HomeLink Wireless Control
System (If Equipped)
WARNING
Do not use the system with any
garage door opener that does
not have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal
Safety Standards (this includes any
garage door opener manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.
Note: Make sure that the garage door
and security device are free from
obstruction when you are
programming. Do not program the
system with the vehicle in the garage.
Note: Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
system programming.
Note: We recommend that upon the
sale or lease termination of your
vehicle, you erase the programmed
function buttons for security reasons.
See Erasing the function button codes
later in this section.
Note: You can program a maximum
of three devices. To change or replace
any of the three devices after it has
been initially programmed, you must
first erase the current settings. See
Erasing the function button codes later
in this section.

The universal garage door opener
replaces the common hand-held
garage door opener with a
three-button transmitter that is
integrated into the driver’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary
features, a garage door opener and a
platform for remote activation of
devices within the home. As well as
being programmed for garage doors,
the system transmitter can be
programmed to operate entry gate
operators, security systems, entry
door locks and home or office lighting.
Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com
or by calling the toll-free help line on
1-800-355-3515.
In-vehicle programming
This process is to program your
hand-held transmitter and your
in-vehicle HomeLink button.
Note: Put a new battery in the
hand-held transmitter. This will ensure
quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency
signal.

1. With your vehicle parked outsideof the garage, turn your ignition to
the on position, but do not start
your vehicle.
2. Hold your hand-held garage door transmitter 1–3 inches (2–8
centimeters) away from the
HomeLink button you want to
program.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously, press and hold the desired
HomeLink button and the
hand-held transmitter button. DO
NOT release either one until the
HomeLink indicator light flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The
rapid flashing indicates successful
training.
4. Press and hold the HomeLink button you programmed for five
seconds, then release. You may
need to do this twice to activate
the door. If your garage door does
not operate, watch the HomeLink
indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on, the
programming is complete. See
Programming your garage door
motor later in this section. If the indicator light flashes rapidly for
2 seconds and then turns to a
constant light, the HomeLink button
is not programmed yet. Do the
following:
Press and hold the HomeLink button
while you press and release the
hand-held transmitter button every 2
seconds. The HomeLink indicator light
will flash slowly and then rapidly once
the HomeLink function button
recognizes and accepts the hand-held
transmitter’s radio frequency signal.
After programming the HomeLink
button, begin programming your
garage door opener motor.
Note:
You may need a ladder to reach
the unit and you may need to remove
the cover or lamp lens on your garage
door opener.

Universal Garage Door Opener

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine
speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and
exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire or other damage.
Do not park, idle or drive your
vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire.
Do not start the engine in a
closed garage or in other
enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can
be toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle
if you smell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for
approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers)
after you reconnect it. This is because
the engine management system must
realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets
all Canadian interference-causing
equipment standard requirements
regulating the impulse electrical field
or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid
pressing the accelerator pedal before
and during operation. Only use the
accelerator pedal when you have
difficulty starting the engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
Note:
The keyless starting system may
not function if the key is close to metal
objects or electronic devices such as
cellular phones.
Note: A valid key must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition
on and start the engine.

PARKING AID (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury,
please read and understand the
limitations of the system as contained
in this section. Sensing is only an aid
for some (generally large and fixed)
objects when moving in reverse on a
flat surface at parking speeds. Traffic
control systems, inclement weather,
air brakes, and external motors and
fans may also affect the function of
the sensing system; this may include
reduced performance or a false
activation.
To help avoid personal injury,
always use caution when in R
(Reverse) and when using the sensing
system.
This system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or
moving objects. The system is
designed to provide a warning to
assist the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to avoid damaging
the vehicle. The system may not
detect smaller objects, particularly
those close to the ground.
Certain add-on devices such as
large trailer hitches, bike or
surfboard racks and any device that
may block the normal detection zone
of the system, may create false beeps.
Note: Keep the sensors, located on the
bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. If the
sensors are covered, the system’s
accuracy can be affected. Do not clean
the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
to the bumper or fascia, leaving it
misaligned or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered causing inaccurate
measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
MyKey®, it is possible to prevent
turning the sensing system off. See
MyKey™ (page 57).
The sensing system warns the driver
of obstacles within a certain range of
the bumper area. The system turns on
automatically whenever the ignition
is switched on.
When receiving a detection warning,
the radio volume is reduced to a
predetermined level. After the warning
goes away, the radio volume returns
to the previous level.
The system can be switched off
through the information display menu
or from the pop-up message that
appears once the transmission is
shifted into R. See General
Information (page 101).
If a fault is present in the system, a
warning message appears in the
information display and does not
allow the driver to switch the faulted
system on. See Information
Messages (page 106).

