condition interferes with the window’s movement, the window will
automatically reverse direction and move down. This is known as
“bounce-back”. If the ignition is turned off (without accessory delay

the window will stop. For example, this can be used to overcome the
resistance of ice on the window or seals.

INTERIOR MIRROR
The interior rear view mirror has two pivot points on the support arm
which lets you adjust the mirror up or down and from side to side.
WARNING:Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is in
motion.
Automatic dimming interior rear view mirror
The interior rear view mirror and a driver’s side exterior mirror have an
auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirrors will change from
the normal (high reflective) state to the non-glare (darkened) state
when bright lights (glare) reach the interior mirror. When the interior
mirror detects bright light from behind the vehicle, the interior rear view
mirror and the driver’s side exterior mirror will automatically adjust
(darken) to minimize glare.
The mirrors will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
Do not block the sensors on the front and back of the interior
rear view mirror since this may impair proper mirror
performance.
Note:A rear center passenger and/or raised rear center headrest (if
equipped) may also block the light from reaching the sensor.
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.

PANORAMIC VISTA ROOF™ AND POWER SUNSHADES
(IF EQUIPPED)
The panoramic Vista Roof™ and power sunshade controls are located on
the overhead console.
WARNING:Do not let children play with the panoramic Vista
Roof™ and power sunshade or leave children unattended in the
vehicle. They may seriously hurt themselves.
WARNING:When closing the panoramic Vista Roof™ and

and ensure that children and/or pets are not in the proximity of the
panoramic Vista Roof™ and power sunshade opening.
Note:Do not attempt to move the panoramic power sunshades manually
or sunshade damage or malfunction may occur. The sunshade track clips
are designed to release the sunshade crossbar in order to prevent
damage to the system. If this occurs the sunshade crossbar ends may
just need to be slid back into position to regain proper function. See
your authorized dealer for proper panoramic Vista Roof™ or sunshade
operating, diagnostic or repair instructions.
Note:The same
control operates both the sunshades and the
panoramic Vista Roof™.
The panoramic Vista Roof™ and power sunshade are equipped with an
automatic, one-touch, express opening feature. To stop motion at any
time during the one-touch operation, press the control a second time.

Utility hook
The utility hook can be used to
hang small items such as grocery
bags, etc. Do not hang more than
10 lb (4.5 kg) on the hook.
ROOF RACK SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Loads should never be placed directly on the roof panel. For proper
function of the roof rack system, loads must be placed directly on
crossbars affixed to the roof rack side rails. Your vehicle may be
equipped with factory-installed crossbars. Ford Genuine Accessory
crossbars, designed specifically for your vehicle, are also recommended
for use with your roof rack system.
The vehicle’s roof panel isNOTdesigned to directly carry a load.The
maximum recommended load is 100 lb (45 kg), evenly distributed
on the crossbars.Ensure that the load is securely fastened.
WARNING:When loading the roof rail crossbars, it is
recommended to evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a
low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher centers of gravity,
may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such
as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken
when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
When the rail system is loaded, check the tightness of the load before
driving and at each fuel stop.

The safety canopy is mounted to roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the
headliner, above each row of seats. In certain lateral collisions or rollover
events, the Safety Canopy System will be activated, regardless of which
seats are occupied. The safety canopy is designed to inflate between the
side window area and occupants to further enhance protection provided
in side impact collisions and rollover events.
The fact that the safety canopy did not activate in a collision does not
mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the
forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. The safety
canopy is designed to inflate in certain side impact collisions or rollover
events, not in rear impact, frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless the
collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration or rollover.
WARNING:If the Safety
Canopy System has
deployed, the safety canopy will
not function again unless replaced.
The Safety Canopy System
(including the A, B, C, and D
pillar trim and headliner) must be
inspected and serviced by an
authorized dealer. If the safety
canopy is not replaced, it will not
function again, which will increase

when you press the START/STOP button, it may be necessary to move
your IA key to another area within the vehicle. The IA key may not be
detected near the roof (between the driver or passenger sunvisor and
the roof, or in the overhead console area) or in the extreme corners of
the rear package tray, near your audio speakers. It is not recommended
that you stow the IA key in these locations. If you move the IA key to a
location where it has been detected before and you still see the NO KEY
DETECTED message, your IA key’s battery may be low or you may be in
an area with excessive radio frequency interference. If this occurs, you
can use the back-up method to start your vehicle (see below).
Backup method of starting:Your IA key uses a radio frequency signal
to communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to start
when you press the START/STOP button and apply the brake pedal. If
excessive radio frequency interference is present in the area, or if the
battery in your IA key is low, it may be necessary to start your car by
inserting the IA key in the backup slot, located in the center console.
Insert the IA key into the slot with buttons facing out and with key ring
up. After inserting the IA key into the backup slot, use the START/STOP
button and brake pedal to start your vehicle as usual. The vehicle should
respond normally as long as the IA key is in the backup slot in the
center console. Once the vehicle is started, the IA key can be removed
from the backup slot, if desired.
Fast restart feature:The fast restart feature allows you to re-start
your vehicle within 20 seconds of switching the vehicle off, if a valid IA
key is not present when the vehicle is switched off. When you switch
your vehicle off without an IA key in the passenger compartment or
trunk, the message RESTART NOW OR KEY IS NEEDED will be
displayed in the message center. You can re-start the vehicle (by
applying the brake pedal and pressing the START/STOP button) for up
to 20 seconds, even though the IA key is not present. After 20 seconds
have expired, you can no longer start your vehicle without the IA key
present inside the vehicle.
Switching the vehicle off when not in P (Park):It is recommended
that you shift into the P (Park) position before switching your vehicle
off. If you switch your vehicle off with the shifter in any position other
than P (Park), the message SHIFT TO PARK will be displayed in the
message center. If the vehicle is left in this state, your key in ignition
chime will activate when the driver door is opened, and you may drain
your vehicle’s battery. In order to avoid draining your battery, it is
recommended that you always shift to P (Park) before or immediately
after switching your vehicle off.
