Note:Do not attach the end of the positivecable to the studs or L-shaped eyelet locatedabove the positive (+) terminal of yourvehicle’s battery. High current may flowthrough and cause damage to the fuses.
Note:To avoid reverse polarity connections,make sure that you correctly identify thepositive (+) and negative (-) terminals on boththe disabled and booster vehicles beforeconnecting the cables.
Negative prong (–).A
Positive prong (+).BNote:In the illustration, the bottom vehiclerepresents the booster vehicle.
Note:Make sure you remove the cap fromthe positive prong on your vehicle beforeconnecting the cables.
1. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable tothe positive (+) terminal of the dischargedbattery.
2.Connect the other end of the positive (+)cable to the positive (+) terminal of thebooster vehicle battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) cable to thenegative (-) terminal of the boostervehicle battery.
4.Make the final connection of the negative(-) cable to an exposed metal part of thestalled vehicle's engine, away from thebattery and the fuel injection system, orconnect the negative (-) cable to a groundconnection point if available.
Jump Starting
1. Start the engine of the booster vehicleand rev the engine moderately, or pressthe accelerator gently to keep yourengine speed between 2000 and 3000RPM, as shown in your tachometer.

2. Start the disabled vehicle.
3. Check the instrument cluster for theReady to Drive light as the gasolineengine may not start, but the electricmotor may be running.
4. Once you start the disabled vehicle, runboth vehicles for an additional threeminutes before disconnecting the jumpercables.
Removing the Jumper Cables
Note:After you disconnect the jumpercables, let the disabled vehicle sit in Readyto Drive mode for several minutes to chargethe 12V battery. The disabled vehiclecharges the 12V battery even if the gasolineengine may be off. The 12V battery receivespower from the high-voltage battery instead.
Remove the jumper cables in the reverseorder that they were connected.
1. Remove the negative (-) jumper cablefrom the disabled vehicle.
2. Remove the jumper cable on thenegative (-) terminal of the boostervehicle battery.
3. Remove the jumper cable from thepositive (+) terminal of the booster vehiclebattery.
4. Remove the jumper cable from thepositive (+) terminal of the disabledvehicle battery.

COLLISION, DAMAGE OR FIRE
EVENT
Guidance for Ford Motor CompanyElectric and Hybrid-Electric VehiclesEquipped With High Voltage Batteries
(Vehicle Owner/Operator/General Public)Electric and Hybrid-Electric VehicleConsiderations
In the event of damage or fire involving anelectric vehicle or hybrid-electric vehicle:
•Always assume the high-voltage batteryand associated components areenergized and fully charged.
•Exposed electrical components, wires,and high-voltage batteries presentpotential high-voltage shock hazards.
•Venting high-voltage battery vapors arepotentially toxic and flammable.
•Physical damage to the vehicle orhigh-voltage battery may result inimmediate or delayed release of toxic,flammable gases and fire.
Vehicle information and general safetypractices:
•Know the make and model of yourvehicle.
•Review the owner’s manual and becomefamiliar with your vehicle’s safetyinformation and recommended safetypractices.
•Do not attempt to repair damagedelectric and hybrid-electric vehiclesyourself.
Contact an authorized dealer.
Crashes
A crash or impact significant enough torequire an emergency response forconventional vehicles would also require thesame response for an electric orhybrid-electric vehicle.
If possible:
•Move your vehicle to a safe, nearbylocation and remain on the scene.
•Roll down the windows before switchingyour vehicle off.
•Place your vehicle in park (P), set theparking brake, switch off the vehicle,activate the hazard warning flashers andmove your key(s) at least 15 ft (5 m) awayfrom the vehicle.
Always:
•Call emergency assistance if needed andadvise that an electric or hybrid-electricvehicle is involved.
•Exposed electrical components, wires,and high-voltage batteries presentpotential high-voltage shock hazards.

•Avoid contact with leaking fluids andgases, and remain out of the way ofoncoming traffic until emergencyresponders arrive.
•When emergency responders arrive, tellthem that the vehicle involved is anelectric vehicle or hybrid-electric vehicle.
Fires
As with any vehicle, call emergencyassistance immediately if you see sparks,smoke or flames coming from the vehicle. Remain a safe distance from the vehicle andtry to stay clear of the smoke.
•Exit the vehicle immediately.
•Advise emergency assistance that anelectric or hybrid-electric vehicle isinvolved.
•As with any vehicle fire, do not inhalesmoke, vapors or gas from the vehicle,as they may be hazardous.
•Stay out of the roadway and stay out ofthe way of any oncoming traffic whileawaiting the arrival of emergencyresponders.
Post-Incident
•Do not store a severely damaged vehiclewith a lithium-ion battery inside astructure or within 49 ft (15 m) of anystructure or vehicle.
•Make sure that passenger and luggagecompartments remain ventilated.
•Call emergency assistance if you observeleaking fluids, sparks, smoke or flames,or hear gurgling or bubbling from thehigh-voltage battery.
POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM
The system flashes the direction indicatorsand sounds the horn (intermittently) in theevent of a serious impact that deploys anairbag (front, side, side curtain or SafetyCanopy) or the seatbelt pretensioners.
The horn and indicators turn off when:
•You press the hazard control button.
•You press the panic button on the remoteentry transmitter (if equipped).
•Your vehicle runs out of power.
•Sounding of the horn is only enabled inspecific markets.

FUSE SPECIFICATION CHART
Power Distribution Box
WARNING: Always disconnect the
battery before servicing high current fuses.
WARNING: To reduce risk of electricalshock, always replace the cover to the powerdistribution box before reconnecting thebattery or refilling fluid reservoirs.
The power distribution box is in the enginecompartment. It has high-current fuses thatprotect your vehicle's main electrical systemsfrom overloads.
If you disconnect and reconnect the battery,you need to reset some features. SeeChanging the 12V Battery (page 308).
