DATA RECORDING
Service Data Recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and
storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may
access or share among them vehicle diagnostic information received
through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing
your vehicle. Additionally, when your vehicle is in for service or repair,

•Regen Display-Acirculararrowsymbol appears in the center
of the Battery Gauge when energy is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system.
Brake Coach Display:The Brake Coach appears after the vehicle has
come to a stop. It coaches you to brake in a manner which maximizes
the amount of energy returned through the regenerative braking system.
The percent displayed is an indication of the regenerative braking
efficiency with 100% representing the maximum amount of energy
recovery. If desired, this feature can be disabled in the Display section
of the Settings menu.
Trip Summary and Lifetime Summary:These will be displayed upon
shutting off the vehicle. Trip Summary will appear first, then Lifetime
Summary will be displayed. You can toggle between these displays using
the up and down arrow keys on the left hand steering wheel controls.
Trip Summary data is from the last power cycle, while Lifetime Summary
data is cumulative from the last Lifetime Summary reset done through
the Settings menu in the message center.
Trip Summary:
•Distance - The total distance travelled, and regen distance are
displayed. Regen distance is the estimated range gained from energy
recaptured through regenerative braking.
•Energy Used - The total kilowatt hours and average watt hours per
unit of distance are displayed. The average watt hours per mi (km)
will be shown in blue if less than (better than) the lifetime average
watt hours per mi (km).
•Brake Score - The percentage of braking energy recaptured and
returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking.
The brake score will be shown in blue if greater than (better than)
the lifetime brake score.
Lifetime Summary:
•Distance - The total regen distance, which is the estimated range
gained from energy recaptured through regenerative braking.
•Energy Used - The average watt hours per mi (km).
•Brake Score - The average percentage of braking energy recaptured
and returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Note:Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous
grinding or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be
worn out. Have them inspected by an authorized dealer. If your vehicle
has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking,
have your vehicle inspected by an authorized dealer.
Note:Brake dust may accumulate on the wheels, even under normal
driving conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the brakes wear and does
not contribute to brake noise. See theVehicle Carechapter for wheel
cleaning instructions.
See theInstrument Clusterchapter for information on the
brake system warning light.
Wet brakes result in reduced braking efficiency. Gently press the brake
pedal a few times when driving from a car wash or standing water to dry
the brakes.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, apply
steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle and
reduce motor power. If you experience this condition, apply the brakes
and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Turn the motor off, shift to position
Pand apply the parking brake, then inspect the accelerator pedal for any
interferences. If none are found and the condition persists, have your
vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer.
Brake Assist
Brake assist detects when you brake heavily by measuring the rate at
which you press the brake pedal. It provides maximum braking efficiency
as long as you press the pedal. Brake assist can reduce stopping
distances in critical situations.
Anti-Lock Brake System
This system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops
by keeping the brakes from locking.
This lamp momentarily illuminates when you turn the ignition
on. If the light does not illuminate during start-up, remains on
or flashes, the anti-lock brake system may be disabled and may
need to be serviced.

STEERING
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•an improperly inflated tire
•uneven tire wear
•loose or worn suspension components
•loose or worn steering components
•improper vehicle alignment
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering
seem to wander/pull.
Electric Power Steering
WARNING:The electric power steering system has diagnostic
checks that continuously monitor the system to ensure proper
operation. When a system error is detected a steering message will
appear in the information display.
WARNING:The electric power steering system has diagnostic
checks that continuously monitor the system to ensure proper
operation of the electronic system. When an electronic error is detected,
a message will be displayed in the information display. If this happens,
stop the vehicle in a safe place, and turn off the vehicle. After at least
10 seconds, reset the system by restarting the vehicle, and watch the
information display for a steering message. If a steering message returns,
or returns while driving, take the vehicle to your dealer to have it
checked.
WARNING:Obtain immediate service if a system error is
detected. You may not notice any difference in the feel of your
steering, but a serious condition may exist. Failure to do so may result
in loss of steering control.

Your vehicle is equipped with an electric power-assisted steering system.
There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill.
If your vehicle loses electrical power while you are driving (or if the
ignition is turned off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more
effort. Extreme continuous steering may increase the effort it takes for
you to steer. This occurs to prevent internal overheating and permanent
damage to your steering system. If this should occur, you will neither lose
the ability to steer the vehicle manually nor will it cause permanent
damage. Typical steering and driving maneuvers will allow the system to
cool and steering assist will return to normal.
When a steering system error is detected, steering messages may appear
in the information display.
