The\nmain purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or nearcrash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting aroad obstacle; this data will assist in understanding how avehicle\u2019s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record datarelated to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short periodof time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle isdesigned to record such data as:\n\u2022How various systems in your vehicle were operating;\n\u2022Whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were\nbuckled/fastened;\n\u2022How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator\nand/or the brake pedal; and\n\u2022How fast the vehicle was travelling; and\n\u2022Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.\nThis data can help provide a better understanding of the\ncircumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.\nNote: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial\ncrash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR undernormal driving conditions and no personal data or information(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded (seeIntroduction\n7\n2010 F-150 (f12)\nOwners Guide, 3rd Printing\nUSA (fus)\n, Q I R U PD W L R Q \u0003 3 U R Y L G H G \u0003 E \\"} {"input": "limitations regarding 911 Assist and Traffic, directions and\nInformation privacy below).

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.\nThe fact that the pretensioners or airbags did not activate for both front\nseat occupants in a collision does not mean that something is wrong withthe system.

Front airbags are designed\nto activate only in frontal and near-frontal collisions, not rollovers,side-impacts, or rear-impacts unless the collision causes sufficientlongitudinal deceleration.\nDriver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints\nThe dual-stage airbags offer the capability to tailor the level of airbag\ninflation 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\n(SRS) section in this chapter.\nFront crash severity sensor\nThe front crash severity sensor enhances the ability to detect the\nseverity 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.\nDriver\u2019s seat position sensor\nThe driver\u2019s seat position sensor allows your Personal Safety System to\ntailor 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.\nFront passenger sensing system\nFor airbags to do their job they must inflate with great force, and this\nforce 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.\nWARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.\nNEVER place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active air\nbag.

Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will\nbe riding in your vehicle.\n3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX\nkg or XXX lb.\n4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage\nload capacity. For example, if the \u201cXXX\u201d amount equals 1,400 lb. andthere will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount ofavailable cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lb. (1400-750 (5 x 150)= 650 lb.). In metric units (635-340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg.)\n5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on\nthe vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo andluggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.\n6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be\ntransferred to your vehicle.

(99 kg) each and the golf bags weighapproximately 30 lb. (13.5 kg) each. The calculation would be: 1400 -(5 x 220) - (5 x 30) = 1400 - 1100 - 150 = 150 lb. Yes, you haveenough load capacity in your vehicle to transport four friends andyour golf bags. In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg - (5 x99 kg) - (5 x 13.5 kg) = 635 - 495 - 67.5 = 72.5 kg.\n\u2022A final example for your vehicle with 1,400 lb.

You will get a moreaccurate measurement after 2,000 miles\u20133,000 miles (3,000 km\u20135,000km).\nFilling the tank\nThe advertised fuel capacity of the fuel tank on your vehicle is equal to\nthe rated refill capacity of the fuel tank as listed in the Maintenance\nproduct specifications and capacities section of this chapter.\nThe advertised capacity is the amount of the indicated capacity and theempty reserve combined. Indicated capacity is the difference in theamount of fuel in a full tank and a tank when the fuel gauge indicatesempty. Empty reserve is the small amount of fuel remaining in the fueltank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.\nThe amount of usable fuel in the empty reserve varies and should\nnot be relied upon to increase driving range. When refueling yourvehicle after the fuel gauge indicates empty, you might not beable to refuel the full amount of the advertised capacity of thefuel tank due to the empty reserve still present in the tank.\nFor consistent results when filling the fuel tank:\u2022Turn the engine/ignition switch to the off position prior to refueling,\nan error in the reading may result if the engine is left running.\n\u2022Use the same filling rate setting (low \u2014 medium \u2014 high) each time\nthe tank is filled.\n\u2022Allow no more than three automatic click-offs when filling.\n\u2022Always use fuel with the recommended octane rating.\n\u2022Use a known quality gasoline, preferably a national brand.\n\u2022Use the same side of the same pump and have the vehicle facing the\nsame direction each time you fill up.\n\u2022Have the vehicle loading and distribution the same every time.\nYour results will be most accurate if your filling method is consistent.Maintenance and Specifications\n386\n2010 F-150 (f12)\nOwners Guide, 3rd Printing\nUSA (fus)\n, Q I R U PD W L R Q \u0003 3 U R Y L G H G \u0003 E \\"} {"input": "Calculating fuel economy\n1.
