HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS
Note:
If used when the vehicle is not running,
the battery will lose charge. There may be
insufficient power to restart your vehicle. The hazard warning button is
located on the instrument panel.
Use it when your vehicle is
creating a safety hazard for other motorists.
• Press the button to turn on the hazard
warning function, and the front and rear
direction indicators will flash.
• Press the button again to turn them off.
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 has a fuel pump shut-off
feature that stops the flow of fuel to the
engine. Not every impact will cause a
shut-off.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. Check the information display for the
Ready to Drive light as the gasoline
engine may not start, but the electric
motor may be running. If you do not see
the Ready to Drive light, repeat Steps 1
and 2 up to two more times.
For vehicles equipped with a push button
start system:
1. Press the push button start to switch off the ignition.
2. Press the brake pedal and press the push
button start to switch on the ignition.
3. Check the information display for the Ready to Drive light as the gasoline
engine may not start, but the electric
motor may be running. If you do not see
the Ready to Drive light, repeat Steps 1
and 2 up to two more times.

Vehicle Information and General Safety
Practices
•
Know the make and model of your
vehicle.
• Review the owner’ s manual and become
familiar with your vehicle ’s safety
information and recommended safety
practices.
• Do not attempt to repair damaged
electric and hybrid-electric vehicles
yourself. Contact an authorized Ford
Dealer or vehicle manufacturer
representative for service.
Crashes
A crash or impact significant enough to
require an emergency response for
conventional vehicles would also require the
same response for an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle. If possible
•
Move your car to a safe, nearby location
and remain on the scene.
• Roll down the windows before shutting
your vehicle off.
• Place your vehicle in Park, set the parking
brake, turn off the vehicle, activate the
hazard lights, and move your key(s) at
least 16 feet (5 meters) away from the
vehicle.
Always
• Call 911 if assistance is needed and
advise that an electric or hybrid-electric
vehicle is involved.
• Do not touch exposed electrical
components or the engine compartment,
as a shock hazard may exist.
• Avoid contact with leaking fluids and
gases, and remain out of the way of
oncoming traffic until emergency
responders arrive.
• When emergency responders arrive, tell
them that the vehicle involved is an
electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle. Fires
As with any vehicle, call 911 immediately if
you see sparks, smoke or flames coming
from the vehicle.
•
Exit the vehicle immediately.
• Advise 911 that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
• As with any vehicle fire, do not inhale
smoke, vapors or gas from the vehicle,
as they may be hazardous.
• Remain a safe distance upwind and uphill
from the vehicle fire.
• Stay out of the roadway and stay out of
the way of any oncoming traffic while
awaiting the arrival of emergency
responders.
Post-Incident
• Do not store a severely damaged vehicle
with a lithium-ion battery inside a
structure or within 50 feet (15 meters) of
any structure or vehicle.
• Make sure that passenger and cargo
compartments remain ventilated (i.e.,
open window, door, or trunk).
