• How fast the vehicle was traveling;and
• Where the driver was positioning thesteering wheel.
This data can help provide a betterunderstanding of the circumstances inwhich crashes and injuries occur.Note: Event data recorder data is recordedby your vehicle only if a non-trivial crashsituation occurs; no data is recorded by theevent data recorder under normal drivingconditions and no personal data orinformation (e.g., name, gender, age, andcrash location) is recorded (see limitationsregarding 911 Assist and Traffic, directionsand Information privacy below). However,parties, such as law enforcement, couldcombine the event data recorder data withthe type of personally identifying dataroutinely acquired during a crashinvestigation.To read data recorded by an event datarecorder, special equipment is required,and access to the vehicle or the eventdata recorder is needed. In addition to thevehicle manufacturer, other parties, suchas law enforcement, that have suchspecial equipment, can read theinformation if they have access to thevehicle or the event data recorder. Ford
Motor Company and Ford of Canada donot access event data recorderinformation without obtaining consent,unless pursuant to court order or whererequired by law enforcement, othergovernment authorities or other thirdparties acting with lawful authority.Other parties may seek to access theinformation independently of Ford MotorCompany and Ford of Canada.Note: Including to the extent that any lawpertaining to Event Data Recorders appliesto SYNC or its features, please note thefollowing: Once 911 Assist (if equipped) isenabled (set ON), 911 Assist may, throughany paired and connected cell phone,disclose to emergency services that thevehicle has been in a crash involving thedeployment of an airbag or, in certainvehicles, the activation of the fuel pumpshut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911Assist may also be capable of being usedto electronically or verbally provide to 911operators the vehicle location (such aslatitude and longitude), and/or otherdetails about the vehicle or crash orpersonal information about the occupantsto assist 911 operators to provide the mostappropriate emergency services. If you donot want to disclose this information, donot activate the 911 Assist feature.
Additionally, when you connect toTraffic, Directions and Information (ifequipped, U.S. only), the service usesGPS technology and advanced vehiclesensors to collect the vehicle’s currentlocation, travel direction, and speed(“vehicle travel information”), only tohelp provide you with the directions,traffic reports, or business searches thatyou request. If you do not want Ford orits vendors to receive this information,do not activate the service. For moreinformation, see Traffic, Directions andInformation, Terms and Conditions.

• You are required by law to properly usesafety seats for infants and toddlers inthe United States and Canada.
• Many states and provinces require thatsmall children use approved boosterseats until they reach age eight, a heightof 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall, or 80pounds (36 kilograms). Check your localand state or provincial laws for specificrequirements about the safety of childrenin your vehicle.
• When possible, always properly restrainchildren 12 years of age and under in arear seating position of your vehicle.Accident statistics suggest that childrenare safer when properly restrained in therear seating positions than in a frontseating position. See Front PassengerSensing System (page 39).
INSTALLING CHILDRESTRAINTSChild Seats
E142594
Use a child safety seat (sometimes called aninfant carrier, convertible seat, or toddlerseat) for infants, toddlers, or childrenweighing 40 pounds (18 kilograms) or less(generally age four or younger).
Using Lap and Shoulder BeltsWARNINGS
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a childseat. Never place a rear-facing childseat in front of an active airbag. If you
must use a forward-facing child seat in thefront seat, move the seat upon which thechild seat is installed all the way back.
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a childseat. Children 12 and under should beproperly restrained in the rear seat
whenever possible.Depending on where you secure a childrestraint, and depending on the childrestraint design, you may block access
to certain seatbelt buckle assemblies andLATCH lower anchors, rendering thosefeatures potentially unusable. To avoid riskof injury, occupants should only use seatingpositions where they are able to be properlyrestrained.

When installing a child safety seat withcombination 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 itlatch. Make sure the tongue is securelyfastened in the buckle.
• Keep the buckle release button pointingup and away from the safety seat, withthe tongue between the child seat andthe release button, to prevent accidentalunbuckling.
• Place the vehicle seat upon which thechild seat will be installed in the uprightposition.
• Put the seatbelt in the automatic lockingmode. See Step 5. This vehicle does notrequire the use of a locking clip.
Perform the following steps when installingthe child seat with combination lap andshoulder belts:Note: Although the child seat illustrated is aforward facing child seat, the steps are thesame for installing a rear facing child seat.
E142528
1. Position the child safety seat in a seatwith a combination lap and shoulder belt.
E142529
2. After positioning the child safety seat inthe proper seating position, pull down onthe shoulder belt and then grasp theshoulder belt and lap belt togetherbehind the belt tongue.

5. To put the retractor in the automaticlocking mode, grasp the shoulder portionof the belt and pull downward until all ofthe belt is pulled out.
Note: The automatic locking mode isavailable on the front passenger and rearseats.6. Allow the belt to retract to remove slack.
The belt will click as it retracts to indicateit is in the automatic locking mode.
7. Try to pull the belt out of the retractor tomake sure the retractor is in theautomatic locking mode (you should notbe able to pull more belt out). If theretractor is not locked, unbuckle the beltand repeat Steps 5 and 6.
E142533
8. Remove remaining slack from the belt.Force the seat down with extra weight,for example, by pressing down or kneelingon the child restraint while pulling up onthe shoulder belt in order to force slackfrom the belt. This is necessary to removethe remaining slack that will exist oncethe extra weight of the child is added tothe child restraint. It also helps to achievethe proper snugness of the child seat toyour vehicle. Sometimes, a slight leantoward the buckle will provide extra helpto remove remaining slack from the belt.
9. Attach the tether strap (if the child seatis equipped).

10. Before placing the child in the seat,forcibly move the seat forward and backto make sure the seat is securely heldin place. To check this, grab the seat atthe belt path and attempt to move itside to side and forward and back.There should be no more than 1 inch (2.5centimeters) of movement for properinstallation.
We recommend checking with a NHTSACertified Child Passenger Safety Technicianto make certain the child restraint is properlyinstalled. In Canada, check with TransportCanada for referral to a Child Car Seat Clinic.
Using Lower Anchors and Tethersfor CHildren (LATCH)
WARNINGSNever attach two child safety seats tothe same anchor. In a collision, oneanchor may not be strong enough to
hold two child safety seat attachments andmay break, causing serious injury or death.
Depending on where you secure a childrestraint, and depending on the childrestraint design, you may block access
to certain seatbelt buckle assemblies orLATCH lower anchors, rendering thosefeatures potentially unusable. To avoid riskof injury, occupants should only use seatingpositions where they are able to be properlyrestrained.
The LATCH system is composed of threevehicle anchor points: two lower anchorslocated where seat back and seat cushionmeet (called the seat bight) and one toptether anchor located behind that seatingposition.
LATCH compatible child safety seats havetwo rigid or webbing mounted attachmentsthat connect to the two lower anchors at theLATCH equipped seating positions in yourvehicle. This type of attachment methodeliminates the need to use seatbelts toattach the child seat, however the seatbeltcan still be used to attach the child seat. Forforward-facing child seats, the top tetherstrap must also be attached to the propertop tether anchor, if a top tether strap hasbeen provided with your child seat.
E173197
Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors forchild seat installation at the seating positionsmarked with the child seat symbol.

The LATCH anchors are located at the rearsection of the rear seat between the cushionand seatback below the symbols as shown.Follow the child seat manufacturer'sinstructions to properly install a child seatwith LATCH attachments. Follow theinstructions on attaching child safety seatswith tether straps.Attach LATCH lower attachments of the childseat only to the anchors shown.
Child Seat Positioning for LATCH LowerAnchorsAll the LATCH lower anchors are equallyspaced, 11 inches (28 centimeters) apart,allowing for the following child seatpositioning:• If a single child seat is installed using the
LATCH lower anchors, it can be installedat any rear seating position.
• If two child safety seats are installedusing the LATCH lower anchors, theymust be placed in the outboard seatingpositions only.
• If three child safety seats are installed,you can install two using the LATCHlower anchors by placing them in eachoutboard seating position and the thirdin the center using the lap and shoulderbelt, OR you can use the LATCH loweranchors for the center child safety seatand the lap and shoulder belts for theother two child safety seats in theoutboard positions. Use the tetheranchors if applicable.
Combining Seatbelt and LATCH LowerAnchors for Attaching Child Safety SeatsWhen used in combination, either theseatbelt or the LATCH lower anchors may beattached first, provided a proper installationis achieved. Attach the tether strapafterward, if included with the child seat.
Using Tether Straps
Many forward-facing child safety seatsinclude a tether strap which extends fromthe back of the child safety seat and hooksto an anchoring point called the top tetheranchor. Tether straps are available as anaccessory for many older safety seats.Contact the manufacturer of your child seatfor information about ordering a tether strap,or to obtain a longer tether strap if the tetherstrap on your safety seat does not reach theappropriate top tether anchor in your vehicle.Once the child safety seat has been installedusing either the seatbelt, the lower anchorsof the LATCH system, or both, you can attachthe top tether strap.

BOOSTER SEATS
WARNINGNever place, or allow a child to place,the shoulder belt under a child's armor behind the back because it reduces
the protection for the upper part of the bodyand may increase the risk of injury or deathin a crash.
Use a belt-positioning booster seat forchildren who have outgrown or no longerproperly fit in a child safety seat (generallychildren who are less than 4 feet 9 inches(1.45 meters) tall, are greater than age four(4) and less than age twelve (12), andbetween 40 pounds (18 kilograms) and 80pounds (36 kilograms) and upward to 100pounds (45 kilograms) if recommended byyour child restraint manufacturer). Manystate and provincial laws require that childrenuse approved booster seats until they reachage eight, a height of 4 feet 9 inches (1.45meters) tall, or 80 pounds (36 kilograms).Booster seats should be used until you cananswer YES to ALL of these questions whenseated without a booster seat:
E142595
• Can the child sit all the way back againsttheir vehicle seat back with knees bentcomfortably at the edge of the seatcushion?
• Can the child sit without slouching?• Does the lap belt rest low across the
hips?• Is the shoulder belt centered on the
shoulder and chest?• Can the child stay seated like this for the
whole trip?Always use booster seats in conjunction withyour vehicle lap and shoulder belt.
Types of Booster Seats
E68924
• Backless booster seatsIf your backless booster seat has a removableshield, remove the shield. If a vehicle seatingposition has a low seat back or no headrestraint, a backless booster seat may placeyour child's head (as measured at the topsof the ears) above the top of the seat. In thiscase, move the backless booster to anotherseating position with a higher seat back orhead restraint and lap and shoulder belts, orconsider using a high back booster seat.

• High back booster seatsIf, with a backless booster seat, you cannotfind a seating position that adequatelysupports your child's head, a high backbooster seat would be a better choice.Children and booster seats vary in size andshape. Choose a booster that keeps the lapbelt low and snug across the hips, never upacross the stomach, and lets you adjust theshoulder belt to cross the chest and restsnugly near the center of the shoulder. The
following drawings compare the ideal fit(center) to a shoulder belt uncomfortablyclose to the neck and a shoulder belt thatcould slip off the shoulder. The drawings alsoshow how the lap belt should be low andsnug across the child's hips.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGSAlways drive and ride with yourseatback upright and the lap belt snugand low across the hips.To reduce the risk of injury, make surechildren sit where they can be properlyrestrained.Never let a passenger hold a child onhis or her lap while your vehicle ismoving. The passenger cannot protect
the child from injury in a crash.All occupants of your vehicle, includingthe driver, should always properly weartheir seatbelts, even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system is provided.Failure to properly wear your seatbelt couldseriously increase the risk of injury or death.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in acargo area, inside or outside of avehicle. In a crash, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously injuredor killed. Do not allow people to ride in anyarea of your vehicle that is not equipped withseats and seatbelts. Be sure everyone in yourvehicle is in a seat and using a seatbeltproperly.
WARNINGSIn a rollover crash, an unbelted personis significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.Each seating position in your vehiclehas a specific seatbelt assembly whichis made up of one buckle and one
tongue that are designed to be used as a pair.1) Use the shoulder belt on the outsideshoulder only. Never wear the shoulder beltunder the arm. 2) Never swing the seatbeltaround your neck over the inside shoulder. 3)Never use a single belt for more than oneperson.
When possible, all children 12 years oldand under should be properly restrainedin a rear seating position. Failure to
follow this could seriously increase the riskof injury or death.
Seatbelts and seats can become hotin a vehicle that has been closed up insunny weather; they could burn a small
child. Check seat covers and buckles beforeyou place a child anywhere near them.
Front and rear seat occupants,including pregnant women, shouldwear seatbelts for optimum protection
in an accident.
All seating positions in your vehicle have lapand shoulder seatbelts. All occupants of thevehicle should always properly wear theirseatbelts, even when an airbag supplementalrestraint system is provided.The seatbelt system consists of:• Lap and shoulder seatbelts.• Shoulder seatbelt with automatic locking
mode, (except driver seatbelt).• Height adjuster at the front outboard
seating positions.• Seatbelt pretensioner at the front
outboard seating positions.• Belt tension sensor at the front outboard
passenger seating position.· Seatbelt warning light and chime.

The lap belt portion of acombination lap and shoulder belt should bepositioned low across the hips below thebelly and worn as tight as comfort will allow.The shoulder belt should be positioned tocross the middle of the shoulder and thecenter of the chest.
Safety Belt Locking ModesWARNINGS
After any vehicle crash, the safety beltsystem at all passenger seatingpositions must be checked by an
authorized dealer to verify that the automaticlocking retractor feature for child seats is stillfunctioning properly. In addition, all safetybelts should be checked for proper function.
The belt and retractor assembly mustbe replaced if the safety belt assemblyautomatic locking retractor feature or
any other safety belt function is not operatingproperly when checked by an authorizeddealer. Failure to replace the belt andretractor assembly could increase the risk ofinjury in crashes.
All safety restraints in the vehicle arecombination lap and shoulder belts. Thedriver safety belt has the first type of lockingmode, and the front outboard passenger andrear seat safety belts have both types oflocking modes described as follows:
Vehicle Sensitive ModeThis is the normal retractor mode, whichallows free shoulder belt length adjustmentto your movements and locking in responseto vehicle movement. For example, if thedriver brakes suddenly or turns a cornersharply, or the vehicle receives an impact ofabout 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, thecombination safety belts will lock to helpreduce forward movement of the driver andpassengers.In addition, the retractor is designed to lockif the webbing is pulled out too quickly. If thisoccurs, let the belt retract slightly and pullwebbing out again in a slow and controlledmanner.
Automatic Locking ModeIn this mode, the shoulder belt isautomatically pre-locked. The belt will stillretract to remove any slack in the shoulderbelt. The automatic locking mode is notavailable on the driver safety belt.

