Opening the Trunk (Sedan Only)
Press the button twice within three seconds to open the trunk.
Make sure the trunk is closed and latched before driving your vehicle. An
unlatched trunk may cause objects to fall out or block the driver’s rear
view.
Smart Locks (If Equipped)
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle
if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors and you lock the vehicle with the
power door lock control (on the driver or passenger door trim panel), all
the doors will lock, then all doors will automatically unlock reminding
you that your key is still in the ignition.
The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, by locking
the driver’s door with a key or using the lock control on the remote
control.
If both front doors and the liftgate are closed, the vehicle can be locked
from any method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
Illuminated Entry (If Equipped)
The interior lamps and parking lamps will illuminate when the remote
control is used to unlock the door(s) or when any door is opened.
The illuminated entry system will turn off the lights if:
•the ignition is turned to the on position,
•the remote control lock button is pressed,
•after 25 seconds of illumination.
The interior lights will not turn off if:
•they have been turned on with the dimmer control, or
•any door is open.

The system will warn you of an unauthorized entry to your vehicle. It
will be triggered if any door, the luggage compartment or the hood is
opened without using the key or the remote control.
The park and turn lamps will flash and the horn will sound if
unauthorized entry is attempted while the alarm is armed.
Take all remote controls to an authorized dealer if there is any potential
alarm problem with your vehicle.
Arming the Alarm
The alarm is ready to arm when there is not a key in the ignition. Lock
the vehicle to arm the alarm.

Disarm the alarm by any of the following actions:
•Unlock the doors or luggage compartment with the remote control.
•Turn the ignition on or start the vehicle.

ignition on within 12 seconds.

Tire Replacement Requirements
WARNING:Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the
same size, load index, speed rating and type (such as P-metric
versus LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally
provided by Ford. The recommended tire and wheel size may be found on
either the Safety Compliance Certification Label (affixed to either the door
hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the door edge that meets the door-latch
post, next to the driver’s seating position), or the Tire Label which is
located on the B-Pillar or edge of the driver’s door. If this information is not
found on these labels, then you should contact your authorized dealer as
soon as possible. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can
affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an
increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death. Additionally the use of non-recommended tires and wheels could
cause steering, suspension, axle, transfer case or power transfer unit
failure. If you have questions regarding tire replacement, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING:When mounting replacement tires and wheels, you
should not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the
sidewall of the tire to set the beads without additional precautions
listed below. If the beads do not seat at the maximum pressure
indicated, re-lubricate and try again.
When inflating the tire for mounting pressures up to 20 psi (1.38 bar)
greater than the maximum pressure on the tire sidewall, the following
precautions must be taken to protect the person mounting the tire:
1. Make sure that you have the correct tire and wheel size.
2. Lubricate the tire bead and wheel bead seat area again.
3. Stand at a minimum of 12 ft (3.66 m) away from the tire wheel
assembly.
4. Use both eye and ear protection.
For a mounting pressure more than 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater than the
maximum pressure, a Ford dealer or other tire service professional
should do the mounting.
Always inflate steel carcass tires with a remote air fill with the person
inflating standing at a minimum of 12 ft (3.66 m) away from the tire
wheel assembly.
Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide a safe ride and
handling capability.
