WARNING: Do not connect wireless plug-in devices to the data link connector. Unauthorized third parties could gain access to vehicle data and impair the performance of safety related systems. Only allow repair facilities that follow our service and repair instructions to connect their equipment to the data link connector.

Your vehicle has electronic control units that record data about the vehicle’s condition, status, maintenance requirements, events, and malfunctions. This data can include:

Operating states of system components (e.g., fuel level, tire pressure).

Vehicle and component status (e.g., wheel speed, deceleration).

Events or errors in essential systems (e.g., headlamps, brakes).

System responses to driving situations (e.g., airbag deployment).

Environmental conditions (e.g., temperature).

This data, when combined with other information, could be associated with a specific person. We may provide this information to law enforcement or other authorities through a legal process.

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). Its main purpose is to record data in a crash or near crash-like situation, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle. This data helps in understanding how the vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR records data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for about 30 seconds or less, including:

How various systems in your vehicle were operating.

Whether the driver and passenger seatbelts were buckled.

How far the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.

How fast the vehicle was traveling.

Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.

Note: The EDR records data only in a non-trivial crash; it does not record under normal driving conditions and does not record personal data like name or location. However, law enforcement could combine EDR data with personally identifying data acquired during a crash investigation.

The modem in your vehicle has a SIM card and was enabled when the vehicle was built. It periodically sends messages to stay connected to the cell phone network, receive software updates, and send vehicle-related information (e.g., diagnostic info). These messages can identify your vehicle, the SIM, and the modem’s serial number. The modem continues to send this information unless you disable it or change its settings.

To find out if your vehicle has a modem, and for more information, refer to your vehicle’s documentation.

Note: The service can be unavailable or interrupted for a number of reasons, for example environmental or topographical conditions and data plan coverage.

If you connect a mobile device, you can display data from it on the touchscreen (e.g., music, album art). You can also share vehicle data with mobile apps on your device. The system creates a profile linked to your cell phone, which may contain data from your phonebook, text messages, and call history. If you connect a media device, the system creates and retains an index of its content. It also records a short diagnostic log of recent system activity. This information remains in the vehicle unless you delete it. If you no longer plan to use the system, it is recommended to use the system reset function to erase stored information.

WARNING: Always make sure your child is secured properly in a device that is appropriate for their height, age and weight. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in an increased risk of serious injury or death.

WARNING: On hot days, the temperature inside the vehicle can rise very quickly. Exposure to high temperatures can cause death or serious heat-related injuries. Small children are particularly at risk.

WARNING: Do not place a rearward facing child restraint in front of an active airbag. This could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: Properly secure children 12 years old and under in a rear seating position whenever possible. If you must use a forward-facing child restraint in the front seat, move the seat as far back as possible.

WARNING: Always carefully follow the instructions and warnings provided by the manufacturer of any child restraint.

WARNING: Do not allow a passenger to hold a child on their lap when the vehicle is moving.

WARNING: Do not use pillows, books or towels to boost your child’s height.

WARNING: Properly secure child restraints or booster seats when they are not in use to prevent them from becoming projectiles in a sudden stop or crash.

You are required by law to properly use child restraints for infants and toddlers. Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements.

WARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint, you may block access to certain seatbelt buckle assemblies and LATCH lower anchors. To avoid risk of injury, make sure occupants only use seating positions where they can be properly restrained.

Perform the following steps when installing a child restraint with seatbelts:

1. Position the child restraint in a seat with a seatbelt.

2. Pull down on the shoulder belt and then grasp it and the lap belt together.

3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together, route the tongue through the child restraint according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not twist the belt webbing.

4. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until the latch engages. Pull on it to make sure it is secure.

5. To put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull downward until you pull all of the seatbelt out.

6. Allow the belt to retract. The seatbelt clicks as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.

7. Pull the seatbelt out of the retractor to make sure it is in automatic locking mode. You should not be able to pull more belt out. If not locked, unbuckle and repeat steps 5 and 6.

8. Remove remaining slack from the belt by forcing the seat down with extra weight (e.g., kneeling on it) while pulling up on the shoulder belt.

9. If the child restraint has a tether strap, attach it.

10. Before placing a child in the seat, forcibly move the seat forward and back to ensure it is securely held. There should be no more than 1 in (2.5 cm) of movement.

WARNING: Do not attach two child safety restraints to the same anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two attachments and may break.

WARNING: The center of the rear seat is not designed as a seating position and does not have seatbelts. The LATCH anchors were not designed for use in the center position. Do not attempt to use the center as a seating position.

LATCH compatible child restraints have two attachments that connect to the two lower anchors at the LATCH equipped seating positions. For forward-facing child restraints, you must also attach the top tether strap to the proper top tether anchor.

For vehicles with a hard top:

1. Route the tether strap over the back of the seat.

2. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position.

3. Open the tether anchor cover.

4. Clip the tether strap to the anchor.

5. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

For vehicles with a convertible top:

1. Route the tether strap over the top of the seat backrest.

2. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position.

3. Remove the tether anchor cap.

4. Clip the tether strap to the anchor.

5. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Use a belt-positioning booster seat for children who have outgrown a child restraint and meet the following criteria:

Generally less than 57 in (1.45 m) tall.

Greater than age four (4) and less than age twelve (12).

Between 40 lb (18 kg) and 80 lb (36 kg) and upward to 100 lb (45 kg).

Booster seats should be used until you can answer yes to all of these questions when seated without a booster seat:

Can the child sit all the way back against their vehicle seat backrest with knees bent comfortably at the edge of the seat cushion?

Can the child sit without slouching?

Does the lap belt rest low across the hips?

Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and chest?

Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?

WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.

WARNING: All occupants, including the driver, should always properly wear their seatbelts, even with an airbag system.

WARNING: It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area. Do not allow people to ride in any area not equipped with seats and seatbelts.

WARNING: Each seating position has a specific seatbelt assembly. Use the shoulder belt on the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm. Never use a single seatbelt for more than one person.

WARNING: Seatbelts and seats may be hot in a vehicle that is in the sunshine. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them.

WARNING: If your vehicle is involved in a crash, have the seatbelts and associated components inspected as soon as possible.

1. Pull the seatbelt out steadily. Note: It may lock if you pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.

2. Insert the tongue into the buckle.

3. Pull the seatbelt tight to remove any slack.

To unfasten, press the red button on the buckle to release the seatbelt. Hold the seatbelt tongue and let it retract completely.

WARNING: Always ride and drive with your seatback upright and properly fasten your seatbelt. Fit the lap portion of the seatbelt snugly and low across the hips. Position the shoulder portion of the seatbelt across your chest. Pregnant women must follow this practice.

Position the lap belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt low across the hips below the belly and worn as tight as comfort allows. Position the shoulder belt to cross the middle of the shoulder and the center of the chest.

WARNING: While the system allows you to deactivate it, this system is designed to improve your chances of being safely belted and surviving an accident. We recommend you leave the system activated.

Read Steps 1-4 before proceeding:

Make sure that:

You set the parking brake.

The transmission is in park (P).

The ignition is off.

You close all vehicle doors.

You unfasten the driver and front passenger seatbelts.

