GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note: Changes or modifications not
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
The term IC before the radio certification
number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 feet (10
meters). Vehicles with the remote start
feature will have a greater range. One of
the following could cause a decrease in
operating range:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers •
structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle
The radio frequency used by your remote
control can also be used by other short
distance radio transmissions, for example
amateur radios, medical equipment,
wireless headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems. If the frequencies are
jammed, you will not be able to use your
remote control. You can lock and unlock
the doors with the key.
Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally.

If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so and switch the
engine off. Determine the cause once the
engine has cooled down. See Engine
Coolant Check (page 206).
Note: Do not restart the engine until the
cause of overheating has been determined
and resolved.
Tripmeter Reset and Distance to
Empty
(If Equipped)
Press the button to change between the
tripmeter and distance to empty
information. Press and hold the button to
reset the tripmeter.
Fuel Gauge
Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is
in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the
fuel pump symbol indicates on which side
of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located. The needle should move toward F when
you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points
to E after adding fuel, this indicates your
vehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal:
•
It may take a short time for the needle
to reach F after leaving the gas station.
This is normal and depends upon the
slope of pavement at the gas station.
• The fuel amount dispensed into the
tank is a little less or more than the
gauge indicated. This is normal and
depends upon the slope of pavement
at the gas station.
• If the gas station nozzle shuts off
before the tank is full, try a different
gas pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel
gauge needle is at 1/16th.

WARNINGS
Apply the parking brake, shift the
gearshift lever to park (P) and switch
the ignition off before leaving your
vehicle. Make sure that the gearshift lever
fully latches into position. When the gearshift lever is in this position,
it will lock the transmission. The engine
does not transmit power to the driven
wheels. You can start the engine with the
gearshift lever in this position.
Note:
A warning tone will sound if you open
the driver door and you have not shifted the
gearshift lever to park (P).
Reverse (R) WARNINGS
Do not shift the gearshift lever to
reverse (R) when your vehicle is
moving. This can cause damage to
the transmission not covered by the vehicle
warranty, and can result in a crash or
serious injury. Always come to a complete stop
before shifting the gearshift lever out
of reverse (R).
Shift the gearshift lever to reverse (R) to
allow your vehicle to move backward.
Neutral (N)
When the gearshift lever is in this position,
the transmission does not lock. The engine
does not transmit power to the driven
wheels. You can start the engine with the
gearshift lever in this position.
Drive (D)
Shift the gearshift lever to drive (D) to
allow your vehicle to move forward and
shift automatically through the forward
gears. The transmission shifts to the appropriate
gear for optimum performance based on
ambient temperature, road gradient,
vehicle load and your input.
Note:
A shift will occur only when your
vehicle speed and the engine speed are
appropriate.
Note: You can temporarily override the
selected gear by pressing the + or - buttons
on the side of the gearshift lever.
Manual (M) WARNING
Do not hold the + or - buttons
permanently in. Shift the gearshift lever to manual (M) to
allow your vehicle to move forward and
allow you to shift manually through the
forward gears. Press the
+ or - buttons on
the side of the gearshift lever to shift
manually through the forward gears. The
instrument cluster will display the selected
gear, and a shift indicator arrow to assist
optimum shifting.
• Press the
+ button to upshift.
• Press the
- button to downshift.
You can skip gears by pressing a button
repeatedly at short intervals.
Upshift at the recommended shift
speeds according to the following
chart: Upshifts when accelerating (recom-
mended for best fuel economy)

Canadian roadside coverage and benefits
may differ from the U.S. coverage. If you
require more information, please refer to
the coverage section of your warranty
guide, call us in Canada at
1-800-665-2006, or visit our website at
www.ford.ca.
Sykes Assistance Services Corporation
administers the Roadside Assistance
program. You must receive covered
services in Canada or the continental
United States. Coverage extends to
vehicles that use public, non-seasonal,
annually traveled roadways. Roadside
Assistance coverage does not extend to
vehicles involved in cross-country driving,
logging, autocross and any other form of
off-road use. Well maintained roads and
surfaces help ensure safe travel for the
supplier, and allow their representatives
to perform service as per the standard
operating procedures.
In Remote Locations
If our supplier cannot take your vehicle by
road to the nearest authorized dealership,
transportation by rail or water may be
necessary. The program covers a tow to
the dock or rail terminal and also to the
dealership at the end of the trip.
For rail or water transportation, however,
contact your authorized dealer to confirm
if you are eligible for additional coverage
before you authorize or pay for the service.
Call the Ford Roadside Assistance at
1-800-665-2006 for additional

HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS The hazard warning button is located on
the instrument panel. Switch the hazard
warning flashers on when your vehicle is
creating a safety hazard.
Press the button to switch the hazard
warning flashers on. The front and rear
direction indicators will flash.
Press the button again to switch the
hazard warning flashers off.
Note:
Prolonged use of the hazard warning
flashers will cause the battery to run out of
charge. There may be insufficient power to
restart the engine.
FUEL SHUTOFF WARNING
Failure to inspect and, if necessary,
repair fuel leaks after a collision may
increase the risk of fire and serious
injury. Ford Motor Company recommends
that the fuel system be inspected by an
authorized dealer after any collision. In the event of a moderate to severe
collision, this vehicle includes a fuel pump
shutoff feature that stops the flow of fuel
to the engine. Not every impact will cause
a shutoff.
Should your vehicle shut off after a
collision, you may restart your vehicle. For
vehicles equipped with a key system:
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. Switch on the ignition.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to re-enable the
fuel pump.
Note: When you try to restart your vehicle
after a fuel shutoff, the vehicle makes sure
that various systems are safe to restart.
Once your vehicle determines that the
systems are safe, then the vehicle will allow
you to restart.
