ADVANCETRAC® WITH
ROLL STABILITY CONTROL™ (RSC®)*
The system helps you keep control of your vehicle when on a slippery surface. The
electronic stability control portion of the system helps your vehicle avoid skids
and lateral slides. Roll stability control helps your vehicle avoid a vehicle rollover.
The traction control system helps your vehicle avoid drive wheel spin and a loss of
traction. Press the control to turn portions of the system off. Refer to your Stability
Control chapter in your Owner’s Manual for more details.
ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL*
With the system engaged, the rear axle
temporarily locks, allowing both rear
wheels to turn at the same speed. The
function helps to provide additional
traction on slippery or off-road surfaces.
TO SWITCH ON THE FEATURE
• In 4x4 vehicles with an electronic shift
4WD system, pull the 4WD control
knob toward you.
• In 2WD vehicles and vehicles equipped with a manual shift 4WD system,
switch the control knob from OFF to ON.
• The indicator light
appears in the information display when the
feature is active.
Note: Electronic locking differential should not be used on dry surfaces.
REAR VIEW
CAMERA SYSTEM*
Located on the tailgate, this camera
provides a video image of the area
behind the vehicle. During operation,
lines appear in the display that
represent your vehicle’s path and
proximity to objects behind the
vehicle. The display will automatically
appear in the navigation system
screen* or in the auto-dimming
interior mirror whenever the vehicle is
in reverse (R) and uses colors (green,
yellow and red) to alert you of your
proximity to objects.
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.
ONE-TOUCH UP OR DOWN (FRONT WINDOWS)*
This feature automatically opens or closes the window. Press or lift the switch
fully and release it. The window will open or close. Press or lift the switch again
to stop the window.
Note: The window motor may disable temporarily if passengers cycle the
windows up and down repeatedly. This helps prevent damage to the motor.
Normal operation will resume once the motor cools.
FUNCTION
REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM*
The system is only active when the transmission is in reverse (R), it warns the
driver of obstacles within a certain range of the rear bumper area. It sounds
a warning tone if there is an object behind the vehicle. The tone will sound
continuously when the object is less than 12 inches (30 centimeters) away.
The system is not effective when the vehicle is traveling above 3 mph
(5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects.
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.
FUEL-EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION*
Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing
fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a light
to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
SOS POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM™
The SOS Post-Crash Alert System provides audible and visual alarms in the
event of a crash which causes the deployment of airbags or the activation
of the safety belt pretensioners. The turn signals will flash and the horn will
sound. To deactivate the system, press the hazard flasher control, or you
can press the panic alarm on your remote transmitter.

DIESEL FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Ford recommends that you use only the diesel fuels that meet either the ASTM
D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry specifications. Outside
of North America, use fuels meeting EN590 or equivalent local market standard.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for colder temperatures. For best results at
temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel fuel that has
been seasonally adjusted for the weather.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM
The system helps reduce carbon emissions, and requires the completion of periodic
drives to clean it. The information display will prompt you to complete an operator-
commanded regeneration procedure. Failure to comply with the required cleaning
procedure maintenance can result in damage to the diesel particulate filter system
that may not be covered under your warranty. See your Diesel Supplement for
more information.
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
1918*IF EQUIPPED*IF EQUIPPED
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID LEVEL
To help reduce emission levels from the exhaust of the diesel engine, your vehicle
is equipped with a selective catalytic reduction system that relies upon diesel
exhaust fluid to operate properly. The selective catalytic reduction system
automatically injects diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust system to enable proper
selective catalytic reduction system function. Make sure that you check your
vehicle’s diesel exhaust fluid level during the oil change service interval, but certain
conditions or driving styles, such as trailer towing or fast rates of acceleration, will
require the refilling of the diesel exhaust fluid tank more often. See the scheduled
maintenance information in your Diesel Supplement for more information.
FUEL TYPE/TANK CAPACITY/FLEX FUEL*
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank size varies based on body style
and/or engine configuration. Refer to the Capacities and Specifications section
in your Owner’s Manual for more details.
Flex fuel vehicles have a yellow ring around the top of the fuel filler inlet (tube)
and can use either regular unleaded fuel or E85 ethanol fuel.
It is best not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and E85. If you do switch
fuels, it is recommended that you add as much fuel as possible—at least half a
tank. Do not add less than 5 gallons (18.9 liters) when refueling. You should drive
the vehicle immediately after refueling for at least 5 miles (8 km) to allow the
vehicle to adapt to the change in ethanol concentration. If you exclusively use
E85 fuel, it is recommended to fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline
at each scheduled oil change.
If you do not have a flex fuel vehicle, then only use “Regular” unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating of 87. Do not use E85 fuels, because your vehicle was not
designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR FEATURE
In the event that the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, apply
steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle and reduce
engine power. See your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
DIESEL ENGINE
BRAKING FEATURE*
In diesel-equipped vehicles, you can
use this feature along with the
Tow/Haul mode. When active, the
engine braking feature helps to increase
engine braking at higher engine speeds,
providing better grade descent control
with less brake and transmission wear
and tear. Press
on the instrument
panel to switch the system on and off.
ADDITIONAL TRAILER TOWING FEATURES*
For more details, see the Towing section of your Owner’s Manual.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle has been equipped with a system that displays a low tire pressure
warning light 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 Wheels and Tires chapter in your Owner’s Manual
for more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS*
If your vehicle is equipped with a spare tire, jack and associated tools, refer to the
following table for their locations:
Tool Location
Spare tire (pick-up trucks only) Under the vehicle, just forward of the
rear bumper.
