WHAT IS ACTIVE DRIVE
ASSIST
Active drive assist keeps your vehicle
centered in the lane and offers a
hands-free driving mode in certain
situations when using adaptive cruise
control.
HOW DOES ACTIVE DRIVE
ASSIST WORK
Active drive assist uses cameras to monitor
your vehicle position within a lane and
applies steering support to keep your
vehicle centered in the lane.
Using the cameras and location
information, active drive assist allows you
to remove your hands from the steering
wheel and offers a hands-free driving
mode in certain areas.
When active, active drive assist uses a
driver facing camera and infrared lighting
to monitor your eyes and head position to
detect if you are distracted. If the system
determines you are distracted, it alerts you
to return your eyes back to the road.
Camera and lighting areas.
A Note:
When active drive assist is active, in
certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, camera data may be
recorded through the vehicle event data
recorder. See Event Data (page 22).
Note: No data is recorded under normal
driving conditions.
ACTIVE DRIVE ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS 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:
Obstructions to the
driver facing camera or infrared lighting
could prevent the system from properly
operating. Keep the camera and lighting
areas free from obstruction. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
Do not use the system
if any changes or modifications to the
steering wheel have been made. Any
changes or modifications to the steering
wheel could affect the functionality or
performance of the system. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.

System cancellation can also occur if:
•
The lane becomes too narrow.
• The system cannot detect valid lane
markings.
• Lane markings are crossed.
• Your eyes are not on the road or your
hands are not the steering wheel.
If you have your hands on the steering
wheel and your eyes are on the road when
the feature is active and a cancellation
occurs, the system sounds a tone and
displays a cancelled graphic in the
instrument cluster.
If you are not paying attention to the road
or your hands are not on the steering wheel
and a cancellation occurs, the system will
display a message and a tone sounds until
you resume control. If you do not resume
control in time, active drive assist quickly
activates and releases the brakes, and
slows your vehicle down to low speeds
while maintaining steering control. If your
vehicle slows down and you resume
control, a message appears to prompt you
to press the accelerator pedal to allow the
system to resume.
Note: The system disables until the next
key cycle if repeated inactivity is detected.
ACTIVE DRIVE ASSIST
INDICATORS When on, the color of the
indicator changes to indicate the
status.

COLD WEATHER
PRECAUTIONS
The functional operation of some
components and systems can be affected
at temperatures below approximately
-13°F (-25°C).
DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE WARNING:
If you are driving in
slippery conditions that require tire
chains or cables, then it is critical that
you drive cautiously. Keep speeds down,
allow for longer stopping distances and
avoid aggressive steering to reduce the
chances of a loss of vehicle control
which can lead to serious injury or death.
If the rear end of your vehicle slides while
cornering, steer in the direction of the
slide until you regain control of your
vehicle.
On ice and snow, you should drive more
slowly than usual. Your vehicle has a four
wheel anti-lock brake system, do not pump
the brake pedal.
See Anti-Lock Braking
System Limitations (page 187).
BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for
approximately
300 mi (480 km). During
this time, your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.
PERFORMANCE VEHICLE
PRECAUTIONS
• Verify correct tire pressures.
• Inspect wheels and tires for wear and
damage. Replace any damaged wheels
or tires. •
Do not operate your vehicle at high
speeds with more than two passengers
or while carrying cargo.
• It is recommended to cross speed
bumps or driveway inclines slowly and
at a
45° angle to reduce the risk of
vehicle damage.
• Do not drive through car washes with
the vehicle heavily loaded with
passengers or luggage.
• Use only commercial car washes
without mechanical tracks or hand
wash to avoid potential damage.
• Put your vehicle in stay in neutral mode
when entering an automatic car wash.
See
What Is Temporary Neutral
Mode (page 184).
DRIVING IN SPECIAL
CONDITIONS
EMERGENCY MANEUVERS
In an unavoidable emergency where you
must make a sudden sharp maneuver, turn
the steering wheel only as rapidly and as
far as required to avoid the emergency.
Apply smooth pressure to the accelerator
pedal or brake pedal as needed. Avoid
abrupt steering, acceleration and braking
changes. Abrupt changes could increase
the risk of vehicle roll over, loss of vehicle
control and personal injury. If possible, use
any available road surfaces to bring your
vehicle under control.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE
MAXIMIZING YOUR DRIVING
RANGE
Driving in Cold Weather
Keep your vehicle charged before heading
out into cold weather.
Use the heated seats and steering wheel
for comfort along with moderate cabin
temperature and fan settings to reduce
energy needed for climate control.
Preconditioning Your Vehicle
You can precondition your vehicle by using
departure and comfort settings to warm
or cool your cabin and the high voltage
battery when your vehicle is plugged in. By
using energy from your charging source
prior to your departure, battery
temperature can be managed for best
driving performance and less energy will
be needed for heating or cooling of the
cabin at the start of your drive. This helps
maximize your driving range. See Setting
the Charging Schedule and Preferences
(page 174).
Note: You can also access departure and
comfort settings using the FordPass App.
Note: Lower cabin temperature settings on
the climate control system results in better
trip range.
Parking Your Vehicle
At temperatures just above the freezing
point and lower, plug your vehicle in when
not in use to maintain high voltage battery
performance.
When possible park your vehicle under a
covered area or in a garage. This will help
to moderate temperatures which affect
performance of the high voltage battery
and require energy to heat or cool the
cabin. Driving Style
Range is reduced when driving aggressively
or at consistently high speeds. Aggressive
driving for extended periods could also
result in reducing your battery
’s efficiency
and lifespan. Use the trip application on
your touchscreen to see your driving scores.
See
Trip Data (page 124).
DRIVING THROUGH SHALLOW
WATER WARNING:
Do not attempt to
cross a deep or flowing body of water.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.
Note: Driving through standing water can
cause vehicle damage.
Before driving through standing water,
check the depth. Never drive through water
that is higher than the bottom of the front
rocker area of your vehicle. When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction could
be limited. After driving through water and
as soon as it is safe to do so:
