AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PRECAUTIONS
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).
REVERSE (R) WARNING:
Move the transmission
selector lever to reverse (R) only when
your vehicle is stationary.
This position allows your vehicle to move
backward. Come to a complete stop
before shifting into and out of reverse (R).
NEUTRAL (N) WARNING:
In neutral (N) your
vehicle is free to roll.
This position allows your vehicle to roll
free. Hold the brake pedal down when in
this position.
Note: You can start your vehicle in this
position.
DRIVE (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position, and
allows your vehicle to move forward.
183
2021 Mustang Mach-E (CGW) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 07-06-2021, enUSA, Edition date: 202104, First-Printing Automatic Transmission

LOW (L)
You can activate this position at any
vehicle speed which provides an increased
level of deceleration when you lift off the
accelerator pedal. You can use low (L) at
all times, if desired, but improving
drivability while descending grades is the
intent. Entering low (L) does not take any
actions if one pedal drive is active.
SHIFTING YOUR VEHICLE INTO
GEAR
Your vehicle has an electronic transmission
selector. The transmission selector is on
the center console. The gears are selected
by rotating the transmission selector to
PRNDL.
• Park (P)
• Reverse (R)
• Neutral (N)
• Drive (D)
• Low (L)
Putting your vehicle in gear:
1. Fully press down the brake pedal.
2. Rotate the gear selector knob to the desired gear mode you want to select.
3. The gear selector will indicate the position selected. 4. Release the brake pedal and your
transmission remains in the selected
gear.
Note: Your gear selector knob can rotate
clockwise past drive (D), but the gear
selection will stay in Drive (D). Your gear
selector can rotate counter-clockwise past
park (P) with the brake pressed, but the gear
selector will stay in park (P).
Note: If you attempt to leave your vehicle
when it is in gear, your vehicle automatically
shifts into park (P).
See How Does
Automatic Return to Park (P) Work (page
185
).
TEMPORARY NEUTRAL MODE
WHAT IS TEMPORARY NEUTRAL
MODE
This mode keeps your vehicle in neutral
(N) when you switch your vehicle off. Use
this mode if you exit your vehicle or switch
your vehicle off at an automatic car wash.
Note: Do not tow your vehicle in this mode.
Note: Automatic return to park (P) is
delayed when your vehicle is in this mode.
See
What Is Automatic Return to Park
(P) (page 185).
TEMPORARY NEUTRAL MODE
LIMITATIONS
Your vehicle could shift to park (P) after
30 minutes, or when the vehicle battery
charge level is low. Prolonged use of this
mode can cause the vehicle battery to run
out of charge.
Do not tow your vehicle in this mode.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in vehicle damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty.

the door ajar switch is malfunctioning.
See an authorized dealer if any of the
following occur:

WHAT IS ONE PEDAL DRIVE
One pedal drive allows you to accelerate
and brake using only the accelerator pedal.
Pressing the accelerator down accelerates
your vehicle, releasing pressure on the
accelerator with your foot still on the pedal
slows down your vehicle and releasing the
pedal completely allows your vehicle to
come to a complete stop.
ONE PEDAL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: This system is an extra
driving aid. It does not replace your
attention and judgment, or the need to
apply the brakes. This system does NOT
automatically brake your vehicle. If you
fail to press the brake pedal when
necessary, you may collide with another
vehicle.
Shifting into neutral (N) does not hold your
vehicle at a standstill.
Shifting into drive (D) or reverse (R) does
not cause the vehicle to move.
Note: Always check the transmission
selection before accelerating.
ONE PEDAL DRIVE
LIMITATIONS
One pedal drive is unavailable when any
of the following occur:
• Shifting into an incorrect transmission
position, such as park (P) when driving.
• Using active park assist.
• Using cruise control.
Releasing the accelerator pedal may not
bring your vehicle to a complete stop at
high speeds and steep grades. SWITCHING ONE PEDAL DRIVE
ON AND OFF
1. Access the vehicle drawer on the
touchscreen.
2. Press
CONTROLS.
3. Press
Drive Modes.
4. Switch
1-Pedal Drive on or off.
ONE PEDAL DRIVE
INDICATORS When one pedal drive is active,
the indicator displays in the
instrument cluster.

Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
•
It may be necessary to increase the
coolant concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60%
provides improved freeze point
protection.
• Coolant concentrations above 60%
decrease the overheat protection
characteristics of the coolant and may
cause damage to the electric motor.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
• You can decrease the coolant
concentration to 40%.
• A coolant concentration of 40%
provides improved overheat protection.
• Coolant concentrations below 40%
decrease the overheat and corrosion
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause damage to the
electric motor.
Coolant Change
Change the coolant at specific mileage
intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information. Add prediluted
coolant approved to the correct
specification. See Cooling System
Capacity and Specification (page 344).
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID CHECK
If required, have an authorized dealer check
and change the transmission fluid at the
correct service interval. See
Scheduled
Maintenance (page 390).
The automatic transmission does not have
a transmission fluid dipstick. Refer to your scheduled maintenance
information for scheduled intervals for fluid
checks and changes. Your transmission
does not consume fluid. However, if you
notice a sign of leaking fluid, contact an
authorized dealer.
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials may
affect transmission operation and result
in damage to internal transmission
components.
12V BATTERY
CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY
If the 12 volt battery needs servicing, see
your authorized dealer.
CHARGING THE 12V BATTERY
Your vehicle has a high voltage to low
voltage energy transfer feature that keeps
the 12 volt battery charged by the high
voltage battery. If the 12 volt battery level
is low, the high voltage battery transfers
energy to the 12 volt battery when the
vehicle is off.
12V BATTERY –
TROUBLESHOOTING
12V BATTERY – WARNING LAMPS
If it illuminates when the green
ready to drive indicator is
activated, this indicates your
vehicle requires service. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
