Introduction

Instrument Cluster

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

• Standard instrument cluster shown; metric, optional, and manual transmission clusters similar
• Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause extensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulbs work. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, refer to the respective system warning light for additional information.
• Service engine soon:
• The service engine soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the on position to check the bulb and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing. Normally, the service engine soon light will stay on until the engine is cranked, then turn itself off if no
  malfunctions are present.
• However, if after 15 seconds the service engine soon light blinks eight times, it means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. See the Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.
• Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to Onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible
• Brake system warning light: To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the on position when the engine is not running, or in a position between on and start, or by applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned to the on
  position. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this time, seek service immediately from your authorized dealer.
• Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates a low brake fluid level or a brake system malfunction and the brake system should be inspected immediately by your authorized dealer.

GAUGES

• Standard measure cluster is shown, metric similar.
• Speedometer: Indicates the current vehicle speed.

MESSAGE CENTER

• With the ignition in the on position, the message center, located on your instrument cluster, displays important vehicle information through a constant monitor of vehicle systems. You may select display features on the message center to display status. The system will also notify you of potential vehicle problems with a display of system warnings followed by a long indicator chime.

Selectable features

Reset

• Press reset to select and reset functions are shown in the INFO menu and SETUP menu.

Odometer/Trip odometer

• Refer to Gauges in this chapter.

Distance to empty (DTE)

• Selecting this function from the INFO menu estimates approximately how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your tank under normal driving conditions. Remember to turn the ignition off when refueling to allow this feature to correctly detect the added fuel. The DTE function will display a LOW FUEL LEVEL when you have approximately 50 miles (80 km), to empty.
• If you reset this warning message, it will return at approximately 25 miles (40 km), 10 miles (16 km), and 0 miles (0 km) miles to empty. DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is disconnected.

Driver Controls

Increasing speed while using speed control

To increase the set speed:

• Press and hold SET + until you get to the desired speed, then release. You can also use SET + to operate the tap-up function. Press and release SET + to increase the vehicle set speed in 1 mph (1.6 km/h) increments.
• Use the accelerator pedal to get to the desired speed then press and release SET +.
• Reducing speed while using speed control
• To reduce the set speed:
• Press and hold – SET until you get to the desired speed, then release. You can also use – SET to operate the tap-down function. Press and release – SET to decrease the vehicle set speed in 1 mph (1.6 km/h) increments.
• Press the brake pedal or the clutch pedal (if equipped) until the desired vehicle speed is reached then press SET +.
• Turning off the speed control
• To turn off the speed control, press OFF or turn off the ignition.
• Note: When you turn off the speed control or the ignition, your speed control set speed memory is erased.

MOON ROOF (IF EQUIPPED)

• You can move the glass panel of the moon roof back to open or tilt up (from the closed position) to ventilate the vehicle.

To open the moon roof:

• The moon roof is equipped with an automatic, one-touch, express opening, closing, and venting feature. Press and release the rear portion of the control. To stop motion at any time during the one-touch operation, press the control a second time.
• To close the moon roof:
• The moon roof is equipped with an automatic, one-touch, express closing feature. Press and release the front portion of the control. To stop motion at any time during the one-touch closing, press the control again.
• Bounce-back:
• When an obstacle has been detected in the moon roof opening as the moon roof is closing, the moon roof will automatically open and stop at a prescribed position. This is known as “bounce-back”. If the ignition is turned off (without accessory delay being active) during bounce-back, the moon roof will move until the bounce-back position is reached.
• Bounce-back override:
• To override bounce-back, press and hold the front portion of the control. For example: Bounce-back can be used to overcome the resistance of ice on the moon roof or seals. If during a bounce-back condition, the control is released to the neutral position and then held in the one-touch position within two seconds after the moon roof reaches the bounce-back position, the moon roof will travel with no bounce-back protection.
• If the control is released before the moon roof reaches fully closed or the ignition is turned off (without accessory delay being active), the moon roof will stop. Security override can be used if the moon roof movement is restricted in some way, for example, if there is ice on the moon roof or seals.

Locks and Security

• KEYS
• Your vehicle is equipped with two Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKTs). The key blade functions as a programmed key which starts the vehicle and unlocks/locks all the doors. The transmitter portion functions as the remote entry transmitter

Smart locks

• This feature attempts to help prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle if your key is still in the ignition. When you open one of the front doors and lock the vehicle with the power door lock control (on the driver or passenger door trim panel), all the doors will lock, and then all doors will automatically unlock reminding you that your key is still in the ignition.
• The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, using the manual lock control on the door, locking the driver’s door with a key, or Using the lock control on the remote entry transmitter portion of your Integrated Keyhead Transmitter. If both front doors are closed, the vehicle can be locked by any method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.

Deactivating/activating auto-lock feature

Your vehicle comes with the auto-lock features activated; there are four methods to enable/disable this feature:

• Through your authorized dealer,
• by using a power door unlock/lock sequence, or
• by using the keyless entry pad (if equipped).
• by using the instrument cluster message center. Refer to the Message Center in the Instrument Cluster chapter.
  • Note: The auto-lock feature can be activated/deactivated independently of the auto-unlock feature.

Before starting, ensure the ignition is in the off position and all vehicle doors are closed. You must complete Steps 1–5 within 30 seconds or the procedure will have to be repeated. If the procedure needs to be repeated, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before beginning again.

1. Place the key in the ignition and turn the ignition to the on position.
2. Press the power door unlock control on the door panel three times.
3. Turn the ignition from the on position to the off position

Auto unlock feature

The auto-unlock feature will unlock all the doors when:

• the ignition is in the on position, all the doors are closed, and the vehicle has been in motion at a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h);
• the vehicle has then come to a stop and the ignition is turned to the off or accessory position; and
• the driver’s door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being transitioned to the off or accessory position.
  • Note: The doors will not auto-unlock if the vehicle has been electronically locked before the driver’s door is opened.

Deactivating/activating auto-unlock feature

Your vehicle comes with the auto-unlock features activated; there are four methods to enable/disable this feature:

• Through your authorized dealer,
• by using a power door unlock/lock sequence, or
• by using the keyless entry keypad (if equipped) or
• by using the instrument cluster message center. Refer to the Message Center in the Instrument Cluster chapter.
  • Note: The auto-unlock feature can be activated/deactivated independently of the auto-lock feature. Before starting, ensure the ignition is in the off position and all vehicle doors are closed. You must complete Steps 1–5 within 30 seconds or the procedure will have to be repeated. If the procedure needs to be repeated, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before beginning again.

Replacement Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKT) and coded keys

• Note: Your vehicle comes equipped with two Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKTs). The IKT functions as both a programmed ignition key that operates all the locks and starts the vehicle, as well as a remote keyless entry transmitter. A maximum of eight coded keys can be programmed into your vehicle; only four of these eight keys can be IKTs with remote entry functionality.
• If your IKTs or standard SecuriLock coded keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be programmed. Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys.
• Programming spare keys
• You can program your own integrated keyed transmitters or standard SecuriLock-coded keys for your vehicle. This procedure will program both the engine immobilizer keycode and the remote entry transmitter portion of the IKT to your vehicle. Note: A maximum of eight coded keys can be programmed to your vehicle; only four of these eight can be IKTs with remote entry functionality.
• Tips:
• Only use Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKTs) or standard SecuriLock keys.
• You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that already operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily accessible.
• If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must take your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare key(s) programmed.

PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM

• The perimeter anti-theft system will help protect your vehicle from unauthorized entry. If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
  ensure ALL Integrated Keyhead Transmitters are brought to the authorized dealer to aid in troubleshooting.

Seating and Safety Restraints

Adjustable head restraints

• Your vehicle is equipped with front-row outboard head restraints that are vertically adjustable.

The adjustable head restraints consist of:

• a trimmed energy-absorbing foam and structure (1),
• two steel stems (2),
• a guide sleeve adjust/release button (3),
• and a guide sleeve unlock/remove button (4).

To adjust the head restraint, do the following:

1. Adjust the seatback to an upright driving/riding position.
2. Raise the head restraint by pulling up on the head restraint.
3. Lower the head restraint by pressing and holding the guide sleeve adjust/release button and pushing down on the head restraint.
   • Properly adjust the head restraint so that the top of the head restraint is even with the top of your head and positioned as close as possible to the back of your head. For occupants of extremely tall stature, adjust the head restraint to its full-up position.

Attaching child safety seats with tether straps

• Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap that extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring point called the top tether anchor. Tether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats. Contact the manufacturer of your child’s seat for information about ordering a tether strap, or obtaining a longer tether strap if the tether strap on your safety seat does not reach the appropriate top tether anchor in the vehicle.
• Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor.
• Once the child safety seat has been installed, using either the safety belt, the lower anchors of the LATCH system, or both, you can attach the top tether strap.

Perform the following steps to attach a child safety seat to the tether anchor:

1. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat. For vehicles with adjustable head restraints, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts, otherwise, route the tether strap over the top of the seatback.
2. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position.
3. Open the tether anchor cover.
4. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as shown. If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision.
5. Tighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being
   injured in a collision greatly increases. If your child restraint system is equipped with a tether strap and the child restraint manufacturer recommends its use, Ford also recommends its use.

Child booster seats

• The belt-positioning booster (booster seat) is used to improve the fit of the vehicle safety belt. Children outgrow a typical child seat (e.g., convertible or toddler seat) when they weigh about 40 lb (18 kg) and are around four (4) years of age. Consult your child safety seat owner guide for the weight, height, and age limits specific to your child safety seat. Keep your child in the child safety seat if it properly fits the child, remains appropriate for their weight, height, and age, AND if properly secured to the vehicle.

Maintenance and Specifications

1. Locate the white plastic funnel. It is attached to the underside of the spare tire cover or is included with the tire-changing tools.
2. Slowly insert the funnel into the Easy Fuel™ system.
3. Fill the vehicle with fuel from the portable fuel container.
4. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer if you choose to dispose of the funnel. Do not use aftermarket funnels; they will not work with the Easy Fuel™ system and can damage it. The included funnel has been specially designed to work safely with your vehicle.

Conditions

• Heavily loading a vehicle may reduce fuel economy at any speed.
• Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy (approximately 1 mpg [0.4 km/L] is lost for every 400 lb [180 kg] of weight carried).
• Adding certain accessories to your vehicle (for example; bug deflectors, rollbars/light bars, running boards, and ski/luggage racks) may reduce fuel economy.
• Using fuel blended with alcohol may lower fuel economy.
• Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures during the first 8–10 miles (12–16 km) of driving.
• Driving on flat terrain offers improved fuel economy as compared to driving on hilly terrain.
• Transmissions give their best fuel economy when operated in the top cruise gear and with steady pressure on the gas pedal.
• Close windows for high-speed driving.
• EPA fuel economy estimates
• Every new vehicle should have a sticker on the window called the Monroney Label which contains EPA fuel economy estimates. Contact your authorized dealer if the Monroney Label is not supplied with your vehicle. The EPA fuel economy estimates should be your guide for fuel economy comparisons with other vehicles. Your fuel economy may vary depending on the method of operation and conditions.
