LOCATION OF SPARE
TIRE AND TOOLS
Your vehicle is equipped with a
temporary spare tire, which is
smaller than a regular tire, and
designed for emergency use
only. The jack, spare tire, jack
handle, and lug nut wrench
are under the cargo cover in
the trunk of the vehicle.
FUSESIf your electrical components
aren't working properly, a
fuse may have blown. For
more information, please
consult your Owner's Guide.FUEL PUMP
SHUTOFF SWITCH
This device stops the electric
fuel pump from sending fuel
to the engine when your
vehicle has had a substantial
jolt. After an accident, if the
engine cranks but does not
start, this switch may have
been activated. The fuel pump
shutoff switch is located in
the front passenger footwell
area in the right upper corner.
UNLEADED FUEL
RECOMMENDATIONS
For optimum performance,
use “Regular” unleaded fuel
with a pump (R+M)/2 octane
rating of at least 87. We do
not recommend the use of
gasolines labeled as
“Regular” with octane ratings
of 86 or lower that are sold in
high altitude areas.
TIRE PRESSURESafe operation of your Five
Hundred requires that your
tires be properly inflated. The
Ford recommended inflation
pressure is found on the Tire
Label or the Certification
Label located near the front
door latch on the driver's
side. At least once a month
and before long trips, inspect
each tire and check the air
pressure with a tire gauge.
Don't forget the spare. Air
pressure should be checked
when the tires are cold.
Inflate all tires to the inflation
pressure recommended by
Ford Motor Company.
HOOD RELEASETo open the hood, pull the
hood release handle under
the bottom of the instrument
panel near the steering
column. Go to the front of the
vehicle and release the
auxiliary latch located under
the front center of the hood.
Use the prop rod to support
the raised hood.
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCEIn addition to your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty,Ford provides new vehicle
owners with a complimentary
roadside assistance program.
This service is available
24 hours a day, seven days aweek, for three years or
36,000 miles (60,000 km).
It covers changing a flat tire,
jump starts, limited fuel
delivery, lockout assistance,
and towing of your vehicle.

REAR WINDOW BUFFETINGWhen one or both of your
rear windows are fully open,
you may experience a wind
throb or buffeting noise. This
is common among all vehiclesand can be eliminated simply
by lowering a front window
two to three inches.
UNDERSTANDING THE CVT (IF EQUIPPED)Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
The CVT is a fully automatic transmission that electronically
monitors vehicle system inputs/outputs and driver demands to
select the desired drive ratio. Unlike traditional automatic
transmissions, the CVT continually adjusts the optimum
overall drive ratio between engine and drive wheels for all
operating conditions.
As traditional automatic transmissions shift up or down in
gears, the shifting in gear ratios is noticeable by increasing and
decreasing engine RPM, which causes a slight energy loss as
the gears change. These gear changes can be felt by the driver.
With the CVT, there is no energy transfer loss from shifting
because there is no gear shifting up or down. Acceleration up
to vehicle operating speed is smooth and continuous,
uninterrupted by gear shifting. The same holds true for coasting
down to idle: smooth and continuous.
Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, the CVT offers more
responsive performance and increased fuel economy.
The use of fluids other than the recommended fluid could
seriously damage internal transmission components. For more
information, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