1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulderbelt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pulldownward until the entire belt is pulledout.
Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts,you will hear a clicking sound. This indicatesthe safety belt is now in the automaticlocking mode.
How to Disengage the Automatic LockingModeUnbuckle the combination lap and shoulderbelt and allow it to retract completely todisengage the automatic locking mode andturn on the vehicle sensitive (emergency)locking mode.
Safety Belt Extension AssemblyWARNING
Do not use extensions to change the fitof the shoulder belt across the torso.
If the safety belt is too short when fullyextended, you can obtain a safety beltextension assembly from an authorizeddealer.Use only extensions manufactured by thesame supplier as the safety belt.Manufacturer identification is on a labellocated either at the end of the webbing oron the retractor behind the trim. Also, use thesafety belt extension only if the safety belt istoo short for you when fully extended.
SEATBELT HEIGHTADJUSTMENT
WARNINGPosition the safety belt height adjustersso that the belt rests across the middleof your shoulder. Failure to adjust the

The Personal Safety System provides animproved overall level of frontal crashprotection to front seat occupants and isdesigned to help further reduce the risk ofairbag-related injuries. The system is able toanalyze different occupant conditions andcrash severity before activating theappropriate safety devices to help betterprotect a range of occupants in a variety offrontal crash situations.The Vehicle Personal Safety System consistsof:• Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag
supplemental restraints.• Front seat outboard safety belts with
pretensioners, energy managementretractors and safety belt usage sensors.
• Driver seat position sensor.• Front passenger sensing system.• Passenger airbag off and on indicator
lamp.• Front crash severity sensors.• Restraints control module with impact
and safing sensors.
• Restraint system warning light andbackup tone.
• The electrical wiring for the airbags, crashsensors, safety belt pretensioners, frontsafety belt usage sensors, driver seatposition sensor, front passenger sensingsystem and indicator lights.
How Does the Personal SafetySystem Work?The Personal Safety System can adapt thedeployment strategy of the safety devicesaccording to crash severity and occupantconditions. A collection of crash andoccupant sensors provides information tothe restraints control module. During a crash,the restraints control module may deploy thesafety belt pretensioners, one or both stagesof the dual-stage airbags based on crashseverity and occupant conditions.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGSAirbags do not inflate slowly or gently,and the risk of injury from a deployingairbag is the greatest close to the trim
covering the airbag module.All occupants of your vehicle, includingthe driver, should always properly weartheir safety belts, even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system is provided.Failure to properly wear your safety belt couldseriously increase the risk of injury or death.
Always transport children 12 years oldand under in the back seat and alwaysproperly use appropriate child
restraints. Failure to follow this couldseriously increase the risk of injury or death.
Never place your arm over the airbagmodule as a deploying airbag can resultin serious arm fractures or other injuries.Airbags can kill or injure a child in a childseat. Never place a rear-facing childseat in front of an active airbag. If you
must use a forward-facing child seat in thefront seat, move the seat upon which thechild seat is installed all the way back.
WARNINGSDo not attempt to service, repair, ormodify the airbag supplementalrestraint systems or its fuses as you
could be seriously injured or killed. Contactyour authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Several airbag system components gethot after inflation. To reduce the risk ofinjury, do not touch them after inflation.If the airbag has deployed, the airbagwill not function again and must bereplaced immediately. If the airbag is
not replaced, the unrepaired area willincrease the risk of injury in a crash.
The airbags are a supplemental restraintsystem and are designed to work with thesafety belts to help protect the driver andright front passenger from certain upper bodyinjuries. Airbags do not inflate slowly; thereis a risk of injury from a deploying airbag.Note: You will hear a loud bang and see acloud of harmless powdery residue if an airbagdeploys. This is normal.
The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly uponactivation. After airbag deployment, it isnormal to notice a smoke-like, powderyresidue or smell the burnt propellant. Thismay consist of cornstarch, talcum powder(to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds(for example, baking soda) that result fromthe combustion process that inflates theairbag. Small amounts of sodium hydroxidemay be present which may irritate the skinand eyes, but none of the residue is toxic.While the system is designed to help reduceserious injuries, contact with a deployingairbag may also cause abrasions or swelling.Temporary hearing loss is also a possibilityas a result of the noise associated with adeploying airbag. Because airbags mustinflate rapidly and with considerable force,there is the risk of death or serious injuriessuch as fractures, facial and eye injuries orinternal injuries, particularly to occupantswho are not properly restrained or areotherwise out of position at the time of airbagdeployment. Thus, it is extremely importantthat occupants be properly restrained as faraway from the airbag module as possiblewhile maintaining vehicle control.Routine maintenance of the airbags is notrequired.

DRIVER AND PASSENGERAIRBAGS
WARNINGSNever place your arm or any objectsover an airbag module. Placing yourarm over a deploying airbag can result
in serious arm fractures or other injuries.Objects placed on or over the airbag inflationarea may cause those objects to be propelledby the airbag into your face and torso causingserious injury.
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a childseat. Never place a rear-facing childseat in front of an active airbag. If you
must use a forward-facing child seat in thefront seat, move the seat upon which thechild seat is installed all the way back.

The driver and front passenger airbags willdeploy during significant frontal and nearfrontal crashes.The driver and passenger front airbag systemconsists of:• Driver and passenger airbag modules.• Front passenger sensing system.
· Crash sensors and monitoringsystem with readiness indicator.See Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 44).
Proper Driver and Front PassengerSeating Adjustment
WARNINGNational Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration (NHTSA) recommendsa minimum distance of at least 10
inches (25 centimeters) between anoccupant’s chest and the driver airbagmodule.
To properly position yourself away from theairbag:• Move your seat to the rear as far as you
can while still reaching the pedalscomfortably.
• Recline the seat slightly (one or twodegrees) from the upright position.
After all occupants have adjusted their seatsand put on safety belts, it is very importantthat they continue to sit properly. A properlyseated occupant sits upright, leaning againstthe seat back, and centered on the seatcushion, with their feet comfortably extendedon the floor. Sitting improperly can increase

Children and AirbagsWARNING
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a childseat. Never place a rear-facing childseat in front of an active airbag. If you
must use a forward-facing child seat in thefront seat, move the seat upon which thechild seat is installed all the way back.
E142846
Children must always be properly restrained.Accident statistics suggest that children aresafer when properly restrained in the rearseating positions than in the front seatingposition. Failure to follow these instructionsmay increase the risk of injury in a crash.
FRONT PASSENGER SENSINGSYSTEM
WARNINGSEven with Advanced RestraintsSystems, children 12 and under shouldbe properly restrained in a rear seating
position. Failure to follow this could seriouslyincrease the risk of injury or death.
Sitting improperly out of position orwith the seat back reclined too far cantake off weight from the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the front passengersensing system, resulting in serious injury ordeath in a crash. Always sit upright againstyour seat back, with your feet on the floor.
Any alteration or modification to thefront passenger seat may affect theperformance of the front passenger
sensing system which could seriouslyincrease the risk of injury or death.
This system works with sensors that are partof the front passenger’s seat and safety beltto detect the presence of a properly-seatedoccupant and determine if the frontpassenger’s frontal airbag should be enabled(may inflate) or not.
E173214
The front passenger sensing system uses apassenger airbag status indicator that willilluminate indicating that the front passengerfrontal airbag is either ON (enabled) or OFF(disabled).The indicator lamp is located in the centerstack of the instrument panel.Note: The passenger airbag status indicatorOFF and ON indicator lamps will illuminatefor a short period of time when the ignition isfirst turned on to confirm it is functional.

The front passenger sensing system isdesigned to disable (will not inflate) the frontpassenger's frontal airbag when the frontpassenger seat is unoccupied, or a rear facinginfant seat, a forward-facing child restraint,or a booster seat is detected. Even with thistechnology, parents are strongly encouragedto always properly restrain children in the rearseat. The sensor also turns off the passengerfront airbag and seat-mounted side airbagwhen the passenger seat is empty.
• When the front passenger sensing systemdisables (will not inflate) the frontpassenger frontal airbag, the passengerairbag status indicator will illuminate theOFF lamp and stay lit to remind you thatthe front passenger frontal airbag isdisabled.
• If the child restraint has been installedand the passenger airbag status indicatorilluminates the ON lamp, then turn thevehicle off, remove the child restraintfrom the vehicle and reinstall the restraintfollowing the child restraintmanufacturer's instructions.
The front passenger sensing system isdesigned to enable (may inflate) the frontpassenger's frontal airbag anytime thesystem senses that a person of adult size issitting properly in the front passenger seat.
• When the front passenger sensing systemenables the front passenger frontal airbag(may inflate), the passenger airbag statusindicator will illuminate the ON lamp andremain illuminated.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the frontpassenger’s seat, but the airbag off indicatorlamp is lit, it is possible that the person is notsitting properly in the seat. If this happens:• Turn the vehicle off and ask the person
to place the seat back in the full uprightposition.
• Have the person sit upright in the seat,centered on the seat cushion, with theperson’s legs comfortably extended.
• Restart the vehicle and have the personremain in this position for about twominutes. This will allow the system todetect that person and enable thepassenger’s frontal airbag.
• If the indicator OFF lamp remains lit evenafter this, the person should be advisedto ride in the rear seat.

Your vehicle has a collection of crash andoccupant sensors which provide informationto the restraints control module. Therestraints control module deploys (activates)the front seatbelt pretensioners, driver airbag,passenger airbag, seat mounted side airbagsand the Safety Canopy. Based on the type ofcrash, the restraints control module willdeploy the appropriate safety devices.The restraints control module also monitorsthe readiness of the above safety devicesplus the crash and occupant sensors. Thereadiness of the safety system is indicatedby a warning indicator light in the instrumentcluster or by a backup tone if the warninglight is not working. Routine maintenance ofthe airbag is not required.A difficulty with the system is indicated byone or more of the following:
The readiness light will notilluminate immediately after theignition is turned on.
• The readiness light will either flash or staylit.
• A series of five beeps will be heard. Thetone pattern will repeat periodically untilthe problem, the light or both arerepaired.
If any of these things happen, evenintermittently, have the supplementalrestraint system serviced at an authorizeddealer immediately. Unless serviced, thesystem may not function properly in the eventof a crash.The seatbelt pretensioners and the frontairbag supplemental restraint system aredesigned to activate when the vehiclesustains frontal deceleration sufficient tocause the restraints control module to deploya safety device.The fact that the seatbelt pretensioners orfront airbags did not activate for both frontseat occupants in a crash does not mean thatsomething is wrong with the system. Rather,it means the restraints control moduledetermined the accident conditions (crashseverity, belt usage) were not appropriate toactivate these safety devices.• The design of the front airbags is to
activate only in frontal and near-frontalcrashes (not rollovers, side impacts orrear impacts) unless the crash causessufficient frontal deceleration.
• The design of the seatbelt pretensionersis to activate in frontal, near-frontal andside crashes and in rollovers.

GENERAL INFORMATIONCondensation in Lamp AssembliesExterior lamps have vents to accommodatenormal changes in air pressure.Condensation can be a natural by-productof this design. When moist air enters the lampassembly through the vents, there is apossibility that condensation can occur whenthe temperature is cold. When normalcondensation occurs, a fine mist can form onthe interior of the lens. The fine misteventually clears and exits through the ventsduring normal operation.Clearing time may take as long as 48 hoursunder dry weather conditions.Examples of acceptable condensation are:• The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.Examples of unacceptable condensation are:• A water puddle inside the lamp.• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation,have your vehicle checked by an authorizeddealer.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMCONTROL (If Equipped)
The system will automatically turn on yourhigh beams if it is dark enough and no othertraffic is present. When it detects theheadlights of an approaching vehicle, the taillamps of the preceding vehicle or streetlighting, the system will turn off the highbeams before they distract other drivers. Thelow beams remain on.Note: If it appears that automatic control ofthe high beams is not functioning properly,check the windshield in front of the camerafor a blockage. A clear view of the road isrequired for proper system operation. Haveany windshield damage in the area of thecamera’s field-of-view repaired.Note: If the system detects a blockage suchas bird droppings, bug splatter, snow or ice,and you do not observe changes, the systemwill go into low beam mode until you clear theblockage. A message may also appear in theinstrument cluster display noting the frontcamera is blocked.
Note: Typical road dust, dirt and water spotswill not affect the performance of theautomatic high beam system. However, in coldor inclement weather conditions, you willnotice a decrease in the availability of the highbeam system, especially at start up. If youwant to change the beam state independentlyof the automatic control, you may switch thehigh beams on or off using the lever. Automaticcontrol will resume when conditions arecorrect.Note: Modification of the vehicle ride heightsuch as using much larger tires, may degradefeature performance.A camera sensor, centrally mounted behindthe windshield of your vehicle, continuouslymonitors conditions to decide when to turnthe high beams off and on.Once the system is active, the high beamswill turn on if:• The ambient light level is low enough.• There is no traffic in front of the vehicle.• The vehicle speed is greater than 32 mph
(52 km/h).
The high beams will turn off if:• The system detects the headlamps of an
approaching vehicle or the tail lamps ofa preceding vehicle.
• Vehicle speed falls below 27 mph(44 km/h).
• The ambient light level is high enoughthat high beams are not required.
• The system detects severe rain, snow orfog.
• The camera is blocked.

HomeLink Wireless Control SystemWARNINGS
Make sure that the garage door andsecurity device are free fromobstruction when you are
programming. Do not program the systemwith the vehicle in the garage.
Do not use the system with any garagedoor opener that does not have thesafety stop and reverse feature as
required by U.S. Federal Safety Standards(this includes any garage door openermanufactured before April 1, 1982). A garagedoor opener which cannot detect an object,signaling the door to stop and reverse, doesnot meet current federal safety standards.Using a garage door opener without thesefeatures increases the risk of serious injury ordeath.
Note: Make sure you keep the original remotecontrol transmitter for use in other vehicles aswell as for future system programming.Note: We recommend that upon the sale orlease termination of your vehicle, you erasethe programmed function buttons for securityreasons. See Erasing the Function ButtonCodes.
Note: You can program a maximum of threedevices. To change or replace any of the threedevices after it has been initially programmed,you must first erase the current settings. SeeErasing the Function Button Codes.

Gate Operator / Canadian ProgrammingCanadian radio-frequency laws requiretransmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)after several seconds of transmission – whichmay not be long enough for HomeLink to pickup the signal during programming. Similar tothis Canadian law, some U.S. gate operatorsare designed to “time-out” in the samemanner.Note: If programming a garage door openeror gate operator, it is advised to unplug thedevice during the “cycling” process to preventpossible overheating.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGSExtended idling at high engine speedscan produce very high temperatures inthe engine and exhaust system,
creating the risk of fire or other damage.Do not park, idle or drive your vehicleon dry grass or other dry ground cover.The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system,creating the risk of fire.
Do not start the engine in a closedgarage or in other enclosed areas.Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start theengine.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside yourvehicle, have your vehicle checked byan authorized dealer immediately. Do
not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaustfumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics for approximately 5 miles (8kilometers) after you reconnect it. This isbecause the engine management systemmust realign itself with the engine. You candisregard any unusual driving characteristicsduring this period.The powertrain control system meets allCanadian interference-causing equipmentstandard requirements regulating the impulseelectrical field or radio noise.When you start the engine, avoid pressingthe accelerator pedal before and duringoperation. Only use the accelerator pedalwhen you have difficulty starting the engine.
KEYLESS STARTINGNote: The keyless starting system may notfunction if the key is close to metal objects orelectronic devices such as cellular phones.Note: A valid key must be located inside yourvehicle to switch the ignition on and start theengine.
Note: When locking your vehicle, any remotecontrols left inside the vehicle may becomedisabled. A message may appear in theinformation display indicating that there is nokey detected if you try to start the engine.Press the unlock button on the remote controlto enable it, and then start the engine.

We recommend that you do the following fora safe and correct operation:• Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by Underwriter’sLaboratory (UL) or Canadian StandardsAssociation (CSA). This extension cordmust be suitable for use outdoors, in coldtemperatures, and be clearly markedSuitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances.Do not use an indoor extension cordoutdoors. This could result in an electricshock or become a fire hazard.
• Use as short an extension cord aspossible.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.• Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord plugconnections are free and clear of water.This could cause an electric shock or fire.
• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a cleanarea, clear of combustibles.
• Make sure the heater, heater cord andextension cord are firmly connected.
• Check for heat anywhere in the electricalhookup once the system has beenoperating for approximately 30 minutes.
• Make sure the system is unplugged andproperly stowed before starting anddriving your vehicle. Make sure theprotective cover seals the prongs of theblock heater cord plug when not in use.
• Make sure the heater system is checkedfor proper operation before winter.
Using the Engine Block HeaterMake sure the receptacle terminals are cleanand dry prior to use. Clean them with a drycloth if necessary.The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours ofenergy per hour of use. The system does nothave a thermostat. It achieves maximumtemperature after approximately three hoursof operation. Using the heater longer thanthree hours does not improve systemperformance and unnecessarily useselectricity.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGSDo not overfill the fuel tank. Thepressure in an overfilled tank maycause leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire.The fuel system may be under pressure.If you hear a hissing sound near the fuelfiller inlet, do not refuel until the sound
stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, whichcould cause serious personal injury.
Automotive fuels can cause seriousinjury or death if misused ormishandled.Flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzlecan produce static electricity. This cancause a fire if you are filling an
ungrounded fuel container.Gasoline may contain benzene, whichis a cancer-causing agent.When refueling always shut the engineoff and never allow sparks or openflames near the fuel tank filler valve.
Never smoke or use a cell phone whilerefueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardousunder certain conditions. Avoid inhalingexcess fumes.
Observe the following guidelines whenhandling automotive fuel:• Extinguish all smoking materials and any
open flames before refueling your vehicle.• Always turn off the vehicle before
refueling.• Automotive fuels can be harmful or fatal
if swallowed. Fuel such as gasoline ishighly toxic and if swallowed can causedeath or permanent injury. If fuel isswallowed, call a physician immediately,even if no symptoms are immediatelyapparent. The toxic effects of fuel maynot be visible for hours.
• Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling toomuch fuel vapor of any kind can lead toeye and respiratory tract irritation. Insevere cases, excessive or prolongedbreathing of fuel vapor can cause seriousillness and permanent injury.
• Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. Iffuel is splashed in the eyes, removecontact lenses (if worn), flush with waterfor 15 minutes and seek medicalattention. Failure to seek proper medicalattention could lead to permanent injury.
• Fuels can also be harmful if absorbedthrough the skin. If fuel is splashed on theskin, clothing or both, promptly removecontaminated clothing and wash skinthoroughly with soap and water.Repeated or prolonged skin contact withfuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation.
• Be particularly careful if you are takingAntabuse or other forms of Disulfiram forthe treatment of alcoholism. Breathinggasoline vapors could cause an adversereaction, serious personal injury orsickness. If fuel is splashed on the skin,wash the affected areas immediatelywith plenty of soap and water. Consult aphysician immediately if you experienceany adverse reactions.

