ROOF RACKS AND LOAD
CARRIERS
WARNING: When loading the roofracks, we recommend you evenlydistribute the load, as well as maintaina low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles,with higher centers of gravity, mayhandle differently than unloadedvehicles. Take extra precautions, suchas slower speeds and increased stoppingdistance, when driving a heavily loadedvehicle.
Maximum recommended load, evenlydistributed on the crossbars:
WeightTiresEngine
15 lbs (6.8Kg)16"1.0 LEcoboost
44 lbs (20Kg)17"1.0 LEcoboost
55 lbs (25Kg)-2.0 L 4WD
Note: Loads should never be placeddirectly on the roof panel.
The roof panel is not designed to directlycarry a load.
For proper function of the roof rack system,loads must be placed directly on crossbarsaffixed to the roof rack side rails. Yourvehicle may be equipped withfactory-installed crossbars. Ford GenuineAccessory crossbars, designed specificallyfor your vehicle, are also recommended foruse with your roof rack system.
Make sure that the load is securelyfastened. Check the tightness of the loadbefore driving and at each fuel stop.
Adjusting the Crossbar (If Equipped)
Note:Wind noise can be minimized byeither removing or repositioning the crossbarwhen not is use. Position the front crossbarin the intermediate position to minimizewind noise. The crossbar can be adjustedor removed using the steps below.

1.Remove the crossbar thumbwheels atboth sides of the crossbar by turningthem counterclockwise.
2.Remove the crossbar by rotating itclockwise and sliding the ends off ofthe shoulder bolts in the side rails.
3.Move the front crossbar to the new siderail position and slide the crossbar ontothe shoulder bolt at that position.
4.Replace and tighten the thumbwheelsat both sides of the crossbar by turningthem clockwise until tight.
Make sure to check that the thumbwheelsare tight each time load is added orremoved from the roof rack, andperiodically while traveling. Make sure thatthe load is secure before traveling.
LOAD LIMIT
Vehicle Loading - with andwithout a Trailer
This section guides you in theproper loading of your vehicle,trailer, or both. Keep your loadedvehicle weight within its designrating capability, with or withouta trailer. Properly loading your
vehicle provides maximum returnof vehicle design performance.
Before you load your vehicle,become familiar with thefollowing terms for determiningyour vehicle’s weight rating, withor without a trailer, from thevehicle’s Tire and LoadingInformation label or SafetyCompliance Certification label.
Tire and Loading Label InformationExample:
Payload
Payload is the combined weightof cargo and passengers that yourvehicle is carrying. The maximumpayload for your vehicle appearson the Tire and Loading label. Thelabel is either on the B-pillar or the

Suppose your vehicle has a1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargoand luggage capacity. You andone of your friends decide to pickup cement from the local homeimprovement store to finish thatpatio you have been planning forthe past two years. Measuring theinside of the vehicle with the rearseat folded down, you have roomfor twelve 100-pound(45-kilogram) bags of cement. Doyou have enough load capacity totransport the cement to yourhome? If you and your friend eachweigh 220 pounds (99 kilograms),the calculation would be: 1400 -(2 x 220) - (12 x 100) = 1400 - 440- 1200 = - 240 pounds. No, you donot have enough cargo capacityto carry that much weight. Inmetric units, the calculation wouldbe: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99kilograms) - (12 x 45 kilograms) =635 - 198 - 540 = -103 kilograms.You will need to reduce the loadweight by at least 240 pounds(104 kilograms). If you removethree 100-pound (45-kilogram)cement bags, then the loadcalculation would be:1400 - (2 x220) - (9 x 100) = 1400 - 440 -900 = 60 pounds. Now you havethe load capacity to transport thecement and your friend home. Inmetric units, the calculation wouldbe: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99kilograms) - (9 x 45 kilograms) =635 - 198 - 405 = 32 kilograms.
The above calculations alsoassume that the loads arepositioned in your vehicle in amanner that does not overloadthe front or the rear gross axleweight rating specified for yourvehicle on the Safety ComplianceCertification label.

•Cover the battery, power distributionbox, and air filter assembly to preventwater damage when cleaning theengine.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmentalfallout can result in windshield and wiperblade contamination. Dirty windshield andwipers will result in poor windshield wiperoperation. Keep the windshield and wiperblades clean to maintain windshield wiperperformance.
To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
•Clean the windshield with anon-abrasive glass cleaner. Whencleaning the interior of the windshield,avoid getting any glass cleaner on theinstrument panel or door panels. Wipeany glass cleaner off these surfacesimmediately.
•For windshields contaminated withtree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, cleanthe entire windshield using steel wool(no greater than 0000 grade) in acircular motion and rinse with water.
•Clean the wiper blades with isopropylrubbing alcohol or windshield washerconcentrate.
Note: Do not use razor blades or othersharp objects to clean or remove decalsfrom the inside of the heated rear window.The vehicle warranty does not coverdamage caused to the heated rear windowgrid lines.
