS-M99B37-B6 Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 XO-5W20-QSP (US) Premium Synthetic Blend CXO-5W20­LSP12 Motor Oil (US) (Canada) / Engine oil 5. 0 quarts (4. 7L) Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 WSS-M2C930-A with API Super Premium Motor Oil Certification Mark (Canada)4 Door latch, hood latch, auxiliary hood latch, door and liftgate hinges, striker plates, seat XG-4 or XL-5 / -- Multi-Purpose Grease tracks, sliding door both ESB-M1C93-B sides (upper and lower track) and fuel filler door hinge.
