DATA RECORDING
Service Data Recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing diagnostic
information about your vehicle. This
potentially includes information about the
performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine,
throttle, steering or brake systems. In order
to properly diagnose and service your vehicle,
Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and
service and repair facilities may access or
share among them vehicle diagnostic
information received through a direct
connection to your vehicle when diagnosing
or servicing your vehicle. Additionally, when
your vehicle is in for service or repair, Ford
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service
and repair facilities may access or share
among them data for vehicle improvement
purposes. For U.S. only (if equipped), if you
choose to use the SYNC Vehicle Health Report, you consent that certain diagnostic
information may also be accessed
electronically by Ford Motor Company and
Ford authorized service facilities, and that
the diagnostic information may be used for
any purpose.
Event Data Recording
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder. The main purpose of an
event data recorder is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations, such
as an airbag deployment or hitting a road
obstacle; this data will assist in
understanding how a vehicle
’s systems
performed. The event data recorder is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less.
The event data recorder in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or the
brake pedal; and

Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note:
You must press each button within
three seconds of each other. Your vehicle will
not remote start if you do not follow this
sequence. The tag with your transmitter details the
starting procedure.
To remote start your vehicle:
1.
Press the lock button to lock all the doors.
2. Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash twice.
The horn will sound if the system fails to
start, unless quiet start is on. Quiet start will
run the blower fan at a slower speed to
reduce noise. It can be switched on or off in
the information display. See General
Information (page 89). Note:
If the vehicle has been remote started
with an integrated keyhead transmitter, you
must switch the ignition on before driving your
vehicle. With an intelligent access transmitter,
you must press the
START/STOP button on
the instrument panel once while applying the
brake pedal before driving your vehicle.
The power windows will not work during the
remote start and the radio will not turn on
automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and the
vehicle will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still
running to extend the run time for another
remote start duration. If you programmed
the duration to last 10 minutes, the second
10 minutes will begin after what is left of the
first activation time. For example, if the
vehicle had been running from the first
remote start for five minutes, the vehicle will
continue to run now for a total of 15 minutes.
You can extend the remote start up to a
maximum of 35 minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after a vehicle shutdown. Turning the Vehicle Off After Remote
Starting Press the button once. The parking
lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to the
vehicle than when starting due to ground
reflection and the added noise of the running
vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote start
system through the information display. See
General Information
(page 89).
Memory Feature
You can recall the positions of the memory
seat, outside mirrors, steering column and
power pedal positions (if equipped) with your
intelligent access key if it is linked to a pre-set
position.
See Memory Function (page 114).
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement keys or remote controls can be
purchased from an authorized dealer.
Authorized dealers can program remote
controls for your vehicle. See
Passive
Anti-Theft System (page 63).

Stopping the Engine When Your
Vehicle is Moving
WARNING
Switching off the engine when the
vehicle is still moving will result in a loss
of brake and steering assistance. The
steering will not lock, but higher effort will be
required. When the ignition is switched off,
some electrical circuits, including air bags,
warning lamps and indicators may also be
off. If the ignition was turned off accidentally,
you can shift into neutral (N) and re-start the
engine. 1.
Press and hold the button for one second,
or press it three times within two seconds.
2. Move the transmission selector lever to neutral (N) and use the brakes to bring
your vehicle to a safe stop. When your
vehicle has stopped, move the
transmission selector lever to park (P)
and switch the ignition off.
3. Apply the parking brake. Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes WARNING
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle checked by
your authorized dealer immediately. Do
not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust
fumes. Carbon monoxide is present in
exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid its
dangerous effects. Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and then leave the
engine idling for long periods, we recommend
that you do one of the following:
•
Open the windows at least 1 inch (2.5
centimeters).
• Set your climate control to outside air.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (If Equipped) WARNINGS
Failure to follow engine block heater
instructions could result in property
damage or serious personal injury. WARNINGS
Do not use your heater with
ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk
of electrical shock. Do not fully close the hood, or allow it
to drop under its own weight when
using the engine block heater. This
could damage the power cable and may
cause an electrical short resulting in fire, injury
and property damage. Note:
The heater is most effective when
outdoor temperatures are below 0°F (-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid by warming
the engine coolant. This allows the climate
control system to respond quickly. The
equipment includes a heater element
(installed in the engine block) and a wire
harness. You can connect the system to a
grounded 120-volt AC electrical source.

Operating AWD Vehicles With
Mismatched Tires
WARNING
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. Major dissimilar tire sizes between the front
and rear axles (for example, 17 inch low
profile tires on the front axle and 22 inch high
profile tires on the rear axle) could cause the
AWD system to stop functioning and default
to front-wheel drive or damage the AWD
system. However, the AWD system is capable
of tolerating any combination of new and
worn tires of the same original tire size. For
example, using 3 worn tread tires and 1 new
tread tire all of the same original tire size, can
be tolerated by the AWD system.
Driving In Special Conditions With
All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
AWD vehicles are equipped for driving on
sand, snow, mud and rough roads and have
operating characteristics that are somewhat
different from conventional vehicles, both on
and off the highway.
When driving at slow speeds in deep sand
under high outside temperatures, use a low
gear when possible. Lower gear operation
will maximize the engine and transmission
cooling capability.
Under severe operating conditions, the A/C
may cycle on and off to protect overheating
of the engine.
Basic operating principles in special
conditions
•
Drive slower in strong crosswinds which
can affect the normal steering
characteristics of your vehicle.
• Be extremely careful when driving on
pavement made slippery by loose sand,
water, gravel, snow or ice.
