When charging, the light ring will display how far along the charge is:
• When the top right quadrant is pulsing the charge is between
0–25 percent.
• When the top right quadrant is solidly lit and the bottom right
quadrant is pulsing the charge is between 25–50 percent.
• When both right side quadrants are solidly lit and the bottom left
quadrant is pulsing the charge is between 50–75 percent.
• When three quadrants are solidly lit and the top left quadrant is
pulsing the charge is between 75–100 percent.
• When the entire ring is solidly lit, the charge is complete.

Convenience Charging and MyFord Mobile
The setting up of the charging convenience features is primarily done
with the MyFord Mobile smart phone application. Visit myfordmobile.com
for more complete information and to set up your MyFord Mobile
account.
Your electric vehicle also has some convenience features to improve your
charging experience:
• Value Charge: The vehicle schedules charging at the lowest available
utility rates. Contact your utility company to see what rates are
available.
• Charge Now: Fully charge your vehicle at the quickest rate. The
vehicle starts charging immediately after you connect the charging
coupler into the vehicle.
• My GO Time: Setting My GO times through the MyFord Mobile
application allows you to set charging schedules and cabin
preconditioning settings so your vehicle is ready to drive when you
are. By setting a My GO time the vehicles charge can be completed
before your next set drive time. A calendar view allows you to
program two My GO Times per day for each of the seven days of the
week. Remember, your vehicle must be plugged in for My GO time to
work.
• Cabin Preconditioning: Get the most miles out of every charge by
preconditioning your vehicle while it’s still plugged in and charging.
Use your smart phone to set the cabin temperature and departure
time before you leave so you use energy from your home wall outlet
instead of your battery to heat or cool your vehicle.

HIGH-VOLTAGE SERVICE DISCONNECT
The high-voltage service disconnect shuts off power from the
high-voltage battery.
Disabling the High-Voltage Battery
Note:There are two disconnect circuits in your vehicle. Disconnecting
one circuit will automatically disable the high-voltage battery.
To disable the high-voltage battery and stop all high-voltage electric
activity in the vehicle you can access one or both of the two high-voltage
disconnect circuits. To do this, you must unplug one of the circuits from
the circuit ports connected to the battery.
The lower battery high-voltage disconnect circuit is located by the right
rear wheel, accessible from under the car.
The upper battery high-voltage disconnect circuit is located behind the
rear fold-down seats near the left side of the vehicle, and is more easily
accessible than the lower battery circuit. To access this circuit:
1. Fold down the left rear seat.
2. Locate the access door. Press the
button on the top of the access
door to remove the plastic cover.
3. A cut out area will be visible
which allows your hand access to
the circuit.
4. Press the tab on the top center of
the circuit and rotate the handle
toward you. Press again to pull the
hand down.
5. Pull the handle toward you and remove the circuit from the vehicle to
disable the high-voltage battery.
Reactivating the High-Voltage Battery
Note: If you have manually disconnected your high-voltage shutoff
circuits you will need to reconnect the circuits before they can be
reactivated. The vehicle will detect if the electrical system is safe and
reactivate automatically.
