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.

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.

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.

Note:
When you try to restart your vehicle
after a fuel shutoff, the vehicle makes sure
that the electrical system is safe to restart.
Once your vehicle determines that the
electrical system is safe, then the vehicle will
allow you to restart.
Note: In the event that your vehicle does not
restart after your third attempt, contact 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
injury or vehicle damage. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
can burn skin, eyes and clothing, if
contacted. 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.
Preparing Your Vehicle
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.
1. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle making sure
the two vehicles do not touch. Set the
parking brake on both vehicles and stay
clear of the engine cooling fan and other
moving parts. 2. Check all battery terminals and remove
any excessive corrosion before you
attach the battery cables. Ensure that
vent caps are tight and level.
3. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any electrical surges. Turn
all other accessories off.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
Your vehicle has two battery prongs that are
accessible from under the hood, even though
the actual battery is located in the trunk. Your
vehicle can be jumped the same way
conventional vehicles can be using these
prongs. The illustration below shows the two
connector prongs used for jump-starting your
vehicle.

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.
