Heated and Ventilated Seats Air
Filter Replacement (If Equipped)
The heated and ventilated seat system
includes air filters. You must replace them
periodically.
The filter is located under each front seat.
Access the filter from the second row
foot-well area. Move the front seats all the
way to the full front and full up positions
to ease access. To remove a filter:
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Push up on the outside rigid edge of
the filter until the tabs are released,
then remove the filter. To install a filter:
1. First, position the filter in its housing
making sure that the far forward end
is all the way up in the housing. 2. Push in on the center of the outside
edge of the filter and rotate clockwise
into the housing until it clips into
position.
FRONT SEAT ARMREST
(IF
EQUIPPED) Press the release control to move the front
seat armrest up or down.
Pull out the optional drawer at the bottom
of the center seat to access the cup
holders.
Lift the latch to open the lid and gain
access to the optional storage
compartment under the center seat
cushion.

BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating range;
there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid
levels are outside of the normal operating
range, the performance of the system
could be compromised; seek service from
your authorized dealer immediately.
POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK
3.5L, 3.7L and 5.0L Engines
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric
power steering (EPS) system. There is no
fluid reservoir to check or fill.
6.2L Engines
Check the power steering fluid. Refer to
See Scheduled Maintenance (page 438).
1. Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature
(the engine coolant temperature gauge
indicator will be near the center of the
normal area between
H and C).
2. While the engine idles, turn the steering
wheel left and right several times.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. It should be between the MIN and MAX
lines. Do not add fluid if the level is in
this range.
5. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking the
level until it reaches the range between
the MIN and MAX lines. For the proper
fluid type, See
Capacities and
Specifications (page 296).
6. Put the cap back on the reservoir. WASHER FLUID CHECK WARNING
If you operate your vehicle in
temperatures below 40°F (5°C), use
washer fluid with antifreeze
protection. Failure to use washer fluid with
antifreeze protection in cold weather could
result in impaired windshield vision and
increase the risk of injury or accident. Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is
low. Only use a washer fluid that meets
Ford specifications. See
Capacities and
Specifications (page 296).
State or local regulations on volatile
organic compounds may restrict the use
of methanol, a common windshield washer
antifreeze additive. Washer fluids
containing non-methanol antifreeze
agents should be used only if they provide
cold weather protection without damaging
the vehicle ’s paint finish, wiper blades or
washer system.
FUEL FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime
fuel filter that is integrated with the fuel
tank. Regular maintenance or replacement
is not needed.
CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY WARNINGS
Batteries normally produce explosive
gases that can cause personal injury.
Therefore, do not allow flames,
sparks or lighted substances to come near
the battery. When working near the
battery, always shield your face and
protect your eyes. Always provide proper
ventilation.

CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER - 3.5L ECOBOOST™
WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
and personal burn injuries, do not
start your engine with the air cleaner
removed and do not remove it while the
engine is running. Note:
Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. The customer warranty may be
void for any damage to the engine if the
correct air filter element is not used.
Note: For EcoBoost equipped vehicles:
When servicing the air cleaner, it is
important that no foreign material enter the
air induction system. The engine and
turbocharger are susceptible to damage
from even small particles.
When changing the air filter element, use
only the air filter element listed. See
Capacities and Specifications (page
296).
Change the air filter element at the proper
interval.
See Scheduled Maintenance
(page 438). 1.
Locate the sensor electrical connector
on the air outlet tube (1). This
connector will need to be unplugged. 2. Pull up to disconnect wiring harness
(2).
3. Disconnect the sensor by pressing the retaining tab and pulling back on the
lead. 4. Clean the area around the air tube to
air cover connection to prevent debris
from entering the system, and then
loosen the bolt on the air tube clamp
so the clamp is no longer snug to the
air tube. It is not necessary to
completely remove the clamp.
5. Pull the air tube off from the air cleaner
housing.
6. Release the clamps that secure the cover to the air filter housing. Push the
air filter cover toward the center of the
vehicle and up slightly to release it.
7. Remove the air filter element from the
air filter housing.
8. Install a new air filter element.
9. Replace the air filter housing cover and
secure the clamps. Be careful not to
crimp the filter element edges between
the air filter housing and cover and
ensure that the tabs on the edge are
properly aligned into the slots.
10. Slip the air tube onto the air filter housing and tighten the air-tube
clamp bolt snugly, but do not
overtighten it.
