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

station.
• If the gas station nozzle shuts off before

The Brake Coach appears after your vehicle
has come to a stop. It coaches you to brake
in a manner which maximizes the amount of
energy returned through the regenerative
braking system. The percent displayed is an
indication of the regenerative braking
efficiency with 100% representing the
maximum amount of energy recovery.
This feature can be switched on or off in the
information displays settings menu.

Note:
Fuel economy is not always a measure
of appropriate driving behavior. For example,
when driving uphill and maintaining an
appropriate speed, your instant fuel
economy may not be good (losing leaves)
but the Coach may show a blue bar for
Acceleration and Cruising.
Common Displays
Both Average fuel economy and an
instantaneous fuel economy gauge are
included in Engage, Empower and MyView
(if selected) on the left information display.
They are also included in Fuel History on the
right information display.
Average Fuel Economy
Average Fuel Economy is continuously
averaged since the last reset. You can reset
your average fuel economy by pressing and
holding the OK button on the corresponding
steering wheel controls. Note:
Average fuel economy cannot be reset
in MyView.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy
If your instantaneous fuel economy is greater
than the maximum value displayed, a + sign
will be shown next to the maximum scale
number. When your vehicle is operating on
battery power only, EV will display and the
gauge fill will show in blue.
INFORMATION MESSAGES
Note: Depending on the vehicle options
equipped with your vehicle, not all of the
messages will display or be available.
Certain messages may be abbreviated or
shortened depending upon which cluster
type you have. Press the OK button to acknowledge and
remove some messages from the information
display. Other messages will be removed
automatically after a short time.
Certain messages need to be confirmed
before you can access the menus.

1. Remove the rubber covering (A) in the
cupholder. Place the remote in the
backup slot (B) at the bottom of the
cupholder.
2. With the key in this position, press the brake pedal, then the START button to
switch the ignition on and start your
vehicle.
Fast Restart
The fast restart feature allows you to restart
the vehicle within 20 seconds of switching
it off, even if a valid key is not present. Within 20 seconds of switching the vehicle
off, press the brake pedal and press the
button. After 20 seconds have expired, you
can no longer restart the vehicle without the
key present inside your vehicle.
Once the vehicle has started, it remains
running until you press the button, even if
the system does not detect a valid key. If you
open and close a door while the vehicle is
running, the system searches for a valid key.
You cannot restart the vehicle if the system
does not detect a valid key within 20
seconds.
Automatic Shutdown
This feature automatically shuts down the
vehicle if it has been idling for an extended
period. The ignition also turns off in order to
save battery power. Before the vehicle shuts
down, a message appears in the information
display showing a timer counting down from
30 seconds. If you do not intervene within
30 seconds, the vehicle shuts down. Another
message appears in the information display
to inform you that the vehicle has shut down
in order to save fuel. Start your vehicle as
you normally do.Automatic Shutdown Override
Note:
You cannot permanently switch off the
automatic shutdown feature. When you
switch it off temporarily, it turns on at the
next ignition cycle.
You can stop the shutdown, or reset the
timer, at any point before the 30-second
countdown has expired by doing any of the
following:
• You can reset the timer by interacting
with your vehicle (such as pressing the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal).
• You can temporarily switch off the
shutdown feature any time the ignition is
on (for the current ignition cycle only).
Use the information display to do so. See
Information Displays (page 109).
• During the countdown before shutdown,
you are prompted to press OK or RESET
(depending on your type of information
display) to temporarily switch the feature
off (for the current ignition cycle only).

Keep a record for at least one month and
record the type of driving (city or highway).
This provides an accurate estimate of the
vehicle
’s fuel economy under current driving
conditions. Additionally, keeping records
during summer and winter show how
temperature impacts fuel economy. In
general, lower temperatures mean lower fuel
economy.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARNINGS
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle
in dry grass or other dry ground cover.
The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, which can
start a fire. Exhaust leaks may result in entry of
harmful and potentially lethal fumes
into the passenger compartment. If you smell
exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your
dealer inspect your vehicle immediately. Do
not drive if you smell exhaust fumes. Your vehicle is equipped with various
emission control components and a catalytic
converter that will enable your vehicle to
comply with applicable exhaust emission
standards. To make sure that the catalytic
converter and other emission control
components continue to work properly:
•
Use only the specified fuel listed.
• Avoid running out of fuel.
• Do not turn off the ignition while your
vehicle is moving, especially at high
speeds.
• Have the items listed in scheduled
maintenance information performed
according to the specified schedule.
The scheduled maintenance items listed in
scheduled maintenance information are
essential to the life and performance of your
vehicle and to its emissions system.
If you use parts other than Ford, Motorcraft
or Ford-authorized parts for maintenance
replacements, or for service of components
affecting emission control, such non-Ford
parts should be the equivalent to genuine
Ford Motor Company parts in performance
and durability. Illumination of the service engine soon
indicator, charging system warning light or
the temperature warning light, fluid leaks,
strange odors, smoke or loss of engine
power could indicate that the emission
control system is not working properly.
An improperly operating or damaged exhaust
system may allow exhaust to enter the
vehicle. Have a damaged or improperly
operating exhaust system inspected and
repaired immediately.
Do not make any unauthorized changes to
your vehicle or engine. By law, vehicle
owners and anyone who manufactures,
repairs, services, sells, leases, trades
vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles are
not permitted to intentionally remove an
emission control device or prevent it from
working. Information about your vehicle
’s
emission system is on the Vehicle Emission
Control Information Decal located on or near
the engine. This decal also lists engine
displacement
Please consult your warranty information for

selections in its route calculation.
3. Choose from up to three different types of routes, and then select
Start Route.
• Fastest: Uses the fastest moving roads
possible.
• Shortest: Uses the shortest distance
possible.
• Eco Route: Uses the most fuel-efficient
route. You can cancel the route or have the system
demo the route for you. Select
Route Prefs
to set route preferences like avoiding
freeways, tollroads, ferries and car trains as
well as to use or not use high-occupancy
vehicle lanes. (High-occupancy vehicle lanes
are also known as carpool or diamond lanes.
People who ride in buses, vanpools or
carpools use these lanes.)
Note: If your vehicle is on a recognized road
and you do not press the Start Route button,
the system defaults to the Fastest Route
option and begins guidance.
During route guidance, you can press the
talking bubble icon that appears in the upper
right navigation corner (green bar) if you want
the system to repeat route guidance
information. When the system repeats the
last guidance instruction, it updates the
distance to the next guidance instruction,
since it detects when the vehicle is moving. Point of Interest (POI) Categories Main categories
