DRIVING THROUGH MUD ANDWATER
Mud
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehiclespeed or direction when you are driving inmud. Even all-wheel drive and four-wheeldrive vehicles can lose traction in mud. Ifyour vehicle slides, steer in the direction ofthe slide until you regain control of yourvehicle. After driving through mud, cleanoff residue stuck to rotating driveshaftsand tires. Excess residue can cause animbalance that could damage drivecomponents.
Note:If your vehicle gets stuck in mud, itcould be rocked out by shifting betweenforward and reverse gears, stoppingbetween shifts in a steady pattern. Presslightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Water
If you must drive through water approachit cautiously. See Driving ThroughShallow Water (page 303).
DRIVING ON HILLY OR SLOPINGTERRAIN
Although natural obstacles could make itnecessary to travel diagonally up or downa hill or steep incline, you should try to drivestraight up or straight down.
Note:Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills.A danger lies in losing traction, slippingsideways and possible vehicle roll over.Whenever driving on a hill, determinebeforehand the route you can use. Do notdrive over the crest of a hill without seeingwhat conditions are on the other side. Donot drive in reverse over a hill without theaid of an observer.
Apply just enough power to the wheels toclimb the hill. Too much power causes thetires to slip, spin or lose traction, and youcould lose control of your vehicle. Whendescending a steep hill, do not descendthe hill in neutral. Avoid sudden hardbraking to keep the front wheels rolling andto maintain your vehicle's steering.
Note:Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes,apply the brakes steadily. Do not pump thebrakes.
DRIVING IN SAND
When driving over sand, try to keep all fourwheels on the most solid area of the trail.Shift to a lower gear and drive steadilythrough the terrain. Apply the acceleratorslowly and avoid excessive wheel slip. Donot drive your vehicle in deep sand for anextended period of time. This couldoverheat the system. A message appearsin the information display. See All-WheelDrive – Information Messages (page196).
Note:If your vehicle gets stuck in sand, itcould be rocked out by shifting betweenforward and reverse gears, stoppingbetween shifts in a steady pattern. Presslightly on the accelerator in each gear.

Preconditioning Your Vehicle
You can precondition your vehicle by usingdeparture and comfort settings to warmor cool your cabin and the high voltagebattery when your vehicle is plugged in. Byusing energy from your charging sourceprior to your departure, batterytemperature can be managed for bestdriving performance and less energy willbe needed for heating or cooling of thecabin at the start of your drive. This helpsmaximize your driving range. See Settingthe Charging Schedule and Preferences(page 184).
Note:You can also access departure andcomfort settings using the FordPass App.
Note:Lower cabin temperature settings onthe climate control system results in bettertrip range.
Parking Your Vehicle
At temperatures just above the freezingpoint and lower, plug your vehicle in whennot in use to maintain high voltage batteryperformance.
When possible park your vehicle under acovered area or in a garage. This will helpto moderate temperatures which affectperformance of the high voltage batteryand require energy to heat or cool thecabin.
Driving Style
Range is reduced when driving aggressivelyor at consistently high speeds. Aggressivedriving for extended periods could alsoresult in reducing your battery’s efficiencyand lifespan. Use the trip application onyour touchscreen to see your driving scores.See Trip Data (page 133).
DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER
Pack a small supply kit with a 12 V jumpbox, blanket, snow scraper and glovesduring winter.
We recommend winter tires with sufficienttread depth for traction.
Clear snow and ice from the roof, hood, allwindows and mirrors. Remove piled upsnow or ice from the wipers and washernozzles. Allow time for windows to defrostand interior controls to warm up beforedriving.
Preconditioning Your Vehicle
You can precondition your vehicle to warmor cool the cabin and the high voltagebattery when you have your vehicleplugged in. You can charge your vehicle tothe targeted level and also make sure yourvehicle is at a comfortable temperaturefor the occupants.
Note:You can precondition your vehicleprior to your departure using the FordPassapp.
Keep your vehicle fully charged beforeheading out into cold weather.
Note:Using seat heaters is more efficientfor warming occupants than using the heatfrom the climate control.
Note:Lower cabin temperature settings onthe climate control system results in bettertrip range.
DRIVING THROUGH SHALLOW
WATER
WARNING: Do not attempt tocross a deep or flowing body of water.Failure to follow this instruction couldresult in the loss of control of yourvehicle, personal injury or death.
