HEADLAMPS –
TROUBLESHOOTING
HEADLAMPS – FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is there condensation in the
headlamps?
Headlamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure. Condensation can be a
natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp
assembly through the vents, there is a
possibility that condensation can
occur when the temperature is cold.
When normal condensation occurs, a
fine mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The fine mist eventually clears
and exits through the vents during
normal operation.
How much condensation is
acceptable? The presence of a fine mist, for
example no streaks, drip marks or
large droplets. A fine mist covers less
than 50% of the lens.
How long may it take for the
acceptable condensation to be
cleared? Clearing time may take as long as 48
hours under dry weather conditions.
How much condensation is
unacceptable? A water puddle inside the lamp.
Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
What should I do if unacceptable
condensation is present? Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. Why do my headlamps turn off when I
have them switched on when I switch
my vehicle off?
The battery saver turns the headlamps
off after a short period of time after
you switch your vehicle off.
AUTOLAMPS
WHAT ARE AUTOLAMPS WARNING: The system does not
relieve you of your responsibility to drive
with due care and attention. You may
need to override the system if it does not
turn the headlamps on in low visibility
conditions, for example daytime fog.
Autolamps turn the headlamps on in low
light situations or when the windshield
wipers operate.

The instrument cluster display can
be customized to display information in
several different layouts. Maximum zone
complexity shown. Range display area.

J
WHAT IS THE SPEEDOMETER
Indicates the vehicle speed. WHAT IS THE VEHICLE RANGE
DISPLAY
Displays the approximate range your
vehicle can travel on the battery power
that remains. Estimates vary based on the
energy used when driving and the energy
available in the high voltage battery.

2021 Mustang Mach-E (CGW) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 07-06-2021, enUSA, Edition date: 202104, First-Printing Instrument ClusterE323745

The amount of energy being used when
driving is affected by:
•
Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Your vehicle's speed.
• Use of accessories, such as climate
control.
• Ambient temperature and weather
conditions.
• Driving in a city or on a highway.
• Driving on flat or hilly roads.
The available energy capacity in the high
voltage battery is affected by cold
temperatures and battery degradation.
See Preserving Your High Voltage
Battery (page 157).
When your navigation system has an active
route the distance to your destination or
next charging station is also displayed.
Note: It is normal for vehicle range
estimates to vary due to changes in average
energy usage and battery temperature. This
could cause different range estimates each
time you fully charge your battery. See
Maximizing Your Driving Range (page 282
).
Note: When you leave your vehicle
unplugged, it periodically uses energy from
the high voltage battery to recharge the
12-volt accessory battery, resulting in
reduction in vehicle driving range.
WHAT IS THE HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERY GAUGE
Displays the high voltage battery state of
charge in the form of a gauge or a
percentage. A full fill or 100% charge
represents the total amount of energy you
can get from plugging your vehicle in.
The gauge is normally blue. When a low
battery condition is reached the gauge is
amber. When the battery is depleted the
gauge is red. When the full battery gauge is displayed
and your navigation system has an active
route, a symbol is added that represents
the battery charge level needed to reach
your destination or next charging station.
Charging Status
Additional charge information displays
when you power on your vehicle without
pressing the brake pedal and your vehicle
is plugged in. Charging status includes the
charge start or charge end time as
appropriate. When DC charging, the time
at 80% displays followed by the time at
100%. You can modify your vehicle charge
settings on the information and
entertainment display. See
Setting the
Charging Schedule and Preferences
(page
174).
Charge Required to Reach Destination
When the navigation system has an active
route, the instrument cluster displays the
charge level required in order to reach your
destination and the time when that charge
level is available.
WHAT ARE THE INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER WARNING LAMPS
Warning lamps alert you to a vehicle
condition that could become serious.
Some lamps illuminate when you start
your vehicle to make sure they work. If any
lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,
refer to the respective system warning
lamp for further information.
