Note: When the handle is properly engaged
the light ring illuminates. This indicates the
beginning of a normal charge cycle. Note:
There could be a delay in light ring
illumination due to vehicle internal
communications.
Information about public charge stations
is available through the in-vehicle screen
as well as the FordPass app with pricing,
power levels, and real time availability.
Rates for charging varies by power level,
provider, location, and time of day.
When charging your vehicle at a FordPass
Charging Network station, use the
FordPass App to activate and pay for
charging. You can also just plug in to
activate charging at Plug & Charge capable
stations. If the charging station is not in the
FordPass Charging Network, use the
directions on the charge station to activate
the charger.

CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE
HINTS
We recommend limiting the amount of DC
charges, and ending DC charges at 80%
state of charge as charging between 80
and 100% can incur high charging costs
due to the time to completion. Frequent
use of DC charging could result in reducing
your battery ’s efficiency and lifespan. This
is more pronounced on the standard range
battery pack versus the extended range
battery pack. In cold temperatures, you may notice that
DC charging takes longer when the
ambient temperature drops below 50°F
(10°C). Shutting off climate control or
reducing climate control temperature and
fan settings for the first 10 to 15 minutes of
DC charging will allow the battery to warm
up and improve the charging rate.
Note: When the temperature is below
freezing, fully turning off cabin heat for the
first 10 to 15 minutes of DC charging could
significantly improve the charging rate.

WARNING: When your vehicle is
stationary, keep the brake pedal fully
pressed when shifting gears. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury, death or property
damage. WARNING:
Do not apply the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit power, which may
result in difficulty maintaining speed in
traffic and could lead to serious injury. WARNING:
Apply the parking
brake, shift into park (P), switch the
vehicle off and remove the key or remote
control before you leave your vehicle.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death.
Note: You may not be able to shift out of
park (P) unless the intelligent access key is
inside your vehicle.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
POSITIONS
PARK (P) WARNING:
Move the transmission
selector lever to park (P) only when your
vehicle is stationary.
This position locks the driveline and
prevents the wheels from turning. Come
to a complete stop before putting your
vehicle into and out of park (P). A tone
sounds when you shift to park (P). The electric parking brake could apply
when you shift to park (P) without the
brake pedal fully pressed. The electric
parking brake applies when you shift to
park (P) on large slopes. The electric
parking brake releases with the drive away
release function or manually. See Electric
Parking Brake
(page 190).
Note: A warning tone sounds if you open
the driver door and you have not shifted the
transmission selector to park (P).

HOW DOES ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
WORK
The all-wheel drive system is designed to
continuously monitor and adjust power
delivery to the front and rear wheels to
optimize both traction and handling.
There is further information on driving in
unique driving conditions. See Driving
Hints (page 280). ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
Do not become
overconfident in the ability of all-wheel
drive vehicles. Although an all-wheel
drive vehicle may accelerate better than
a two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction
situations, it won't stop any faster than
two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive
at a safe speed.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
LIMITATIONS
The all-wheel drive system is not intended
for use with mismatched tires.
Different tire sizes between the front and
rear axles can cause system damage.

BRAKE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Driving your vehicle
with the warning lamp on is dangerous.
A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It may take you
longer to stop your vehicle. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Driving extended distances with the
parking brake engaged can cause brake
failure and the risk of personal injury.
Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a
few times when driving from a car wash or
standing water to dry the brakes.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
The anti-lock braking system does not
eliminate the risk of crash when:
• You drive too closely to the vehicle in
front of you.
• Your vehicle is hydroplaning.
• You take corners too fast.
• The road surface is poor.
Note: If the system activates, the brake
pedal could pulse and could travel further.
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.