1. Start the engine.

2. Wait a short period of time until the seatbelt warning light switches off. After Step 2, wait an additional five seconds before proceeding with Step 3. Once you start Step 3, complete the procedure within 30 seconds.

3. For the seating position you are switching off, fasten then unfasten the seatbelt four times at a moderate speed, ending in the unfastened state. After each unfasten, the seatbelt warning light switches on and off with each fasten.

4. The seatbelt warning light flashes for confirmation.

Check the seatbelts and child restraints periodically to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Make sure there are no nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if necessary.

Check all of the following seatbelt assemblies after a crash:

Retractors.

Buckles.

Front seatbelt buckle assemblies.

Shoulder belt guide on seat backrest.

Child restraint anchors and top tethers.

Attaching hardware.

We recommend that all seatbelt assemblies in use in vehicles involved in a crash be replaced. If the crash was minor and an authorized dealer finds that the belts do not show damage and continue to operate properly, they do not need to be replaced.

WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the airbag cover, on the side of the front seat backrests, or in areas that may come into contact with a deploying airbag.

WARNING: Do not use accessory seat covers. The use of accessory seat covers may prevent the deployment of the airbags.

WARNING: Do not lean your head on the door. The side airbag could injure you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.

WARNING: To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the airbag.

WARNING: All occupants of your vehicle, including the driver, should always properly wear their seatbelts.

WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the supplementary restraint system or associated components.

WARNING: If a supplementary restraint system component has deployed, it will not function again. Have the system inspected as soon as possible.

WARNING: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 in (25 cm) between an occupant’s chest and the driver airbag module.

To properly position yourself away from the airbag:

Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.

Recline the seat slightly one or two degrees from the upright position.

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on seatbelts, it is very important that they continue to sit properly. Properly seated occupants sit upright, lean against the seat backrest, and center themselves on the seat cushion, with their feet comfortably extended on the floor.

This system detects a properly seated occupant and determines if the front passenger airbag should be enabled (turned on) or disabled (turned off). It uses a passenger airbag status indicator light. When the front passenger sensing system disables the airbag, the ‘OFF’ lamp illuminates. When it enables the airbag, the ‘ON’ lamp illuminates.

The system is designed to disable the front passenger frontal airbag when:

The front passenger seat is unoccupied.

The system determines an infant is present in a child restraint.

A passenger takes their weight off of the seat for a period of time.

There is a problem with the airbag system or the passenger sensing system.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger seat, but the passenger airbag status indicator ‘OFF’ lamp is illuminated, it is possible that the person is not sitting properly. If this happens, switch the vehicle off, have the person sit upright in the center of the seat cushion with their back against the seatback and legs extended, then restart the vehicle and wait for two minutes.

The following table explains the indicators:

WARNING: Sitting improperly, out of position or with the seatback reclined too far can take weight off the seat cushion and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in the event of a crash. Always sit upright against your seat back, with your feet on the floor.

WARNING: Any alteration or modification to the front passenger seat may affect the performance of the front passenger sensing system. This could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.

WARNING: Do not place objects under the front passenger seat or between the seat and the center console. Failure to follow this instruction may interfere with the front passenger seat sensing system and increase the risk of injury or death in a crash.

911 Assist is a SYNC system feature that can call for help. If a crash deploys an airbag (excluding knee airbags) or activates the fuel pump shut-off, your vehicle may be able to contact emergency services by dialing 911 through a paired and connected Bluetooth® enabled phone.

Before making the call, SYNC provides about 10 seconds to cancel it. If not canceled, SYNC attempts to dial 911 and a pre-recorded message plays for the 911 operator. Occupants can then talk with the operator.

WARNING: Do not wait for 911 Assist to make an emergency call if you can do it yourself. Dial emergency services immediately to avoid delayed response time.

WARNING: Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on before a crash, the system will not dial for help.

Requirements:

SYNC must be powered and working properly.

The 911 Assist feature must be set on before the incident.

You must pair and connect a Bluetooth® enabled and compatible cell phone to SYNC.

The traction control system helps to avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction. If your vehicle begins to slide, the system applies the brakes to individual wheels and, when needed, reduces power at the same time. If the wheels spin when accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces, the system reduces power in order to increase traction.

WARNING: Operating your vehicle with the traction control disabled could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

The traction control system turns on each time you switch the ignition on. The button for the stability and traction control system is on the instrument panel. Press and release the button to switch traction control off. Press the switch again to turn the traction control system back on to normal operation.

Electronic stability control enhances your vehicle’s ability to prevent skids or lateral slides by applying brakes to one or more of the wheels individually and, if necessary, reducing power.

If a driving condition activates either the stability control or the traction control system you may experience the following conditions:

• The stability and traction control light flashes.

• Your vehicle slows down.

• Reduced power.

The system turns on each time you switch the power on. Press and hold the stability and traction control button for a few seconds and then release to switch the system off. Shifting into reverse (R) will disable the system. You can switch the traction control system off or on independently.

The electric power steering system uses an electric motor to provide assistance when turning the steering wheel. If your vehicle detects a steering concern, a warning message appears and the system reduces steering assistance. If your vehicle loses electrical power, the system still operates but requires more manual effort.

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:

• An improperly inflated tire.

• Uneven tire wear.

• Loose or worn suspension components.

• Improper vehicle alignment.

You can only switch the audible tone on and off. The parking aid system remains on at all times. To mute the audible tone, shift into reverse (R) and press the P with triangle button on the rear view camera display screen to switch the system’s audible tone on and off.

WARNING: The system does not detect oncoming vehicles in the same lane.

WARNING: The system may not operate properly if the sensor is blocked. Keep the windshield free from obstruction.

WARNING: The sensor may incorrectly track lane markings as other structures or objects. This can result in a false or missed warning.

The radar sensor has a limited field of view and may not detect vehicles at all or later than expected in some situations. The lead vehicle image does not illuminate if the system does not detect a vehicle in front of you. Detection issues can occur in the following situations:

A. When driving on a different line than the vehicle in front.

B. With vehicles that edge into your lane. The system can only detect these vehicles once they move fully into your lane.

C. There may be issues with the detection of vehicles in front when driving into and coming out of a bend or curve in the road.

In these cases, the system may brake late or unexpectedly.

If something hits the front end of your vehicle or damage occurs, the radar-sensing zone may change, which could cause missed or false vehicle detection. Optimal performance also requires a clear view of the road by the windshield-mounted camera and may not occur if:

• The camera is blocked.

• There is poor visibility or lighting conditions.

• There are bad weather conditions.

The cruise controls are located on the steering wheel.

You must keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times. If the system is active and detects no steering activity, it will alert you to put your hands on the steering wheel. The system also alerts you if your vehicle crosses lane markings without detected steering activity.

How it Works:

PSA works with adaptive cruise control to adjust the vehicle speed based on road geometry (curves, highway exits) and the speed limit detected by the speed sign recognition system. The vehicle speed temporarily decreases ahead of and during changing road geometry. When passing new speed signs, the set speed updates.

