Brake System
It illuminates when you apply the
parking brake and the ignition is
on. If it illuminates when your
vehicle is moving, make sure the
parking brake is released. If the
parking brake is released, this
indicates low brake fluid level or the brake
system requires service. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
Note: Lamps may vary depending on region.
Door Ajar It illuminates when ignition is on
and remains on if any door is
open.
Electric Park Brake It illuminates or flashes when the
electric parking brake requires
service.
Engine Coolant Temperature If it illuminates, safely stop your
vehicle and switch the vehicle
off.
Fasten Seatbelt It illuminates and a tone sounds
until you fasten the seatbelts.
Hood Ajar It illuminates when ignition is on
and remains on if the hood is
open.
Liftgate Ajar It illuminates when ignition is on
and remains on if the liftgate is
open. Low Fuel Level It illuminates when the fuel level
is low.
Low Tire Pressure Warning It illuminates when your tire
pressure is low. If illuminated,
check your tire pressure as soon
as possible. If it begins to flash at anytime,
have the system checked as soon as
possible.
Low Washer Fluid Level It illuminates when the washer
fluid is low.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp It illuminates when the ignition
is on and the engine is off, this is
normal operation. If it illuminates
when the engine is on this indicates that
the emission control system requires
service. If it flashes, have your vehicle
checked immediately. See Emission Law
(page 467). See Starting and Stopping
the Engine – Warning Lamps (page 164).
Oil Pressure It illuminates when the engine
oil pressure is low.
Powertrain Fault It illuminates when the
powertrain requires service. Have
the system checked as soon as
possible.

PREPARING YOUR VEHICLE
FOR STORAGE
If you plan on storing your vehicle for 30
days or more, the following maintenance
recommendations ensures your vehicle
stays in good operating condition.
Under various conditions, long-term
storage may lead to degraded engine
performance or failure unless you use
specific precautions to preserve your
vehicle.
General
•
Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated
place.
• If vehicles are stored outside, they
require regular maintenance to protect
against rust and weather damage.
• Make sure all linkages, cables, levers
and pins under your vehicle are covered
with grease to prevent rust.
• Move vehicles at least 25 ft (7.5 m)
every 15 days to lubricate working parts
and prevent corrosion.
• Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel
until the first automatic shutoff of the
fuel pump nozzle.
Engine
• Change the engine oil and filter prior to
storage because used engine oil
contains contaminants which may
cause engine damage.
• Start the engine every 15 days for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast
idle with the climate controls set to
defrost until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature.
• With your foot on the brake, shift
through all the gears while the engine
is running. Body
•
Wash your vehicle thoroughly to
remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from
exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housings
and the underside of front fenders.
• Periodically wash your vehicle if it is
stored in exposed locations.
• Touch-up exposed or primed metal to
prevent rust.
• Cover chrome and stainless steel parts
with a thick coat of auto wax to prevent
discoloration. Re-wax as necessary
when you wash your vehicle.
• Lubricate all hood, door and luggage
compartment hinges and latches with
a light grade oil.
• Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
• Keep all rubber parts free from oil and
solvents.
Hybrid Battery Systems
We recommend the following actions for
your vehicle:
• When storing your vehicle for greater
than 30 days the state of charge
should be approximately 50%.
Additionally we recommend
disconnecting the 12V battery which
will reduce system loads on the HV
battery.
12 Volt Battery
• Check and recharge as necessary. Keep
connections clean.
Note: It is necessary to reset memory
features if you disconnect the battery
cables.
Brakes
Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.

Alternative Engine Oil for
Extremely Cold Climates
To improve engine cold start performance,
use the following engine oil in climates
where the ambient temperature reaches
-22.0°F (-30°C) or below.
Materials Specification
Name
WSS-M2C963-A1
Engine Oil - SAE 0W-30 - Synthetic Blend ENGINE OIL CAPACITY AND
SPECIFICATION - 2.7L
ECOBOOST™
Use oil that meets the defined
specification and viscosity grade.
If you do not use oil that meets the defined
specification and viscosity grade, it could
result in:
•
Component damage that your vehicle
warranty does not cover.
• Longer engine cranking periods.
• Increased emission levels.
• Reduced vehicle performance.
• Reduced fuel economy. An oil that displays this symbol conforms
to current engine, emission system and
fuel economy performance standards of
ILSAC.

We recommend Motorcraft motor oil for
your vehicle. If Motorcraft oil is not
available, use motor oils of the
recommended viscosity grade that meet
API SP requirements and display the API
Certification Mark for gasoline engines.
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that your
vehicle warranty does not cover.
