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.
The system warns you of obstacles within
a certain range of the bumper area.
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.
Rear Sensing System
The rear sensors are only active when you
move the transmission selector lever to
position R (reverse). As your vehicle moves
closer to the obstacle, the rate of the
audible warning increases. When the
obstacle is fewer than 12 inches (30
centimeters) away, the audible warning
sounds continuously. If a stationary or
receding object is detected farther than 12
inches (30 centimeters) from the side of
your vehicle, the audible warning sounds
for only three seconds. Once the system
detects an object approaching, the audible
warning sounds again. Coverage area of up to 72 inches
(183 centimeters) from the rear
bumper (with a decreased
coverage area at the outer
corners of the bumper).
A
The system detects certain objects when
you move the transmission selector lever
to position R (reverse):
• and your vehicle is moving toward a
stationary object at a speed of 3 mph
(5 km/h) or less
• but your vehicle is not moving, and a
moving object is approaching the rear
of your vehicle at a speed of 3 mph (5
km/h) or less
• and your vehicle is moving at a speed
of less than 3 mph (5 km/h) and a
moving object is approaching the rear
of your vehicle at a speed of less than
3 mph (5 km/h).
Move the transmission selector lever from
position
R (reverse) to turn the system off.
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information
display and does not allow you to switch
the system on.

speed. The system will not apply the
brakes. Change down a gear to assist the
system in maintaining the set speed.
Failure to do so could result in loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death. The cruise controls are located on the

TOWING A TRAILER - 1.6L
ECOBOOST™
WARNING
Your vehicle is not approved for
trailer towing.
TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
If you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a professional towing service or,
if you are a member of a roadside
assistance program, your roadside
assistance service provider. It is recommended that your vehicle be
towed with a wheel lift and dollies or
flatbed equipment. Do not tow with a
slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not
approved a slingbelt towing procedure. If
the vehicle is towed incorrectly, or by any
other means, vehicle damage may occur.
Ford Motor Company produces a towing
manual for all authorized tow truck
operators. Have your tow truck operator
refer to this manual for proper hook-up
and towing procedures for your vehicle.
You can tow your vehicle from the front
with wheel lift equipment to raise the front
wheels off the ground. We recommend
that you place the rear wheels on a dolly
to prevent damage to the rear of your
vehicle.
You can tow your vehicle from the rear with
wheel lift equipment.
Note:
You must place the front wheels on
a dolly to prevent damage to the
transmission.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON
FOUR WHEELS
Emergency Towing
If your vehicle is disabled without access
to wheel dollies, a car-hauling trailer, or a
flatbed transport vehicle it can be
flat-towed with all wheels on the ground.
You may do this under the following
conditions:
• Your vehicle is facing forward so that
it is towed in a forward direction.
• The transmission gear shift lever is
placed in position N. If the transmission
gear shift lever cannot be moved to
position
N, it may need to be
overridden. See Transmission (page

Recreational Towing
Note: Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering the vehicle.
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational (RV) towing. An example
of recreational towing would be towing
your vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are designed to ensure that your
transmission is not damaged.
Vehicles with a Manual Transmission
Your vehicle can be towed with all four
wheels on the ground or with the front
wheels off the ground by using a tow dolly.

an authorized dealer.
JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE WARNINGS
The gases around the battery can
explode if exposed to flames, sparks,
or lit cigarettes. An explosion could
result in personal injury or vehicle damage. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
can burn skin, eyes and clothing, if
contacted.
Use only an adequate-sized cable
with insulated clamps.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note:
Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start
capability. Attempting to push-start a
vehicle with an automatic transmission may
cause transmission damage.
Note: Use only a 12-volt supply to start your
vehicle. Note:
Do not disconnect the battery of the
disabled vehicle as this could damage the
vehicle's electrical system.
Park the booster vehicle close to the hood
of the disabled vehicle, making sure the
two vehicles do not touch. Turn all
accessories off.
Connecting the Jumper Cables WARNING
Do not attach the cables to fuel lines,
engine rocker covers, the intake
manifold or electrical components
as grounding points. Stay clear of moving
parts. To avoid reverse polarity
connections, make sure that you correctly
identify the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals on both the disabled and booster
vehicles before connecting the cables. Note:
In the illustration, the bottom vehicle
represents the booster vehicle.