We recommend regular unleaded gasolinewith a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87.Some stations offer fuels posted as regularwith an octane rating below 87, particularlyin high altitude areas. We do not recommendfuels with an octane rating below 87. Toprovide improved performance, werecommend premium fuel for severe dutyusage such as trailer tow.Do not use any fuel other than thoserecommended because they could lead toengine damage that may not be covered bythe vehicle Warranty.Note: Use of any fuel other than thoserecommended can impair the emission controlsystem and cause a loss of vehicleperformance.Do not use:• Diesel fuel.• Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.• Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
or E85 fuel.• Fuels containing methanol.• Fuels containing metallic-based
additives, including manganese-basedcompounds.
• Fuels containing the octane boosteradditive, methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
• Leaded fuel (using leaded fuel isprohibited by law).
The use of fuels with metallic compoundssuch as methylcyclopentadienyl manganesetricarbonyl (commonly known as MMT),which is a manganese-based fuel additive,will impair engine performance and affectthe emission control system.Do not be concerned if the engine sometimesknocks lightly. However, if it knocks heavilyunder most driving conditions while you areusing fuel with the recommended octanerating, contact an authorized dealer toprevent any engine damage.
FUEL FILLER FUNNEL LOCATIONThe fuel filler funnel is located in the sparewheel storage tray.
RUNNING OUT OF FUELRunning out of fuel can cause damage notcovered by the vehicle Warranty.
If your vehicle runs out of fuel:• Add a minimum of 1.3 gal (5 L) of fuel to
restart the engine. If your vehicle is out offuel and on a steep slope, more fuel maybe required.
• You may need to switch the ignition fromoff to on several times after refueling toallow the fuel system to pump the fuelfrom the tank to the engine. Whenrestarting, cranking time takes a fewseconds longer than normal.
Filling a Portable Fuel ContainerUse the following guidelines to avoidelectrostatic charge build-up when filling anungrounded fuel container:• Only use an approved fuel container to
transfer fuel to your vehicle. Place thecontainer on the ground when filling it.
• Do not fill a fuel container when it is insideyour vehicle (including the cargo area).
• Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact withthe fuel container when filling it.
• Do not use a device that holds the fuelpump nozzle lever in the fill position.

5. To close the fuel filler door, press thecenter-rear edge of the fuel filler door andthen release. The fuel door will latchclosed.
If the fuel fill inlet did not close properly, aCheck Fuel Fill Inlet message may appearon the instrument cluster.At the next opportunity, do the following:1. Safely pull off the road.2. Put the vehicle in position P and switch
the ignition off.3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any
visible debris from the fuel fill opening.4. Insert the fuel fill nozzle, or the fuel fill
funnel provided with the vehicle, severaltimes to allow the inlet to close properly.This will dislodge any debris preventingthe inlet from sealing.
If this action corrects the problem, themessage may not reset immediately. It maytake several driving cycles for the messageto turn off. A driving cycle consists of anengine start-up (after four or more hours withthe engine off) followed by city or highwaydriving. Continuing to drive with the messageon may cause the service engine soon lampto turn on as well.
FUEL CONSUMPTIONEmpty reserve is the amount of fuelremaining in the tank after the fuel gaugeindicates empty. The amount of usable fuelin the empty reserve varies and should notbe relied upon to increase driving range.• The usable capacity of the fuel tank is the
amount of fuel that can be added intothe tank after the gauge indicates empty.
• The advertised capacity is the total fueltank size. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 296). It is thecombined usable capacity plus the emptyreserve.
• Due to the empty reserve, you may notbe able to refuel the full amount of theadvertised capacity of the fuel tank evenwhen the fuel gauge reads empty.
Filling the TankFor consistent results when refueling:• Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
inaccurate reading results if the engine isleft running.
• Use the same fill rate (low-medium-high)each time the tank is filled.
• Allow no more than one automaticshut-off when refueling.
Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.
Calculating Fuel EconomyDo not measure fuel economy during the first1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this is yourengine’s break-in period). A more accuratemeasurement is obtained after 2,000 mi(3,200 km) to 3,000 mi (4,800 km). Also,fuel expense, frequency of fill ups or fuelgauge readings are not accurate ways tomeasure fuel economy.1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record
the initial odometer reading.2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, record the
amount of fuel added.3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel
tank and record the current odometerreading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer readingfrom the current odometer reading.
To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply theliters used by 100, then divide by kilometerstraveled. To calculate MPG (miles pergallon) fuel consumption, divide milestraveled by gallons used.

Keep a record for at least one month andrecord the type of driving (city or highway).This provides an accurate estimate of yourvehicle’s fuel economy under current drivingconditions. Keeping records during summerand winter will show how temperatureimpacts fuel economy.
Conditions• Heavily loading your vehicle reduces fuel
economy.• Carrying unnecessary weight in your
vehicle may reduce fuel economy.• Adding certain accessories to your vehicle
such as bug deflectors, rollbars or lightbars, running boards and ski racks mayreduce fuel economy.
• Using fuel blended with alcohol maylower fuel economy.
• Fuel economy may decrease with lowertemperatures.
• Fuel economy may decrease when drivingshort distances.
• You will get better fuel economy whendriving on flat terrain than when drivingon hilly terrain.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
WARNINGSDo not park, idle, or drive your vehiclein dry grass or other dry ground cover.The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system,which can start a fire.
Exhaust leaks may result in entry ofharmful and potentially lethal fumesinto the passenger compartment. If you
smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, haveyour dealer inspect your vehicle immediately.Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
Your vehicle is equipped with variousemission control components and a catalyticconverter that will enable your vehicle tocomply with applicable exhaust emissionstandards.To make sure that the catalytic converter andother emission control components continueto work properly:• Use only the specified fuel listed.• Avoid running out of fuel.
• Do not turn off the ignition while yourvehicle is moving, especially at highspeeds.
• Have the items listed in scheduledmaintenance information performedaccording to the specified schedule.
The scheduled maintenance items listed inscheduled maintenance information areessential to the life and performance of yourvehicle and to its emissions system.If you use anything other than Ford,Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts formaintenance replacements or for service ofcomponents affecting emission control, suchnon-Ford parts should be equivalent togenuine Ford Motor Company parts inperformance and durability.Illumination of the service engine soonindicator, charging system warning light orthe temperature warning light, fluid leaks,strange odors, smoke or loss of engine powercould indicate that the emission controlsystem is not working properly.An improperly operating or damaged exhaustsystem may allow exhaust to enter thevehicle. Have a damaged or improperlyoperating exhaust system inspected andrepaired immediately.

Do not make any unauthorized changes toyour vehicle or engine. By law, vehicle ownersand anyone who manufactures, repairs,services, sells, leases, trades vehicles, orsupervises a fleet of vehicles are notpermitted to intentionally remove anemission control device or prevent it fromworking. Information about your vehicle’semission system is on the Vehicle EmissionControl Information Decal located on or nearthe engine. This decal also lists enginedisplacement.Please consult your warranty information forcomplete details.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II)Your vehicle has a computer known as theon-board diagnostics system (OBD-II) thatmonitors the engine’s emission controlsystem. The system protects theenvironment by making sure that your vehiclecontinues to meet government emissionstandards. The OBD-II system also assists aservice technician in properly servicing yourvehicle.
When the service engine soonindicator illuminates, the OBD-IIsystem has detected a
malfunction. Temporary malfunctions maycause the service engine soon indicator toilluminate. Examples are:
1. Your vehicle has run out of fuel—theengine may misfire or run poorly.
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel—theengine may misfire or run poorly.
3. The fuel fill inlet may not have closedproperly. See Refueling (page 134).
4. Driving through deep water—the electricalsystem may be wet.
You can correct these temporarymalfunctions by filling the fuel tank with goodquality fuel, properly closing the fuel fill inletor letting the electrical system dry out. Afterthree driving cycles without these or anyother temporary malfunctions present, theservice engine soon indicator should stay offthe next time you start the engine. A drivingcycle consists of a cold engine startupfollowed by mixed city and highway driving.No additional vehicle service is required.
If the service engine soon indicator remainson, have your vehicle serviced at the firstavailable opportunity. Although somemalfunctions detected by the OBD-II maynot have symptoms that are apparent,continued driving with the service enginesoon indicator on can result in increasedemissions, lower fuel economy, reducedengine and transmission smoothness andlead to more costly repairs.
Readiness for Inspection andMaintenance (I/M) TestingSome state and provincial and localgovernments may haveInspection/Maintenance (I/M) programs toinspect the emission control equipment onyour vehicle. Failure to pass this inspectioncould prevent you from getting a vehicleregistration.
If the service engine soon indicatoris on or the bulb does not work,your vehicle may need service. See

Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if theservice engine soon indicator is on or notworking properly (bulb is burned out), or ifthe OBD-II system has determined that someof the emission control systems have notbeen properly checked. In this case, thevehicle is not ready for I/M testing.If the vehicle’s engine or transmission has justbeen serviced, or the battery has recently rundown or been replaced, the OBD-II systemmay indicate that the vehicle is not ready forI/M testing. To determine if the vehicle isready for I/M testing, turn the ignition key tothe on position for 15 seconds withoutcranking the engine. If the service engine soonindicator blinks eight times, it means that thevehicle is not ready for I/M testing; if theservice engine soon indicator stays on solid,it means that your vehicle is ready for I/Mtesting.The OBD-II system checks the emissioncontrol system during normal driving. Acomplete check may take several days.If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing, youcan perform the following driving cycleconsisting of mixed city and highway driving:1. 15 minutes of steady driving on an
expressway or highway followed by 20minutes of stop-and-go driving with atleast four 30-second idle periods.
2. Allow your vehicle to sit for at least eighthours with the ignition off. Then, start thevehicle and complete the above drivingcycle. The vehicle must warm up to itsnormal operating temperature. Oncestarted, do not turn off the vehicle untilthe above driving cycle is complete.
If the vehicle is still not ready for I/M testing,you need to repeat the above driving cycle.

USING ALL-WHEEL DRIVEAll-wheel drive uses all four wheels to powerthe vehicle. This increases traction, enablingyou to drive over terrain and road conditionsthat a conventional two-wheel drive vehiclecannot. The AWD system is active all the timeand requires no input from the operator.
Note: Your AWD vehicle is not intended foroff-road use. The AWD feature gives yourvehicle some limited off-road capabilities inwhich driving surfaces are relatively level,obstruction-free and otherwise similar tonormal on-road driving conditions. Operatingyour vehicle under other than those conditionscould subject the vehicle to excessive stresswhich might result in damage which is notcovered under your warranty.Note: When an AWD system fault is present,the warning Check AWD displays in theinformation display. The AWD system is notfunctioning correctly and defaults tofront-wheel drive. When this warning displays,have your vehicle serviced at an authorizeddealer.
Note: The AWD OFF message may alsoappear in the information display if the AWDsystem overheats and defaults to front-wheeldrive. This may occur if the vehicle is operatedin extreme conditions with excessive wheelslip, such as deep sand. To resume normalAWD function as soon as possible, stop thevehicle in a safe location and stop the enginefor at least 10 minutes. After the engine hasbeen restarted and the AWD system hasadequately cooled, the AWD OFF messagewill turn off and normal AWD function returns.If the engine is not stopped, the AWD OFFmessage turns off when the system cools andnormal AWD function returns.

The system will resumenormal function and clear this message after cycling the ignition onand off and driving a short distance with the road tire re-installed orafter the system is allowed to cool.
AWD OFF
Displayed in conjunction with the powertrain malfunction/reducedpower light when the system is not operating properly. If the warningstays on or continues to come on, contact your authorized dealer assoon as possible.
Check AWD
Operating AWD Vehicles With SpareTiresA spare tire of a different size other than thetire provided should never be used. The AWDsystem may disable automatically and enterfront-wheel drive only mode to protectdriveline components if a non-full sized tireis installed. This condition may display anAWD OFF message in the informationdisplay. If there is an AWD OFF message inthe information display from using a non-fullsized spare tire, this indicator should turn offafter reinstalling the repaired or replacednormal road tire and cycling the ignition off
and on. It is recommended to reinstall therepaired or replaced road tire as soon aspossible. Major dissimilar tire sizes betweenthe front and rear axles (for example, 17 inchlow profile tires on the front axle and 22 inchhigh profile tires on the rear axle) could causethe AWD system to stop functioning anddefault to front-wheel drive or damage theAWD system.

Operating AWD Vehicles WithMismatched Tires
WARNINGOnly use replacement tires and wheelsthat are the same size, load index,speed rating and type (such as
P-metric versus LT-metric or all-seasonversus all-terrain) as those originally providedby Ford. The recommended tire and wheelsize may be found on either the SafetyCompliance Certification Label (affixed toeither the door hinge pillar, door-latch post,or the door edge that meets the door-latchpost, next to the driver’s seating position), orthe Tire Label which is located on the B-Pillaror edge of the driver’s door. If this informationis not found on these labels, then you shouldcontact your authorized dealer as soon aspossible. Use of any tire or wheel notrecommended by Ford can affect the safetyand performance of your vehicle, which couldresult in an increased risk of loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, personal injury anddeath. Additionally the use ofnon-recommended tires and wheels couldcause steering, suspension, axle, transfercase or power transfer unit failure. If you havequestions regarding tire replacement, contactyour authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Major dissimilar tire sizes between the frontand rear axles (for example, 17 inch lowprofile tires on the front axle and 22 inch highprofile tires on the rear axle) could cause theAWD system to stop functioning and defaultto front-wheel drive or damage the AWDsystem. However, the AWD system is capableof tolerating any combination of new andworn tires of the same original tire size. Forexample, using 3 worn tread tires and 1 newtread tire all of the same original tire size, canbe tolerated by the AWD system.
Driving In Special Conditions WithAll-Wheel Drive (AWD)AWD vehicles are equipped for driving onsand, snow, mud and rough roads and haveoperating characteristics that are somewhatdifferent from conventional vehicles, both onand off the highway.When driving at slow speeds in deep sandunder high outside temperatures, use a lowgear when possible. Lower gear operationwill maximize the engine and transmissioncooling capability.Under severe operating conditions, the A/Cmay cycle on and off to protect overheatingof the engine.
Basic operating principles in specialconditions• Drive slower in strong crosswinds which
can affect the normal steeringcharacteristics of your vehicle.
• Be extremely careful when driving onpavement made slippery by loose sand,water, gravel, snow or ice.

