AUTO-START-STOP
WARNING: Apply the parking
brake, shift into park (P), switch the
ignition off and remove the key before
you leave your vehicle. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury or death. WARNING:
Apply the parking
brake, shift into park (P), switch the
ignition off and remove the key before
you open the hood or have any service
or repair work completed. If you do not
switch the ignition off, the engine could
restart at any time. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
Principle of Operation
The system is designed to help reduce fuel
consumption and CO 2 emissions by
stopping the engine when it is idling, for
example at traffic lights. Your vehicle has
an enhanced starter motor that is designed
for an increased number of engine starts.
The system does not stop the engine under
certain conditions, for example:
• If you have opened the driver door.
• If you have unfastened the driver
seatbelt.
• If your vehicle is at high altitude.
• If you have switched the heated
windshield on.
• If you have shifted into manual (M).
• If your vehicle is on a steep grade.
• If the engine is warming up.
• If the outside temperature is too low
or too high. •
If the battery charge is low or the
battery temperature is outside the
optimal operating range.
• To maintain the interior climate or
reduce fogging.
• If you have turned the steering more
than 270 degrees.
The system restarts the engine under
certain conditions, for example:
• If you have opened the driver door.
• If you have unfastened the driver
seatbelt.
• If you switch the heated windshield on.
• If you switch maximum defrost on.
• If you turn the steering wheel.
• If your vehicle starts to roll downhill in
neutral.
• To maintain adequate brake
assistance.
• To maintain the interior climate or
reduce fogging.
Note: The blower motor speed could
change when the system restarts the engine.
Using Auto-Start-Stop
Stopping the Engine
Stop your vehicle and keep your foot on
the brake pedal and the transmission in
drive (D).
Note: The engine stops if you shift into park
(P) or neutral (N) regardless of whether you
have your foot on the brake pedal or not.
Note: Power assist steering turns off when
the engine is off.
Restarting the Engine
• Release the brake pedal.
• Press the accelerator pedal.
• Shift into drive (D), reverse (R) or
manual (M).

USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL
WARNING: Always pay close
attention to changing road conditions
when using adaptive cruise control. The
system does not replace attentive
driving. Failing to pay attention to the
road may result in a crash, serious injury
or death. WARNING:
You are responsible
for controlling your vehicle at all times.
The system is designed to be an aid and
does not relieve you of your responsibility
to drive with due care and attention.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING: Adaptive cruise control
may not detect stationary or slow
moving vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h). WARNING:
Do not use adaptive
cruise control on winding roads, in heavy
traffic or when the road surface is
slippery. This could result in loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death. WARNING:
Do not use the system
when towing a trailer that has
aftermarket electronic trailer brake
controls. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING: Adaptive cruise control
is not a crash warning or avoidance
system. WARNING: Adaptive cruise control
does not detect pedestrians or objects
in the road. WARNING: Adaptive cruise control
does not detect oncoming vehicles in the
same lane. WARNING:
Do not use the system
in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow. WARNING:
Do not use tire sizes
other than those recommended because
this can affect the normal operation of
the system. Failure to do so may result
in a loss of vehicle control, which could
result in serious injury.
The system helps you to maintain a gap
from the vehicle in front of you. The
system adjusts your vehicle speed to
maintain the set gap between you and the
vehicle in front of you in the same lane.
The system applies the brakes to slow your
vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance
from the vehicle in front.
The system uses a radar sensor which
projects a beam directly in front of your
vehicle.
The adaptive cruise controls are on the
steering wheel.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control
On Press and release the switch.
The information display shows the grey
indicator light. The system is now in
standby.

If your vehicle loses electrical power while
you are driving, electric power steering
assistance is lost. The steering system still
operates and you can steer your vehicle
manually. Manually steering your vehicle
requires more effort.
Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort required for you to steer your
vehicle, this increased effort prevents
overheating and permanent damage to
the steering system. You do not lose the
ability to steer your vehicle manually.
Typical steering and driving maneuvers
allow the system to cool and return to
normal operation.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•
Correct tire pressures.
• Uneven tire wear.
• Loose or worn suspension
components.
• Loose or worn steering components.
• Improper vehicle alignment.
Note: A high crown in the road or high
crosswinds may also make the steering
seem to wander or pull.
Adaptive Learning (If Equipped)
The electronic power steering system
adaptive learning helps correct road
irregularities and improves overall handling
and steering feel. It communicates with
the brake system to help operate
advanced stability control and accident
avoidance systems. Additionally, whenever
the battery is disconnected or a new
battery installed, you must drive your
vehicle a short distance before the system
relearns the strategy and reactivates all
systems. PRE-COLLISION ASSIST WARNING:
You are responsible
for controlling your vehicle at all times.
The system is designed to be an aid and
does not relieve you of your responsibility
to drive with due care and attention.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead
to a crash or personal injury. WARNING:
The system may fail
or operate with reduced function during
cold and severe weather conditions.
Snow, ice, rain, spray and fog can
adversely affect the system. Keep the
front camera and radar free of snow and
ice. Failure to take care may result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if your vehicle has a
non-Ford windshield. Do not carry out
windshield repairs in the area around the
sensor. WARNING: In situations where the
vehicle camera has limited detection
capability, this may reduce system
performance. These situations include
but are not limited to direct or low
sunlight, vehicles at night without tail
lights, unconventional vehicle types,
pedestrians with complex backgrounds,