Limitations:

• The system may not always adjust vehicle speed in certain conditions like crossing traffic, yield/stop signs, traffic lights, speed bumps, or adverse weather (rain, snow, fog).

• Road geometry and speed limit information from navigation map data could be inaccurate or outdated.

• The system may not detect speed limit signs with conditional information (e.g., flashing signs, school zones).

• The system does not set the vehicle speed to limits shown with a supplementary traffic sign.

• Under certain conditions, the system may not adjust the speed until after passing the speed limit sign.

• Detection of road geometry is only available in certain areas.

The system only operates when vehicle speed is greater than 40 mph (64 km/h) and the camera can detect at least one lane marking.

The system may not operate or may not correct lane positioning in the following conditions:

• You apply direct steering, accelerate fast, or brake hard.

• The anti-lock brake, stability, or traction control system activates.

• The lane is too narrow.

• The camera is obscured or cannot detect markings due to environment, traffic, or vehicle conditions.

• High winds, uneven road surfaces, heavy loads, or incorrect tire pressure.

When LKS is on, a graphic with lane markings appears. The color of the markings indicates the system status:

The feature may be unavailable for many reasons, including:

• Vehicle speed is less than 40 mph (65 km/h).

• The sun is shining directly into the camera lens.

• Driving at high speeds in curves.

• Ambiguous or faint lane markings (e.g., in construction zones, on concrete roads).

• Sudden offset in lane markings or rapid transition from light to dark.

• A camera blockage due to dirt, grime, fog, frost, or water on the windshield.

• Standing water on the road.

• Lane width is too narrow or too wide.

• You have not calibrated the camera after a windshield replacement.

Blind Spot Assist is an extension of the lane keeping system that helps identify adjacent vehicles during a lane change. It provides a blind spot warning and steering assistance to help you steer away from vehicles in your blind spot.

How it works:

• Diagram 1: Your vehicle (A) signals to change lanes. Another vehicle (B) enters your blind spot, causing the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) alert to flash on the exterior mirror.

• Diagram 2: The driver of vehicle A begins to steer into the lane, unaware of vehicle B.

• Diagram 3: Blind Spot Assist counter-steers to alert the driver of vehicle A and help direct them back into their original lane to avoid a possible collision.

A warning lamp or yellow lane marking in the instrument cluster indicates activation.

BLIS detects vehicles that may have entered your blind spot zone. It uses sensors on both sides of your vehicle, detecting rearward from the exterior mirrors to approximately 13 ft (4 m) beyond the rear bumper. The detection area extends further when your speed is greater than 30 mph (48 km/h) to alert you of faster approaching vehicles.

Switching On and Off:

1. From the settings menu, press Driver Assistance.

2. Switch Blind Spot Information System on or off.

The system remembers the last setting when you start your vehicle.

Locating the Sensors:

The sensors are behind the rear bumper on both sides of your vehicle. Keep the sensors free from snow, ice, dirt, and do not cover them with bumper stickers or other objects.

Indicators:

When BLIS detects a vehicle, an alert indicator illuminates in the exterior mirror on that side. If you turn on the turn signal for that side, the alert indicator flashes.

Exit Warning provides a visual and audible alert when a vehicle occupant opens a door into approaching traffic. It uses radar sensors to detect traffic objects (vehicles, cyclists, etc.) approaching from the rear.

The system becomes active once you have started your vehicle and the vehicle is not moving. It remains on for about 3 minutes after turning your vehicle off, but turns off immediately when you lock the doors.

When it detects an approaching traffic object on one side, the corresponding alert indicator in the exterior mirror illuminates or flashes.

You can switch the system on or off using the touchscreen.

The system is designed to alert you of road users and traffic objects approaching from the rear sides when you shift into reverse (R). If you continue to reverse after an alert, the system may apply the brakes.

It is designed to detect objects approaching above 5 mph (8 km/h). Slowly reversing helps increase the coverage area and effectiveness.

When the system detects an approaching vehicle, a tone sounds, an alert indicator illuminates in the relevant exterior mirror, and arrows appear in the touchscreen to show which side the vehicle is approaching from.

You can switch the feature on or off via the Driver Assistance menu in the touchscreen settings.

Pre-collision assist detects and warns of approaching hazards in the roadway. It provides multiple levels of assistance if your vehicle is rapidly approaching another stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the same direction, or a pedestrian/cyclist in your path.

The system provides three levels of functionality:

1. Alert: A flashing visual warning appears and an audible warning tone sounds.

2. Brake Support: Prepares the brakes for rapid braking to help reduce impact speed. If you press the brake pedal, the system may apply additional braking force.

3. Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): May activate if the system determines a collision is imminent.

You can adjust the following settings using the touchscreen controls in the pre-collision assist menu:

• Alert Sensitivity: Change to one of three possible settings.

• Automatic Emergency Braking: Switch on or off.

• Evasive Steering Assist: Switch on or off.

Note: Automatic emergency braking and evasive steering assist automatically turn on every time you start your vehicle. If you switch AEB off, evasive steering assist also switches off.

Distance Indication displays the gap between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you. The graphic does not display if you switch on cruise control or adaptive cruise control. You can switch the feature on or off via the Pre-Collision Assist menu.

The indicator displays the time gap between your vehicle and vehicles traveling in the same direction. The color changes based on the distance and time gap:

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a road user, Evasive Steering Assist helps you steer around them. After you turn the steering wheel to avoid a crash, the system applies additional steering torque to help you steer around the user. After you pass them, it applies steering torque to help you steer back into your lane.

Limitations:

It only activates when all of the following occur:

• Automatic emergency braking and evasive steering assist are on.

• The system detects a road user ahead and starts to apply the brakes.

• You significantly turn the steering wheel to steer around a road user.

The system does not activate if you do not turn the steering wheel, or if the distance to the road user is too small to avoid a crash.

What should I do if the windshield in front of the camera is dirty or obstructed?

Clean the outside of the windshield in front of the camera. If the message remains, wait a short time as it could take several minutes for the camera to detect there is no obstruction.

What should I do if the surface of the radar in the grille is dirty or obstructed?

Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the object causing the obstruction. If the message remains, wait a short time for the radar to detect there is no obstruction.

Can weather or road conditions interfere with the radar signals?

Yes, heavy rain, spray, fog, water, snow, or ice can interfere with radar signals. The system may temporarily disable itself and reactivate once conditions improve.

What if the radar is out of alignment due to a front end impact?

Have your vehicle serviced to have the radar checked for proper coverage and operation.

Speed Sign Recognition detects speed limit signs to inform you of the current speed limit, which appears in the instrument cluster display. It uses a sensor behind the interior mirror and may use stored map data.

Limitations:

The system may not detect the correct speed due to:

• Construction zones.

• Outdated map data.

• Incorrect recognition of signs on parallel roads or exit ramps.

• Missed recognition of faded, dirty, or distorted signs.

Driver Alert determines your alertness level based on your driving behavior in relation to lane markings and other factors using the front windshield camera. It alerts you if it determines you are becoming drowsy or your driving deteriorates.

System Warnings:

The warning system has two stages:

1. A temporary warning is issued to advise you to take a rest (“Driver Alert Warning Rest Suggested”).

2. If you do not rest and your driving continues to deteriorate, it issues a further warning that remains in the display until you cancel it (“Driver Alert Warning Rest Now”).

