Congratulations
Congratulations on acquiring your new Ford Motor Company product.
Please take the time to get well acquainted with your vehicle by reading
this handbook. The more you know and understand about your vehicle,
the greater the safety and pleasure you will derive from driving it.
For more information on Ford Motor Company and its products visit the
following website:
•In the United States: www.ford.com
• In Canada: www.ford.ca
• In Mexico: www.ford.com.mx
Additional owner information is given in separate publications.
This vehicle’s Owner’s Guide describes every option and model variant
available and therefore some of the items covered may not apply to your
particular vehicle. Furthermore, due to printing cycles it may describe
options before they are generally available.
Remember to pass on this vehicle’s Owner’s Guide when reselling the
vehicle. It is an integral part of the vehicle.
Safety and Environment Protection
Symbols in this manual

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING:Some constituents of engine exhaust, certain vehicle
components, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain
products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
PERCHLORATE MATERIAL
Note: Certain components in your vehicle such as airbag modules, safety
belt pretensioners, and remote control batteries may contain perchlorate
material. Special handling may apply for service or vehicle end of life
disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for more
information.
Breaking-in your vehicle
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the
moving parts a chance to break in.
Electric Vehicle Operation
This electric vehicle operates entirely from electricity stored in the on-board
high voltage battery pack. There is no internal combustion engine as in a
typical vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle, which leads to unique operating
characteristics. Familiarizing yourself with these unique characteristics will
help ensure optimal performance from your new vehicle.
Normal vehicle operation
Starting: The vehicle is equipped with a Passive Entry, Passive Start
(PEPS) system. The key fob must be inside the vehicle in order to start
the vehicle. Press the start button while your vehicle is in P (Park) with
your foot on the brake pedal. The startup sequence will display on the
cluster and 8 inch center stack screen and the green ready to drive
indicator light will appear in the instrument cluster, letting you know
that the vehicle is ready for driving.
Driving: The electric vehicle driver controls operate the same as a
traditional automobile and the vehicle is designed to be driven in the full
range of traffic and weather conditions. You will likely notice the lack of
sound when driving the electric vehicle which is due to the lack of an
internal combustion engine.

Stopping:The vehicle is equipped with a regenerative braking system.
Slowing the vehicle adds charge to the high voltage battery which
improves vehicle range.
Transmission Operation: This electric vehicle is equipped with a single
speed transmission. Torque is delivered to the wheels seamlessly without
shifting associated with a normal automatic transmission.
Neutral: N (Neutral gear)
Low: L (Low gear) is designed to mimic the enhanced engine braking
available in conventional vehicles. L (Low gear) will produce a higher
level of regenerative braking when your foot is off the accelerator pedal.
This is normal and will not damage your vehicle.
Reverse: R (Reverse gear)
Unique electric operating characteristics
Your electric vehicle, with its new technology, behaves differently
compared to a conventional vehicle or hybrid. Here is a description of
the major differences:
Battery: The best battery performance and life comes when the high
voltage battery is at a moderate temperature. The high voltage battery is
heated and cooled by a liquid cooling loop. The high voltage battery
consists of two packs one located under the rear seat and the second
located behind the rear seat in the trunk of the vehicle.
Plugging In: The electric vehicle must be plugged in to recharge the high
voltage battery. The vehicle is equipped with a high voltage charge port on
the front left hand fender for charging. The vehicle comes standard with a
120V convenience cord set which is located in the trunk. This can be
plugged into any standard electric outlet and will fully charge the high
voltage battery in about 18-20 hours. Ford has partnered with Best Buy to
offer a 240V Leviton charger that is capable of fully charging the battery in
3 to 4 hours. The charge port door is designed for convenient “push-push”
opening and closing. Press on the door in the location of the indentation to
open the door. To close the door, press in the same location until the door
has rotated back into position and clicked into place. To charge the vehicle,
open the charge port door and plug the charging coupler into the charge
port receptacle. You will know the connection has been made when the
charge port light ring illuminates the quadrants individually. The light ring
will then display battery state of charge in 25% increments.
Braking: Your electric vehicle is equipped with standard hydraulic
braking and regenerative braking. Regenerative braking is performed by
your transmission and it captures brake energy and stores it in your high
voltage battery. This system greatly improves driving range especially in
stop and go city traffic.

WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS
These indicators can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become
serious enough to cause expensive repairs. Many lights will illuminate
when you start your vehicle to make sure they work. If any light remains
on after starting the vehicle, refer to the respective system warning light
for additional information.
Note:Some warning indicators are reconfigurable telltales (RTT). These
indicators appear in the information display and function the same as a
warning light, but do not display on startup.
Cluster shown in standard measure – metric clusters similar.
Stability Control System
Displays when the AdvanceTrac/Traction control is active. If
the light remains on, have the system serviced immediately.
Stability Control System Off Illuminates when AdvanceTrac/Traction control has been
disabled by the driver.
Airbag readiness If this light fails to illuminate when the ignition is turned on,
continues to flash or remains on, contact your authorized dealer
as soon as possible. A chime will sound when there is a
malfunction in the indicator light.

Anti-lock brake systemIf the ABS light stays illuminated or continues to flash, a
malfunction has been detected. Contact your authorized dealer
as soon as possible. Normal braking is still functional unless the
brake warning light also is illuminated.
Brake system warning light
To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it will
momentarily illuminate when the vehicle is switched on, to
accessory or Ready to Drive mode.
If it illuminates when you are driving, check that the parking brake is not
engaged. If the parking brake is not engaged, this indicates low brake
fluid level or a brake system malfunction. Have the system checked
immediately by your authorized dealer.
WARNING: Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning
light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle.
Have the vehicle checked by your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Driving extended distances with the parking brake engaged can cause
brake failure and the risk of personal injury.
High voltage battery low or depleted (RTT) •Amber: Illuminates when the battery level is low. May also be
accompanied by a message suggesting the driver reduce
usage of the climate system.
• Red: Illuminates when the battery level is depleted. The vehicle must
be charged before it will operate. If you are driving when this occurs,
and cannot make it to a charge point, stop the vehicle in a safe place
and have it towed to a charge point.
Charging system (RTT) Illuminates when the 12–volt battery is not charging properly.
Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. This
indicates a problem with the electrical system or a related
component.
Door ajar (RTT) Displays when the ignition is on and any door is not completely
closed.
