GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine speeds
can produce very high temperatures
in the engine and exhaust system, creating
the risk of fire or other damage. Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle
on dry grass or other dry ground cover.
The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, creating
the risk of fire. Do not start the engine in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.
Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open
the garage door before you start the engine. If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle checked by
an authorized dealer immediately. Do not
drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust fumes. If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 miles (8
kilometers) after you reconnect it. This is
because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving characteristics
during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.
When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
Note:
The keyless starting system may not
function if the key is close to metal objects
or electronic devices such as cellular
phones.
Note: A valid key must be located inside
your vehicle to switch the ignition on and
start the engine. Ignition Modes
The keyless starting system has three
modes:
Off: Turns the ignition off.
• Without applying the brake pedal, press
and release the button once when the
ignition is in the on mode, or when the
engine is running but the vehicle is not
moving.
On:
All electrical circuits are operational and
the warning lamps and indicators illuminate.
• Without applying the brake pedal, press
and release the button once.
Start:
Starts the engine.

PARKING AID (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, please
read and understand the limitations of
the system as contained in this section.
Sensing is only an aid for some (generally
large and fixed) objects when moving in
reverse on a flat surface at parking speeds.
Traffic control systems, inclement weather,
air brakes, and external motors and fans may
also affect the function of the sensing
system; this may include reduced
performance or a false activation. To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in R (Reverse) and
when using the sensing system. This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
The system is designed to provide a warning
to assist the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to avoid damaging the
vehicle. The system may not detect smaller
objects, particularly those close to the
ground. WARNINGS
Certain add-on devices such as large
trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
and any device that may block the normal
detection zone of the system, may create
false beeps. Note:
Keep the sensors, located on the
bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors
are covered, the system’ s accuracy can be
affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
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.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
MyKey®, it is possible to prevent turning the
sensing system off.
See MyKey™ (page 62).
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of the
bumper area. The system turns on
automatically whenever the ignition is
switched on. 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.
The system can be switched off through the
information display menu or from the pop-up
message that appears once the transmission
is shifted into
R. See General Information
(page 112).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information display
and does not allow the driver to switch the
faulted system on.
See Information
Messages (page 118).
Rear Sensing System
The rear sensors are only active when the
transmission is in
R. As the vehicle moves
closer to the obstacle, the rate of the audible
warning increases. When the obstacle is
fewer than 10 inches (25 centimeters) away,
the warning sounds continuously. If a
191
MKC (TME), enUSA Parking Aids

The system sounds an audible warning when
obstacles are near either bumper in the
following manner:
•
Objects detected by the front sensors
are indicated by a high-pitched tone from
the front radio speakers.
• Objects detected by the rear sensors are
indicated by a lower pitched tone from
the rear radio speakers.
• The sensing system reports the obstacle
which is closest to the front or rear of the
vehicle. For example, if an obstacle is 24
inches (60 centimeters) from the front of
the vehicle and, at the same time, an
obstacle is only 16 inches (40
centimeters) from the rear of the vehicle,
the lower pitched tone sounds.
• An alternating warning sounds from the
front and rear if there are objects at both
bumpers that are closer than 10 inches
(25 centimeters).
For specific information on the reverse
sensing portion of the system, refer to that
section. ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (If Equipped) WARNING
Designed to be a supplementary park
aid, this system may not work in all
conditions. This system cannot replace the
driver’ s attention and judgment. The driver
is responsible for avoiding hazards and
maintaining a safe distance and speed, even
when the system is in use. Note:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, supervising the
system and intervening if required.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that cause
disruptive reflections.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves.
Note: Whenever the battery is disconnected
or a new battery installed, you need to drive
your vehicle a short distance and your speed
must exceed 12.4 mph (20 km/h) so the
system can recalibrate the steering angle
data. The system detects an available parallel
parking space and automatically steers your
vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you
control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
The system visually and audibly instructs you
to park the vehicle.
The system may not function correctly if
something passes between the front bumper
and the parking space (a pedestrian or
cyclist) or if the edge of the neighboring
parked vehicle is high off the ground (for
example, a bus, tow truck or flatbed truck).
Do not use the system if:
•
You have attached a foreign object (bike
rack or trailer) to the front or rear of your
vehicle or attached close to the sensors
• You have attached an overhanging
object (surfboard) to the roof
• The front bumper or side sensors are
damaged or obstructed by a foreign
object (front bumper cover)
• A mini-spare tire is in use

Enhanced Park Aids
Note:
Enhanced park aids is only available
when the transmission is in Reverse (R).
Note: The reverse sensing system is not
effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)
and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
The system uses red, yellow and green
highlights which appear on top of the video
image when an object is detected by the
reverse sensing system. The alert highlights
the closest object detected. The reverse
sensing alert can be disabled and if visual
park aid alert is enabled, highlighted areas
are still displayed.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF.
Manual Zoom WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the full area
behind your vehicle is not shown. Be
aware of your surroundings when using the
manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in Reverse (R).
Note: Only the centerline shows when you
enable manual zoom.
This allows you to get a closer view of an
object behind your vehicle. The zoomed
image keeps the bumper in the image to
provide a reference. The zoom is only active
while the transmission is in Reverse (R).
When you shift the transmission out of
Reverse (R), the feature automatically turns
off and you must enable it to use it used
again.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The default setting for the manual
zoom is OFF.
Rear Camera Delay
When shifting the transmission out of
Reverse (R) and into any gear other than Park
(P), the camera image remains in the display
until your vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8
km/h). This occurs when the rear camera
delay feature is on, or until a radio button is
selected. Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The default setting for the rear
camera delay is OFF.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies and Reception
Factors
AM and FM frequencies are established by
the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and the Canadian Radio and
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
Those frequencies are:
•
AM: 530, 540-1700, 1710 kHz
• FM: 87.9-107.7, 107.9 MHz Radio Reception Factors
The further you travel from an FM station, the weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
Distance and Strength
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, \
parking garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with the reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and
result in the audio system muting.
Station overload
CD and CD Player Information
Note: CD units play commercially pressed
4.75-inch (12 centimeter) audio compact
discs only. Due to technical incompatibility,
certain recordable and re-recordable
compact discs may not function correctly
when used in Ford CD players. Note:
Do not insert CDs with homemade
paper (adhesive) labels into the CD player
as the label may peel and cause the CD to
become jammed. You should use a
permanent felt tip marker rather than
adhesive labels on your homemade CDs.
Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please
contact an authorized dealer for further
information. Note:
Do not use any irregularly shaped
discs or discs with a scratch protection film
attached.
Always handle discs by their edges only.
Clean the disc with an approved CD cleaner
only. Wipe it from the center of the disc
toward the edge. Do not clean in a circular
motion.