You can switch the feature on or off via the Driver Assistance menu in the settings.

Payload is the combined weight of cargo and passengers your vehicle is carrying. The maximum payload is listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located on the door pillar or driver’s door edge.

Steps for determining the correct load limit:

1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lb.” on your vehicle’s placard.

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from the maximum payload weight (the “XXX” number).

4. The resulting figure is the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.

Example: If the payload is 1,400 lb. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers (total 750 lb.), the available cargo capacity is 650 lb. (1400 – 750 = 650 lb.).

The weight of any additional equipment installed on your vehicle must also be subtracted from the payload listed on the label.

Opening from Inside:

Press the button on the instrument panel to open the luggage compartment.

Opening from Outside:

Press the exterior release button hidden above the license plate. Your vehicle must be unlocked or you must have an intelligent access key within 3.3 ft (1 m) of the compartment.

3. Once the disabled vehicle starts, run both engines for an additional three minutes before disconnecting the cables.

Removing the Jumper Cables:

Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order that they were connected (4, 3, 2, 1).

Post-Crash Alert System:

This system helps draw attention to your vehicle after a serious impact. It is designed to turn on the hazard flashers and courtesy lamps, intermittently sound the horn, and unlock all doors if an airbag or seatbelt pretensioner deploys. To switch it off, press the hazard flasher switch, the unlock or panic button on the remote, or cycle the ignition.

Post-Collision Braking:

After a moderate to severe crash, this braking system reduces the vehicle’s speed to prevent or reduce the impact of a potential secondary crash. You can override it by pressing the brake or accelerator pedal. The system does not activate if the anti-lock braking system is damaged or stability control is disabled.

The automatic crash shutoff is designed to stop fuel flow to the engine in a moderate to severe crash. Not every impact causes a shutoff.

Re-enabling Your Vehicle:

1. Switch the ignition off.

2. Attempt to start your vehicle.

3. Switch the ignition off.

The screw-in recovery hook is located with the spare tire kit. Insert the hook into the installation point and turn it counterclockwise (it has a left-hand thread). Tighten it fully.

Transporting the Vehicle:

We recommend using wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment. For flatbed towing, especially on the Dark Horse model, race ramps or wood ramps must be used to achieve appropriate undercarriage clearance. Do not tow with a sling belt or wheel lift equipment on a Dark Horse model.

Fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarily drive your vehicle if the engine overheats before incremental component damage occurs. If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, it automatically switches to alternating cylinder operation to cool the engine. Engine power will be limited, and the air conditioning will turn off.

Continued operation will increase the engine temperature, causing the engine to completely shut down.

What to do when Fail-Safe Mode is Activated:

1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and switch the engine off.

2. Contact a roadside assistance service provider if you are a member.

3. If not possible, wait for the engine to cool.

4. Check the coolant level. If at or below the minimum mark, add prediluted coolant immediately.

5. When the engine temperature cools, you can restart the engine. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible to minimize engine damage.

Fuse Box Locations:

• Under Hood Fuse Box: Located in the engine compartment.

To reduce risk of personal injury, make sure the engine is cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap. The cooling system is under pressure and steam/hot liquid can come out forcefully.

Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10 minutes for it to cool down. Cover the cap with a thick cloth and slowly remove it to prevent scalding.

When the engine is cold, check the concentration and level of the coolant at the intervals listed in the scheduled maintenance information.

Note: Make sure that the coolant level is between the MIN and the MAX marks on the coolant reservoir.

Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The level may extend beyond the MAX mark. This is normal.

Maintain coolant concentration within 48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze point between -29°F (-34°C) and -35°F (-37°C). Coolant concentration should be checked using a refractometer. We do not recommend the use of hydrometers or coolant test strips for measuring coolant concentration.

WARNING: Do not add coolant when the vehicle is on or the cooling system is hot. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.

WARNING: Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10 minutes for the cooling system to cool down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of scalding and slowly remove the cap. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.

WARNING: Do not allow the fluid to touch your skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the affected areas immediately with plenty of water and contact your physician.

WARNING: Do not put coolant in the windshield washer reservoir. If sprayed on the windshield, coolant could make it difficult to see through the windshield.

WARNING: Do not add coolant further than the MAX mark.

Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling system sealants, or non-specified additives as they can cause damage to the engine cooling or heating systems. Resulting component damage may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Note: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable.

It is very important to use prediluted coolant approved to the correct specification in order to avoid plugging the small passageways in the engine cooling system. Do not mix different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or using an incorrect coolant may harm the engine or cooling system components.

Note: Coolants marketed for all makes and models may not be approved to our specifications and may cause damage to the cooling system.

Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant. These can be harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the coolant.

If the coolant level is at or below the minimum mark, add prediluted coolant immediately.

To top up the coolant level do the following:

1. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure escapes as you unscrew the cap.

2. Add prediluted coolant approved to the correct specification.

3. Add enough prediluted coolant to reach the correct level.

4. Replace the coolant reservoir cap. Turn the cap clockwise until it contacts the hard stop.

5. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir the next few times you drive your vehicle. If necessary, add enough prediluted engine coolant to bring the coolant level to the correct level.

If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) of engine coolant per month, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. Operating an engine with a low level of coolant can result in engine overheating and possible engine damage.

In case of emergency, you can add a large amount of water without engine coolant in order to reach a vehicle service location. Water alone, without engine coolant, can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing.

Do not use the following as a coolant substitute:

• Alcohol.

• Methanol.

• Brine.

• Any coolant mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze.

Alcohol and other liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.

If you tow a trailer with your vehicle, the engine may temporarily reach a higher temperature during severe operating conditions. At this time, you may notice the coolant temperature gauge moves toward the red zone and a message may appear in the information display.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of crash and injury, be prepared that the vehicle speed may reduce and the vehicle may not be able to accelerate with full power until the coolant temperature reduces.

WARNING: If you continue to drive your vehicle when the engine is overheating, the engine could stop without warning. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle.

You may notice a reduction in vehicle speed caused by reduced engine power in order to manage the engine coolant temperature. Your vehicle may enter this mode if certain high-temperature and high-load conditions take place. If this occurs, there is no need to stop your vehicle. You can continue to drive.

The air conditioning may automatically turn on and off during severe operating conditions to protect the engine from overheating. When the coolant temperature decreases to the normal operating temperature, the air conditioning turns on.

If the coolant temperature gauge moves fully into the red zone, or if the coolant temperature warning or service engine soon messages appear in your information display, do the following:

1. Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Fully apply the parking brake, shift into park (P) or neutral (N).

2. Leave the engine running until the coolant temperature gauge needle returns to the normal position. If the temperature does not drop after several minutes, follow the remaining steps.

3. Switch the engine off and wait for it to cool. Check the coolant level.

4. If the coolant level is at or below the minimum mark, add prediluted coolant immediately.

5. If the coolant level is normal, restart the engine and continue.

Capacities

Materials

WARNING: Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personal injury. Therefore, do not allow flames, sparks or lighted substances to come near the battery. When working near the battery, always shield your face and protect your eyes. Always provide correct ventilation.

