Limited GPS reception
System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is
interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles. The
following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted. If the
vehicle is:
²in multi-story parking garages
²in tunnels and under bridges
²inside or in between buildings
²by forests or tree-lined avenues
²in heavy rain showers and thunderstorms
²in valleys and in mountainous regions
²roads under cliffs
Ensure that you do not have any metal objects on the rear parcel shelf.
If your windows are tinted, ensure that you use non-metal tinting instead
of metal oxide tinting. Both of these factors can interrupt GPS reception.
Cleaning the display
Do not spray cleaning fluid directly onto the unit. Instead, spray onto a
soft cloth and gently wipe the unit. Only recommended products should
be used.
²Recommended products- Rubbing alcohol based cleaner (i.e., methyl
alcohol) or a damp clean cloth.
²Not harmful but not recommended- ammonia cleaner, neutral
detergent.
²Harmful to system and not recommended- acid cleaner, alkali cleaner,
benzene cleaner.
Do not clean any part of the system with benzene, paint thinner or any
other solvent.
Do not spill liquids of any kind onto the unit.

An auxiliary power point is located
on the lower rear side of the center
console. The power point is
accessible from the rear seats.
Another auxiliary power point is
located on the right rear quarter
panel. The power point is accessible
from the liftgate.
POWER WINDOWS
When closing the power windows, you should verify they are free
of obstructions and ensure that children and/or pets are not in
the proximity of the window openings.

Bounce-Back
When an obstacle has been detected in the window opening as the
window is moving upward, the window will automatically reverse
direction and move down. This is known as ªbounce-backº. If the ignition
is turned OFF (without accessory delay being active) during
bounce-back, the window will move down until the bounce back position
is reached.
Security Override
If during a bounce-back condition, the switch is released to the neutral
position, then held in the one touch up position within two seconds after
the window reaches the bounce-back position,the window will travel
up with no bounce-back protection.If the switch is released before
the window reaches fully closed or the ignition is turned OFF (without
accessory delay being active), the window will stop. Security override
can be used if there is ice on the window or seals, causing a restriction.
Window lock
The window lock feature allows only
the driver to operate the rear power
windows.
To lock out the rear window
controls push the control down. To
restore the rear window controls,
push the control down. The control
will spring back up to the neutral
position.
Accessory delay
With accessory delay, the radio, windows, and moonroof operate for up
to ten minutes after the ignition switch is turned from the ON to the
OFF position or until any door is opened.
MIRRORS
Automatic dimming rear view mirror (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an inside rear view mirror with an
auto-dimming function. When the mirror is put in the AUTO position, it
will detect bright lights (glare) from behind the vehicle, and will change
from the undarkened high reflective state to the darkened state during
night driving to minimize glare.

Using the engine block heater (if equipped)
An engine block heater warms the engine coolant which aids in starting
and heater/defroster performance. Use of an engine block heater is
strongly recommended if you live in a region where temperatures reach
-23É C (-10É F) or below. For best results, plug the heater in at least
three hours before starting the vehicle. The heater can be plugged in the
night before starting the vehicle.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged (cheater)
adapters.
Guarding against exhaust fumes
Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid
its dangerous effects.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer
inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
Important ventilating information
If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of
time, open the windows at least 2.5 cm (one inch) or adjust the heating
or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.
BRAKES
Your service brakes are self-adjusting. Refer to the scheduled
maintenance guide for scheduled maintenance.
Occasional brake noise is normal and often does not indicate a
performance concern with the vehicle's brake system. In normal
operation, automotive brake systems may emit occasional or intermittent
squeal or groan noises when the brakes are applied. Such noises are
usually heard during the first few brake applications in the morning;
however, they may be heard at any time while braking and can be
aggravated by environmental conditions such as cold, heat, moisture,
road dust, salt or mud. If a ªmetal-to-metal,º ªcontinuous grindingº or
ªcontinuous squealº sound is present while braking, the brake linings
may be worn-out and should be inspected by a qualified service
technician.

²Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning
the engine.
²Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the
running engine may cause internal damage.
PLASTIC (NON-PAINTED) EXTERIOR PARTS
Use only approved products to clean plastic parts. These products are
available from your dealer.
²For routine cleaning, use Motorcraft Detail Wash (ZC-3±A).
²If tar or grease spots are present, use Motorcraft Bug and Tar
Remover (ZC-42).
WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES
The windshield, rear and side windows and the wiper blades should be
cleaned regularly. If the wipers do not wipe properly, substances on the
vehicle's glass or the wiper blades may be the cause. These may include
hot wax treatments used by commercial car washes, tree sap, or other
organic contamination. To clean these items, please follow these tips:
²The windshield, rear windows and side windows may be cleaned with
a non-abrasive cleaner such as Motorcraft Ultra Clear Spray Glass
Cleaner (ZC-23), available from your dealer.
²Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.
²Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any parts.
²Wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or
windshield washer solution. Be sure to replace wiper blades when they
appear worn or do not function properly.
