DATA RECORDING

Service Data Recording

Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing diagnostic
information about your vehicle. This
potentially includes information about the
performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine,
throttle, steering or brake systems. In order
to properly diagnose and service your
vehicle, Ford Motor Company (Ford of
Canada in Canada), and service and repair
facilities may access or share among them
vehicle diagnostic information received
through a direct connection to your vehicle
when diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.
Additionally, Ford Motor Company (Ford of
Canada, in Canada) may, where permitted
by law, use vehicle diagnostic information
for vehicle improvement or with other
information we may have about you, (for
example, your contact information), to offer
you products or services that may interest
you. Data may be provided to our service
providers such as part suppliers that may
help diagnose malfunctions, and who are

similarly obligated to protect data. We retain
this data only as long as necessary to
perform these functions or to comply with
law. We may provide information where
required in response to official requests to
law enforcement or other government
authorities or third parties acting with lawful
authority or court order, and such information
may be used in legal proceedings. For U.S.
only (if equipped), if you choose to use
connected apps and services, such as SYNC
Vehicle Health Report or MyFord Mobile App,
you consent that certain diagnostic
information may also be accessed
electronically by Ford Motor Company and
Ford authorized service facilities, and that
the diagnostic information may be used to
provide services to you, personalizing your
experience, troubleshoot, and to improve
products and services and offer you products
and services that may interest you, where
permitted by law. For Canada only, for more
information, please review the Ford of
Canada privacy policy at www.ford.ca,
including our U.S. data storage and use of
service providers in other jurisdictions who

may be subject to legal requirements in
Canada, the United States and other
countries applicable to them, for example,
lawful requirements to disclose personal
information to governmental authorities in
those countries. See SYNC™ 3 (page 405).

Event Data Recording

This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder. The main purpose of an event
data recorder is to record, in certain crash
or near crash-like situations, such as an
airbag deployment or hitting a road
obstacle; this data will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The event data recorder is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The event data recorder in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:

How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;

Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;

10

MKX (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201707, Second Printing

Introduction

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or the
brake pedal; and

How fast the vehicle was traveling; and

Where the driver was positioning the
steering wheel.

This data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.

Note: Event data recorder data is recorded
by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data is recorded by the
event data recorder under normal driving
conditions and no personal data or
information (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) is recorded (see limitations
regarding 911 Assist and Traffic, directions
and Information privacy below). However,
parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the event data recorder data with
the type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.

To read data recorded by an event data
recorder, special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the event data
recorder is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have such special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the event data
recorder. Ford Motor Company and Ford
of Canada do not access event data
recorder information without obtaining
consent, unless pursuant to court order or
where required by law enforcement, other
government authorities or other third
parties acting with lawful authority. Other
parties may seek to access the information
independently of Ford Motor Company and
Ford of Canada.

Note: Including to the extent that any law
pertaining to Event Data Recorders applies
to SYNC or its features, please note the
following: Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is
enabled (set ON), 911 Assist may, through
any paired and connected cell phone,
disclose to emergency services that the
vehicle has been in a crash involving the
deployment of an airbag or, in certain
vehicles, the activation of the fuel pump
shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911
Assist may also be capable of being used
to electronically or verbally provide to 911
operators the vehicle location (such as
latitude and longitude), and/or other details
about the vehicle or crash or personal
information about the occupants to assist
911 operators to provide the most
appropriate emergency services. If you do
not want to disclose this information, do
not activate the 911 Assist feature.
See
SYNC™ 3 (page 405).

Introduction

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additionally, when you connect to Traffic,
Directions and Information (if equipped,
U.S. only), the service uses GPS technology
and advanced vehicle sensors to collect
the vehicle’s current location, travel
direction, and speed (“vehicle travel
information”), only to help provide you with
the directions, traffic reports, or business
searches that you request. If you do not
want Ford or its vendors to receive this
information, do not activate the service. For
more information, see Traffic, Directions
and Information, Terms and Conditions.
See SYNC™ 3 (page 405).

REPLACEMENT PARTS
RECOMMENDATION

We have built your vehicle 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 that 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 Lincoln Warranty. Damage
caused to your vehicle as a result of the
failure of non-Ford parts may not be covered
by the Lincoln Warranty. For additional
information, refer to the terms and conditions
of the Lincoln Warranty.

SPECIAL NOTICES

New Vehicle Limited Warranty

For a detailed description of what is covered
and what is not covered by your vehicle’s
New Vehicle Limited Warranty, see the
Warranty Manual that is provided to you
along with your Owner’s Manual.

Special Instructions

For your added safety, your vehicle is fitted
with sophisticated electronic controls.

WARNINGS

You risk death or serious injury to
yourself and others if you do not follow

the instruction highlighted by the warning
symbol. Failure to follow the specific
warnings and instructions could result in
personal injury.

NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an

ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

On Board Diagnostics Data Link
Connector

WARNING

Do not connect wireless plug-in
devices to the data link connector.

Unauthorized third parties could gain access
to vehicle data and impair the performance
of safety related systems. Only allow repair
facilities that follow our service and repair
instructions to connect their equipment to
the data link connector.