WARNING: When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure on the end walls could cause acid to flow through the vent caps, resulting in personal injury and damage to the vehicle or battery. Lift the battery with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.

WARNING: Keep batteries out of reach of children. Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes when working near the battery to protect against possible splashing of acid solution. In case of acid contact with skin or eyes, flush immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. If acid is swallowed, call a physician immediately.

WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash your hands after handling.

WARNING: This vehicle may have more than one battery. Removing the battery cables from only one battery does not disconnect your vehicle electrical system. Make sure you disconnect the battery cables from all batteries when disconnecting power. Failure to do so may cause serious personal injury or property damage.

WARNING: For vehicles with Auto-Start-Stop the battery requirement is different. You must replace the battery with one of exactly the same specification.

The battery management system monitors battery conditions and takes actions to extend battery life.

If excessive battery drain is detected, the system temporarily disables some electrical systems to protect the battery. Systems included are:

• Heated rear window.

• Heated seats.

• Climate control.

• Heated steering wheel.

• Audio unit.

• Navigation system.

A message could appear in the information display to alert you that battery protection actions are active. This message is only for notification that an action is taking place, and not intended to indicate an electrical problem or that the battery requires replacement.

After battery replacement, or in some cases after charging the battery with an external charger, the battery management system requires eight hours of vehicle sleep time to relearn the battery state of charge. During this time, your vehicle must remain fully locked with the ignition switched off.

Note: Prior to relearning the battery state of charge, the battery management system could temporarily disable some electrical systems.

To make sure the battery management system works correctly, do not connect an electrical device ground connection directly to the battery negative post. This can cause inaccurate measurements of the battery condition and potential incorrect system operation.

Note: If you add electrical accessories or components to the vehicle, it could adversely affect battery performance and durability. This could also affect the performance of other electrical systems in the vehicle.

The battery is in the engine compartment. Your vehicle has a maintenance-free battery. It does not require additional water during service.

If the vehicle battery has a cover, make sure you correctly install it after cleaning or replacing the battery.

For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and dry and the battery cables tightly fastened to the battery terminals. If any corrosion is present on the battery or terminals, remove the cables from the terminals and clean with a wire brush. You can neutralize the acid with a solution of baking soda and water.

We recommend that you disconnect the negative battery cable terminal from the battery if you plan to store your vehicle for an extended period.

Note: If you only disconnect the negative battery cable terminal, make sure it is isolated or placed away from the battery terminal to avoid unintended connection or arcing.

If you disconnect or replace the battery and your vehicle has an automatic transmission, it must relearn its adaptive strategy. Because of this, the transmission may shift firmly when first driven. This is normal operation while the transmission fully updates its operation to optimum shift feel.

1. Apply the parking brake and switch the ignition off.

2. Switch all electrical equipment off, for example lights and radio.

3. Wait a minimum of two minutes before disconnecting the battery.

Note: The engine management system has a power hold function and remains powered for a period of time after you switch the ignition off. This is to allow diagnostic and adaptive tables to be stored. Disconnecting the battery without waiting can cause damage not covered by the vehicle Warranty.

4. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable terminal.

5. Disconnect and isolate the positive battery cable terminal.

6. Remove the battery securing clamp.

7. Remove the battery.

If you disconnect or replace the vehicle battery, you must reset the following features:

• Window bounce-back.

• Clock Settings.

• Pre-set radio stations.

When you install a new battery, reset the battery sensor by doing the following:

1. Switch the ignition on, and leave the engine off.

Note: Complete Steps 2 and 3 within 10 seconds.

2. Flash the high beam headlamps five times, ending with the high beams off.

3. Press and release the brake pedal three times.

The battery warning lamp flashes three times to confirm that the reset is successful.

Make sure that you dispose of old batteries in an environmentally friendly way. Seek advice from your local authority about recycling old batteries.

The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant. If your vehicle has been in an accident, have the alignment of your headlamps checked by an authorized dealer.

Vertical Aim Adjustment

1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface, approximately 25 ft (7.6 m) away.

2. Measure the height from the center of your headlamp indicated by a 3 mm circle on the lens to the ground and mark an 8 ft (2.4 m) horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen at this height, a piece of masking tape works well.

Note: To see a clearer light pattern for adjusting, you may want to block the light from one headlamp while adjusting the other.

3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood. Cover one of the headlamps so no light hits the wall.

4. On the wall or screen you will observe a flat zone of high intensity light at the top of the right-hand portion of the beam pattern. If the top edge of the high intensity light zone is not at the horizontal reference line, the headlamp needs to be adjusted.

6. Repeat Steps 3 through 7 to adjust the other headlamp.

7. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.

Horizontal Aim Adjustment

The headlamps are not equipped with horizontal adjusters.

Your vehicle has LED lamps. These are not serviceable items. See an authorized dealer if they fail.

Appropriately change the engine oil for track events. Before and after track events, drain the engine oil and replace the engine oil filter.

Regularly check the engine oil level during the event. Maintain the engine oil level at or near the max mark on the engine oil dipstick.

WARNING: Before driving at high speeds, adjust the tire pressures to the recommended tire inflation pressures which are on the tire information label on the driver side B-pillar. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.

Before operating your vehicle at high speeds:

• Verify your tires have the correct pressures.

• Inspect wheels and tires for wear and damage. Replace any damaged wheels and tires.

• Check and set lug nut torque.

• Verify fluid levels for oil, coolant, brake and hydraulic fluid.

• Change the oil and filter prior to use on the track.

After operating your vehicle at high speeds or track day driving, do the following:

• Set the tire pressure to the proper specification.

• Check and set the lug nut torque.

• Check all fluid levels.

• Check the front and rear wheel bearings for abnormal wear.

• Inspect brake caliper dust boots for abnormal wear.

¹ Change the fluid every 500 mi (800 km) or when a message appears in the instrument cluster display stating that the axle fluid is over temperature.

Properly burnish the brakes prior to heavy track use. Excessive brake noise may occur after the track burnish or track use. Perform this procedure in a safe manner on dry pavement, and in compliance with all local and state ordinances and laws regarding motor vehicle operation.

How to Burnish the Brakes

Initial low temperature bedding:

If your brakes already have 200 mi (322 km) or more of city driving, skip this step and go directly to the high temperature bedding cycle procedure. Otherwise, perform at least 30 stops from 50 mph (80 km/h) at 1/3 g deceleration with 1 mi (1.2 km) spacing between stops. A deceleration gauge can be accessed through the Track Apps menu in your touchscreen.

High temperature bedding cycle:

Beginning with cool brakes, perform 15 consecutive stops back to back, accelerating at 3/4 throttle to 80 mph (128 km/h) and braking to 20 mph (32 km/h) at 1.0 g deceleration. The brakes may emit an odor or smoke during this part of the procedure.

Cool down:

Cool the brakes down by driving one or two laps, 5 mi (8 km), at 60 mph (96 km/h) with minimal to no brake usage.

