Front and Rear Parking Aids*
Sound an audible warning tone if there is an obstacle near the
vehicle’s front or rear bumpers. As the vehicle moves closer to the
obstacle, the rate of the warning tone increases in frequency. The
front sensors turn on automatically when the gearshift is in any
position other than park (P) and the vehicle speed is below
7 mph (12 km/h). The rear sensors detect certain objects while
the transmission is in reverse (R). See the Parking Aids chapter in
your Owner’s Manual for complete information on your vehicle’s
parking aids.
Lane Keeping System*
Notifies you to stay in your lane through the
steering system and the instrument cluster
display when the front camera detects an
unintentional drift out of your lane is likely
to occur. The system automatically detects
and tracks the road lane markings using a
camera mounted behind the interior rear
view mirror. Set your system settings as
desired by Mode and Intensity from your information display
screen. See the Information Displays chapter in your Owner’s
Manual for more details on how to change your settings.
Driver Alert*

alertness level reduces below a certain threshold, then the system
sounds a tone and displays a message in the information display.
Press OK on the steering wheel to clear a warning, if required.
Pre-Collision Assist*
The system is designed to alert you of certain collision risks. The
system's sensor detects your vehicle's rapid approach to other
vehicles traveling in the same direction as your vehicle. When your
vehicle rapidly approaches another vehicle, a red warning light
flashes and a tone sounds.
The brake support system assists you in reducing the collision speed
by pre-charging the brakes. If the risk of a collision further increases
after the audio-visual warning, the brake support prepares the
brake system for rapid braking. The system does not automatically
activate the brakes, but if you press the brake pedal even lightly, the
brakes apply full stopping power. For complete information, refer to
the Driving Aids chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
NOTE Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety
information, more details and system limitations.
SecuriCodeTM Keyless Entry Keypad*
Allows you to lock or unlock the doors, recall memory features and
arm or disarm the anti-theft alarm. The keypad, located near the
driver’s window, is invisible until touched and then it lights up so
you can see and touch the buttons. To get started, you need your
five-digit factory code found on your owner’s wallet card or you can
display it temporarily within the information display, if the card is not
handy. Entering this code unlocks the driver’s door. To lock all of the
doors, press and hold 7•8 and 9•0 at the same time. For complete

Fuel Tank
Capacity/Fuel Info
Fuel tank capacity varies on your Fusion,
depending on your drive type: 16.5 gallons
(62.5 liters) for front-wheel drive models
and 17.5 gallons (66.2 liters) for all-wheel
drive models. Use only UNLEADED fuel or
UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum
of 15% ethanol and a minimum 87 octane
rating. Do not use E85 (ethanol), diesel,
fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other
fuel because it could damage or impair
the emission control system.
Easy Fuel® System
Put your vehicle into park (P) and switch
the ignition off. Open the fuel release door.
Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle into the
fuel system, and leave the nozzle fully
inserted until you stop pumping fuel. Allow
about five to ten seconds after pumping
fuel before removing the fuel filler nozzle.
This allows residual fuel to drain back into
the fuel tank and not spill onto the vehicle.
Slowly remove the fuel filler nozzle.
NOTE When using a portable fuel
container, slowly insert the fuel funnel
(located under the luggage compartment
floor covering), and pour the fuel into
the funnel. When done, clean the funnel
or properly dispose of it. Do not use
aftermarket funnels as they do not work
with the Easy Fuel system and may cause
damage. You can purchase extra funnels
from your authorized dealer. Refer to the
Refueling section in the Fuel and Refueling
chapter of your Owner's Manual for
warnings and additional information.