Your vehicle has an OBD Data Link
Connector (DLC) that is used in conjunction
with a diagnostic scan tool for vehicle
diagnostics, repairs and reprogramming
services. Installing an aftermarket device that
uses the DLC during normal driving for
purposes such as remote insurance company
monitoring, transmission of vehicle data to
other devices or entities, or altering the
performance of the vehicle, may cause

interference with or even damage to vehicle
systems. We do not recommend or endorse
the use of aftermarket plug-in devices unless
approved by Ford. The vehicle Warranty will
not cover damage caused by an aftermarket
plug-in device.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS
EQUIPMENT

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.

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

See the following sections for directions on
how to properly use safety restraints for
children.

WARNINGS

Always make sure your child is secured
properly in a device that is appropriate

for their height, age and weight. Child safety
restraints must be bought separately from
your vehicle. Failure to follow these
instructions and guidelines may result in an
increased risk of serious injury or death to
your child.

WARNINGS

All children are shaped differently. The
National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration and other safety
organizations, base their recommendations
for child restraints on probable child height,
age and weight thresholds, or on the
minimum requirements of the law. We
recommend that you check with a NHTSA
Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician
(CPST) to make sure that you properly install
the child restraint in your vehicle and that
you consult your pediatrician to make sure
you have a child restraint appropriate for
your child. To locate a child restraint fitting
station and CPST, contact NHTSA toll free
at 1-888-327-4236 or go to

WARNINGS

www.nhtsa.dot.gov. In Canada, contact
Transport Canada toll free at 1-800-333-0371
or go to www.tc.gc.ca to find a Child Car Seat
Clinic in your area. Failure to properly restrain
children in child restraints made especially
for their height, age and weight, may result
in an increased risk of serious injury or death
to your child.

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.

Child Safety

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children

Recommended restraint type

Child size, height, weight, or age

Child

Use a child safety seat (sometimes called an

infant carrier, convertible seat, or toddler

seat).

Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generally age four or

younger).

Infants or toddlers

Use a belt-positioning booster seat.

Children who have outgrown or no longer properly fit in a child

safety seat (generally children who are less than 4 ft. 9 in. (1.45 m)

tall, are greater than age four and less than age 12, and between

40 lb (18 kg) and 80 lb (36 kg) and upward to 100 lb (45 kg) if

recommended by your child restraint manufacturer).

Small children

Use a vehicle safety belt having the lap belt

snug and low across the hips, shoulder belt

centered across the shoulder and chest, and

seatback upright.

Children who have outgrown or no longer properly fit in a belt-

positioning booster seat (generally children who are at least 4 ft.

9 in. (1.45 m) tall or greater than 80 lb (36 kg) or 100 lb (45 kg) if

recommended by child restraint manufacturer).

Larger children

20

MKX (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201707, Second Printing

Child Safety

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are required by law to properly use
safety seats for infants and toddlers in
the United States and Canada.

Many states and provinces require that
small children use approved booster
seats until they reach age eight, a height
of 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall, or
80 lb (36 kg). Check your local and state
or provincial laws for specific
requirements about the safety of children
in your vehicle.

When possible, always properly restrain
children 12 years of age and under in a
rear seating position of your vehicle.
Accident statistics suggest that children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in a front
seating position. See Front Passenger
Sensing System
(page 50).

INSTALLING CHILD RESTRAINTS

Child Seats

E142594

Use a child safety seat (sometimes called an
infant carrier, convertible seat, or toddler
seat) for infants, toddlers, or children
weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generally age
four or younger).

Using Lap and Shoulder Belts

WARNINGS

Do not place a rearward facing child
restraint in front of an active airbag.

Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury or death.

Properly secure children 12 years old
and under in a rear seating position

whenever possible. If you are unable to
properly secure all children in a rear seating
position, properly secure the largest child on
the front seat. If you must use a forward
facing child restraint on the front seat, move
the seat as far back as possible. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in
personal injury or death.

Depending on where you secure a
child restraint, and depending on the

child restraint design, you may block access
to certain seatbelt buckle assemblies and
LATCH lower anchors, rendering those
features potentially unusable. To avoid risk
of injury, make sure occupants only use
seating positions where they are able to be
properly restrained.

21

MKX (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201707, Second Printing

Child Safety

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When installing a child safety seat with
combination lap and shoulder belts:

Use the correct seatbelt buckle for that
seating position.

Insert the belt tongue into the proper
buckle until you hear a snap and feel it
latch. Make sure the tongue is securely
fastened in the buckle.

Keep the buckle release button pointing
up and away from the safety seat, with
the tongue between the child restraint
and the release button, to prevent
accidental unbuckling.

Place the vehicle seat upon which the
child restraint will be installed in the
upright position.

Put the seatbelt in the automatic locking
mode. See Step 5. This vehicle does not
require the use of a locking clip.

Perform the following steps when installing
the child restraint with combination lap and
shoulder belts:

Note: Although the child restraint illustrated
is a forward facing child restraint, the steps
are the same for installing a rear facing child
restraint.

Seatbelts

E142528

1. Position the child safety seat in a seat

with a combination lap and shoulder belt.

E142529

2. After positioning the child safety seat in

the proper seating position, pull down on
the shoulder belt and then grasp the
shoulder belt and lap belt together
behind the belt tongue.

E142530

3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt

portions together, route the tongue
through the child restraint according to
the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions. Be sure the belt webbing is
not twisted.