Recovery low temperature bedding:

Perform at least 30 stops from 50 mph (80 km/h) at 1/3 g deceleration with 0.7 mi (1.2 km) spacing between stops. A deceleration gauge can be accessed through the Track Apps menu in your touchscreen.

If you plan to participate in road course track days, we recommend the following chassis settings for optimal tire wear and handling performance. All settings are at curb loading condition full of fuel.

Note: After your track day is complete, return your car to the street alignment and tire pressures.

Note: Using these wheel alignment settings could cause excessive tire wear. Only use these settings for racing or competitive driving.

Your vehicle has adjustable strut mounts which you can use to adjust the camber of your vehicle before and after a track event to the specifications listed in the Road Course Alignment Recommendations table.

Note: After your track day is complete, return your car to the street alignment and tire pressures.

Note: The adjustable camber front strut mounts are fitted with three set screws that must be removed before camber can be adjusted. If you cannot adjust the camber, please see your authorized dealer or call 800-367-3788 for more details to remove the set screws.

The rear Gurney flap must be removed for on-road driving.

Your vehicle may include a removable Gurney flap in the luggage compartment. The Gurney flap greatly enhances high speed stability and performance on the track. It is recommended that you use the Gurney flap at all tracks featuring high speed corners and can be used at any track regardless of cornering speeds.

You could benefit from the removal Gurney flap to improve low speed balance on smaller tracks with maximum cornering speeds below 70 mph (112 km/h). We recommend that you attach the Gurney flap for all track events and carefully assess both the vehicle’s condition and your capability before removal.

Note: The Gurney flap comes with longer size bolts to install it onto the rear spoiler. Do not use the longer size bolts without the Gurney flap attached or damage to the spoiler may occur.

If you plan on storing your vehicle for 30 days or more, the following maintenance recommendations makes sure your vehicle stays in good operating condition.

General

• Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated place.

• If vehicles are stored outside, they require regular maintenance to protect against rust and weather damage.

• Make sure all linkages, cables, levers and pins under your vehicle are covered with grease to prevent rust.

• Move vehicles at least 25 ft (7.5 m) every 15 days to lubricate working parts and prevent corrosion.

• Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel until the first automatic shutoff of the fuel pump nozzle.

Engine

• Change the engine oil and filter prior to storage because used engine oil contains contaminants which may cause engine damage.

• Start the engine every 15 days for a minimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast idle with the climate controls set to defrost until the engine reaches normal operating temperature.

• With your foot on the brake, shift through all the gears while the engine is running.

Body

• Wash your vehicle thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from exterior surfaces, rear wheel housings and the underside of front fenders.

• Periodically wash your vehicle if it is stored in exposed locations.

• Touch-up exposed or primed metal to prevent rust.

• Cover chrome and stainless steel parts with a thick coat of auto wax to prevent discoloration. Rewax as necessary when you wash your vehicle.

• Lubricate all hood, door and luggage compartment hinges and latches with a light grade oil.

• Cover interior trim to prevent fading.

• Keep all rubber parts free from oil and solvents.

12 Volt Battery

• When storing your vehicle for longer than 30 days the battery state of charge should be approximately 50%. Additionally, we recommend to disconnect the 12v battery to reduce system loads on the battery, or you can use a trickle charger for longer storage periods.

• Check and recharge as necessary. Keep connections clean.

Tires

• Maintain recommended air pressure.

• To minimize flat spots on the tires, inflate all four tires to the recommended cold pressures listed on the Safety Compliance Certification label or Tire Label affixed to your vehicle. When the vehicle is taken out of storage, reset the tire pressures as necessary.

Brakes

• Make sure the brakes and parking brake fully release.

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 the underhood for any foreign materials such as mice or squirrel nests.

• Check the exhaust for any foreign materials.

• Check tire pressures and set tire inflation per the Tire Label.

• Check brake pedal operation. Corroded brake rotors could cause brake noise. Drive your vehicle and gently apply and release the brakes repeatedly over a 10-minute drive to reduce the corrosion from the brakes.

• 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.

Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide a safe ride and handling capability.

WARNING: Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size, load index, speed rating, and type as those originally provided for your vehicle. The recommended tire and wheel sizes can be found on the Tire Label on the driver side door frame or the edge of the driver door. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended, could affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, when mounting replacement tires and wheels, you should not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire to set the beads without additional precautions. If the beads do not seat at the maximum pressure indicated, re-lubricate and try again.

WARNING: For a mounting pressure more than 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater than the maximum pressure, a Ford dealer or other tire service professional should do the mounting.

WARNING: Always inflate steel carcass tires with a remote air fill with the person inflating standing at a minimum of 12 ft (3.66 m) away from the wheel and tire assembly.

WARNING: Only use the specified jacking points. If you use any other locations you could damage vehicle components, such as brake lines.

In general, tires should be replaced after six years regardless of tread wear. However, heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process and may require tires to be replaced more frequently. You should replace your spare tire when you replace the road tires or after six years due to aging even if it has not been used.

WARNING: Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h). Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING: Do not use snow chains on snow-free roads.

WARNING: Only fit snow chains to specified tires.

WARNING: If your vehicle is fitted with wheel trims, remove them before fitting snow chains.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:

• Use ultra low profile cables, 10 mm or less in dimension as measured on the sidewall of your tire, with 235/55R17, 235/50R18, 255/45R18 and 255/40R19 on the rear axle only.

• Do not use snow chains or cables with 275/40R19, 305/30R19, 315/30R19, and 265/35R20.

• Not all S-class snow chains or cables meet the same restrictions. Chains of this size restriction include a tensioning device.

• Purchase chains or cables from a manufacturer that clearly labels body to tire dimension restrictions. Mount the snow chains or cables in pairs on the rear tires only.

• When driving with snow chains do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) or the maximum speed recommended by the chain manufacturer, whichever is less.

• Install cables securely, verifying that the cables do not touch any wiring or brake lines.

• Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables rub or bang against the vehicle, stop and retighten them. If this does not work, remove the cables to prevent vehicle damage.

• Remove the tire chains when they are no longer needed. Do not use tire chains on dry roads.

WARNING: Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation or blowout, with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury.

Checking Tire Pressures:

Safe operation of your vehicle requires that your tires are properly inflated. Every day before you drive, check your tires. At least once a month and before long trips, inspect each tire and check the tire pressure with a tire gauge. Inflate all tires to the recommended inflation pressure.

Inflating the Tires:

Use the recommended cold inflation pressure for optimum tire performance and wear. Under-inflation or over-inflation may cause uneven treadwear patterns. Inflate your tires to the recommended inflation pressure even if it is less than the maximum inflation pressure information found on the tire. You can find the tire label with the recommended tire inflation pressure next to the tire size on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver door.

Checking Pressure when tires are hot:

If pressures are checked after tires have been driven for more than three minutes or more than 1 mile (2 km), the tires become hot and the pressures will increase by approximately 4 psi (27.6 kPa). Therefore when the tire pressure is adjusted under these conditions, it should be increased to a gauge reading of 4 psi (27.6 kPa) greater than the recommended cold inflation pressure. After inflating the tires while hot, make sure to recheck tire pressure later once the tires are cold.

