supplement for more information.
Cell phone use
The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,
drivers must not compromise their own or others’ safety when using
such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety
and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.
Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, in-vehicle communications
systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using any device that may take their
focus off the road. The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe
operation of their vehicle. Only use cell phones and other devices not
essential to the driving task when it is safe to do so.

brake pedal).
Fuel gauge:With the ignition on,
this gauge indicates approximately
how much fuel is left in the fuel
tank. The fuel gauge may vary
slightly when the vehicle is in
motion or on a grade. When fuel
level becomes low (50 miles [80km]
to empty), the level indicator will
change to yellow. When fuel level
becomes critically low (0 miles
[0 km] to empty), the level indicator
will change to red.
The fuel icon with the arrow points to the side of the vehicle that the
fuel filler door is on.

Instantaneous fuel economy
gauge:The instantaneous fuel
economy is displayed in miles per
gallon (or liters per 100 kilometers)
from 0 to 60 mpg (or 0 to
30 L/100km). Your vehicle must be
moving to calculate instantaneous
fuel economy. If your instantaneous
fuel economy is greater than
60 mpg, a “+” sign will be displayed
next to the 60, indicating that the
current value is above the maximum that the graph can display.
Instantaneous fuel economy cannot be reset. You may turn this gauge on
or off at any information level. Refer toMessage centerin this chapter
for more information.
Efficiency information gauge:You have three choices for displaying
efficiency information: Efficiency Leaves, History Graph, or No Efficiency

Efficiency leaves:Indicates short
term driving efficiency, measured
over the last few minutes. The more
leaves and vines that are displayed,
the more efficiently you’re driving.
Leaves and vines will occasionally
appear and disappear to indicate a
change in driving efficiency.
Note:The efficiency display can be
impacted by your use of brakes,
accelerator and accessories as well
as environmental conditions such as terrain and weather.
History graph:Indicates average
fuel economy in 10, 20, or
60 minute intervals. You can choose
the interval using the message
center. The graph is updated each
minute with the fuel economy that
was achieved during the prior 1, 2,
or 6 minutes of driving, respectively.
Each new average will be added to
the left side of the graph, shifting
the past data to the right. When the
graph area is full, the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running
scroll with the bar on the left being the most recent. Note that previous
values will remain when the vehicle is shut off and restarted, but values
from a previous drive cycle will be grayed out. The average fuel economy
since the last reset, or last 2,000 miles (3,200 km) of driving, is shown as
a horizontal line across the bar graph.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on the
history graph display mode.
No efficiency information:If you choose, you may turn off both the
Efficiency leaves and History Graph using the message center. In this
case, the portion of your instrument cluster devoted to this information
