REMOVING YOUR VEHICLE
FROM STORAGE
When your vehicle is ready to come out of
storage, do the following:
• We recommend that you change the engine oil before you use your vehicle
again.
• Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt or grease film build-up on window
surfaces.
• Check windshield wipers for any deterioration.
• Check under the hood for any foreign material that may have collected
during storage such as mice or squirrel
nests.
• Check the exhaust for any foreign material that may have collected
during storage.
• Check tire pressures and set tire inflation per the Tire Label.
• Check brake pedal operation. Drive your vehicle 15 ft (4.5 m) back and
forth to remove rust build-up. • Check fluid levels (including coolant,
oil and gas) to make sure there are no
leaks, and fluids are at recommended
levels.
• If you remove the battery, clean the battery cable ends and check for
damage.
Contact an authorized dealer if you have
any concerns or issues.

Capacities and Specifications
• Drive Power: The engine is on due toaccelerator pedal pressure or speed
control activation. Reduce pressure on
the accelerator pedal or switch off the
speed control to return to full electric
mode.
• High Speed: The engine is on because the vehicle speed exceeds the level for
full electric operation. Reduce the
speed to return to electric operation.
• Heater Setting: The engine is on because of the heater setting. Reduce
or turn off the heater setting to return
to electric operation.
• Neutral Gear: The engine is on because the vehicle is in Neutral (N). Shift out
of neutral gear to return to electric
operation.
• Engine Cold: The engine is on because it is cold. The vehicle returns to electric
operation once the engine is sufficiently
warm.
• Battery Charging: The engine is on to charge the high-voltage battery. The
vehicle returns to electric operation
once the battery is charged.
• Low Gear: The engine is on because the vehicle is in low gear. Shift out of
low gear to return to electric operation.
• Normal Operation: The engine is on to optimize vehicle operation. The vehicle
returns to electric operation when
possible.
• Low Use: The engine is on to maintain engine oil quality. The vehicle returns
to electric operation when low engine
use mode is complete. See How Does
Low Engine Use Mode Work (page
182). • Engine Braking Active: The engine is on
to provide increased powertrain
braking. This can occur when you turn
on the grade assist feature, when
speed control is on or when driving with
your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Turning off grade assist or speed
control may allow the vehicle to return
to electric operation.
• Battery Temperature: The engine is on due to high or low high-voltage battery
temperature. This is a normal operating
condition. The vehicle returns to
electric operation when possible.
• Drive Mode: The engine is on due to the drive mode selection. Select an
appropriate drive mode for electric only
operation.
Charge Settings

screen or under Vehicle Settings. To
Improve your charging experience, your
vehicle has the following convenience
features.
Charge Times
Once you set up Charge Times for a
specific charging location, your vehicle
prioritizes charging based on your preferred
time settings. You can set two preferred
charging time windows for weekdays and
two for weekends. This feature allows you
to take advantage of electric utility rate
plans that offer lower pricing during certain
times of day. Contact your utility company
to see what plans are available.
Note: You can also set up and use these
features using the FordPass app.