If Your Vehicle Goes Off the Edge of thePavement• If your vehicle goes off the edge of the
pavement, slow down, but avoid severebrake application, ease the vehicle backonto the pavement only after reducingyour speed. Do not turn the steeringwheel too sharply while returning to theroad surface.
• It may be safer to stay on the apron orshoulder of the road and slow downgradually before returning to thepavement. You may lose control if you donot slow down or if you turn the steeringwheel too sharply or abruptly.
• It often may be less risky to strike smallobjects, such as highway reflectors, withminor damage to your vehicle rather thanattempt a sudden return to the pavementwhich could cause the vehicle to slidesideways out of control or rollover.Remember, your safety and the safety ofothers should be your primary concern.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck
WARNINGSAlways set the parking brake fully andmake sure the transmission is in P(Park). Turn the ignition to the lock
position or turn the vehicle off using thestart/stop button and remove the keywhenever you leave your vehicle.
If the parking brake is fully released, butthe brake warning lamp remainsilluminated, the brakes may not be
working properly. See your authorized dealer.Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph(56 km/h). The tires may fail and injurea passenger or bystander.
Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the engine isnot at normal operating temperature ordamage to the transmission may occur.Note: Do not rock the vehicle for more than afew minutes or damage to the transmissionand tires may occur or the engine mayoverheat.If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow itmay be rocked out by shifting betweenforward and reverse gears, stopping betweenshifts, in a steady pattern. Press lightly on theaccelerator in each gear.
If your vehicle is equipped withAdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™,it may be beneficial to disengage theAdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™system while attempting to rock the vehicle.
Emergency Maneuvers• In an unavoidable emergency situation
where a sudden sharp turn must bemade, remember to avoid "over-driving"your vehicle (that is, turn the steeringwheel only as rapidly and as far asrequired to avoid the emergency).Excessive steering will result in lessvehicle control, not more. Additionally,smooth variations of the acceleratorand/or brake pedal pressure should beutilized if changes in vehicle speed arecalled for. Avoid abrupt steering,

acceleration or braking which could resultin an increased risk of loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover and/or personalinjury. Use all available road surface toreturn the vehicle to a safe direction oftravel.
• In the event of an emergency stop, avoidskidding the tires and do not attempt anysharp steering wheel movements.
• If the vehicle goes from one type ofsurface to another (that is, from concreteto gravel) there will be a change in theway the vehicle responds to a maneuver(steering, acceleration or braking). Again,avoid these abrupt inputs.
SandMost of the time traction control improvestire traction by managing wheel slip throughBrake, Engine, and AWD calibrations.However, during low speed driving, disablingtraction control in deep sand can help keepthe wheels moving to maintain vehiclemomentum.When driving over sand, try to keep all fourwheels on the most solid area of the trail.Avoid reducing the tire pressures but shift toa lower gear and drive steadily through theterrain. Apply the accelerator slowly andavoid spinning the wheels.
Do not drive your vehicle in deep sand for anextended period of time. This could causethe AWD system to overheat and default tofront-wheel drive. If this occurs, an AWD OFFmessage displays in the information display.To resume normal AWD function as soon aspossible, stop the vehicle in a safe locationand stop the engine for at least 10 minutes.After the engine has been restarted and theAWD system has adequately cooled, theAWD OFF message turns off and normalAWD function returns. In the event the engineis not stopped, the AWD OFF message turnsoff when the system cools and normal AWDfunction returns.When driving at slow speeds in deep sandunder high outside temperatures, use L (Low)gear when possible. L (Low) gear operationwill maximize the engine and transmissioncooling capability.Under severe operating conditions, the A/Cmay cycle on and off to protect overheatingof the engine.Avoid excessive speed because vehiclemomentum can work against you and causethe vehicle to become stuck to the point thatassistance may be required from anothervehicle. Remember, you may be able to backout the way you came if you proceed withcaution.
Mud and WaterIf you must drive through high water, driveslowly. Traction or brake capability may belimited.When driving through water, determine thedepth; avoid water higher than the bottomof the wheel rims (for cars) or the bottom ofthe hubs (for trucks) (if possible) andproceed slowly. If the ignition system getswet, the vehicle may stall.Once through water, always try the brakes.Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle aseffectively as dry brakes. Drying can beimproved by moving your vehicle slowly whileapplying light pressure on the brake pedal.Be cautious of sudden changes in vehiclespeed or direction when you are driving inmud. Even AWD vehicles can lose traction inslick mud. As when you are driving over sand,apply the accelerator slowly and avoidspinning your wheels. If the vehicle does slide,steer in the direction of the slide until youregain control of the vehicle.After driving through mud, clean off residuestuck to rotating driveshafts and tires. Excessmud stuck on tires and rotating driveshaftscauses an imbalance that could damagedrive components.

“Tread Lightly” is an educational programdesigned to increase public awareness ofland-use regulations and responsibilities inour nations wilderness areas. Ford MotorCompany joins the U.S. Forest Service andthe Bureau of Land Management inencouraging you to help preserve our nationalforest and other public and private lands by“treading lightly.”
Driving on Hilly or Sloping TerrainNote: Avoid driving crosswise or turning onsteep slopes or hills. A danger lies in losingtraction, slipping sideways and possibly rollingover. Whenever driving on a hill, determinebeforehand the route you will use. Do not driveover the crest of a hill without seeing whatconditions are on the other side. Do not drivein reverse over a hill without the aid of anobserver.Although natural obstacles may make itnecessary to travel diagonally up or down ahill or steep incline, you should always try todrive straight up or straight down.When climbing a steep slope or hill, start ina lower gear rather than downshifting to alower gear from a higher gear once the ascenthas started. This reduces strain on the engineand the possibility of stalling.If you do stall out, do not try to turnaroundbecause you might roll over. It is better toback down to a safe location.Apply just enough power to the wheels toclimb the hill. Too much power will cause thetires to slip, spin or lose traction, resulting inloss of vehicle control.
E143949
Descend a hill in the same gear you woulduse to climb up the hill to avoid excessivebrake application and brake overheating. Donot descend in neutral; instead, disengageoverdrive or manually shift to a lower gear.When descending a steep hill, avoid suddenhard braking as you could lose control. Thefront wheels have to be turning in order tosteer the vehicle.Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, thereforeapply the brakes steadily. Do not “pump” thebrakes.

Driving on Snow and Ice
WARNINGIf you are driving in slippery conditionsthat require tire chains or cables, thenit is critical that you drive cautiously.
Keep speeds down, allow for longer stoppingdistances and avoid aggressive steering toreduce the chances of a loss of vehiclecontrol which can lead to serious injury ordeath. If the rear end of the vehicle slideswhile cornering, steer in the direction of theslide until you regain control of the vehicle.
Note: Excessive tire slippage can causedriveline damage.AWD vehicles have advantages over 2WDvehicles in snow and ice but can skid like anyother vehicle.Should you start to slide while driving onsnowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheelin the direction of the slide until you regaincontrol.Avoid sudden applications of power andquick changes of direction on snow and ice.Apply the accelerator slowly and steadilywhen starting from a full stop.
Avoid sudden braking as well. Although anAWD vehicle may accelerate better than atwo-wheel drive vehicle in snow and ice, itwon’t stop any faster, because as in othervehicles, braking occurs at all four wheels.Do not become overconfident as to roadconditions.Make sure you allow sufficient distancebetween you and other vehicles for stopping.Drive slower than usual and consider usingone of the lower gears. In emergencystopping situations, apply the brake steadily.Since your vehicle is equipped with a fourwheel (ABS), do not “pump” the brakes. SeeHints on Driving With Anti-Lock Brakes(page 150).
Maintenance and ModificationsThe suspension and steering systems on yourvehicle have been designed and tested toprovide predictable performance whetherloaded or empty and durable load carryingcapability. For this reason, Ford MotorCompany strongly recommends that you donot make modifications such as adding orremoving parts (such as lowering kits orstabilizer bars) or by using replacement partsnot equivalent to the original factoryequipment.
Any modifications to a vehicle that raise thecenter of gravity can make it more likely thevehicle will rollover as a result of a loss ofcontrol. Ford Motor Company recommendsthat caution be used with any vehicleequipped with a high load or device (such asladder or luggage racks).Failure to maintain your vehicle properly mayvoid the warranty, increase your repair cost,reduce vehicle performance and operationalcapabilities and adversely affect driver andpassenger safety. Frequent inspection ofvehicle chassis components is recommendedif the vehicle is subjected to off-highwayusage.

GENERAL INFORMATIONNote: Occasional brake noise is normal. If ametal-to-metal, continuous grinding orcontinuous squeal sound is present, the brakelinings may be worn-out. Have the systemchecked by an authorized dealer. If your vehiclehas continuous vibration or shudder in thesteering wheel while braking, have it checkedby an authorized dealer.Note: Brake dust may accumulate on thewheels, even under normal driving conditions.Some dust is inevitable as the brakes wearand does not contribute to brake noise. SeeCleaning the Alloy Wheels (page 268).Note: Depending on applicable laws andregulations in the country for which yourvehicle was originally built, your brake lampsmay flash during heavy braking. Following this,your hazard lights may also flash when yourvehicle comes to a stop.
E144522
See Warning Lamps andIndicators (page 85).
Wet brakes result in reduced brakingefficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a fewtimes when driving from a car wash orstanding water to dry the brakes.
Brake Over AcceleratorIn the event the accelerator pedal becomesstuck or entrapped, apply steady and firmpressure to the brake pedal to slow thevehicle and reduce engine power. If youexperience this condition, apply the brakesand bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Movethe transmission to park (P), switch theengine off and apply the parking brake.Inspect the accelerator pedal for anyinterference. If none are found and thecondition persists, have your vehicle towedto the nearest authorized dealer.
Brake AssistBrake assist detects when you brake rapidlyby measuring the rate at which you press thebrake pedal. It provides maximum brakingefficiency as long as you press the pedal, andcan reduce stopping distances in criticalsituations.
Anti-lock Brake SystemThis system helps you maintain steeringcontrol during emergency stops by keepingthe brakes from locking.
This lamp momentarily illuminateswhen you turn the ignition on. If thelight does not illuminate during
start up, remains on or flashes, the systemmay be disabled. Have the system checkedby an authorized dealer. If the anti-lock brakesystem is disabled, normal braking is stilleffective.
E144522
If the brake warning lampilluminates when you release theparking brake, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKESNote: When the system is operating, the brakepedal may pulse and may travel further.Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You mayalso hear a noise from the system. This isnormal.The anti-lock braking system will noteliminate the risks when:• You drive too closely to the vehicle in
front of you.• Your vehicle is hydroplaning.• You take corners too fast.• The road surface is poor.

could result in reduced braking ability,increased stopping distances and potentialloss of brakes. See your authorized dealer assoon as possible.
Always set the parking brake fully andmake sure the transmission is placedin park (P). Failure to set the parking
brake and engage park could result in vehicleroll-away, property damage or bodily injury.Turn the ignition to the lock position andremove the key whenever you leave yourvehicle.
To set the parking brake, press the parkingbrake pedal down to its fullest extent.To release the parking brake, press theparking brake pedal down again.
HILL START ASSIST
WARNINGSThe system does not replace theparking brake. When you leave yourvehicle, always apply the parking brake.
Failure to leave your vehicle securely parkedmay lead to a crash or injury. See ParkingBrake (page 151).
You must remain in your vehicle whenthe system turns on. At all times, youare responsible for controlling your
vehicle, supervising the system andintervening, if required. Failure to take caremay result in the loss of control of yourvehicle, serious personal injury or death.
The system will turn off if a malfunctionis apparent or if you rev the engineexcessively. Failure to take care may
result in the loss of control of your vehicle,serious personal injury or death.
The system makes it easier to pull awaywhen your vehicle is on a slope without theneed to use the parking brake.
When the system is active, your vehicleremains stationary on the slope for two tothree seconds after you release the brakepedal. This allows time to move your footfrom the brake to the accelerator pedal. Thesystem releases the brakes automaticallyonce the engine has developed sufficienttorque to prevent your vehicle from rollingdown the slope. This is an advantage whenpulling away on a slope, for example from acar park ramp, traffic lights or when reversinguphill into a parking space.Note: The system only functions when youbring your vehicle to a complete standstill inan uphill gear (for example, drive (D) whenfacing uphill or reverse (R) when facingdownhill).Note: There is no warning light to indicate thesystem is either on or off.
Using Hill Start Assist1. Press the brake pedal to bring your
vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep thebrake pedal pressed.
2. If the sensors detect that your vehicle ison a slope, the system activatesautomatically.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATIONThe traction control system helps avoid drivewheel spin and loss of traction.If your vehicle begins to slide, the systemapplies the brakes to individual wheels and,when needed, reduces engine power at thesame time. If the wheels spin whenaccelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,the system reduces engine power in order toincrease traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
WARNINGThe stability and traction control lightilluminates steadily if the systemdetects a failure. Make sure you did not
manually disable the traction control systemusing the information display controls or theswitch. If the stability control and tractioncontrol light is still illuminating steadily, havethe system serviced by an authorized dealerimmediately. Operating your vehicle with thetraction control disabled could lead to anincreased risk of loss of vehicle control,vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
The system automatically turns on each timeyou switch the ignition on.If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,switching traction control off may bebeneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.Note: When you switch traction control off,stability control remains fully active.
Switching the System OffWhen you switch the system off or on, amessage appears in the information displayshowing system status.You can switch the system off by either usingthe information display controls or the switch.
Using the Information DisplayControlsYou can switch this feature off or on in theinformation display. See Using TractionControl (page 153).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGSVehicle modifications involving brakingsystem, aftermarket roof racks,suspension, steering system, tire
construction and wheel and tire size maychange the handling characteristics of yourvehicle and may adversely affect theperformance of the electronic stabilitycontrol system. In addition, installing anystereo loudspeakers may interfere with andadversely affect the electronic stabilitycontrol system. Install any aftermarket stereoloudspeaker as far as possible from the frontcenter console, the tunnel, and the frontseats in order to minimize the risk ofinterfering with the electronic stability controlsensors. Reducing the effectiveness of theelectronic stability control system could leadto an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
Remember that even advancedtechnology cannot defy the laws ofphysics. It’s always possible to lose
control of a vehicle due to inappropriatedriver input for the conditions. Aggressivedriving on any road condition can cause youto lose control of your vehicle increasing therisk of personal injury or property damage.
WARNINGSActivation of the electronic stability controlsystem is an indication that at least some ofthe tires have exceeded their ability to gripthe road; this could reduce the operator’sability to control the vehicle potentiallyresulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehiclerollover, personal injury and death. If yourelectronic stability control system activates,SLOW DOWN.
The system automatically turns on each timeyou switch the ignition on.If a driving condition activates either thestability control or the traction control systemyou may experience the following conditions:• The stability and traction control light
flashes.• Your vehicle slows down.• Reduced engine power.• A vibration in the brake pedal.
• The brake pedal is stiffer than usual.• If the driving condition is severe and your
foot is not on the brake, the brake pedalmay move as the system applies higherbrake forces.
The stability control system has severalfeatures built into it to help you maintaincontrol of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability ControlThe system enhances your vehicle’s abilityto prevent skids or lateral slides by applyingbrakes to one or more of the wheelsindividually and, if necessary, reducing enginepower.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGSTo help avoid personal injury, pleaseread and understand the limitations ofthe system as contained in this section.
Sensing is only an aid for some (generallylarge and fixed) objects when moving on aflat surface at parking speeds. Certain objectswith surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves,surrounding vehicle's parking aid systems,traffic control systems, fluorescent lamps,inclement weather, air brakes, and externalmotors and fans may also affect the functionof the sensing system; this may includereduced performance or a false activation.
To help avoid personal injury, alwaysuse caution when in reverse (R) andwhen using the sensing system.This system is not designed to preventcontact with small or moving objects.The system is designed to provide a
warning to assist the driver in detecting largestationary objects to avoid damaging yourvehicle. The system may not detect smallerobjects, particularly those close to theground.
WARNINGSCertain add-on devices such as largetrailer hitches, bike or surfboard racksand any device that may block the
normal detection zone of the system, maycreate false beeps.
Note: Keep the sensors, located on thebumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and largeaccumulations of dirt. If the sensors arecovered, the system’s accuracy can beaffected. Do not clean the sensors with sharpobjects.Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to thebumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent,the sensing zone may be altered causinginaccurate measurement of obstacles or falsealarms.Note: The sensing system cannot be turnedoff when a MyKey is present. See Principleof Operation (page 50).Note: If you attach certain add-on devicessuch as a trailer or bike rack, the rear sensingsystem may detect that add-on device andtherefore provide warnings. It is suggested thatyou disable the rear sensing system when youattach an add-on device to your vehicle toprevent these warnings.
The sensing system warns the driver ofobstacles within a certain range of yourvehicle. The system turns on automaticallywhenever you switch the ignition on.The system can be switched off through theinformation display menu or from the pop-upmessage that appears once you shift thetransmission into reverse (R). See GeneralInformation (page 89).If a fault is present in the system, a warningmessage appears in the information display.See Information Messages (page 95).
REAR PARKING AIDThe rear sensors are only active when thetransmission is in reverse (R). As your vehiclemoves closer to the obstacle, the rate of theaudible warning increases. When theobstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away, thewarning sounds continuously. If the systemdetects a stationary or receding object fartherthan 12 in (30 cm) from the corners of thebumper, the tone sounds for only threeseconds. Once the system detects an objectapproaching, the warning sounds again.

