PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
Sustainability is a priority at Ford. We are
constantly looking for ways to reduce our
impact on the planet while providing
customers with great products and
delivering a strong business. You should
play your part in protecting the
environment. Correct vehicle usage and
the authorized disposal of waste, cleaning
and lubrication materials are significant
steps toward this aim.

NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL
In order to keep to the federal exterior
noise regulations, your vehicle may be
equipped with noise emission items.
Depending on your vehicle configuration,
it may have all or some of the following
items:
Air Intake System
Inspect the air cleaner. Do not alter its
location. Do not alter inlet and outlet
piping.
Body
Inspect wheel well splash shields, cab
shields and under hood insulation for
deterioration, dislocation and orientation.
Cooling System
• Inspect the fan for blade damage. If
you find any damage, replace with the
recommended parts. Inspect for
fan-to-shroud interference and any
damage to shroud, such as cracks and
holes.
• Do not change fan ratio or alter fan
spacer dimensions and positions.
• Inspect fan clutch for proper operation.
Make sure the fan is disengaged when
cooling of the engine is not required.
• Inspect radiator shutters (if equipped)
for proper operation. The shutters
should be open during normal
operating temperatures.
Engine
Valve covers and block covers damp-out
engine mechanical noise. If they need
replacing, make sure to replace them with
the recommended parts. Check for
mechanical isolations.
Transmission Enclosure
Inspect for cracks, holes and tears. Clean
any deposits, such as oil, dirt and stones.
Exhaust System
• Inspect for leaks at various joint
connections and loose clamps.
• Perform a visual inspection for cracks
or holes in the muffler and tail pipe.
• Always use the recommended
replacement parts.

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM
Note:The system is not compatible with
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems.
Use of these systems could result in engine
starting problems and a loss of security
protection.
Note:Prevent these objects from touching
the coded key when starting your vehicle.
Metallic objects, electronic devices or a
second coded key on the same key chain
could result in vehicle starting problems,
especially if they are too close to the key
when starting your vehicle. Switch the
ignition off, move all objects on the key
chain away from the coded key and restart
your vehicle if a problem occurs.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in your vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving your vehicle.
SecuriLock®
The system helps prevent the engine from
starting unless you use a coded key
programmed to your vehicle. Using the
wrong key may prevent your vehicle from
starting. A message may appear in the
information display.
If you are unable to start your vehicle with
a coded key, it is not operating correctly.
A message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
The system arms when you switch the
ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
The system disarms when you switch the
ignition on with a coded key.Replacement Keys
Your vehicle may have two integrated
keyhead transmitters.
The integrated keyhead transmitter
functions as a programmed ignition key
that starts your vehicle.
If your programmed transmitters or
standard SecuriLock coded keys become
lost or stolen and you do not have an extra
coded key, you need to have your vehicle
towed to an authorized dealer. You need
to erase the key codes from your vehicle
and program new coded keys.
Store an extra programmed key away from
your vehicle in a safe place. To purchase
additional spare or replacement keys,
contact an authorized dealer.
If you have a spare key, you need to
program it. See Replacing a Lost Key or
Remote Control (page 47).

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure. At normal
operating temperature, the level indicator
is in the normal range. If the pressure gauge
falls below the normal range, stop your
vehicle, switch off the engine and check
the engine oil level. Add oil if needed. If the
oil level is correct, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
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.
Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop your vehicle as soon as
possible, switch off the engine and let the
engine cool.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates about how much
fuel is in the fuel tank.
The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump
symbol indicates on which side of your
vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a slope.Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty
reaches 50 mi (80 km), 25 mi (40 km),
10 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km) for all
vehicle keys.
Note:The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.
Distance to Empty
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in
the tank. Changes in driving pattern can
cause the value to not only decrease but
also increase or stay constant for periods
of time.
Configurable Gauge
Transmission Fluid Temperature Gauge
Indicates transmission fluid temperature.
At normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the
transmission fluid temperature exceeds
the normal range, stop your vehicle as soon
as possible and verify the airflow is not
restricted by snow or debris blocking
airflow through the grille.
Special operating conditions such as
snowplowing, towing, or off-road use may
cause higher than normal operating
temperatures. See Special Operating
Conditions Scheduled Maintenance
(page 329).
To lower the transmission temperature
into the normal range, alter the severity of
your driving conditions. Operating the
transmission for extended periods with the
gauge in the higher than normal area may
cause internal transmission damage. If the
gauge continues to show high
temperatures, see an authorized dealer.
