13    INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE 
CONTROLLER* assists in smooth and effective 
trailer braking by powering the trailer’s electric or 
electric over hydraulic brakes with a proportional 
output based on the towing vehicle’s  
brake pressure. 
   Use  the  GAIN adjustment buttons to increase or 
decrease the braking feature’s power output to the 
trailer. Adjust the GAIN by:
 
A.    Pressing the GAIN + or GAIN – buttons  
to increase or decrease the setting to the 
desired starting point. A GAIN setting  
of 6.0 is a good starting point for  
heavier loads.
 
B.  Testing the adjusted GAIN setting. 
   1.    In a traffic-free environment, tow the  
trailer on a dry, level surface at a speed of 
20-25 mph (30-40 km/h) and squeeze the 
manual control lever completely.
   2.   If the trailer wheels lock up (the tires will 
squeal), reduce the GAIN setting. If the trailer 
wheels turn freely, increase the  
GAIN setting.
   3.   The proper GAIN setting will be at the point 
just below trailer wheel lock-up. If towing a 
heavier trailer, trailer wheel lockup may not 
be attainable even with the maximum GAIN 
setting of 10.
For more information, please refer to the Towing 
chapter in your Owner’s Manual.

SYNC® WITH MYFORD TOUCH®*
 page 13 page 12*if equipped
GET IN TOUCH USING YOUR FOUR-CORNER TOUCHSCREEN
Phone, Navigation*, Climate and Entertainment are the four main features of SYNC® with MyFord Touch®.  
Each feature has its own corner represented by its own color.
A REVOLUTIONARY WAY TO CONNECT WITH YOUR VEHICLE.
PAIRING YOUR PHONE WITH  
MYFORD TOUCH
Pair your phone to SYNC before using 
MyFord Touch. Make sure that your 
vehicle is in park (P) and you switch on 
both your ignition and radio.
1.    Touch Add Phone in the upper left 
corner of the touchscreen.
2.   Make sure that you switch on 
Bluetooth in your cellular phone.
3.   Select SYNC on your cellular 
phone and a six-digit PIN 
appears on your device.
4.   You may be prompted to enter a PIN 
on your device. To pair, enter the PIN 
displayed on the touchscreen.
5.   Confirm that the PIN provided by 
SYNC matches the PIN displayed on 
your cellular phone.
6.   The display indicates when the pairing 
is successful.
Use the four-corner, four-color touchscreen to explore and interact with your vehicle. The touchscreen works the same way 
traditional controls, knobs and buttons do. Press the various corners on your touchscreen to personalize the many features and 
settings of your vehicle all in one place, and press the home icon 
 at any time to return to your home screen. The system provides 
easy interaction with your cellular phone, multimedia entertainment, climate controls and navigation system*.
     PHONE
Voice-control your phone for hands-free 
calling with your phone securely tucked 
away. With SYNC, you do not need to know 
the phone number. Just say the name of 
the person you want from your contacts. 
Your phone connects you with many  
other features:
  •  Automatically connects with a 911 
operator in the event of an accident 
(you must switch this feature on prior 
to the event).
  •  Transfer calls seamlessly from SYNC  
to your phone as you get in or out of 
your vehicle.
Refer to the SYNC chapter of your Owner’s 
Manual for complete details.
 NAVIGATION*
Get started with your navigation system 
by pressing the upper-right green corner. 
The available, voice-activated navigation 
system includes: 
  •  SiriusXM Traffic™ 
  •  SiriusXM Travel Link™ 
  •  GPS (Global Positioning  
System) technology 
  •  3-D mapping 
  •  Turn-by-turn navigation
Some features require activation. Refer to 
the MyFord Touch chapter of your Owner’s 
Manual for complete details.
SET A DESTINATION
Set a destination on your touchscreen by 
using a street address, a city center, a place 
on the map or a point of interest (POI). The 
easiest way, however, is by voice. 1.   
Press the VOICE button. When 
prompted, say “Destination   
street address”.
2.   The system asks you to say the full 
address and then displays an example 
on-screen. 
3.   You can then speak the address 
naturally, such as: “One two three Main 
Street, Anytown”.
You can also use the touchscreen to enter 
a destination and narrow your choices by 
city or street as you type. You can choose 
from up to three different types of routes: 
  •  Fastest:  Uses the fastest moving  
roads possible.
  •  Shortest: Uses the shortest  
distance possible.
  •  Eco (EcoRoute): Uses the most  
fuel-efficient route.
TIPS
  •  Save your favorite locations by 
touching Save to Favorites.
  •  Change your map views from 
Direction Headed, North Up or 3-D.
Note: Make sure the navigation SD card*  
is in the media port or your navigation 
system will not work.

ESSENTIAL FEATURES
EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
Your vehicle’s fuel system allows you to 
open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle 
and start fueling. Wait 10 seconds from the 
time the refueling nozzle is shut off until 
you remove the nozzle from the vehicle to 
allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain 
into the tank. 
The Easy Fuel system is self-sealing and 
therefore protected against dust, dirt, 
water, snow and ice. If you need to fill your 
fuel tank with a portable fuel container, 
use the fuel funnel which is attached to 
the underside of the spare tire cover or 
is included with the tire changing tools. 
Slowly insert the funnel into the Easy Fuel 
system and fill the tank with fuel from the 
container. When done, clean the funnel or 
properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be 
purchased from your authorized dealer. 
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as 
they will not work with the Easy Fuel system 
and may cause damage.
FUEL TYPE AND FUEL TANK CAPACITY 
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank 
has a capacity of either 28 gallons (106L) 
or 33.5 gallons (126.8L). 
Use only UNLEADED gasoline blended 
with a maximum of 15% ethanol and an 87 
octane rating. Do not use E85 (ethanol), 
diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any 
other fuel because it could damage or 
impair the emission control system. 
FUEL-EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION
Your vehicle has been designed to improve 
fuel economy by reducing fuel usage 
while coasting or decelerating. This may 
be perceived as a light to medium braking 
sensation when removing your foot from 
the accelerator pedal.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire 
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 
that displays a low tire pressure warning 
light when one or more of your tires are 
significantly under-inflated. If this happens, 
stop and check your tires as soon as possible. 
Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to 
the  Inflating Your Tires section in the Wheels 
and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for 
more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
The temporary spare tire is located under 
the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper. 
The temporary spare is designed for 
emergency use only and you should replace 
it as soon as possible. The jack and tools are 
in the access panel on the floor behind the 
third-row seat. Make sure that you switch 
off the deployable running boards* as well 
as the automatic load leveling suspension 
system* prior to jacking, hoisting or towing 
your vehicle. For complete details on how 
to change your tire, refer to the Wheels and 
Tires  chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
REAR WINDOW BUFFETING
You may hear a pulsing noise when one or 
both of the rear windows are open. Lower a 
front window slightly to reduce this noise.
 page 19 page 18
SELECTSHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION*
Gives you the ability to manually change gears if you like. To use, 
move the gearshift lever from drive (D) to manual (M).
 •   
Press the (+) button to upshift.
 •    Press the (–) button to downshift.
To return back to automatic shifts, move the gearshift lever  
from manual (M) to drive (D).
POWER LIFTGATE OPERATION*
You can open your power liftgate three 
different ways:
 •    Push the control on the instrument panel. 
 •    Press the control on your remote entry 
transmitter twice within three seconds.
 •    Press the liftgate control located on the inside  
of the liftgate handle. 
To close with the rear cargo area button, press and release  
the control located on the left, rear quarter panel.
SECURICODE KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD*

operate the keypad with the factory-set, 5-digit entry code. This 
code is on the owner’s wallet card in the glove box.