If the transmission is in drive (D) or any otherforward gear (for example, low (L), sport (S)or any forward gear in a manualtransmission), the front sensing systemprovides audio warnings when your vehicleis moving below a speed of 7 mph (12 km/h)and an obstacle is located inside thedetection area.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (If Equipped)
WARNINGSDesigned to be a supplementary parkaid, this system may not work in allconditions. This system cannot replace
the driver’s attention and judgment. Thedriver is responsible for avoiding hazards andmaintaining a safe distance and speed, evenwhen the system is in use.
Active Park Assist does not apply thebrakes under any circumstances.
Note: The driver is always responsible forcontrolling the vehicle, supervising the systemand intervening if required by grabbing thesteering wheel or pressing the active parkassist button (if equipped).
Note: The sensors may not detect objects inheavy rain, snow or other conditions that causedisruptive reflections.Note: Keep the sensors, located on thebumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and largeaccumulations of dirt. Covered sensors canaffect the system's accuracy. Do not clean thesensors with sharp objects.Note: The sensors may not detect objectswith surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves.Active Park Assist is an electric parking aidthat uses ultrasonic sensors. The systemdetects an available parallel parking spaceand automatically steers your vehicle intothe space (hands-free) while you control theaccelerator, gearshift and brakes. The systemvisually and audibly instructs you to park yourvehicle.The system may not function correctly ifsomething passes between the front bumperand the parking space (a pedestrian orcyclist) or if the edge of the neighboringparked vehicle is high off the ground (forexample, a bus, tow truck or flatbed truck).If you are uncomfortable with the proximityto any vehicle or object, you may choose tooverride the system.
The system may not operate correctly in anyof the following conditions:• You use a spare tire or a tire significantly
worn more than the other tires.• One or more tires are improperly inflated.• You try to park on a tight curve.Do not use the system if:• You have attached a bike rack, trailer or
similar object to the front or rear of yourvehicle, close to the sensors.
• You have attached an overhanging object(surfboard) to the roof.
• The front bumper or side sensors aredamaged or obstructed (front bumpercover).

Troubleshooting the System
The system does not look for a space
The traction control system may be off.
The transmission is in reverse (R); your vehicle must be moving forward to detect a parking space.
The system does not offer a particular space
The sensors may be covered (for example, snow, ice or dirt buildup). Covered sensors can affect the system's functionality
There is not enough room in the parking space for your vehicle to safely park.
There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parking space.
The parking space is farther than 5 ft (1.5 m) or closer than 16 in (40 cm) away.
Your vehicle is going faster than 22 mph (35 km/h).
The transmission is in reverse (R). Your vehicle must be moving forward to be able to detect a parking space.

The system does not position your vehicle where I want in the space
Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the transmission (rolling forward when reverse [R] is selected).
An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from aligning your vehicle properly.
Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be positioned correctly.
Your vehicle was pulled too far past the parking space. The system performs best when you drive the same distance past the parking space.
The tires may not be installed or maintained correctly (not inflated correctly, improper size, or of different sizes).
A repair or alteration has changed detection capabilities.
A parked vehicle has a high attachment (salt sprayer, snowplow, moving truck bed, etc).
The parking space length or position of parked objects changed after your vehicle passed.
The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly (driving from a heated garage into the cold, or after leaving a car wash).
You didn't wait for the steering to complete its rotation after a gear change. The system performs best when the steering wheel is allowedto finish rotating before accelerating.
REAR VIEW CAMERA
WARNINGSThe rear view camera system is areverse aid supplement device that stillrequires the driver to use it in
conjunction with the interior and exteriormirrors for maximum coverage.
WARNINGSObjects that are close to either cornerof the bumper or under the bumper,might not be seen on the screen due to
the limited coverage of the camera system.Back up as slow as possible sincehigher speeds might limit your reactiontime to stop the vehicle.
WARNINGSUse caution when using the rear videocamera and the trunk is ajar. If the trunkis ajar, the camera will be out of

The rear view camera system provides avideo image of the area behind your vehicle.The image will display in either the rear viewmirror or the display in the center of theinstrument panel.During operation, lines will appear in thedisplay that represent your vehicle’s path andproximity to objects behind your vehicle.
E192471
The camera is located on the trunk.
Using the Rear View Camera SystemThe rear view camera system displays whatis behind your vehicle when you place thetransmission in Reverse (R).The system uses three types of guides to helpyou see what is behind your vehicle:• Active guidelines: Show the intended
path of your vehicle when reversing.• Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path
your vehicle is moving in while reversingin a straight line. This can be helpful whenbacking into a parking space or aligningyour vehicle with another object behindyou.
• Centerline (if applicable): Helps align thecenter of your vehicle with an object(trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in Reverse (R) andthe luggage compartment is ajar, no rear viewcamera features will display.Note: If the image comes on while thetransmission is not in Reverse (R), have thesystem inspected by an authorized dealer.
Note: When towing, the camera only seeswhat you are towing behind your vehicle. Thismight not provide adequate coverage and youmight not see some objects. In some vehicles,the guidelines may disappear once youconnect the trailer tow connector.The camera may not operate correctly underthe following conditions:• Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse
lamps are not operating.• Mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft,lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
• The camera is misaligned due to damageto the rear of your vehicle.
The rear view camera system settings canbe accessed through the information display.See General Information (page 89). Afterchanging a system setting, the touch screenshows a preview of the selected features.
Guidelines and the CenterlineNote: Active guidelines and fixed guidelinesare only available when the transmission is inReverse (R).Note: The centerline is only available if Activeor Fixed guidelines are on.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATIONCruise control lets you maintain a set speedwithout keeping your foot on the acceleratorpedal. You can use cruise control when yourvehicle speed is greater than 20 mph(30 km/h).
USING CRUISE CONTROL
WARNINGSDo not use cruise control on windingroads, in heavy traffic or when the roadsurface is slippery. This could result in
loss of vehicle control, serious injury or death.When you are going downhill, yourvehicle speed may increase above theset speed. The system will not apply
the brakes. Change down a gear to assist thesystem in maintaining the set speed. Failureto do so could result in loss of vehicle control,serious injury or death.
Note: Cruise control will disengage if thevehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph(16 km/h) below the set speed while drivinguphill.

USING ADAPTIVE CRUISECONTROL (If Equipped)
WARNINGSAlways pay close attention to changingroad conditions when using adaptivecruise control. The system does not
replace attentive driving. Failing to payattention to the road may result in a crash,serious injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control is not a crashwarning or avoidance system.Adaptive cruise control will not detectstationary or slow moving vehiclesbelow 6 mph (10 km/h).Adaptive cruise control does not detectpedestrians or objects in the road.Adaptive cruise control does not detectoncoming vehicles in the same lane.
WARNINGSDo not use the adaptive cruise controlwhen entering or leaving a highway, inheavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, slippery or unpaved.Do not use the system in poor visibility,for example fog, heavy rain, spray orsnow.Do not use adaptive cruise controlwhen towing a trailer that has trailerbrakes. The auto-brake component of
the adaptive cruise control system does notoperate the trailer brakes. Using adaptivecruise control when towing a trailer that hastrailer brakes may result in the loss of vehiclecontrol, which could result in serious injury.
Do not use tire sizes other than thoserecommended because this can affectthe normal operation of the system.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehiclecontrol, which could result in serious injury.
Note: It is your responsibility to stay alert, drivesafely and be in control of the vehicle at alltimes.The system adjusts your speed to maintaina proper distance between you and thevehicle in front of you in the same lane. Youcan select from one of four gap settings.

5. A vehicle graphic illuminates if there is avehicle detected in front of you.
Note: When adaptive cruise control is active,the speedometer may vary slightly from theset speed displayed in the information display.
Following a VehicleWARNINGS
When following a vehicle in front of you,your vehicle will not decelerateautomatically to a stop, nor will your
vehicle always decelerate quickly enough toavoid a crash without driver intervention.Always apply the brakes when necessary.Failing to do so may result in a crash, seriousinjury or death.
Adaptive cruise control only warns ofvehicles detected by the radar sensor.In some cases there may be no warning
or a delayed warning. You should alwaysapply the brakes when necessary. Failing todo so may result in a crash, serious injury ordeath.
Note: The brakes may emit a sound whenmodulated by the adaptive cruise controlsystem.When a vehicle ahead of you enters the samelane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the samelane, the vehicle speed adjusts to maintaina preset gap distance. The distance settingis adjustable.The lead vehicle graphic will illuminate.
To help you pass a vehicle in front of you, theadaptive cruise control system may providea small temporary acceleration when youswitch on your left turn signal while followinga lead car.Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap fromthe vehicle ahead until:• the vehicle in front of you accelerates to
a speed above the set speed• the vehicle in front of you moves out of
your lane or out of view• the vehicle speed falls below 16 mph (26
km/h)• a new gap distance is set.The vehicle will apply the brakes to slow thevehicle to maintain a safe distance from thevehicle in front. The maximum braking whichthe system can apply is limited. You canoverride the system by applying the brakes.If the system predicts that its maximumbraking level will not be sufficient, an audiblewarning will sound while the systemcontinues to brake. This is accompanied bya heads-up display; a red warning barilluminating on the windshield. You shouldtake immediate action.

• Press the accelerator or brake pedal untilyou reach the desired speed. Press andrelease Set+ or Set-.
The system may apply the brakes to slow thevehicle to the new set speed. The set speeddisplays continuously in the informationdisplay when the system is active.Note: If you accelerate by pressing theaccelerator pedal, the set speed will notchange. When you release the acceleratorpedal, your vehicle returns to the speed thatyou previously set.
Resuming the Set SpeedNote: Only use resume if you are aware of theset speed and intend to return to it.Press and release RES. The vehicle will returnto the previously set speed. The set speedwill display continuously in the informationdisplay while the system is active.
Low Speed Automatic CancellationThe system is not functional at vehiclespeeds below 16 mph (26 km/h). An audiblealarm will sound and the automatic brakingreleases if the vehicle drops below this speed.
Hilly Condition UsageNote: An audible alarm will sound and thesystem will shut down if it is applying brakesfor an extended period of time. This allows thebrakes to cool down. The system will functionnormally again when the brakes have cooleddown.You should select a lower gear position whenthe system is active in situations such asprolonged downhill driving on steep grades,for example in mountainous areas. Thesystem needs additional engine braking inthese situations to reduce the load on thevehicle’s regular brake system to preventthem from overheating.

Detection IssuesWARNING
On rare occasions, detection issues canoccur due to the road infrastructures,for example bridges, tunnels and safety
barriers. In these cases, the system may brakelate or unexpectedly. At all times, you areresponsible for controlling your vehicle,supervising the system and intervening, ifrequired.
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision.It may not detect vehicles at all or detect avehicle later than expected in somesituations. The lead vehicle graphic will notilluminate if the system does not detect avehicle in front of you.
E71621
Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different linethan the vehicle in front.
A
With vehicles that edge into yourlane. The system can only detectthese vehicles once they move fullyinto your lane.
B
There may be issues with thedetection of vehicles in front whendriving into and coming out of abend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases the system may brake late orunexpectedly. The driver should stay alertand intervene when necessary.If something hits the front end of your vehicleor damage occurs, the radar-sensing zonemay change. This could cause missed or falsevehicle detections. See an authorized dealerto have the radar checked for propercoverage and operation.

The system uses radar sensors that arelocated behind the bumper fascia on eachside of your vehicle. Any dirt, mud and snowin front of the sensors and/or driving in heavyrain can cause system degradation. Also,other types of obstructions in front of thesensor can cause system degradation. Thisis referred to as a ‘blocked’ condition.Note: Do not apply bumper stickers and/orrepair compound to these areas, this can causedegraded system performance.If the system detects a degradedperformance condition, a message warningof a blocked sensor will appear in theinformation display. Also the system alertindicators will remain ON and the system willno longer provide any vehicle warnings. Youcan clear the information display warning butthe alert indicators will remain illuminated.A "blocked" condition can be cleared in twoways:• After the blockage in front of the sensors
is removed or the rainfall/snowfall ratedecreases or stops, drive for a fewminutes in traffic to allow the sensors todetect passing vehicles.
• By cycling the ignition from ON to OFFand then back ON.
Note: When towing a trailer, the sensors maydetect the trailer thus causing a false alert. Itmay be desirable to turn the Blind SpotInformation System off if the false alertsbecome annoying.
System ErrorsIf the system senses a problem with the leftor right sensor, the telltale will illuminate anda message will appear in the informationdisplay. See Information Messages (page95).
Switching the System Off and OnYou can temporarily switch the Blind SpotInformation System off in the informationdisplay. See General Information (page89). When the Blind Spot InformationSystem switches off, you will not receivealerts and the information display shows asystem off message. The telltale in thecluster also illuminates. When you switch theBlind Spot Information System on or off, thealert indicators flash twice.Note: The system switches back on every timeyou start your vehicle.

The Cross Traffic Alert illuminates an amberalert indicator in the outside mirror on theside of your vehicle the approaching vehicleis coming from. Cross Traffic Alert alsosounds an audible alert and a messageappears in the information display indicatinga vehicle is coming from the right or left.Cross Traffic Alert works with the reversesensing system that sounds its own series oftones. See Rear Parking Aid (page 156). E205199
The system uses radar sensors that arelocated behind the bumper fascia on eachside of your vehicle. Do not allow mud, snowor bumper stickers to obstruct these areas,this can cause degraded systemperformance. See Blind Spot InformationSystem (page 179). If the Blind SpotInformation System is blocked, Cross TrafficAlert is also blocked. A correspondingmessage appears in the information displayas soon as you shift the transmission intoreverse (R).
System LimitationsCross Traffic Alert has its limitations;situations such as severe weather conditionsor debris build-up on the sensor area maylimit vehicle detection.The following are other situations that maylimit the Cross Traffic Alert performance:• Stationary or slow moving vehicles.• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.• Oncoming vehicles in the same lame.• Severe weather conditions.• Debris build-up near or around the
sensor(s).• Small distance to the vehicle ahead.

Certain conditions may reduce the visibilityof the warning lamp; therefore, it isrecommended to keep the audible warningon.If the front end of the vehicle is hit ordamaged, the radar sensing zone may bealtered causing missed or false collisionwarnings. See your authorized dealer to haveyour collision warning radar checked forproper coverage and operation.
False AlertsNote: When towing a trailer, the sensors maydetect the trailer thus causing a false alert. Itmay be desirable to turn the Blind SpotInformation System off if the false alertsbecome annoying.There may be certain instances when thereis a false alert by the Cross Traffic Alertsystem that illuminates the alert indicatorwith no vehicle in the coverage zone. Someamount of false alerts are normal; they aretemporary and self-correct.
System ErrorsIf Cross Traffic Alert senses a problem withthe left or right sensor a message will appearin the information display. See GeneralInformation (page 89).
Switching the System Off and OnYou can temporarily switch Cross TrafficAlert off in the information display. SeeGeneral Information (page 89). When youswitch Cross Traffic Alert off, you will notreceive alerts and the information display willdisplay a system off message.Note: The Cross Traffic Alert switches onwhenever the ignition is switched on and readyto provide appropriate alerts when thetransmission is in reverse (R). Cross TrafficAlert will not remember the last selected onor off setting.You can also have Cross Traffic Alertswitched off permanently at an authorizeddealer. Once switched off permanently, thesystem can only be switched back on at anauthorized dealer.

If your vehicle loses electrical power whileyou are driving, electric power steeringassistance is lost. The steering system stilloperates and you can steer your vehiclemanually. Manually steering your vehiclerequires more effort.Extreme continuous steering may increasethe effort required for you to steer yourvehicle. This increased effort preventsoverheating and permanent damage to thesteering system. You do not lose the abilityto steer your vehicle manually. Typicalsteering and driving maneuvers allow thesystem to cool and return to normaloperation.
Steering TipsIf the steering wanders or pulls, check for:• Correct tire pressures.• Uneven tire wear.• Loose or worn suspension components.• Loose or worn steering components.• Improper vehicle alignment.Note: A high crown in the road or highcrosswinds may also make the steering seemto wander or pull.

COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM(If Equipped)
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATIONWARNINGS
This system is designed to be asupplementary driving aid. It is notintended to replace the driver’s
attention, and judgment, or the need to applythe brakes. This system does NOT activatethe brakes automatically. Failure to press thebrake pedal to activate the brakes may resultin a collision.
WARNINGSThe collision warning system withbrake support cannot help prevent allcollisions. Do not rely on this system to
replace driver judgment and the need tomaintain distance and speed.
Note: The system does not detect, warn orrespond to potential collisions with vehiclesto the rear or sides of the vehicle.Note: The collision warning system is activeat speeds above approximately 5 mph(8 km/h).
E156130

If it is, a red warning light illuminates and anaudible warning chime sounds.The brake support system assists the driverin reducing the collision speed by chargingthe brakes. If the risk of collision furtherincreases after the warning light illuminates,the brake support prepares the brake systemfor rapid braking. This may be apparent tothe driver. The system does not automaticallyactivate the brakes but, if the brake pedal ispressed, full force braking is applied even ifthe brake pedal is lightly pressed.
Using the Collision Warning System
WARNINGThe collision warning system’s brakesupport can only help reduce the speedat which a collision occurs if the driver
applies the vehicle’s brakes. The brake pedalmust be pressed just like any typical brakingsituation.
The warning system sensitivity can beadjusted to one of three possible settings byusing the information display control. SeeGeneral Information (page 89).Note: If collision warnings are perceived asbeing too frequent or disturbing then thewarning sensitivity can be reduced, though themanufacturer recommends using the highestsensitivity setting where possible. Settinglower sensitivity would lead to fewer and latersystem warnings. See General Information(page 89).
Blocked Sensors

WARNINGSDo not exceed the GVWR or theGAWR specified on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label.Do not use replacement tireswith lower load carrying
capacities than the original tiresbecause they may lower thevehicle’s GVWR and GAWRlimitations. Replacement tires witha higher limit than the original tiresdo not increase the GVWR andGAWR limitations.
WARNINGSExceeding any vehicle weightrating limitation could result in
serious damage to the vehicleand/or personal injury.
Steps for determining the correctload limit:1. Locate the statement "The
combined weight of occupantsand cargo should never exceedXXX kg or XXX lb." on yourvehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weightof the driver and passengers thatwill be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers fromXXX kg or XXX lb.

4. The resulting figure equals theavailable amount of cargo andluggage load capacity. Forexample, if the “XXX” amountequals 1,400 lb. and there will befive 150 lb. passengers in yourvehicle, the amount of availablecargo and luggage load capacityis 650 lb. (1400-750 (5 x 150) =650 lb.)
5. Determine the combined weightof luggage and cargo beingloaded on the vehicle. Thatweight may not safely exceed theavailable cargo and luggage loadcapacity calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing atrailer, load from your trailer willbe transferred to your vehicle.Consult this manual to determinehow this reduces the availablecargo and luggage load capacityof your vehicle.
The following gives you a fewexamples on how to calculate theavailable amount of cargo andluggage load capacity:*Suppose your vehicle has a1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargoand luggage capacity. You decideto go golfing. Is there enough loadcapacity to carry you, four of yourfriends and all the golf bags? Youand four friends average 220pounds (99 kilograms) each andthe golf bags weigh approximately30 pounds (13.5 kilograms) each.The calculation would be: 1400 - (5x 220) - (5 x 30) = 1400 - 1100 - 150= 150 pounds. Yes, you have enoughload capacity in your vehicle totransport four friends and your golfbags. In metric units, the calculationwould be: 635 kilograms - (5 x 99kilograms) - (5 x 13.5 kilograms) =635 - 495 - 67.5 = 72.5 kilograms.
*Suppose your vehicle has a1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargoand luggage capacity. You and oneof your friends decide to pick upcement from the local homeimprovement store to finish thatpatio you have been planning for thepast two years. Measuring the insideof the vehicle with the rear seatfolded down, you have room fortwelve 100-pound (45-kilogram)bags of cement. Do you haveenough load capacity to transportthe cement to your home? If youand your friend each weigh 220pounds (99 kilograms), thecalculation would be: 1400 - (2 x220) - (12 x 100) = 1400 - 440 -1200 = - 240 pounds. No, you do nothave enough cargo capacity to carrythat much weight. In metric units,the calculation would be: 635kilograms - (2 x 99 kilograms) - (12x 45 kilograms) = 635 - 198 - 540 =-103 kilograms. You will need toreduce the load weight by at least240 pounds (104 kilograms). If youremove three 100-pound

TOWING A TRAILER
WARNINGSDo not exceed the GVWR or theGAWR specified on the
certification label.Towing trailers beyond themaximum recommended gross
trailer weight exceeds the limit ofyour vehicle and could result inengine damage, transmissiondamage, structural damage, loss ofvehicle control, vehicle rollover andpersonal injury.
Note: There may be electrical itemssuch as fuses or relays that can affecttrailer towing operation. See Fuses(page 223).The load capacity of your vehicle isdesignated by weight not volume.You may not necessarily be able touse all available space when loadingyour vehicle or trailer.
Towing a trailer places extra loadon the engine, transmission, axle,brakes, tires, and suspension.Inspect these components before,during and after towing.Load PlacementTo help minimize how trailermovement affects the vehicle whendriving:• Load the heaviest items closest
to the trailer floor.• Load the heaviest items in the
center of the left and right sidetrailer tires.
• Load the heaviest items abovethe trailer axles or just slightlyforward toward the trailertongue. Do not allow the finaltrailer tongue weight to go aboveor below 10-15% of the loadedtrailer weight.
• Select a ball mount with thecorrect rise or drop. When boththe loaded vehicle and trailer areconnected, the trailer frameshould be level, or slightly angleddown toward the vehicle, whenviewed from the side.
When driving with a trailer orpayload, a slight takeoff vibration orshudder may be present due to theincreased payload weight.Additional information regardingproper trailer loading and settingyour vehicle up for towing is locatedin the Load Carrying chapter. SeeLoad Limit (page 192).

ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKSFollow these guidelines for safe towing:• Do not tow a trailer until you drive your
vehicle at least 1000 miles (1600kilometers).
• Consult your local motor vehicle laws fortowing a trailer.
• See the instructions included with towingaccessories for the proper installationand adjustment specifications.
• Service your vehicle more frequently ifyou tow a trailer. See your scheduledmaintenance information.
• If you use a rental trailer, follow theinstructions the rental agency gives you.
You can find information on loadspecification terms found on the tire labeland Safety Compliance label as well asinstructions on calculating your vehicle's loadin the Load Carrying chapter. See Load Limit(page 192).Remember to account for the trailer tongueweight as part of your vehicle load whencalculating the total vehicle weight.
HitchesDo not use a hitch that either clamps ontothe bumper or attaches to the axle.Distribute the trailer load so 10-15% of thetotal trailer weight is on the tongue.
Safety ChainsNote: Never attach safety chains to thebumper.Always connect the safety chains to the hookretainers of your vehicle hitch.To connect the safety chains, cross themunder the trailer tongue and allow enoughslack for turning tight corners. Do not allowthe chains to drag on the ground.
Trailer BrakesWARNING
Do not connect a trailer's hydraulicbrake system directly to your vehicle'sbrake system. Your vehicle may not
have enough braking power and your chancesof having a collision greatly increase.
Electric brakes and manual, automatic orsurge-type trailer brakes are safe if you installthem properly and adjust them to themanufacturer's specifications. The trailerbrakes must meet local and federalregulations.The rating for the tow vehicle's brakingsystem operation is at the gross vehicleweight rating, not the gross combinedweight rating.
Trailer LampsWARNING
Never connect any trailer lamp wiringto the vehicle's tail lamp wiring; thismay damage the electrical system
resulting in fire. Contact your authorizeddealer as soon as possible for assistance inproper trailer tow wiring installation.Additional electrical equipment may berequired.
Trailer lamps are required on most towedvehicles. Make sure all running lights, brakelights, turn signals and hazard lights areworking.

Before Towing a TrailerPractice turning, stopping and backing up toget the feel of your vehicle-trailercombination before starting on a trip. Whenturning, make wider turns so the trailerwheels clear curbs and other obstacles.
When Towing a Trailer• Do not drive faster than 70 mph (113
km/h) during the first 500 miles (800kilometers).
• Do not make full-throttle starts.• Check your hitch, electrical connections
and trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughly afteryou have traveled 50 miles (80kilometers).
• When stopped in congested or heavytraffic during hot weather, place thegearshift in position P to aid engine andtransmission cooling and to help A/Cperformance.
• Turn off the speed control with heavyloads or in hilly terrain. The speed controlmay turn off automatically when you aretowing on long, steep grades.
• Shift to a lower gear when driving downa long or steep hill. Do not apply thebrakes continuously, as they mayoverheat and become less effective.
• If your transmission is equipped with aGrade Assist or Tow/Haul feature, usethis feature when towing. This providesengine braking and helps eliminateexcessive transmission shifting foroptimum fuel economy and transmissioncooling.
• Allow more distance for stopping with atrailer attached. Anticipate stops andbrake gradually.
• Avoid parking on a grade. However, if youmust park on a grade:
1. Turn the steering wheel to point yourvehicle tires away from traffic flow.
2. Set your vehicle parking brake.3. Place the automatic transmission in
position P.4. Place wheel chocks in front and back of
the trailer wheels. (Chocks not includedwith vehicle.)
Launching or Retrieving a Boat orPersonal Watercraft (PWC)Note: Disconnect the wiring to the trailerbefore backing the trailer into the water.Note: Reconnect the wiring to the trailer afterremoving the trailer from the water.
When backing down a ramp during boatlaunching or retrieval:• Do not allow the static water level to rise
above the bottom edge of the rearbumper.
• Do not allow waves to break higher than6 inches (15 centimeters) above thebottom edge of the rear bumper.
Exceeding these limits may allow water toenter vehicle components:• Causing internal damage to the
components.• Affecting driveability, emissions, and
reliability.Any time the rear axle submerges in water,replace the rear axle lubricant. Water maycontaminate the rear axle lubricant, which isnot a normal maintenance inspection itemunless there is a possibility of a leak or otheraxle repair is required.

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
E143886
If you need to have your vehicle towed,contact a professional towing service or, ifyou are a member of a roadside assistanceprogram, your roadside assistance serviceprovider.We recommend the use of a wheel lift anddollies or flatbed equipment to tow yourvehicle. Do not tow with a slingbelt. FordMotor Company has not approved a slingbelttowing procedure. Vehicle damage may occurif towed incorrectly, or by any other means.Ford Motor Company produces a towingmanual for all authorized tow truck operators.Have your tow truck operator refer to thismanual for proper hook-up and towingprocedures for your vehicle.It is acceptable to have your front-wheel drivevehicle towed from the front if using properwheel lift equipment to raise the front wheelsoff the ground. When towing in this manner,the rear wheels can remain on the ground.Front-wheel drive vehicles must have thefront wheels placed on a tow dolly whentowing your vehicle from the rear using wheellift equipment. This prevents damage to thetransmission.
Towing an all-wheel drive vehicle requiresthat all wheels be off the ground, such asusing a wheel lift and dollies or flatbedequipment. This prevents damage to thetransmission, all-wheel drive system andvehicle.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOURWHEELSEmergency TowingYou can flat-tow (all wheels on the ground,regardless of the powertrain/transmissionconfiguration) your disabled vehicle (withoutaccess to wheel dollies, car-hauling trailer,or flatbed transport vehicle) under thefollowing conditions:• Your vehicle is facing forward so you tow
it in a forward direction.• You place the transmission in neutral (N).
If you cannot place the transmission inneutral (N), you may need to override it.See Transmission (page 140).
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).• Maximum distance is 50 miles (80
kilometers).

BREAKING-INYou need to break in new tires forapproximately 300 miles (480 kilometers).During this time, your vehicle may exhibitsome unusual driving characteristics.Avoid driving too fast during the first 1000miles (1600 kilometers). Vary your speedfrequently and change up through the gearsearly. Do not labor the engine.Do not tow during the first 1000 miles (1600kilometers).
ECONOMICAL DRIVINGFuel economy is affected by several thingssuch as how you drive, the conditions youdrive under and how you maintain yourvehicle.There are some things to keep in mind thatmay improve your fuel economy:• Accelerate and slow down in a smooth,
moderate fashion.• Drive at steady speeds.• Anticipate stops; slowing down may
eliminate the need to stop.
• Combine errands and minimizestop-and-go driving (When runningerrands, go to the furthest destinationfirst and then work your way back home).
• Close the windows for high-speed driving.• Drive at reasonable speeds.• Keep the tires properly inflated and use
only the recommended size.• Use the recommended engine oil.• Perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.There are also some things you may want toavoid doing because they reduce your fueleconomy:• Avoid sudden or hard accelerations.• Avoid revving the engine before turning
off the car.• Avoid long idle periods.• Do not warm up your vehicle on cold
mornings.• Reduce the use of air conditioning and
heat.• Avoid using speed control in hilly terrain.• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.• Avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
• Avoid adding particular accessories toyour vehicle (e.g. bug deflectors,rollbars/light bars, running boards, skiracks).
• Avoid driving with the wheels out ofalignment.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
WARNINGSDo not add engine coolant when theengine is hot. Steam and scaldingliquids released from a hot cooling
system can burn you badly. Also, spillingcoolant on hot engine parts can burn you.
Do not put engine coolant in thewindshield washer fluid container. Ifsprayed on the windshield, engine
coolant could make it difficult to see throughthe windshield.
To reduce the risk of personal injury,make sure the engine is cool beforeunscrewing the coolant pressure relief
cap. The cooling system is under pressure.Steam and hot liquid can come out forcefullywhen you loosen the cap slightly.
Do not add coolant further than theMAX mark.
Checking the Engine CoolantWhen the engine is cold, check theconcentration and level of the engine coolantat the intervals listed in the scheduledmaintenance information. See ScheduledMaintenance (page 321).
Note: Make sure that the coolant level isbetween the MIN and MAX marks on thecoolant reservoir.Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. Thelevel may extend beyond the MAX mark.Note: If the level is at the MIN mark, belowthe MIN mark, or empty, add coolantimmediately.Maintain coolant concentration within 48%to 50%, which equates to a freeze pointbetween -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F (-37°C).Note: For best results, coolant concentrationshould be tested with a refractometer such asRobinair® Coolant and Battery Refractometer75240. We do not recommend the use ofhydrometers or coolant test strips formeasuring coolant concentrations.Note: Automotive fluids are notinterchangeable. Do not use engine coolant,antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outsideof its specified function and vehicle location.
Adding Engine CoolantNote: Do not use stop leak pellets, coolingsystem sealants or additives as they can causedamage to the engine cooling or heatingsystems. Your warranty may not cover thesedamages.
Note: During normal vehicle operation, thecoolant may change color from orange to pinkor light red. As long as the coolant is clear anduncontaminated, this color change does notindicate the coolant has degraded nor does itrequire the coolant to be drained, the systemto be flushed, or the coolant to be replaced.Do not mix different colors or types of coolantin your vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants mayharm your engine’s cooling system. Useprediluted engine coolant meeting the correctspecification. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 296). The use of anincorrect coolant may harm the engine orcooling system components and may not becovered by the vehicle Warranty.In case of emergency, you can add a largeamount of water without engine coolant inorder to reach a vehicle service location. Inthis instance, qualified personnel:1. Must drain the cooling system.2. Chemically clean the cooling system with
Motorcraft Premium Cooling SystemFlush.
3. Refill with engine coolant as soon aspossible.
Water alone, without engine coolant, cancause engine damage from corrosion,overheating or freezing.

