MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT
Using mobile communications equipment is becoming increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However, you
must not compromise your 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, text messaging devices and
portable two-way radios.
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that you
use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take
your focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation
of your vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device
while driving, encourage the use of voice operated systems when
possible and that you become aware of applicable state and local laws
that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
SYMBOL GLOSSARY

Switching Mono Mode Back On
Press and hold the AUTO button. The passenger’s side temperature is
adjusted to the driver’s side temperature setting.
Operating Tips
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid
weather, select defrost.
•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, avoid driving with the
system switched off unless a window can be opened to help circulate
fresh air.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows open for
approximately 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until the
vehicle has “aired out.”
•The A/C system is used to cool both the interior of the vehicle and the
high voltage battery. In hot outside temperatures, interior cooling may
be temporarily reduced if the high voltage battery requires cooling.
Keep the vehicle plugged in (when possible) to allow automatic
battery cooling in high temperature conditions.
•Interior heating is done by an electrical heater. Set the fan at a lower
speed to get a warmer outlet temperature on cold days.
•A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
Maximum Cooling Performance
1. Press MAX A/C. The system defaults to single zone operation and the
coldest temperature setting. LO appears in the display.
2. A/C,
andwill be selected.
3. Fan speed will be increased to the highest speed, but can be adjusted
as desired.

Side Window Defogging or Defrosting
1. Select air distribution through the floor vent.
2. Select air distribution through the panel vent.
3. Select A/C.
4. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
5. Set the fan to the highest speed.
6. Direct the outer instrument panel vents toward the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Improving Vehicle Drive Range
Your vehicle is equipped with a high voltage electric compressor and a
high voltage electric heater. You can increase your driving range by
minimizing the amount of energy expended to cool or heat the interior
during the drive.
•Press the brake pedal and power button while the vehicle is charging
to switch the climate control system on. This is beneficial because it
draws as much power as possible from the wall charge and not the
high voltage battery.
•Pre-condition the interior temperature during vehicle charging
reduces the battery energy use on the interior comfort and improves
range. SeeConvenience charging with MyFord mobilein the
Charging Your High Voltage Batterychapter.
•Hot and cold temperatures make your vehicle use more energy to
achieve and maintain a comfortable interior temperature. Park the
vehicle in the shade or in a parking structure when hot, and in a
garage when cold.
•Consider opening a window (or windows) to let fresh air circulate, if
weather conditions permit. Maximum energy savings can be achieved
by switching the climate system off. Do this only if conditions exist
for safe vehicle operation.
•Reduce fan speed.
•Set the AUTO temperature a couple degrees cooler than you normally
do on cold days and a couple degrees higher on hot days. Use the
heated seats on cold days to increase interior comfort.
•Switch the air conditioning system off in mild temperatures or low
humidity conditions.

FRONT SEATS
WARNING:Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to
slide under the seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe personal
injuries in the event of a collision.
WARNING:Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to
reduce the risk of injury in a collision or sudden stop.
WARNING:Before returning the seatback to its original position,
make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind the
seatback. After returning the seatback to its original position, pull on
the seatback to ensure that it has fully latched. An unlatched seat may
become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
WARNING:Never adjust the driver’s seat or seatback when the
vehicle is moving.
WARNING:Always drive and ride with your seatback upright
and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.
Adjustable head restraints
WARNING:To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, the driver and passenger occupants should not sit in
and/or operate the vehicle, until the head restraint is placed in its
proper position. The driver should never adjust the head restraint while
the vehicle is in motion.
Your vehicle is equipped with front row head restraints that are vertically
adjustable.
Seating and Safety Restraints171

WARNING:To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, head restraints must be installed properly.
Tilting Head Restraints (If Equipped)
The front head restraints may have a tilting feature for extra comfort. To
tilt the head restraint, do the following:
1. Adjust the seatback to an upright driving/riding
position.
2. Tilt the head restraint forward by gently pulling
the top of the head restraint.
Once it is in its forward-most position, tilting it forward once more will
release it to the upright position.
Note:Do not attempt to force the head restraint backward after it is
tilted. Instead, continue tilting it forward until the head restraint releases
to the upright position.
MANUAL SEATS
WARNING:Never adjust the driver’s seat or seatback when the
vehicle is moving.
WARNING:Rock the seat backward and forward after releasing
the lever to make sure that it is fully engaged.
