RECOMMENDATION
Your vehicle has been built to the
highest standards using quality parts.
We recommend that you demand the
use of genuine Ford and Motorcraft
parts whenever your vehicle requires
scheduled maintenance or repair. You
can clearly identify genuine Ford and
Motorcraft parts by looking for the
Ford, FoMoCo or Motorcraft branding
on the parts or their packaging.
Scheduled Maintenance and
Mechanical Repairs
One of the best ways for you to make
sure that your vehicle provides years
of service is to have it maintained in
line with our recommendations using
parts that conform to the
specifications detailed in this Owner
’s
Manual. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft
parts meet or exceed these
specifications.
Collision Repairs
We hope that you never experience a
collision, but accidents do happen.
Genuine Ford replacement collision
parts meet our stringent requirements
for fit, finish, structural integrity,
corrosion protection and dent
resistance. During vehicle
development we validate these parts
deliver the intended level of protection
as a whole system. A great way to
know for sure you are getting this level
of protection is to use genuine Ford
replacement collision parts.

Introduction

The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly
upon activation. After airbag
deployment, it is normal to notice a
smoke-like, powdery residue or smell
the burnt propellant. This may consist
of cornstarch, talcum powder (to
lubricate the bag) or sodium
compounds (e.g., baking soda) that
result from the combustion process
that inflates the airbag. Small
amounts of sodium hydroxide may be
present which may irritate the skin
and eyes, but none of the residue is
toxic. While the system is designed to
help reduce serious injuries, contact
with a deploying airbag may also
cause abrasions or swelling.
Temporary hearing loss is also a
possibility as a result of the noise
associated with a deploying airbag.
Because airbags must inflate rapidly
and with considerable force, there is
the risk of death or serious injuries
such as fractures, facial and eye
injuries or internal injuries, particularly
to occupants who are not properly
restrained or are otherwise out of
position at the time of airbag
deployment. Thus, it is extremely
important that occupants be properly
restrained as far away from the airbag
module as possible while maintaining
vehicle control.
Routine maintenance of the airbags
is not required.
SOS POST-CRASH ALERT
SYSTEM
The system flashes the turn signal
lamps and sounds the horn
(intermittently) in the event of a
serious impact that deploys an airbag
(front, side, side curtain or Safety
Canopy) or the safety belt
pretensioners.
The horn and lamps will turn off when:
•
the hazard control button is
pressed
• the panic button (if equipped) is
pressed on the remote entry
transmitter, or
• your vehicle runs out of power.
Spin out Detection
If a spinout is detected and the hazard
warning flashers come on, the
message Spinout Detected Hazards
Activated will appear on the
instrument cluster.
Once the hazard warning flashers
have been activated, they can be
turned off by:
• pressing the hazard warning
flasher button.
• pressing the remote control unlock
button.
• pressing the remote control panic
button.
• cycling the ignition on and off
twice.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment. The term IC before the
radio certification number only signifies
that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters). Vehicles with the remote
start feature will have a greater range.
One of the following could cause a
decrease in operating range:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle The radio frequency used by your
remote control can also be used by
other short distance radio
transmissions, for example amateur
radios, medical equipment, wireless
headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems. If the frequencies are
jammed, you will not be able to use
your remote control. You can lock and
unlock the doors with the key.
Note:
Make sure to lock your vehicle
before leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote
control will operate if you press any
button unintentionally.
Intelligent Access
The system uses a radio frequency
signal to communicate with your
vehicle and authorize your vehicle to
unlock when one of the following
conditions are met:
• You touch the inside of the front
exterior door handle.
• You press the luggage
compartment button.
• You press a button on the
transmitter.
If excessive radio frequency
interference is present in the area or
if the transmitter battery is low, you
may need to mechanically unlock your
door. You can use the mechanical key
blade in your intelligent access key to
open the driver door in this situation.
See
Remote Control (page 54).

Keys and Remote Controls

REMOTE CONTROL
Intelligent Access Key
Your vehicle is equipped with two
intelligent access keys which operate
the power locks and the remote start
system. The key must be in the vehicle
to activate the push button start
system.
Removable Key Blade
The intelligent access key also
contains a removable mechanical key
blade that can be used to unlock the
driver door.
Slide the release on the back of the
remote control and pivot the cover off
to access the key blade. Note:
Your vehicle ’s backup keys were
issued with a security tag that provides
important vehicle key cut information.
Keep the tag in a safe place for future
reference.
Replacing the Battery
Note: Refer to local regulations when
disposing of transmitter batteries.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on
the battery terminals or on the back
surface of the circuit board.
Note: Replacing the battery will not
delete the transmitter from the vehicle.
The transmitter should operate
normally.
A message will appear in the
information display when the remote
control battery is low. See
Information Messages (page 105).
Intelligent Access Transmitter
The remote control uses two
coin-type three-volt lithium batteries
CR2025 or equivalent.

1.
Slide the release on the back of the
remote control and pivot the cover
off. 2.
Insert a coin into the slot and twist
to separate the housing. 3. Remove the batteries. 4. Install new batteries with the +

between the two batteries.
5. Reinstall the housing and cover.
Car Finder Press the button twice within
three seconds. The horn will
chirp and the turn signals will
flash. It is recommended that this
method be used to locate your
vehicle, rather than using the panic
alarm.
Sounding a Panic Alarm
Note: The panic alarm will only
operate when the ignition is off. Press the button to activate
the alarm. Press the button
again or turn the ignition on
to deactivate.
Remote Start WARNING
To avoid exhaust fumes, do not
use remote start if your vehicle
is parked indoors or areas that are not
well ventilated. Note:
Do not use remote start if your
vehicle is low on fuel. Your vehicle has remote start
if the transmitter has this
button.

The remote start feature allows you
to start the vehicle from outside the
vehicle. The transmitter has an
extended operating range.
Vehicles with automatic climate
control can be configured to operate
when the vehicle is remote started.
See Climate Control (page 126). A
manual climate control system will
run at the setting it was set to when
the vehicle was last turned off.
Many states and provinces have
restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or
provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding remote start
systems.
The remote start system will not work
if:
• the ignition is on
• the alarm system is triggered
• the feature has been disabled
• the hood is not closed
• two remote vehicle starts have
already been attempted within the
last hour
• the vehicle is not in
P
• the vehicle battery voltage is too
low
• the service engine soon light is on.

will not chirp. The tag with your transmitter details
the starting procedure. To remote
start the vehicle:
1.
Press the lock button to lock all the
doors.
2. Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash
