The lamps will not turn off if:
•
You switch them on with the lighting
control.
• Any door is open.
Illuminated Exit
For vehicles with an integrated keyhead
transmitter, the interior lamps and select
exterior lamps illuminate when you close
all the doors, you switch the ignition off
and you remove the key from the ignition.
The lamps will turn off if all the doors
remain closed and:
• 25 seconds have elapsed.
• You insert the key in the ignition
(integrated keyhead transmitter only).
• You press the START/STOP button
(intelligent access key only).
Battery Saver
If you leave the courtesy lamps, dome
lamps or headlamps on, the battery saver
will turn them off 10 minutes after you
switch the ignition off.
Accessory Mode Battery Saver for
Intelligent Access Keys (If Equipped)
If you leave the ignition switched on and
the engine is not running, the battery saver
will turn the ignition off when it detects a
certain amount of battery drain, or after
45 minutes have elapsed.
Opening the Liftgate or Luggage
Compartment
With the Remote Control Press twice within three seconds
to unlatch the liftgate or luggage
compartment. From Inside Your Vehicle Press the button on the lighting
control panel.
From Outside Your Vehicle Press the release button above the license
plate to unlatch the liftgate or luggage

MANUAL LIFTGATE
WARNINGS
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a
vehicle. In a crash, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seatbelts. Make
sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death. Make sure to close and latch the
liftgate to prevent drawing exhaust
fumes into your vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling
out. If you must drive with the liftgate open,
keep the vents or windows open so outside
air comes into your vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury. 62

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM
Note:
The system is not compatible with
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems.
Use of these systems may result in engine
starting problems and a loss of security
protection.
Note: Metallic objects, electronic devices
or a second coded key on the same key
chain may result in vehicle starting
problems, especially if they are too close to
the key when starting your vehicle. Prevent
these objects from touching the coded key
when starting your vehicle. If your vehicle
fails to start, switch the ignition off, move
all objects on the key chain away from the
key and start your vehicle.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in your vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving your vehicle.
SecuriLock
The system helps prevent the engine from
starting unless you use a coded key
programmed to your vehicle. A message
may appear in the information display.
If your vehicle fails to start, the system may
have a fault. Contact an authorized dealer.
A message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
The system arms when you switch the
ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
The system disarms when you switch the
ignition on with a coded key.
Replacement Keys
Note: Your vehicle comes with two keys. The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver
door lock and turns on the intelligent
access with push button start system, as
well as a remote control.
If your intelligent access keys are lost or
stolen and you do not have an extra coded
key, you need to have your vehicle towed
to an authorized dealer. You need to erase
the key codes from your vehicle and
program new coded keys.
Store a spare intelligent access key away
from your vehicle in a safe place. Contact
an authorized dealer to purchase
additional spare or replacement keys.
Programming a Spare Integrated
Keyhead Transmitter
You can program your own integrated
keyhead transmitter or standard
SecuriLock coded keys to your vehicle. This
procedure will program both the vehicle
immobilizer keycode and the remote entry
portion of the remote control to your
vehicle.
Only use integrated keyhead transmitters
or standard SecuriLock keys.
You must have two previously
programmed coded keys and the new
unprogrammed key readily accessible.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the
spare key programmed if two previously
programmed keys are not available.
Make sure that the ignition is switched off
before beginning this procedure. Carry out
all steps within 30 seconds of starting the
sequence. Stop and wait for at least one
minute before starting again if you carry
out any steps out of sequence.
Note:
You can program a maximum of eight
coded keys to your vehicle. All eight can be
integrated keyhead transmitters.
Read and understand the entire procedure
before you begin.

your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.
ANTI-THEFT ALARM
The system will warn you of an
unauthorized entry to your vehicle. It will
be triggered if any door, the luggage
compartment or the hood is opened
without using the key, remote control or
keyless entry keypad.
The direction indicators will flash and the
horn will sound if unauthorized entry is
attempted while the alarm is armed.
Take all remote controls to an authorized
dealer if there is any potential alarm
problem with your vehicle.
Arming the Alarm
The alarm is ready to arm when there is
not a key in your vehicle. Electronically lock
your vehicle to arm the alarm.
Disarming the Alarm
Disarm the alarm by any of the following
actions:
•
Unlock the doors or luggage
compartment with the remote control
or keyless entry keypad.
• Switch your vehicle on or start your
vehicle.
• Use a key in the driver door to unlock
your vehicle, then switch your vehicle
on within 12 seconds.
Note: Pressing the panic button on the
remote control will stop the horn and signal
indicators, but will not disarm the system.

If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop the engine,
switch the ignition off and determine the
cause once the engine has cooled down.
See Engine Coolant Check (page 217).
Fuel Gauge
Note: : The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is
left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to
the fuel pump symbol indicates on which
side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is
located.
The needle should move toward F when
you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points
to E after adding fuel, this indicates your
vehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal.
Note: 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.
Note: The fuel amount dispensed into the
tank is a little less or more than the gauge
indicated. This is normal and depends upon
the slope of pavement at the gas station.
Note: If the gas station nozzle shuts off
before the tank is full, try a different gas
pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers at about 50
miles (80 km). The low fuel warning light
will light, a warning chime will sound and
a pop up will be shown in the display
indicating the remaining distance to empty.
You will also get a subsequent reminder
at 20, 10 and 0 miles. WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators alert you to a vehicle condition
that may become serious. Some lamps
light when you start your vehicle to make
sure they work. If any lamps remain on
after starting your vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning lamp for further
information.
Note:
Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and function the
same as a warning lamp but do not display
when you start your vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(If Equipped) The speed control system
indicator light changes color to
indicate what mode the system
is in.
On (white light): Illuminates when you
switch on the adaptive cruise control
system. Turns off when you switch off the
speed control system.
Engaged (green light): Illuminates when
you engage the adaptive cruise control
system. Turns off when you disengage the
speed control system.
Anti-Lock Braking System If it lights when you are driving,
this indicates a malfunction. You
continue to have normal braking
(without anti-lock braking system) unless
the brake system warning lamp also lights.
Have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
Auto Start-stop
(If Equipped) It lights to inform you when the
engine shuts down or in
conjunction with a message.
