STEERING
To help prevent damage to the power
steering system:
•
Never hold the steering wheel at its
furthest turning points (until it stops)
for more than three to five seconds
when the engine is running.
• Do not operate the vehicle with a low
hydraulic fluid level. See Power
Steering Fluid Check (page 163).
• Some noise is normal during operation.
If excessive, check for low hydraulic
fluid level before seeking service by
your dealer.
• Heavy or uneven efforts may be caused
by low hydraulic fluid. Check for low
hydraulic fluid level before seeking
service by your dealer.
• Do not over fill the hydraulic fluid as
this may result in leaks from the
reservoir. See
Power Steering Fluid
Check (page 163).
If the power steering system breaks down
(or if the engine is off), you can manually
steer the vehicle, but it takes more effort.
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
• An improperly inflated tire.
• Uneven tire wear.
• Loose or worn suspension
components.
• Loose or worn steering components.
• Improper vehicle alignment.
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds
may also make the steering seem to
wander or pull. DRIVE MODE CONTROL
Drive Mode Selection
Your vehicle has five selectable drive
modes that deliver an enhanced driving
experience through a suite of sophisticated
electronic vehicle systems. In response to
vehicle use and driving conditions, the
selection of the drive mode optimizes
handling and powertrain response. This
provides a single location to control
multiple systems performance settings.
Using Selectable Drive Modes
To change the drive mode setting, use the
rotary switch on the left side of the steering
wheel.
Note:
To engage or disengage Track or
V-Max Drive Modes, the car must be at a
stop with the transmission in park (P) and
the engine running. This is necessary since
the vehicle ride height changes. You can
change between Normal, Wet and Sport
Drive Modes while the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING: Do not allow the fluid
to touch your skin or eyes. If this
happens, rinse the affected areas
immediately with plenty of water and
contact your physician. WARNING:
A fluid level between
the MAX and MIN lines is within the
normal operating range and there is no
need to add fluid. A fluid level not in the
normal operating range could
compromise the performance of the
system. Have your vehicle checked
immediately. To avoid fluid contamination, the reservoir
cap must remain in place and fully tight,
unless you are adding fluid.
Only use fluid that meets Ford
specifications. See
Capacities and
Specifications (page 205). POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK
The hydraulic fluid reservoir is under the
hood. The fluid is used for power steering,
active aerodynamics and the active
hydraulic suspension. Keep the fluid level
between MIN and MAX marks as shown
on the reservoir.
Note:
This procedure must be followed to
prevent over filling of the reservoir.
1. Start the engine and make sure that the steering wheel is at the straight
ahead position. Do not move the
steering wheel after this time.
2. Allow the engine to idle in Park for 2 minutes then shut the engine off.
3. After the engine has been off for 5 minutes, check the hydraulic fluid level
in the reservoir.
4. The MIN / MAX marks are on the front face of the reservoir. If the level is
above the MIN line on the reservoir DO
NOT add fluid.
5. If the level is below the MIN line, add only enough fluid to bring the level to
a point between the MIN and MAX
lines.
6. DO NOT add fluid past the MAX line.
