REAR VIEW CAMERA*The feature provides a video image of
the area behind the vehicle. The image
automatically appears in the touchscreen
when the vehicle is in reverse (R) and
operates at speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The system uses green, yellow and red
guides to alert you of your proximity
to objects.
ADAPTIVE STEERING* The adaptive steering system optimizes
your vehicle’s steering based on your
steering wheel input, changes in vehicle
speed and other conditions. You can change
the settings in the information display. Refer
to your Owner’s Manual for more details.
Note: The adaptive steering system includes
a locking device that may make a sound

BLIS® (BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM)
WITH CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT*
BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that
may have entered into your blind spot area
on both sides of the vehicle, extending
rearward from the exterior mirrors to
approximately 10 feet (3 meters) beyond
the bumper. Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the
transmission is in reverse (R). It detects
approaching vehicles from approximately
46 feet (14 meters) away.
The Blind Spot Information and cross traffic
alert systems illuminate a yellow alert
indicator in the outside mirror on the side
of your vehicle the approaching vehicle is
coming from. In addition, the yellow alert
indicator flashes if the direction indicator
is ON when a Blind Spot Warning System
alert is active.
Note: The alert indicator dims when the
system detects nighttime darkness.
Cross traffic alert also sounds a series
of tones and a message appears in the
information display indicating a vehicle is
coming from the right or left.
NEVER use
BLIS or cross traffic alert as a replacement
for using the interior and exterior mirrors and
looking over your shoulder before changing
lanes. The systems are not replacements
for careful driving. Use both systems only
as an assist.

FUNCTION
1617
FRONT AND REAR PARKING AIDS*
The front sensors are active when the
transmission is in any position other than park (P). When your vehicle approaches an object, a warning tone sounds. When your vehicle moves closer to an object, the warning tone repeat rate increases.
The rear sensors are only active when the transmission is in reverse (R). As your vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the audible warning increases.

Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety information, more details and limitations.
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM*This system notifies you to stay in your
lane through the steering system and the
instrument cluster display when the front
camera detects an unintentional drift out of
your lane is likely to occur.
Select from three notification modes within
your information display:
Alert: Provides a steering wheel vibration.
Aid: Provides an assistance steering torque
input toward the lane center.
Alert + Aid: Provides an assistance steering
torque input toward the lane center. If your
vehicle continues drifting out of the lane,
the system provides a steering
wheel vibration.
Press the
button located on the left
steering wheel lever to switch the system
ON or OFF.
DRIVER ALERT* The system automatically
monitors your driving behavior
using various inputs including
the front camera sensor. If the
system detects that your driving alertness
is reduced below a certain threshold, the
system will alert you using a tone and a
message in the cluster display. Switch the system on or off using the
information display. When activated, the
system monitors your alertness level based
upon your driving behavior in relation to the
lane markings and other factors.
See the Driving Aids chapter in your
Owner’s Manual for more information.
TILTING HEAD RESTRAINTS* The front head restraints tilt for extra
comfort. To tilt the head restraint, do
the following:
1.
Adjust the seatback to an upright driving
or riding position.
2. Pivot the head restraint forward toward
your head to the desired position.
After the head restraint
reaches the forward-
most tilt position,
pivoting it forward
again releases it to
the rearward,
un-tilted position.

EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
When Fueling Your Vehicle
1. Put the vehicle in park (P) and switch
off the ignition.
2. Press the center-rear edge of the fuel
filler door and release to open.
3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully
into the fuel system to open both doors.
Leave the nozzle fully inserted until
you have stopped pumping fuel. Allow
about 5-10 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.
4. Slowly remove the fuel filler nozzle and
close the fuel filler door.
REFUELING WITH A PORTABLE
FUEL CONTAINER
When using a portable fuel container,
slowly insert the fuel funnel (located in
the spare wheel storage tray) and pour
the fuel into the funnel. When done, clean
the funnel or properly dispose of it. You
can purchase extra funnels from your
authorized dealer. Do not use aftermarket
funnels as they do not work with the Easy
Fuel system and may cause damage.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY
AND FUEL INFO
Depending on your drive type, your vehicle’s
fuel tank capacity can vary. All-wheel drive
vehicles have an 18.5 gallon (70.0L) fuel
tank capacity. Front-wheel drive vehicles
have an 18.4 gallon (69.5L) fuel tank
capacity. Use only “Regular” unleaded
gasoline with a minimum octane rating of
87 or higher. Do not use E85 fuels because
your vehicle was not designed to run on
fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
MYKEY®
MyKey allows you to program certain
driving restrictions in order to promote
good driving habits. You can program
things like speed restrictions, limited volume levels and safety belt reminders.
For complete information, refer to the
MyKey chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
AUTO-START-STOP* The system helps reduce fuel consumption
by automatically shutting off and restarting
the engine when your vehicle is stopped.
The engine restarts automatically when
you release the brake pedal.
To switch this feature off, press the

auto-start-stop button on the center
console. The button lights. Press the button
again to restart, or restart the vehicle. See
the Unique Driving Characteristics chapter
in your Owner’s Manual for more details.
CONFIGURABLE DAYTIME
RUNNING LAMPS*
When you switch the feature on in the
information display, daytime running lamps
turn on when you are driving, the lighting
control is in the autolamps position
and the headlamps are off.
You can switch the Configurable Daytime
Running Lamps feature ON or OFF using
the information display controls. See the
Lighting chapter in your Owner’s Manual
for complete information.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM Your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system that lights a low
tire pressure warning light in your instrument cluster when one
or more of your tires are significantly under-inflated. If this happens,
stop and check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate them to the
proper pressure.
Refer to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System section in the
Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS Your spare tire and tools are beneath the carpeted floor panel in
the rear of your vehicle. The spare tire is designed for emergency
use only and should be replaced as soon as possible. For complete
details on changing your tire, refer to the Changing a Road Wheel
section in the Wheels and Tires chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
OPEN WINDOW BUFFETING You may hear a pulsing noise when just one of the windows is
open. Lower the opposite window slightly to reduce this noise.
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE Your new Ford vehicle comes with the assurance and support of
24-hour emergency roadside assistance.
To receive roadside assistance in the United States, call
1-800-241-3673. In Canada, call 1-800-665-2006.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST SYSTEM* This system alerts you of certain collision risks. The system’s
sensor detects your vehicle’s rapid approach to other vehicles
traveling in the same direction as your vehicle.
When your vehicle rapidly approaches another vehicle, a red
warning light flashes and a tone sounds. The brake support
system assists you in reducing any collision speed by
pre-charging the brakes. If the risk of collision continues to
increases after the audio-visual warning, the brake support
prepares the brake system for rapid braking. The system does
not automatically activate the brakes, but if the brake pedal
is pressed even lightly, the brakes apply full stopping power.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may
be limited. Refer to Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels
in the Towing chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