A
Coverage area of up to 27
inches (70 centimeters) from
the front of the vehicle and
about 6–14 inches (15–35
centimeters) to the side of
the front end of the vehicle.
Refer to the reverse sensing
section for details on
coverage area.
A
The system sounds an audible
warning when obstacles are near
either bumper in the following
manner:
• Objects detected by the front sensors are indicated by a
high-pitched tone from the front
radio speakers.
• Objects detected by the rear sensors are indicated by a lower
pitched tone from the rear radio
speakers. • The sensing system reports the
obstacle which is closest to the
front or rear of the vehicle. For
example, if an obstacle is 24
inches (60 centimeters) from the
front of the vehicle and, at the
same time, an obstacle is only 16
inches (40 centimeters) from the
rear of the vehicle, the lower
pitched tone sounds.
• An alternating warning sounds from the front and rear if there are
objects at both bumpers that are
closer than 10 inches (25
centimeters).
For specific information on the reverse
sensing portion of the system, refer to
that section.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNING
This system is designed to be a
supplementary park aid. It may
not work in all conditions and is not
intended to replace the driver’s
attention and judgment. The driver is
responsible for avoiding hazards and
maintaining a safe distance and
speed, even when the system is in use.
Note: The driver is always responsible
for controlling the vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening if required.
Note: The sensors may not detect
objects in heavy rain or other conditions
that cause disruptive reflections.

Rear Camera Delay
When shifting the transmission out of
R (Reverse) and into any gear other
than P (Park), the camera image
remains in the display until the vehicle
speed reaches 5 mph (8 km/h). This
occurs when the rear camera delay
feature is on, or until a radio button is
selected.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ON and OFF. The default setting for
the rear camera delay is OFF.197

If you see any corrosion on the battery
or terminals, remove the cables from
the terminals and clean with a wire
brush. You can neutralize the acid with
a solution of baking soda and water.
When a battery replacement is
required, the battery should only be
replaced with a Ford recommended
replacement battery that matches
the electrical requirements of the
vehicle.
Because your vehicle’s engine is
electronically-controlled by a
computer, some engine control
settings are maintained by power
from the low voltage battery. Some
engine computer settings, like the idle
trim and fuel trim strategy, optimize
the driveability and performance of
the engine. Some other computer
settings, like the clock and radio
station presets, are also maintained
in memory by power from the low
voltage battery. When a technician
disconnects and connects the low
voltage battery, these settings are
erased. Complete the following
procedure in order to restore the
settings:
1. With the vehicle at a completestop, set the parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission into P.
3. Turn off all accessories.
4. Step on the brake pedal and start the vehicle. 5. Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature.
While the engine is warming up,
complete the following: Reset the
clock. See Audio System (page
124). Reset the power windows
bounce-back feature. See
Windows and Mirrors (page 88).
Reset the radio station presets.
See Audio System (page 124).
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute. If the engine turns off,
step on the accelerator to start the
engine.
7. While the engine is running, step on the brake pedal and shift the
transmission to N.
8. Allow the engine to run for at least one minute by pressing on the
accelerator pedal.
9. Drive the vehicle at least 10 miles (16 kilometers) to completely
relearn the idle and fuel trim
strategy.
Note: If you do not allow the engine to
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy,
the idle quality of your vehicle may be
adversely affected until the engine
computer eventually relearns the idle
trim and fuel trim strategy.
Note: Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized standards
for disposal. Call your local authorized
recycling center to find out more about
recycling automotive batteries.
