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 Manual 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 Manual when reselling the
vehicle. It is an integral part of the vehicle.
SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Symbols in this manual
WARNING:You risk death or serious injury to yourself and
others if you do not follow the instruction highlighted by the
warning symbol.
Symbols on your vehicle
When you see these symbols, read and follow the relevant
instructions in this manual before touching or attempting
adjustment of any kind.
Protecting the Environment
You must play your part in protecting the environment. Correct
vehicle usage and the authorized disposal of waste, cleaning
and lubrication materials are significant steps toward this aim.

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.
Driving to optimize range between charges
Your range should improve throughout your electric vehicle’s break-in
period. Range, like fuel economy in a standard vehicle, can be
significantly impacted by your driving habits and accessory usage. For
best results, keep in mind these tips:
Tire Inflation:Keep tires properly inflated and only use recommended
size.
Drive Habits:Aggressive driving increases the amount of energy
required to move your vehicle. In general, better range is achieved with
mild to moderate acceleration and deceleration. Also, this vehicle has the
longest range when driving at slower speeds. When practical, driving on
surface streets instead of high speed highways will increase range. Mild
to moderate braking is particularly important since it allows you to
maximize the energy captured by the regenerative braking system.
Additional Tips:
•Do not carry extra loads
•Be mindful of adding external accessories that may increase
aerodynamic drag
•Observe posted speed limits
•Perform all scheduled maintenance
•Pre-conditioning the vehicle cabin while it is on plug will reduce the
energy expenditure on climate control and improve range. Refer to
High voltage batteryin theMaintenance and Specifications
chapter.