Do not use the following as a coolantsubstitute:• Alcohol.• Methanol.• Brine.• Any engine coolant mixed with alcohol
or methanol antifreeze or coolant.Alcohol and other liquids can cause enginedamage from overheating or freezing.Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to thecoolant. These can be harmful andcompromise the corrosion protection of theengine coolant.When adding coolant:1. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure will
escape as you unscrew the cap.2. Add prediluted engine coolant meeting
the correct specification. See Capacitiesand Specifications (page 296).
3. Check the coolant level in the coolantreservoir the next few times you drive yourvehicle.
4. If necessary, add enough predilutedengine coolant to bring the coolant levelto the proper level.
Recycled Engine CoolantWe do not recommend the use of recycledengine coolant as an approved recyclingprocess is not yet available.Used engine coolant should be disposed ofin an appropriate manner. Follow yourcommunity’s regulations and standards forrecycling and disposing of automotive fluids.
Severe ClimatesIf you drive in extremely cold climates:• It may be necessary to have an authorized
dealer increase the coolant concentrationabove 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60% providesimproved freeze point protection. Enginecoolant concentrations above 60%decrease the overheat protectioncharacteristics of the engine coolant andmay cause engine damage.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:• It may be necessary to have an authorized
dealer decrease the coolantconcentration to 40%.
• A coolant concentration of 40% providesimproved overheat protection. Enginecoolant concentrations below 40%decrease the freeze and corrosionprotection characteristics of the enginecoolant and may cause engine damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extremeclimates should use prediluted enginecoolant for optimum cooling system andengine protection.
What You Should Know About Fail-Safe CoolingIf you deplete the engine coolant supply,fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarilydrive your vehicle before you incurincremental component damage. Thefail-safe distance depends on ambienttemperatures, vehicle load and terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling WorksIf the engine begins to overheat, the enginecoolant temperature gauge will move to thered (hot) area and:

the coolant temperature warninglight will illuminate
the service engine soon indicatorwill illuminate.If the engine reaches a preset
over-temperature condition, the engineautomatically switches to alternating cylinderoperation. Each disabled cylinder acts as anair pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs, your vehicle will stilloperate. However:• The engine power will be limited.• This will disable the air conditioning
system.Continued operation increases the enginetemperature, causing the engine tocompletely shut down. Your steering andbraking effort increases in this situation.When the engine temperature cools, you canre-start your engine. Take your vehicle to anauthorized dealer as soon as possible tominimize engine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated
WARNINGSFail-safe mode is for use duringemergencies only. Operate your vehiclein fail-safe mode only as long as
necessary to bring your vehicle to rest in asafe location and seek immediate repairs.When in fail-safe mode, your vehicle will havelimited power, will not be able to maintainhigh-speed operation, and may completelyshut down without warning, potentially losingengine power, power steering assist, andpower brake assist, which may increase thepossibility of a crash resulting in serious injury.
Never remove the coolant reservoir capwhile the engine is running or hot.
You have limited engine power when in thefail-safe mode, so drive your vehicle withcaution. Your vehicle will not maintainhigh-speed operation and the engine willoperate poorly.Remember that the engine is capable ofautomatically shutting down to preventengine damage. In this situation:1. Pull off the road as soon as safely
possible and switch off the engine.2. Tow your vehicle to an authorized dealer.
3. If this is not possible, wait a short periodfor the engine to cool.
4. Check the coolant level and add if low.5. Re-start the engine and drive your vehicle
to an authorized dealer.Note: Driving your vehicle without repairincreases the chance of engine damage.Contact an authorized dealer as soon aspossible.
Engine Fluid Temperature Management(If Equipped)
WARNINGSTo reduce the risk of crash and injury,be prepared that the vehicle speed mayreduce and the vehicle may not be able
to accelerate with full power until the fluidtemperatures reduce.
Never remove the coolant reservoir capwhile the engine is running or hot.
Your vehicle can pull a trailer, but becauseof the added load, your vehicle’s engine maytemporarily reach higher temperatures duringsevere operating conditions such asascending a long or steep grade while pullinga trailer in high temperatures.

Because your vehicle’s engine is electronicallycontrolled by a computer, some controlconditions are maintained by power from thebattery. When the battery is disconnected ora new battery is installed, the engine mustrelearn its idle and fuel trim strategy foroptimum driveability and performance.Flexible fuel vehicles (FFV) must also relearnthe ethanol content of the fuel for optimumdriveability and performance.To restore the settings, do the following:1. Apply the parking brake.2. Shift into park (P) or neutral (N).3. Switch off all accessories.4. Press the brake pedal and start your
vehicle.5. Run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature. While the engineis warming up, complete the following:Reset the clock. See Audio System(page 313). Reset the power windowsbounce-back feature. See Windows andMirrors (page 78). Reset the radiostation presets. See Audio System(page 313).
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least oneminute.
7. Drive the vehicle at least 10 mi (16 km) tocompletely relearn the idle trim and fueltrim strategy.
Note: If you do not allow the engine to relearnthe idle and fuel trim strategy, the idle qualityof your vehicle may be adversely affected untilthe engine computer eventually relearns theidle trim and fuel trim strategy.Note: For flexible fuel vehicles, if you areoperating on E85, you may experience poorstarts or an inability to start the engine anddriveability problems until the fuel trim andethanol content have been relearned.Make sure that you dispose of old batteriesin an environmentally friendly way. Seekadvice from your local authority aboutrecycling old batteries.If storing your vehicle for more than 30 dayswithout recharging the battery, werecommend that you disconnect the batterycables to maintain battery charge for quickstarting.

Information About Uniform TireQuality Grading
E142542
Tire Quality Grades apply to newpneumatic passenger car tires. TheQuality grades can be found whereapplicable on the tire sidewallbetween tread shoulder andmaximum section width. Forexample: Treadwear 200 TractionAA Temperature A.
These Tire Quality Grades aredetermined by standards that theUnited States Department ofTransportation has set.Tire Quality Grades apply to newpneumatic passenger car tires. Theydo not apply to deep tread,winter-type snow tires, space-saveror temporary use spare tires, lighttruck or LT type tires, tires withnominal rim diameters of 10 to 12inches or limited production tires asdefined in Title 49 Code of FederalRegulations Part 575.104 (c)(2).U.S. Department ofTransportation Tire qualitygrades: The U.S. Department ofTransportation requires Ford MotorCompany to give you the followinginformation about tire gradesexactly as the government haswritten it.
TreadwearThe treadwear grade is acomparative rating based on thewear rate of the tire when testedunder controlled conditions on aspecified government test course.For example, a tire graded 150would wear 1 ½ times as well on thegovernment course as a tire graded100. The relative performance oftires depends upon the actualconditions of their use, however, andmay depart significantly from thenorm due to variations in drivinghabits, service practices, anddifferences in road characteristicsand climate.

Traction AA A B C
WARNINGThe traction grade assigned tothis tire is based on
straight-ahead braking tractiontests, and does not includeacceleration, cornering,hydroplaning or peak tractioncharacteristics.
The traction grades, from highest tolowest are AA, A, B, and C. Thegrades represent the tire’s ability tostop on wet pavement as measuredunder controlled conditions onspecified government test surfacesof asphalt and concrete. A tiremarked C may have poor tractionperformance.
Temperature A B C
WARNINGThe temperature grade for thistire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and notoverloaded. Excessive speed,underinflation, or excessive loading,either separately or in combination,can cause heat buildup and possibletire failure.
The temperature grades are A (thehighest), B and C, representing thetire’s resistance to the generation ofheat and its ability to dissipate heatwhen tested under controlledconditions on a specified indoorlaboratory test wheel. Sustainedhigh temperature can cause thematerial of the tire to degenerateand reduce tire life, and excessivetemperature can lead to sudden tirefailure. The grade C corresponds toa level of performance which allpassenger car tires must meet under
the Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard No. 139. Grades B and Arepresent higher levels ofperformance on the laboratory testwheel than the minimum requiredby law.Glossary of Tire Terminology• Tire label: A label showing the
original equipment tire sizes,recommended inflation pressureand the maximum weight thevehicle can carry.
• Tire Identification Number: Anumber on the sidewall of eachtire providing information aboutthe tire brand and manufacturingplant, tire size and date ofmanufacture. Also referred to asDOT code.
• Inflation pressure: A measureof the amount of air in a tire.

For example: ForP-metric tires 35 psi (2.4 bar) or36 (2.5 bar) depending on tiresize and for Metric tires 36 psi(2.5 bar). Increasing the inflationpressure beyond this pressurewill not increase the tire’s loadcarrying capability.
• Extra load: A class of P-metricor Metric tires designed to carrya heavier maximum load at 42psi (2.9 bar). Increasing theinflation pressure beyond thispressure will not increase thetire’s load carrying capability.
• kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit ofair pressure.
• PSI: Pounds per square inch, astandard unit of air pressure.
• Cold tire pressure: The tirepressure when the vehicle hasbeen stationary and out of directsunlight for an hour or more andprior to the vehicle being drivenfor 1 mile (1.6 km).
• Recommended inflationpressure: The cold inflationpressure found on the SafetyCompliance Certification Label(affixed to either the door hingepillar, door-latch post, or the dooredge that meets the door-latchpost, next to the driver's seatingposition), or Tire Label locatedon the B-Pillar or the edge of thedriver’s door.

Location of the Tire LabelYou will find a Tire Label containingtire inflation pressure by tire size andother important information locatedon the B-Pillar or the edge of thedriver’s door.Inflating Your TiresSafe operation of your vehiclerequires that your tires are properlyinflated. Remember that a tire canlose up to half of its air pressurewithout appearing flat.Every day before you drive, checkyour tires. If one looks lower thanthe others, use a tire gauge to checkpressure of all tires and adjust ifrequired.At least once a month and beforelong trips, inspect each tire andcheck the tire pressure with a tiregauge (including spare, if equipped).Inflate all tires to the inflationpressure recommended by FordMotor Company.
You are strongly urged to buy areliable tire pressure gauge, asautomatic service station gaugesmay be inaccurate. Fordrecommends the use of a digital ordial-type tire pressure gauge ratherthan a stick-type tire pressuregauge.Use the recommended cold inflationpressure for optimum tireperformance and wear.Under-inflation or over-inflationmay cause uneven treadwearpatterns

WARNINGUnder-inflation is the mostcommon cause of tire failures
and may result in severe tirecracking, tread separation orblowout, with unexpected loss ofvehicle control and increased risk ofinjury. Under-inflation increasessidewall flexing and rollingresistance, resulting in heat buildupand internal damage to the tire. Italso may result in unnecessary tirestress, irregular wear, loss of vehiclecontrol and accidents. A tire canlose up to half of its air pressure andnot appear to be flat!
Always inflate your tires to the Fordrecommended inflation pressureeven if it is less than the maximuminflation pressure information foundon the tire. The Ford recommendedtire inflation pressure is found on theSafety Compliance CertificationLabel (affixed to either the doorhinge pillar, door-latch post, or thedoor edge that meets the door-latch
post, next to the driver's seatingposition), or Tire Label which islocated on the B-Pillar or the edgeof the driver’s door. Failure to followthe tire pressure recommendationscan cause uneven treadwearpatterns and adversely affect theway your vehicle handlesMaximum Inflation Pressure isthe tire manufacturer's maximumpermissible pressure and thepressure at which the maximumload can be carried by the tire. Thispressure is normally higher than themanufacturer’s recommended coldinflation pressure which can befound on the Safety ComplianceCertification Label (affixed to eitherthe door hinge pillar, door-latchpost, or the door edge that meetsthe door-latch post, next to thedriver's seating position), or TireLabel which is located on the
B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’sdoor. The cold inflation pressureshould never be set lower than therecommended pressure on theSafety Compliance CertificationLabel or Tire Label.When weather temperaturechanges occur, tire inflationpressures also change. A 10°F (6°C)temperature drop can cause acorresponding drop of 1 psi (7 kPa)in inflation pressure. Check your tirepressures frequently and adjustthem to the proper pressure whichcan be found on the SafetyCompliance Certification Label orTire Label.To check the pressure in your tire(s):1. Make sure the tires are cool,
meaning they are not hot fromdriving even a mile.

Note: If you are checking tirepressure when the tire is hot, (forexample driven more than 1 mile [1.6kilometers]), never bleed or reduceair pressure. The tires are hot fromdriving and it is normal for pressuresto increase above recommendedcold pressures. A hot tire at or belowrecommended cold inflation pressurecould be significantly under-inflated.Note: If you have to drive a distanceto get air for your tire(s), check andrecord the tire pressure first and addthe appropriate air pressure when youget to the pump. It is normal for tiresto heat up and the air pressure insideto go up as you drive.2. Remove the cap from the valve
on one tire, then firmly press thetire gauge onto the valve andmeasure the pressure.
3. Add enough air to reach therecommended air pressure.
Note: If you overfill the tire, releaseair by pressing on the metal stem inthe center of the valve. Then recheckthe pressure with your tire gauge.4. Replace the valve cap.5. Repeat this procedure for each
tire, including the spare.Note: Some spare tires operate at ahigher inflation pressure than theother tires. For T type mini-sparetires, see the Dissimilar spare wheeland tire assembly information for adescription. Store and maintain at 60psi (4.15 bar). For full-size anddissimilar spare tires, see theDissimilar spare wheel and tireassembly information for adescription. Store and maintain atthe higher of the front and rearinflation pressure as shown on theTire Label.6. Visually inspect the tires to make
sure there are no nails or otherobjects embedded that couldpoke a hole in the tire and causean air leak.
7. Check the sidewalls to make surethere are no gouges, cuts orbulges.
Inspecting Your Tires and WheelValve StemsPeriodically inspect the tire treadsfor uneven or excessive wear andremove objects such as stones, nailsor glass that may be wedged in thetread grooves. Check the tire andvalve stems for holes, cracks, or cutsthat may permit air leakage andrepair or replace the tire and replacethe valve stem. Inspect the tiresidewalls for cracking, cuts, bruisesand other signs of damage orexcessive wear. If internal damageto the tire is suspected, have the tiredemounted and inspected in caseit needs to be repaired or replaced.For your safety, tires that aredamaged or show signs of excessivewear should not be used becausethey are more likely to blow out orfail.

Improper or inadequate vehiclemaintenance can cause tires towear abnormally. Inspect all yourtires, including the spare, frequently,and replace them if one or more ofthe following conditions exist:Tire Wear
E142546
When the tread is worn down to onesixteenth of an inch (2 millimeters),tires must be replaced to helpprevent your vehicle from skiddingand hydroplaning. Built-in treadwearindicators, or wear bars, which looklike narrow strips of smooth rubberacross the tread will appear on thetire when the tread is worn down toone sixteenth of an inch (2millimeters).When the tire tread wears down tothe same height as these wear bars,the tire is worn out and must bereplaced.
DamagePeriodically inspect the tire treadsand sidewalls for damage (such asbulges in the tread or sidewalls,cracks in the tread groove andseparation in the tread or sidewall).If damage is observed or suspectedhave the tire inspected by a tireprofessional. Tires can be damagedduring off-road use, so inspectionafter off-road use is alsorecommended.

Age
WARNINGTires degrade over timedepending on many factors
such as weather, storage conditions,and conditions of use (load, speed,inflation pressure) the tiresexperience throughout their lives.
In general, tires should be replacedafter six years regardless of treadwear. However, heat caused by hotclimates or frequent high loadingconditions can accelerate the agingprocess and may require tires to bereplaced more frequently.
You should replace your spare tirewhen you replace the road tires orafter six years due to aging even if ithas not been used.
U.S. DOT Tire IdentificationNumberBoth U.S. and Canada Federalregulations require tiremanufacturers to placestandardized information on thesidewall of all tires. This informationidentifies and describes thefundamental characteristics of thetire and also provides a U.S. DOTTire Identification Number for safetystandard certification and in case ofa recall.This begins with the letters DOT andindicates that the tire meets allfederal standards. The next twonumbers or letters are the plantcode designating where it wasmanufactured, the next two are thetire size code and the last fournumbers represent the week andyear the tire was built. For example,the numbers 317 mean the 31st weekof 1997. After 2000 the numbers goto four digits. For example, 2501
means the 25th week of 2001. Thenumbers in between areidentification codes used fortraceability. This information is usedto contact customers if a tire defectrequires a recall.Tire Replacement RequirementsYour vehicle is equipped with tiresdesigned to provide a safe ride andhandling capability.

The tire pressure sensors mountedin the wheels (originally installed onyour vehicle) are not designed to beused in aftermarket wheels.The use of wheels or tires notrecommended by Ford MotorCompany may affect the operationof your tire pressure monitoringsystem.If the tire pressure monitoringsystem indicator is flashing, yoursystem is malfunctioning. Yourreplacement tire might beincompatible with your tire pressuremonitoring system, or somecomponent of the system may bedamaged.Safety Practices
WARNINGSIf your vehicle is stuck in snow,mud or sand, do not rapidly
spin the tires; spinning the tires cantear the tire and cause an explosion.A tire can explode in as little as threeto five seconds.
WARNINGSDo not spin the wheels at over35 mph (56 km/h). The tires
may fail and injure a passenger orbystander.
Driving habits have a great deal todo with your tire mileage and safety.• Observe posted speed limits• Avoid fast starts, stops and turns• Avoid potholes and objects on
the road• Do not run over curbs or hit the
tire against a curb when parkingHighway HazardsNo matter how carefully you drivethere is always the possibility thatyou may eventually have a flat tireon the highway. Drive slowly to theclosest safe area out of traffic. Thismay further damage the flat tire, butyour safety is more important.
If you feel a sudden vibration or ridedisturbance while driving, or yoususpect your tire or vehicle has beendamaged, immediately reduce yourspeed. Drive with caution until youcan safely pull off the road. Stopand inspect the tires for damage. Ifa tire is under-inflated or damaged,deflate it, remove the wheel andreplace it with your spare tire andwheel (if provided). If you cannotdetect a cause, have the vehicletowed to the nearest repair facilityor tire dealer to have the vehicleinspected.Tire and Wheel AlignmentA bad jolt from hitting a curb orpothole can cause the front end ofyour vehicle to become misalignedor cause damage to your tires. Ifyour vehicle seems to pull to oneside when you’re driving, the wheelsmay be out of alignment. Have anauthorized dealer check the wheelalignment periodically.

