Vehicle Information and General
Safety Practices
•
Know the make and model of your
vehicle.
• Review the owner ’s manual and
become familiar with your vehicle ’s
safety information and
recommended safety practices.
• Do not attempt to repair damaged
electric and hybrid-electric
vehicles yourself. Contact an
authorized Ford Dealer or vehicle
manufacturer representative for
service.
Crashes
A crash or impact significant enough
to require an emergency response for
conventional vehicles would also
require the same response for an
electric or hybrid-electric vehicle.
If possible
• Move your car to a safe, nearby
location and remain on the scene.
• Roll down the windows before
shutting your vehicle off.
• Place your vehicle in Park, set the
parking brake, turn off the vehicle,
activate the hazard lights, and
move your key(s) at least 16 feet
(5 meters) away from the vehicle. Always
•
Call 911 if assistance is needed and
advise that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
• Do not touch exposed electrical
components or the engine
compartment, as a shock hazard
may exist.
• Avoid contact with leaking fluids
and gases, and remain out of the
way of oncoming traffic until
emergency responders arrive.
• When emergency responders
arrive, tell them that the vehicle
involved is an electric vehicle or
hybrid vehicle.
Fires
As with any vehicle, call 911
immediately if you see sparks, smoke
or flames coming from the vehicle.
• Exit the vehicle immediately.
• Advise 911 that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
• As with any vehicle fire, do not
inhale smoke, vapors or gas from
the vehicle, as they may be
hazardous.
• Remain a safe distance upwind
and uphill from the vehicle fire.
• Stay out of the roadway and stay
out of the way of any oncoming
traffic while awaiting the arrival of
emergency responders.

GETTING ASSISTANCE
OUTSIDE THE U.S. AND
CANADA
Before exporting your vehicle to a
foreign country, contact the
appropriate foreign embassy or
consulate. These officials can inform
you of local vehicle registration
regulations and where to find
unleaded fuel.
If you cannot find unleaded fuel or can
only get fuel with an anti-knock index
lower than is recommended for your
vehicle, contact our Customer
Relationship Center.
The use of leaded fuel in your vehicle
without proper conversion may
damage the effectiveness of your
emission control system and may
cause engine knocking or serious
engine damage. Ford Motor Company
or Ford of Canada is not responsible
for any damage caused by use of
improper fuel. Using leaded fuel may
also result in difficulty importing your
vehicle back into the United States.
If your vehicle must be serviced while
you are traveling or living in
Asia-Pacific Region, Sub-Saharan
Africa, U.S. Virgin Islands, Central
America, the Caribbean, and Israel,
contact the nearest authorized dealer.

FUSE SPECIFICATION
CHART
Power Distribution Box
WARNINGS
Always disconnect the battery
before servicing high-current
fuses. To reduce risk of electrical shock,
always replace the cover to the
power distribution box before
reconnecting the battery or refilling
fluid reservoirs. The power distribution box is in the
engine compartment. It has
high-current fuses that protect your
vehicle's main electrical systems from
overloads.
If you disconnect and reconnect the
battery, you will need to reset some
features. See Changing the 12V
Battery (page 287). The high-current fuses are coded as
follows:

ENGINE OIL CHECK
Note: Check the level before starting
the engine.
Note: Make sure that the level is
between the MIN and the MAX marks.
1. Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 10 minutes for the oil to drain into the
oil pan.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Replace the dipstick and remove
it again to check the oil level.
If the level is at the MIN mark, add oil
immediately.
Adding Engine Oil
Note: Do not remove the filler cap
when the engine is running. Note:
Do not add oil further than the
MAX mark. Oil levels above the MAX
mark may cause engine damage. Only use oils certified for gasoline
engines by the American Petroleum
Institute (API). An oil with this
trademark symbol conforms to the
current engine and emission system
protection standards and fuel
economy requirements of the
International Lubricants Specification
Advisory Council (ILSAC), comprised
of U.S. and Japanese automobile
manufacturers.
1. Remove the filler cap.
2.
Add engine oil that meets the Ford
specifications. See Capacities
and Specifications (page 330).
3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel a strong resistance.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
Engine Coolant and Inverter
System Controller Coolant
Your vehicle is equipped with two
separate cooling systems. One is for
cooling the engine and one is for
cooling the inverter system controller
that is specific to the hybrid operating
system. The two systems operate
similarly, with the inverter system
controller cooling system generally
operating at a lower temperature and
pressure.
Checking the Engine Coolant
When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of the engine
coolant at the intervals listed in the
scheduled maintenance information.
See Scheduled Maintenance (page
444).
Note: Make sure that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on
the engine coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot.
The level may extend beyond the MAX
mark.
Note: If the level is at the MIN mark,
below the MIN mark, or empty, add
prediluted coolant immediately. See
Adding Engine Coolant
in this
chapter.
The coolant concentration should be
maintained within 48% to 50%,
which equates to a freeze point
between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F
(-37°C). Note:
For best results, coolant
concentration should be tested with a
refractometer such as Rotunda tool
300-ROB75240 available from your
dealer. Ford does not recommend the
use of hydrometers or coolant test
strips for measuring coolant
concentrations.
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. Do not use engine
coolant or antifreeze or windshield
washer fluid outside of its specified
function and vehicle location.
Checking the Inverter System
Controller Coolant
When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of the inverter
system controller coolant at the
intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 444).
Note: Make sure that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on
the inverter system controller coolant
reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot.
The level may extend beyond the MAX
mark.
Note: If the level is at the MIN mark,
below the MIN mark, or empty, add
prediluted coolant immediately. See
Adding Inverter System Controller
Coolant
in this chapter.
The coolant concentration should be
maintained within 48% to 50%,
which equates to a freeze point
between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F
(-37°C).
