Easy Fuel
™ Capless System
(Energi Vehicles Only) WARNING
The fuel system may be under
pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
near the fuel filler door, do not refuel
until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, which could cause serious
personal injury. Note:
Your vehicle features a locking fuel
door and an auto-sealing feature that locks
the fuel tank refueling valve. Before you can
refuel your vehicle, you must first press the
button located on the center console.
Pressing this button will unlock the fuel tank
refueling valve allowing the fuel filler door
to open so that you can insert the fuel filler
nozzle into the fuel inlet. This could take up
to fifteen seconds before the fuel filler door
pops open allowing the insertion of the fuel
filler nozzle.
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Put the vehicle in park (P) and switch the ignition off.
2. Press the fuel button located on the center console. 3. Wait up to fifteen seconds before
opening the fuel filler door. During this
time, a Fuel Door Opening message
will appear in the information display
screen.
4. When the door is open, a
Fuel Door
Open message will appear in the
information display, indicating that
your vehicle is ready to refuel. The
vehicle will remain ready to refuel for
approximately 20 minutes. If more than
20 minutes is required, you will need to
press the refueling button again. You
may experience the fuel pump turning
off if you do not press the refuel button
again.
5. Open the fuel filler door. 6. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully
into the fuel system and leave the
nozzle fully inserted until pumping is
complete. Hold the handle higher while
inserting for easier access.

7. After pumping fuel, slowly remove the
fuel filler nozzle. Allow approximately
five to ten seconds after pumping fuel
before removing the fuel filler nozzle.
This allows residual fuel to drain back
into the fuel tank and not spill onto the
vehicle.
8. Close the fuel door fully until it clicks shut. This permits the fuel system to
properly function.
Note: A fuel spill concern may occur if the
fuel tank overfills. Do not overfill the tank
to the point that the fuel is able to bypass
the fuel filler nozzle. The overfilled fuel may
run down the drain located below and in
front of the fuel filler door.
If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed,
a service engine warning lamp may appear
on the instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in park (P) and switch the ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel fill
opening.
4. Insert the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill funnel, provided with the vehicle,
several times to dislodge any debris
and allow the inlet to close properly. If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately. It
may take several driving cycles for the
message to turn off. A driving cycle
consists of an engine start-up (after four
or more hours with the engine off) followed
by city or highway driving. Continuing to
drive with the message on may cause the
service engine soon lamp to turn on as
well.
Using the manual override lever
WARNING
The fuel system may be under
pressure. Insert the fuel nozzle
slowly. If you hear a hissing sound
near the fuel filler door, do not refuel until
the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, which could cause serious personal
injury. Note:
The vehicle must be in park (P) when
using the manual override feature.
The manual override lever is located inside
of the luggage compartment on the right
rear side panel.
When using the fuel door manual override
to access the fuel fill inlet:
1. Switch the ignition on prior to using the
manual override.
2. Remove the panel located in luggage compartment on the right rear area of
the vehicle hatch.

3. Locate the manual override
mechanism. 4. Pull the manual override mechanism.
5. Key off and complete refueling within
20 minutes. If more than 20 minutes is
required, close fuel door and repeat the
procedure.
This will enable you to refuel without any
issue. Note:
A fuel spill concern may occur if the
fuel tank overfills. Do not overfill the tank
to the point that the fuel is able to bypass
the fuel filler nozzle. The overfilled fuel may
run down the drain located below and in
front of the fuel filler door.
If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed,
a service engine warning lamp may appear
on the instrument cluster. At the next
opportunity, do the following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in park (P) and turn the
ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel fill
opening.
4. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill funnel provided with the vehicle
several times to allow the inlet to close
properly. This will dislodge any debris
preventing the inlet from sealing.
If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately. It
may take several driving cycles for the
message to turn off. A driving cycle
consists of an engine start-up (after four
or more hours with the engine off) followed
by city and highway driving. Continuing to
drive with the message on may cause the
service engine soon lamp to turn on as
well.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note: The amount of usable fuel in the
empty reserve varies and should not be
relied upon to increase driving range. When
refueling your vehicle after the fuel gauge
indicates empty, you might not be able to
refuel the full amount of the advertised
capacity of the fuel tank due to the empty
reserve still present in the tank.

Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme
climates should use prediluted coolant
meeting the Ford specification for
optimum cooling system and engine
protection.
What You Should Know About Fail-
Safe Cooling
If the engine coolant supply is depleted,
this feature allows the vehicle to be driven
temporarily before incremental component
damage is incurred. The
“fail-safe”
distance depends on ambient
temperatures, vehicle load and terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat, the engine
coolant temperature gauge will move to
the red (hot) area and: The coolant temperature
warning light will illuminate.
The service engine soon
indicator will illuminate.
If the engine reaches a preset
over-temperature condition, the engine
will automatically switch to alternating
cylinder operation. Each disabled cylinder
acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs the vehicle will still
operate. However:
• The engine power will be limited.
• The air conditioning system will be
disabled.
Continued operation will increase the
engine temperature and the engine will
completely shut down, causing steering
and braking effort to increase.
Once the engine temperature cools, the
engine can be re-started. Take your vehicle
to an authorized dealer as soon as possible
to minimize engine damage. When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated WARNINGS
Fail-safe mode is for use during
emergencies only. Operate your
vehicle in fail-safe mode only as long
as necessary to bring your vehicle to rest
in a safe location and seek immediate
repairs. When in fail-safe mode, your
vehicle will have limited power, will not be
able to maintain high-speed operation, and
may completely shut down without
warning, potentially losing engine power,
power steering assist, and power brake
assist, which may increase the possibility
of a crash resulting in serious injury. Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap while the engine is running or hot.
Note:
Driving the vehicle without repairing
the engine problem increases the chance of
engine damage. Take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
You have limited engine power when in the
fail-safe mode, so drive the vehicle with
caution. The vehicle will not be able to
maintain high-speed operation and the
engine will run rough. Remember that the
engine is capable of completely shutting
down automatically to prevent engine
damage, therefore:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and turn off the engine.
2. Arrange for the vehicle to be taken to an authorized dealer.
3. If this is not possible, wait a short period for the engine to cool.
4. Check the coolant level and replenish if low.
5. Re-start the engine and take your vehicle to an authorized dealer.

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 complete stop,
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 273). Reset the power
windows bounce-back feature. See
Windows and Mirrors
(page 76).
Reset the radio station presets. See
Audio System
(page 273).
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.
Note: It is recommended that the negative
battery cable terminal be disconnected from
the battery if you plan to store your vehicle
for an extended period of time.
CHECKING THE WIPER
BLADES Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of
the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid
or water applied with a soft sponge or
cloth.
CHANGING THE WIPER
BLADES
Note:
Use the service position in winter to
provide easier access to the front wiper
blades for freeing them from snow and ice.
The front wipers will not return to their
normal position as soon as you switch on
the ignition. The front wipers will stay in the
service position when you switch the ignition
on or start the engine. Switch on the front
wipers to any mode, then switch off the
front wipers to bring the front wipers back
to the park position.
