POST-COLLISION BRAKING
How Does Post-Collision BrakingWork
In the event of a moderate to severe crash,the braking system reduces the vehicle’sspeed to prevent or reduce the impact ofa potential secondary crash.
Post-Collision Braking Limitations
Post-collision braking does not activate ifany of the following occur:
•The anti-lock braking system isdamaged during the collision.
•Electronic stability control is disabled.
Overriding Post-Collision Braking
You can override post-collision braking bypressing the brake or accelerator pedal.
Post-Collision Braking Indicators
It flashes when a post-collisionbraking event is occurring.
AUTOMATIC CRASH SHUTOFF
WHAT IS AUTOMATIC CRASHSHUTOFF
The automatic crash shutoff is designedto stop the fuel going to the engine in theevent of a moderate or severe crash.
Note:Not every impact causes a shutoff.
AUTOMATIC CRASH SHUTOFFPRECAUTIONS
WARNING: If your vehicle has beeninvolved in a crash, have the fuel systemchecked. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in fire, personal injury ordeath.
RE-ENABLING YOUR VEHICLE
1.Switch the ignition off.
2.Attempt to start your vehicle.
3.Switch the ignition off.
4.Attempt to start your vehicle.
Note:If your vehicle does not start after thethird attempt, have your vehicle checked assoon as possible.

Note:Coolants marketed for all makes andmodels may not be approved to Fordspecifications and may damage the coolingsystem. Resulting component damage maynot be covered by the vehicle warranty.
If the coolant level is at or below theminimum mark, add prediluted coolantimmediately.
Top up the coolant level as follows:
1.Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressureescapes as you unscrew the cap.
2.Add prediluted coolant approved tothe correct specification. SeeCapacities and Specifications (page226).
3.Add enough prediluted coolant toreach the correct level.
4.Replace the coolant reservoir cap. Turnthe cap clockwise until it contacts thehard stop.
5.Check the coolant level the next fewtimes you drive your vehicle. Ifnecessary, add enough predilutedengine coolant to bring the coolantlevel to the correct level.
If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) ofengine coolant per month, have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.Operating an engine with a low coolantlevel can result in engine overheating andpossible engine damage.
Note:During normal vehicle operation, thecoolant may change color, and slightlydarken. As long as the coolant is clear anduncontaminated, this color change does notindicate the coolant has degraded nor doesit require the coolant to be drained, thesystem to be flushed, or the coolant to bereplaced.
In case of emergency, you can add a largeamount of water without coolant to reacha vehicle service location. In this instance,qualified personnel:
1.Must drain the cooling system.
2.Chemically clean the coolant system.
3.Refill with coolant that meets thecorrect specification. See Capacitiesand Specifications (page 226).
Water alone, without coolant, can causeengine damage from corrosion,overheating or freezing.
Do not use the following as a coolantsubstitute:
•Alcohol.
•Methanol.
•Brine.
•Any coolant mixed with alcohol ormethanol antifreeze.
Alcohol and other liquids can cause enginedamage from overheating or freezing.
Do not add extra inhibitors or additives tothe coolant. These can be harmful andcompromise the corrosion protection ofthe coolant.
Recycled Coolant
We do not recommend the use of recycledcoolant as an approved recycling processis not yet available.
Dispose of used engine coolant in anappropriate manner.
Follow your community's regulations andstandards for recycling and disposing ofautomotive fluids.

Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
•It may be necessary to increase thecoolant concentration above 50%.
•A coolant concentration of 60%provides improved freeze pointprotection. Coolant concentrationsabove 60% decrease the overheatprotection characteristics of thecoolant and may cause enginedamage.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
•You can decrease the coolantconcentration to 40%.
•Coolant concentrations below 40%decrease the freeze and corrosionprotection characteristics of thecoolant and may cause enginedamage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extremeclimates should use prediluted coolant foroptimum cooling system and engineprotection.
Coolant Change
Change the engine coolant at the specificmileage intervals listed in scheduledmaintenance. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 226).
Fail-Safe Cooling
Fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarilydrive your vehicle before any incrementalcomponent damage occurs. The fail-safedistance depends on ambienttemperature, vehicle load and terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat, thecoolant temperature gauge moves towardthe red zone.
A warning lamp illuminates anda message may appear in theinstrument cluster display.
If the engine reaches a presetover-temperature condition, itautomatically switches to alternatingcylinder operation. Each disabled cylinderacts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs, your vehicle stilloperates, however:
•Engine power is limited.
•The air conditioning system turns off.
Continued operation increases the enginetemperature, causing the engine tocompletely shut down. Your steering andbraking effort increases in this situation.
When the engine temperature cools, youcan restart the engine. Have your vehiclechecked as soon as possible to minimizeengine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated
WARNING: Fail-safe mode is foruse during emergencies only. Operateyour vehicle in fail-safe mode only aslong as necessary to bring your vehicleto rest in a safe location and seekimmediate repairs. When in fail-safemode, your vehicle will have limitedpower, will not be able to maintainhigh-speed operation, and maycompletely shut down without warning,potentially losing engine power, powersteering assist, and power brake assist,which may increase the possibility of acrash resulting in serious injury.

