may access or share among them data for vehicle improvement purposes.
For U.S. only (if equipped), if you choose to use the SYNC® Vehicle
Health Report, you consent that certain diagnostic information may also
be accessed electronically by Ford Motor Company and Ford authorized
service facilities, and that the diagnostic information may be used for any
purpose. See theSYNC®chapter for more information.
Event Data Recording
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle; this data will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
•Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
•How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator
and/or the brake pedal;
•How fast the vehicle was travelling;
•Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.
This data can help provide a better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
Note: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data or information
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded (see
limitations regarding 911 Assist and Traffic, Directions and
Information privacy below). However, parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have such special equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. Ford Motor Company

Easy Entry and Exit Feature
When you switch the ignition off, the steering column will move to the

column will return to the previous setting when you switch the ignition
on. You can enable or disable this feature in the information display. See

You can save and recall the steering column position with the memory
function. Refer to theSeatschapter.
Pressing the adjustment control during memory recall cancels the
operation. The column responds to the adjustment control.
The steering column sets a stopping position just short of the end of the
column position to prevent damage to the steering column. A new
stopping position sets if the steering column encounters an object when
tilting or telescoping.
To reset the steering column to its normal stopping position:
1. Press the steering column control again after encountering the new
stopping position.
2. Continue pressing the control until it reaches the end of the column
position.
A new stopping position is set. The next time you tilt or telescope the
steering column, it will stop just short of the end of the column position.