For Example Only

The hot tire pressure is only 1 psi (10 kPa) greater than the recommended cold inflation pressure. Therefore, add 3 psi (20 kPa) more to increase the hot pressure to 4 psi (30 kPa) over the recommended cold inflation pressure.

When the tread is worn down to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm), tires must be replaced to help prevent your vehicle from skidding and hydroplaning. Built-in treadwear indicators, or wear bars, which look like narrow strips of smooth rubber across the tread will appear on the tire when the tread is worn down to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm). When the tire tread wears down to the same height as these wear bars, the tire is worn out and must be replaced.

Periodically inspect the tire treads for uneven or excessive wear and remove objects such as stones, nails or glass that may be wedged in the tread grooves.

Inspect the tire sidewalls for cracking, cuts, bruises and other signs of damage or excessive wear. If internal damage to the tire is suspected, have the tire dismounted and inspected in case it needs to be repaired or replaced. For your safety, tires that are damaged or show signs of excessive wear should not be used because they are more likely to blow out or fail.

Periodically inspect the tire treads and sidewalls for damage, such as bulges in the tread or sidewalls, cracks in the tread groove and separation in the tread or sidewall. If damage is observed or suspected, have the tire inspected by a tire professional.

WARNING: If the tire label shows different tire pressures for the front and rear tires and the vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system, then you need to update the settings for the system sensors. Always perform the system reset procedure after tire rotation. If you do not reset the system, it may not provide a low tire pressure warning when necessary.

Rotating your tires at the recommended interval helps your tires wear more evenly, providing better tire performance and longer tire life.

Note: If your tires show any uneven wear have the alignment checked by an authorized dealer before rotating tires.

Follow the diagram indicating the correct tire locations for rotating the tires.

• Non-directional tires (Rear-wheel drive): Front tires move straight back to the rear. Rear tires cross over to the opposite sides at the front.

• Vehicles equipped with different size tires on the front and rear axle: Front tires are swapped side-to-side. Rear tires are swapped side-to-side. They are not moved between the front and rear axles.

Precautions:

• WARNING: Depending on the type and extent of tire damage, some tires can only be partially sealed or not sealed at all. Loss of tire pressure can affect vehicle handling, leading to loss of vehicle control.

• WARNING: Do not use the kit on a previously damaged tire, for example when it has been driven under inflated. This could cause loss of vehicle control, personal injury or death.

• WARNING: Do not run the engine when operating the air compressor unless the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

• Before operating the kit, make sure your vehicle is safely off the road and away from moving traffic.

• Do not remove any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, from the tire.

• Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than 15 minutes.

• Only use the kit when the ambient temperature is between -22°F (-30°C) and 158°F (70°C).

• Only use the sealing compound before the use by date.

First Stage: Reinflating the Tire with sealing compound and air

1. Park the vehicle in a safe, level and secure area. Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking brake and power off the vehicle. Inspect the flat tire for visible damage. If a puncture is located in the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside assistance.

2. Follow the instructions for your specific kit solution to connect the hose to the tire valve.

3. Plug the power cable into the 12-volt power point in the vehicle.

4. Remove the warning sticker from the kit and place it on the instrument panel.

5. Turn the kit on and inflate the tire to the pressure listed on the tire label. Check the final tire pressure with the compressor turned off.

WARNING: If the tire does not inflate to the recommended tire pressure within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside assistance.

6. When the recommended tire pressure is reached, turn off the kit, unplug it, and disconnect the hose. Re-install the valve cap.

7. Drive the vehicle 4 mi (6 km) to evenly distribute the sealant. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

Second Stage: Checking the tire pressure with the inflator kit

1. After driving, stop and check the tire pressure again.

2. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.

3. Attach the air compressor hose to the valve stem.

4. Push and turn the dial to the air position (if applicable).

5. If required, turn on the compressor and adjust the tire to the recommended inflation pressure.

6. Remove the hoses, re-install the tire valve cap and return the kit to the rear of the vehicle.

After using the kit to seal your tire, replace the sealant canister. Sealant canisters and spare parts can be obtained at an authorized dealer. After using the sealant, an authorized dealer needs to replace the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and valve stem on the wheel.

WARNING: The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for manually checking tire pressures. You should periodically check tire pressures using a pressure gauge.

WARNING: Do not use the tire pressure displayed in the information display as a tire pressure gauge.

The low tire pressure warning lamp has combined functions, as it warns you when your tires need air, and when the system is no longer capable of functioning as intended.

WARNING: Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to not obstruct the flow of traffic and avoid the danger of being hit.

WARNING: The jack supplied with this vehicle is only intended for changing a flat tire in an emergency. Do not attempt to do any other work on your vehicle when it is supported by the jack.

1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake and activate the hazard flashers.

2. Place the transmission in park (P) and turn the engine off. For vehicles with a manual transmission, place the transmission in reverse (R) after the engine is turned off.

3. Block the wheels diagonally opposite the flat tire. For example, if the left front tire is flat, block the right rear wheel.

4. Open the luggage compartment and lift the access panel.

5. Remove the lug wrench, spare tire and jack.

6. Remove the center ornament from the wheel if required to access the lug nuts.

• Tampering or rendering inoperative the engine speed governor, to allow engine speed to exceed manufacturer specifications.

If the engine does not start, runs rough, experiences a decrease in engine performance, experiences excess fuel consumption or produces excessive exhaust smoke, check for the following:

• A plugged or disconnected air inlet system hose.

• A plugged engine air filter element.

• Water in the fuel filter and water separator.

• A clogged fuel filter.

• Contaminated fuel.

• Air in the fuel system, due to loose connections.

• An open or pinched sensor hose.

• Incorrect engine oil level.

• Incorrect fuel for climatic conditions.

• Incorrect engine oil viscosity for climactic conditions.

Note: Some vehicles have a lifetime fuel filter that is integrated with the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or replacement is not needed.

Note: If these checks do not help you correct the concern, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the airbag cover, on the side of the front or rear seatbacks, or in areas that may come into contact with a deploying airbag. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.

WARNING: Keep antenna and power cables at least 4 in (10 cm) from any electronic modules and airbags.

Note: We test and certify your vehicle to meet electromagnetic compatibility legislation. It is your responsibility to make sure that any equipment an authorized dealer installs on your vehicle complies with applicable local legislation and other requirements. Installation of some aftermarket electronic devices could degrade the performance of vehicle functions, which use radio frequency signals such as broadcast radio receiver, tire pressure monitoring system, push button start, Bluetooth® connectivity or satellite navigation.

Note: Any radio frequency transmitter equipment in your vehicle, such as, cellular telephones and amateur radio transmitters, must keep to the parameters in the following illustrations and table. We do not provide any other special provisions or conditions for installations or use.

This feature (if equipped) provides a smoother driving experience, particularly during a downshift event. Rev Matching commands a quick engine RPM match to the selected gear during a clutch pressed gear shift. You can switch this feature on and off through the touchscreen.

1. From the Track Apps menu, press Launch Control.

To set the RPM hold point:

1. From the Track Apps menu, press Launch Settings.

Note: You can also enable or disable the feature from this screen.