WARNING: Do not remove thecoolant reservoir cap when the engine ison or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10minutes for the cooling system to cooldown. Cover the coolant reservoir capwith a thick cloth to prevent thepossibility of scalding and slowly removethe cap. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in personal injury.
Your vehicle has limited engine powerwhen in the fail-safe mode, drive yourvehicle with caution. Your vehicle does notmaintain high-speed operation and theengine may operate poorly.
Remember that the engine is capable ofautomatically shutting down to preventengine damage. In this situation:
1.Pull off the road as soon as safelypossible and switch the engine off.
2.If you are a member of a roadsideassistance program, contact yourroadside assistance service provider.
3.If this is not possible, wait a shortperiod for the engine to cool.
4.Check the coolant level. If the coolantlevel is at or below the minimum mark,add prediluted coolant immediately.
5.When the engine temperature cools,you can restart the engine. Have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible tominimize engine damage.
Note:Driving your vehicle without repairincreases the chance of engine damage.
Engine Coolant TemperatureManagement (If Equipped)
WARNING: To reduce the risk ofcrash and injury, be prepared that thevehicle speed may reduce and thevehicle may not be able to acceleratewith full power until the coolanttemperature reduces.
If you tow a trailer with your vehicle, theengine may temporarily reach a highertemperature during severe operatingconditions, for example ascending a longor steep slope in high ambienttemperatures.
At this time, you may notice the coolanttemperature gauge moves toward the redzone and a message may appear in theinstrument cluster display.
You may notice a reduction in vehiclespeed caused by reduced engine power tomanage the engine coolant temperature.Your vehicle may enter this mode if certainhigh-temperature and high-load conditionstake place. The amount of speedreduction depends on vehicle loading,grade and ambient temperature. If thisoccurs, there is no need to pull off theroad. You can continue to drive yourvehicle.
The air conditioning may automaticallyturn on and off during severe operatingconditions to protect the engine fromoverheating. When the coolanttemperature returns to the normaloperating temperature, the air conditioningturns on.
If the coolant temperature gauge movesfully into the red zone, or if the coolanttemperature warning or service enginesoon messages appear in your instrumentcluster display, do the following:

FOLLOW THESE MOUNTINGRECOMMENDATIONS
Tire changing can be dangerousand must be done byprofessionally trained personsusing proper tools andprocedures as specified by theUS Tire ManufacturersAssociation (USTMA). Singleor dual assemblies must becompletely deflated beforedemounting.
Your tires should be mounted onwheels of correct size and typeand which are in good, cleancondition. Wheels that are bent,chipped, rusted (steel wheels) orcorroded (alloy wheels) maycause tire damage. The inside ofthe tire must be free from foreignmaterial. Have your retailer checkthe wheels before mounting newtires. Mismatched tires and rimscan explode during mounting.Also, mismatched tires and rimscan result in dangerous tire failureon the road. If a tire is mounted byerror on the wrong-sized rim, donot remount it on the proper rim -scrap it. It may have beendamaged internally (which is notexternally visible) by having beendangerously stretched and couldfail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When newtubeless tires are mounted,have new valves of the correcttype installed. Tubeless tiresmust only be mounted onwheels designed for tubelesstires i.e., wheels which havesafety humps or ledges.
It is recommended that you haveyour tires and wheels balanced.Tires and wheels, which are notbalanced, may cause steeringdifficulties, a bumpy ride, andirregular tire wear.
Be sure that all your valveshave suitable valve caps. Thevalve cap is the primary sealagainst air loss.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
When using any temporary sparetire, be sure to follow the vehiclemanufacturer’s instructions.
REMEMBER... TO AVOIDDAMAGE TO YOUR TIRES ANDPOSSIBLE ACCIDENT:
•CHECK TIRE PRESSURE ATLEAST ONCE EACH MONTHWHEN TIRES ARE COLD ANDBEFORE LONG TRIPS.
•DO NOTUNDERINFLATE/OVERINFLATE.
•DO NOT OVERLOAD.
•DRIVE AT MODERATESPEEDS, OBSERVE LEGALLIMITS.
