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).

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

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.
