USING POWER RUNNING
BOARDS
WARNINGS
In extreme climates, excessive ice
buildup may occur, causing the
running boards not to deploy. Make
sure that the running boards have
deployed, and have finished moving before
attempting to step on them. The running
boards will resume normal function once
the blockage is cleared. Turn off the running boards before
jacking or placing any object under
your vehicle. Never place your hand
between the extended running board and
your vehicle. A moving running board may
cause injury. Note:
Do not use the running boards, front
and rear hinge assemblies, running board
motors, or the running board underbody
mounts to lift your vehicle when jacking.
Always use proper jacking points.
Note: The running boards may operate
more slowly in cool temperatures.
Note: The running board mechanism may
trap debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice and
salt. This may cause unwanted noise. If this
happens, manually set the running boards
to the deployed position. Then, wash the
system, in particular the front and rear hinge
arms, with a high-pressure car wash wand. Automatic Power Deploy The running boards automatically extend
down and out when you open the door.
This can help you enter and exit your
vehicle.
Automatic Power Stow
When you close the doors, the running
boards return to the stowed position after
a two-second delay.
Manual Power Deploy
You can manually operate the running
boards in the information display. See
General Information (page 92).
Set the running boards in the deployed
position to access the roof.
The running boards return to the stowed
position and enter automatic mode when
the vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).
Enabling and Disabling
You can enable and disable the power
running board feature in the information
display. See
General Information (page
92).

Tire Change Procedure
WARNINGS
Only use replacement tires and
wheels that are the same size, load
index, speed rating and type (such
as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season
versus all-terrain) as those originally
provided by Ford. The recommended tire
and wheel size may be found on either the
Safety Compliance Certification Label
(affixed to either the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post, or the door edge that
meets the door-latch post, next to the
driver ’s seating position) or the Tire Label
which is located on the B-Pillar or edge of
the driver ’s door. If this information is not
found on these labels then you should
contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Use of any tire or wheel not
recommended by Ford can affect the
safety and performance of your vehicle,
which could result in an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. Additionally the
use of non-recommended tires and wheels
could cause steering, suspension, axle,
transfer case or power transfer unit failure.
If you have questions regarding tire
replacement, contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible. When one of the front wheels is off
the ground, the transmission alone
will not prevent the vehicle from
moving or slipping off the jack. To help prevent the vehicle from
moving when you change a tire, be
sure to place the transmission in park
(P), set the parking brake and block (in
both directions) the wheel that is
diagonally opposite (other side and end of
the vehicle) to the tire being changed. Never get underneath a vehicle that
is supported only by a jack. If the
vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously injured. WARNINGS
Do not attempt to change a tire on
the side of the vehicle close to
moving traffic. Pull far enough off the
road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel. Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one
provided as original equipment with your
vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including
any vehicle cargo or modifications. Disable the power running boards
before jacking, lifting, or placing any
object under the vehicle. Never place
your hand between the power running
board and the vehicle as extended power
running boards will retract when the doors
are closed. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions
when using the spare tire carrier
could cause loss of the wheel and
tire and lead to personal injury: Only use
the spare tire carrier to stow the tire and
wheel combination specified on the Tire
Label or Safety Compliance Certification
Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the
driver door. Other tire and wheel
combinations could cause the carrier to
fail if it does not fit securely or is too heavy.
Do not use impact tools or power tools
operating over 200 RPM, which may cause
winch malfunction and prevent a secure
fit. Override the winch at least three times
(there will be an audible click each time)
to ensure a tight secure fit of the wheel and
tire. Note:
Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.

Park on a level surface, activate the hazard
flashers and set the parking brake. Then,
place the transmission in park (P) and turn
the engine off.
Removing the Jack and Tools
Note:
Pay close attention to the orientation
of the bag, because it will have to be
reinstalled after changing the tire.
1. Open the liftgate, then locate the access panel on the floor behind the

them.
2. Open the spare tire winch access plug at the bottom of the compartment for
the jack and tools tray. 3. Insert the winch extension tool
assembly through the access hole in
the floor and engage the winch. 4. To remove the spare tire, turn the
handle counterclockwise until the tire
is lowered to the ground and the cable
is slightly slack.
5. Slide the retainer through the center of
the spare tire wheel and remove the
spare tire.

Installing the Spare Tire 1. Remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench.
2. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,
making sure the valve stem is facing