Wheel misalignment in the front orthe rear can cause uneven and rapidtreadwear of your tires and shouldbe corrected by an authorizeddealer. Front-wheel drive vehiclesand those with an independent rearsuspension (if equipped) mayrequire alignment of all four wheels.The tires should also be balancedperiodically. An unbalanced tire andwheel assembly may result inirregular tire wear.Tire RotationNote: If your tires show uneven wearask an authorized dealer to check forand correct any wheel misalignment,tire imbalance or mechanicalproblem involved before tire rotation.
Note: Your vehicle may be equippedwith a dissimilar spare wheel and tireassembly. A dissimilar spare wheeland tire assembly is defined as aspare wheel and tire assembly thatis different in brand, size orappearance from the road tires andwheels. If you have a dissimilar sparewheel and tire assembly it is intendedfor temporary use only and shouldnot be used in a tire rotation.Note: After having your tires rotated,inflation pressure must be checkedand adjusted to the vehiclerequirements.Rotating your tires at therecommended interval (as indicatedin the Scheduled Maintenancechapter) will help your tires wearmore evenly, providing better tireperformance and longer tire life.Front-wheel drive and all-wheeldrive vehicles (front tires on the leftside of the diagram)

Sometimes irregular tire wear canbe corrected by rotating the tires.
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGSIf you choose to install snow tires onyour vehicle, they must be the samesize, construction, and load range as
the original tires listed on the tire placard, andthey must be installed on all four wheels.Mixing tires of different size or constructionon your vehicle can adversely affect yourvehicle's handling and braking, and may leadto loss of vehicle control.

Snow chains have not been approved for useon your vehicle.The original equipment tires on your vehiclemay have an all-weather tread design toprovide traction, handling, and brakingperformance in year-round driving. You mayinstall snow tires for improved traction whendriving in areas with sustained periods ofsnow or icy driving conditions.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORINGSYSTEM
WARNINGThe tire pressure monitoring system isnot a substitute for manually checkingtire pressure. The tire pressure should
be checked periodically (at least monthly)using a tire gauge, see Inflating your tires inthis chapter. Failure to properly maintain yourtire pressure could increase the risk of tirefailure, loss of control, vehicle rollover andpersonal injury.
Each tire, including the spare (ifprovided), should be checkedmonthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended by thevehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placardor tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehiclehas tires of a different size than the sizeindicated on the vehicle placard or tireinflation pressure label, you should determinethe proper tire inflation pressure for thosetires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle hasbeen equipped with a Tire PressureMonitoring System (TPMS) that illuminatesa low tire pressure telltale when one or moreof your tires is significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressuretelltale illuminates, you should stop andcheck your tires as soon as possible, andinflate them to the proper pressure. Drivingon a significantly under-inflated tire causesthe tire to overheat and can lead to tirefailure. Under-inflation also reduces fuelefficiency and tire tread life, and may affectthe vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitutefor proper tire maintenance, and it is thedriver’s responsibility to maintain correct tirepressure, even if under-inflation has notreached the level to trigger illumination ofthe TPMS low tire pressure telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped with aTPMS malfunction indicator to indicate whenthe system is not operating properly. TheTPMS malfunction indicator is combined withthe low tire pressure telltale. When thesystem detects a malfunction, the telltalewill flash for approximately one minute andthen remain continuously illuminated. Thissequence will continue upon subsequentvehicle start-ups as long as the malfunctionexists.When the malfunction indicator isilluminated, the system may not be able todetect or signal low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a varietyof reasons, including the installation ofreplacement or alternate tires or wheels onthe vehicle that prevent the TPMS fromfunctioning properly. Always check the TPMSmalfunction telltale after replacing one ormore tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensurethat the replacement or alternate tires andwheels allow the TPMS to continue tofunction properly.

Changing Tires With a Tire PressureMonitoring System
E142549
Note: Each road tire is equipped with a tirepressure sensor located inside the wheel andtire assembly cavity. The pressure sensor isattached to the valve stem. The pressuresensor is covered by the tire and is not visibleunless the tire is removed. Take care whenchanging the tire to avoid damaging the sensorYou should always have your tires servicedby an authorized dealer.Check the tire pressure periodically (at leastmonthly) using an accurate tire gauge. SeeInflating Your Tires in this chapter.
Understanding Your Tire PressureMonitoring SystemThe tire pressure monitoring systemmeasures pressure in your four road tires andsends the tire pressure readings to yourvehicle. The low tire pressure warning lightwill turn on if the tire pressure is significantlylow. Once the light is illuminated, your tiresare under-inflated and need to be inflated tothe manufacturer’s recommended tirepressure. Even if the light turns on and a shorttime later turns off, your tire pressure stillneeds to be checked.
When Your Temporary Spare Tire isInstalledWhen one of your road tires needs to bereplaced with the temporary spare, thesystem will continue to identify an issue toremind you that the damaged road wheeland tire assembly needs to be repaired andput back on your vehicle.To restore the full function of the tire pressuremonitoring system, have the damaged roadwheel and tire assembly repaired andremounted on your vehicle.
When You Believe Your System is NotOperating ProperlyThe main function of the tire pressuremonitoring system is to warn you when yourtires need air. It can also warn you in theevent the system is no longer capable offunctioning as intended. See the followingchart for information concerning your tirepressure monitoring system:

When Inflating Your TiresWhen putting air into your tires (such as at agas station or in your garage), the tirepressure monitoring system may not respondimmediately to the air added to your tires.It may take up to two minutes of driving over20 mph (32 km/h) for the light to turn offafter you have filled your tires to therecommended inflation pressure
How Temperature Affects Your TirePressureThe tire pressure monitoring system monitorstire pressure in each pneumatic tire. Whiledriving in a normal manner, a typicalpassenger tire inflation pressure may increaseabout 2 to 4 psi (14 to 28 kPa) from a coldstart situation. If the vehicle is stationaryovernight with the outside temperaturesignificantly lower than the daytimetemperature, the tire pressure may decreaseabout 3 psi (21 kPa) for a drop of 30°F (17°C)in ambient temperature. This lower pressurevalue may be detected by the tire pressuremonitoring system as being significantlylower than the recommended inflationpressure and activate the system warninglight for low tire pressure. If the low tirepressure warning light is on, visually checkeach tire to verify that no tire is flat. If one or
more tires are flat, repair as necessary. Checkthe air pressure in the road tires. If any tire isunder-inflated, carefully drive the vehicle tothe nearest location where air can be addedto the tires. Inflate all the tires to therecommended inflation pressure.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
WARNINGSThe use of tire sealant may damageyour tire pressure monitoring systemand should only be used in roadside
emergencies. If you must use a sealant, theFord Tire Mobility Kit sealant should be used.The tire pressure monitoring system sensorand valve stem on the wheel must bereplaced by an authorized dealer after use ofthe sealant.
If the tire pressure monitor sensorbecomes damaged, it will no longerfunction. See Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (page 286).
Note: The tire pressure monitoring systemindicator light will illuminate when the sparetire is in use. To restore the full function of themonitoring system, all road wheels equippedwith tire pressure monitoring sensors must bemounted on the vehicle.
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not applythe brake heavily. Instead, gradually decreaseyour speed. Hold the steering wheel firmlyand slowly move to a safe place on the sideof the road.Have a flat serviced by an authorized dealerin order to prevent damage to the tirepressure monitoring system sensors. SeeTire Pressure Monitoring System (page286). Replace the spare tire with a road tireas soon as possible. During repairing orreplacing of the flat tire, have the authorizeddealer inspect the tire pressure monitoringsystem sensor for damage.

If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and tire,then it is intended for temporary use only.This means that if you need to use it, youshould replace it as soon as possible with aroad wheel and tire assembly that is thesame size and type as the road tires andwheels that were originally provided by Ford.If the dissimilar spare tire or wheel isdamaged, it should be replaced rather thanrepaired.A dissimilar spare wheel and tire assemblyis defined as a spare wheel and tire assemblythat is different in brand, size or appearancefrom the road tires and wheels and can beone of three types:1. T-type mini-spare: This spare tire beginswith the letter T for tire size and may haveTemporary Use Only molded in the sidewall.2. Full-size dissimilar spare with label onwheel: This spare tire has a label on thewheel that states: THIS WHEEL AND TIREASSEMBLY FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY.When driving with one of the dissimilar sparetires listed above, do not:• Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)• Load the vehicle beyond maximum
vehicle load rating listed on the SafetyCompliance Label.
• Tow a trailer.
• Use snow chains on the end of the vehiclewith the dissimilar spare tire.
• Use more than one dissimilar spare tireat a time.
• Use commercial car washing equipment.• Try to repair the dissimilar spare tire.Use of one of the dissimilar spare tires listedabove at any one wheel location can lead toimpairment of the following:• Handling, stability and braking
performance.• Comfort and noise.• Ground clearance and parking at curbs.• Winter weather driving capability.• Wet weather driving capability.• All-wheel driving capability (if
applicable).3. Full-size dissimilar spare without labelon wheelWhen driving with the full-size dissimilarspare wheel and tire assembly, do not:• Exceed 70 mph (113 km/h).• Use more than one dissimilar spare wheel
and tire assembly at a time.
• Use commercial car washing equipment.• Use snow chains on the end of the vehicle
with the dissimilar spare wheel and tireassembly.
The usage of a full-size dissimilar sparewheel and tire assembly can lead toimpairment of the following:• Handling, stability and braking
performance.• Comfort and noise.• Ground clearance and parking at curbs.• Winter weather driving capability.• Wet weather driving capability.• All-wheel driving capability (if
applicable).• Load leveling adjustment (if applicable).When driving with the full-size dissimilarspare wheel and tire assembly additionalcaution should be given to:• Towing a trailer.• Driving vehicles equipped with a camper
body.• Driving vehicles with a load on the cargo
rack.Drive cautiously when using a full-sizedissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly andseek service as soon as possible.

Tire Change ProcedureWARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is off theground, the transmission alone will notprevent the vehicle from moving or
slipping off the jack, even if the transmissionis in park (P).
To help prevent the vehicle frommoving when you change a tire, be sureto place the transmission in park (P),
set the parking brake and block (in bothdirections) the wheel that is diagonallyopposite (other side and end of the vehicle)to the tire being changed.
Never get underneath a vehicle that issupported only by a jack. If the vehicleslips off the jack, you or someone else
could be seriously injured.Do not attempt to change a tire on theside of the vehicle close to movingtraffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when operatingthe jack or changing the wheel.
WARNINGSAlways use the jack provided as originalequipment with your vehicle. If using ajack other than the one provided as
original equipment with your vehicle, makesure the jack capacity is adequate for thevehicle weight, including any vehicle cargoor modifications.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parkingbrake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) andturn the engine off.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSWheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNINGWhen a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or thesurface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that attach the rotor to thehub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal
contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while your vehicle is in motion, resultingin loss of control.
Ib-ft (Nm)*Bolt size
100 (135)1/2 x 20*Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners.Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles (160 kilometers) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changinga flat tire, wheel removal).

GENERAL INFORMATIONRadio Frequencies and ReceptionFactors
AM and FM frequencies are established bythe Federal Communications Commission(FCC) and the Canadian Radio andTelecommunications Commission (CRTC).Those frequencies are:• AM: 530, 540-1700, 1710 kHz• FM: 87.9-107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio Reception Factors
The further you travel from an AM or FM station, the weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.Distance and strength
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage andthunderstorms can interfere with the reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one andresult in the audio system muting.
Station overload
CD and CD Player InformationNote: CD units play commercially pressed4.75-inch (12 centimeter) audio compact discsonly. Due to technical incompatibility, certainrecordable and re-recordable compact discsmay not function correctly when used in FordCD players.
Note: Do not insert CDs with homemadepaper (adhesive) labels into the CD player asthe label may peel and cause the CD tobecome jammed. You should use a permanentfelt tip marker rather than adhesive labels onyour homemade CDs. Ballpoint pens maydamage CDs. Please contact an authorizeddealer for further information.Note: Do not use any irregularly shaped discsor discs with a scratch protection filmattached.
Always handle discs by their edges only.Clean the disc with an approved CD cleaneronly. Wipe it from the center of the disctoward the edge. Do not clean in a circularmotion.Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heatsources for extended periods.

MP3 and WMA Track and FolderStructureAudio systems capable of recognizing andplaying MP3 and WMA individual tracks andfolder structures work as follows:• There are two different modes for MP3
and WMA disc playback: MP3 and WMAtrack mode (system default) and MP3and WMA folder mode.
• MP3 and WMA track mode ignores anyfolder structure on the MP3 and WMAdisc. The player numbers each MP3 andWMA track on the disc (noted by the MP3or WMA file extension) from T001 to amaximum of T255. The maximumnumber of playable MP3 and WMA filesmay be less depending on the structureof the CD and exact model of radiopresent.
• MP3 and WMA folder mode represents afolder structure consisting of one level offolders. The CD player numbers all MP3and WMA tracks on the disc (noted bythe MP3 or WMA file extension) and allfolders containing MP3 and WMA files,from F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253T255.
• Creating discs with only one level offolders helps with navigation through thedisc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 and WMAdiscs, it is important to understand how thesystem reads the structures you create. Whilevarious files may be present (files withextensions other than MP3 and WMA), onlyfiles with the MP3 and WMA extension areplayed; other files are ignored by the system.This enables you to use the same MP3 andWMA disc for a variety of tasks on your workcomputer, home computer and yourin-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays and playsthe structure as if it were only one level deep(all MP3 and WMA files play, regardless ofbeing in a specific folder). In folder mode, thesystem only plays the MP3 and WMA files inthe current folder.

When the oil change message appears in theinformation display, it is time for an oilchange. Make sure you perform the oil changewithin two weeks or 500 miles (800kilometers) of the message appearing. Makesure you reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitorafter each oil change. See (page 89).If your information display resets prematurelyor becomes inoperative, you should performthe oil change interval at six months or 5000miles (8000 kilometers) from your last oilchange. Never exceed one year or 10000miles (16000 kilometers) between oil changeintervals.Your vehicle is very sophisticated and builtwith multiple, complex, performancesystems. Every manufacturer develops thesesystems using different specifications andperformance features. That is why it isimportant to rely upon your dealership toproperly diagnose and repair your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company has recommendedmaintenance intervals for various parts andcomponent systems based upon engineeringtesting. Ford Motor Company relies upon thistesting to determine the most appropriatemileage for replacement of oils and fluids toprotect your vehicle at the lowest overall costto you and recommends againstmaintenance schedules that deviate fromthe scheduled maintenance information.We strongly recommend the use of onlygenuine Ford, Motorcraft or Ford-authorizedre-manufactured replacement partsengineered for your vehicle.
Additives and ChemicalsThis owner's manual and the Ford WorkshopManual list the recommended additives andchemicals for your vehicle. We do notrecommend using chemicals or additives notapproved by us as part of your vehicle’snormal maintenance. Please consult yourwarranty information.
Oils, Fluids and FlushingIn many cases, fluid discoloration is a normaloperating characteristic and, by itself, doesnot necessarily indicate a concern or that thefluid needs to be changed. However, aqualified expert, such as the factory-trainedtechnicians at your dealership, should inspectdiscolored fluids that also show signs ofoverheating or foreign materialcontamination immediately.Make sure to change your vehicle’s oils andfluids at the specified intervals or inconjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viableway to change fluid for many vehiclesub-systems during scheduled maintenance.It is critical that systems are flushed only withnew fluid that is the same as that required tofill and operate the system or using aFord-approved flushing chemical.
Owner Checks and ServicesMake sure you perform the following basicmaintenance checks and inspections everymonth or at six-month intervals.

This means you do not have to remember tochange the oil on a mileage-based schedule.Your vehicle lets you know when an oilchange is due by displaying a message in theinformation display.The following table provides examples ofvehicle use and its impact on oil changeintervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oilchange intervals depend on several factorsand generally decrease with severity of use.
