Note:
A rear center passenger or raised rear
center head restraint could prevent light
from reaching the sensor.
SUN VISORS Rotate the sun visor toward the side
window and extend it rearward for extra
shade.
Illuminated Vanity Mirror (If Equipped)
Lift the cover to switch the lamp on. MOONROOF
(If Equipped) WARNING:
Do not let children play
with the moonroof or leave them
unattended in the vehicle. They may
seriously hurt themselves. WARNING:
When closing the
moonroof, you should verify that it is free
of obstructions and make sure that
children and pets are not in the proximity
of the roof opening.
The moonroof and sunscreen controls are
located on the overhead console.
The moonroof and sunscreen have a
one-touch open and close feature. To stop
them during one-touch operation, press
the control a second time.
Opening and Closing the
Sunscreen Press and release the rear of the control
to open the sunscreen.
Press and release the front of the control
to close the sunscreen. If it is open, the
moonroof will automatically close before
the sunscreen closes.

Opening and Closing the Moonroof
Press and release the rear of the control
to open the moonroof. If it is closed, the
sunscreen will automatically open before
the moonroof opens. The moonroof will
stop short of the fully opened position.
Note:
This position helps to reduce wind
noise or rumbling which may happen with
the moonroof fully open. Press and hold the
control again to fully open the moonroof.
Press and release the front of the control
to close the moonroof.
Bounce-Back
The moonroof will stop automatically
while closing. It will reverse some distance
if there is an obstacle in the way.
Press and hold the front of the control
within two seconds of a bounce-back
event to override this function. While
bounce-back is active, the closing force
increases for each of the next three times
that you close the moonroof.
Venting the Moonroof
Press and release the front of the control
to vent the moonroof. Press and release
the rear of the control to close the
moonroof.
Note: When you vent the moonroof it will
rise to 1.57 in (4 cm) and then lower slightly.
This is normal. You cannot stop the
moonroof in the higher position.

ROOF RACKS AND LOAD
CARRIERS (If Equipped)
WARNING:
When loading the roof
racks, we recommend you evenly distribute
the load, as well as maintain a low center
of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher
centers of gravity, may handle differently
than unloaded vehicles. Take extra
precautions, such as slower speeds and
increased stopping distance, when driving
a heavily loaded vehicle.
The maximum recommended load, evenly
distributed on the crossbars, is:
• 100 lb (45 kg)
for vehicles without a
moonroof.
• 45 lb (20 kg)
for vehicles with a
moonroof.
Note: Never place loads directly on the roof
panel.
For correct roof rack system function, you
must place loads directly on crossbars
affixed to the roof rack side rails. When
using the roof rack system, we recommend
you use Ford Genuine Accessory crossbars
designed specifically for your vehicle.
Make sure that you securely fasten the
load. Check the tightness of the load
before driving and at each fuel stop.
Adjusting the Crossbar
(If Equipped)
Note: For less wind noise and better
aerodynamics, only install the crossbars
when you need them for carrying cargo. If
you prefer to keep the crossbars installed,
the front crossbar has two positions. The
front position is quieter for wind noise. The
rear position may help to reduce wind noise
from an open moonroof. Follow the steps
to reposition or remove the front crossbar.
You can remove the rear crossbar fasteners
by unscrewing the assembly. 1.
Remove the crossbar thumbwheels at
both sides of the front crossbar by
turning them counterclockwise.
Note: If you cannot loosen the thumbwheel
with your hand, loosen the fastener head.
You can also use a small screwdriver or
similar tool to loosen the thumbwheel by
inserting the shaft between the two paddles
of the thumbwheel and rotating it loose.
2. Remove the crossbar by sliding the ends off of the shoulder bolts in the
side rails.
3. Move the crossbar to the new side rail position and slide the crossbar onto
the shoulder bolt at that position.
4. Replace and tighten the thumbwheels
at both sides of the crossbar by turning
them clockwise until tight. You can use
a small screwdriver or similar tool to
tighten if necessary.
Make sure to check that the thumbwheels
are tight each time you add or remove load
from the roof rack, and periodically while
traveling. Make sure that the load is secure
before traveling.