2. Use the slider bar or arrows to set the RPM value.

1. Make sure launch control is enabled.

2. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop.

3. The indicator illuminates white in the instrument cluster when launch control is ready.

4. Fully press and hold the clutch pedal.

5. Shift the transmission into first gear.

6. Fully press the accelerator pedal and keep it pressed. Allow the tachometer to settle at the RPM that you selected and wait for the indicator to turn green.

7. Release the clutch pedal.

If launch control is not available when you come to a stop:

• Wait for the engine to come to operating temperature. If the engine is too hot or cold, launch control is not available.

• Make sure the drive mode is not set to Slippery.

If the vehicle did not launch effectively:

• Adjust the RPM and practice releasing the clutch. It may take practice to get a feel for how quickly to release the clutch.

• Switch traction control on, this can reduce excessive wheel spin.

Keep in mind that weather, road surface, and tire conditions can also affect your launch.

With Traction Control Off

• Not ready.

• Ready to use.

• Active and ready to launch.

With Traction Control On

• Not ready.

• Ready to use.

• Active and ready to launch.

The Drift Brake (if equipped) allows you to lock up the rear tires to enable drift maneuvers.

Before drifting, make sure you are on a track, and have the necessary safety equipment including a certified helmet and approved neck restraint device. Work up to your limit while drifting, do not expect to be an expert right away.

Note: Drift brake is for track use only. Do not use it under any other driving conditions.

Note: Using this feature may result in significantly increased rear tire wear.

1. From the Track Apps menu, press Drift Brake.

2. Confirm the selection. This enables track mode.

Note: If track mode is already enabled, there is no confirmation message.

Note: Switching drift brake on automatically enables track mode. If you change to a different drive mode, drift brake disables.

3. Press Drift Brake again to switch it off.

Note: When you switch drift brake off, track mode remains on.

Note: When the feature is on, the brake handle applies braking to the rear wheels only and locks up the rear wheels. When the feature is off, the brake handle works like the foot brake and applies braking to all four wheels.

Two important things to note when driving a vehicle with an automatic transmission:

• Keep the RPM high when drifting to prevent unintentional engine stall. The engine RPM drops rapidly when locking the rear wheels, so it is best to be on the throttle prior to and after pulling the handle to prevent stalling.

• Using the paddle shifters or manual shift mode enhances your ability to keep the vehicle in the power band. This way when you release the drift brake you can quickly get back on the throttle and maintain your drift.

As your drifting skills develop, it may be beneficial to turn off other vehicle control systems such as traction control and electronic stability control. Before returning to public roads, re-enable both systems.

Drifting in a manual transmission gives you more control over the chosen gear, which allows you to make sure you have correct application of power to maintain the drift.

Two things to note while drifting in a manual transmission vehicle:

• Make sure to disengage the clutch immediately prior to pulling the drift brake. This prevents fighting engine torque and prevents unintended stalls.

• After releasing the drift brake, rapidly engage the clutch and get back on the throttle to maintain your drift.

As your drifting skills develop, it may be beneficial to turn off other vehicle control systems such as traction control and electronic stability control. Before returning to public roads, re-enable both systems.

For maximum vehicle performance, keep the following information in mind when adding accessories or equipment to your vehicle:

• When adding accessories, equipment, passengers and luggage to your vehicle, do not exceed the total weight capacity of the vehicle or of the front or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as indicated on the Safety Compliance Certification label). Ask an authorized dealer for specific weight information.

• The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulate the use of mobile communications systems that are equipped with radio transmitters, for example two-way radios, telephones and theft alarms. Any such equipment installed in your vehicle should comply with regulations and should be installed only by an authorized dealer.

• An authorized dealer needs to install mobile communications systems. Improper installation may harm the operation of your vehicle.

• If you or an authorized Ford dealer add any non-Ford electrical or electronic accessories or components to your vehicle, you may adversely affect battery performance and durability. In addition, you may also adversely affect the performance of other electrical systems in the vehicle.

Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you should change the engine oil based on how you use your vehicle. By using several important factors in its calculations, the monitor helps reduce the cost of owning your vehicle and reduces environmental waste at the same time.

This means you do not have to remember to change the oil on a mileage-based schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due by displaying a message in the information display.

Actual oil change intervals depend on several factors and generally decrease with severity of use.

¹ Do not exceed one year or 10,000 mi (16,000 km) between service intervals.

² Reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor after engine oil and filter changes.

¹ Perform this maintenance item every three years. Do not exceed the designated time for the interval.

² Brake fluid servicing requires special equipment available at your authorized dealer.

¹ Perform these maintenance items within 3,000 mi (4,800 km) of the last engine oil and filter change. Do not exceed the designated distance for the interval.

² After initial inspection, inspect every other oil change until replaced.

³ Initial replacement at 10 years or 200,000 mi (320,000 km), then every 5 years or 100,000 mi (160,000 km).

Axle Maintenance: Change the axle fluid anytime an axle is submerged in water. If you receive an axle overtemperature warning message in the instrument cluster display and a wrench warning indicator appears, you should change the rear axle fluid at the next convenient time. The wrench warning indicator turns off when you switch off your vehicle.

Timing Chain: If you use your vehicle extensively at a racetrack or at high rpm, it is possible to exceed the service life of the engine timing chain. A wrench indicator light will illuminate when it is time for you to replace your chain. See an authorized dealer.

Hot Climate Oil Change Intervals: Vehicles operating in the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or locations with similar climates using an American Petroleum Institute (API) Certified for Gasoline Engines (Certification mark) oil of SM or SN quality, the oil change interval is 3,000 mi (4,800 km). If the available API SM or SN oils are not available, then the oil change interval is 2,000 mi (2,900 km).

Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter Replacement: The life of the engine air filter and cabin air filter is dependent on exposure to dusty and dirty conditions. Vehicles operated in these conditions require frequent inspection and replacement of the engine air filter and cabin air filter.

A vehicle that is driven for short trips of less than 5-10 mi (8–16 km), driving in temperatures well below or above average, driving in any dusty conditions, idling more than recommended such as in traffic, and driving with a heavy load or while towing a load are considered severe driving conditions. If the vehicle is driven in any of these conditions, follow the severe service maintenance items listed in the scheduled maintenance chart.

High performance vehicles can be driven in such a way that may lead to higher oil consumption (this includes extended time at high engine speeds, high loads, engine braking, hard cornering maneuvers, and track use). Under these conditions, oil consumption of approximately 1 quart per 500 miles (1 liter per 800 km) is possible. As a result, you need to check the engine oil level at every refueling and adjust to maintain the proper level, and to avoid engine damage.

Note: Oil level should not exceed the maximum mark on the indicator.

In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic and, by itself, does not necessarily indicate a concern or that the fluid needs to be changed. However, a qualified expert, such as the factory-trained technicians at your dealership, should immediately inspect discolored fluids that also show signs of overheating or foreign material contamination.

Make sure to change your vehicle’s oils and fluids at the specified intervals or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable way to change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems during scheduled maintenance. It is critical that systems are flushed only with new fluid that is the same as that required to fill and operate the system or using a Ford-approved flushing chemical.
