Suppose your vehicle has a1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargoand luggage capacity. You andone of your friends decide to pickup cement from the local homeimprovement store to finish thatpatio you have been planning forthe past two years. Measuring theinside of the vehicle with the rearseat folded down, you have roomfor twelve 100-pound(45-kilogram) bags of cement. Doyou have enough load capacity totransport the cement to yourhome? If you and your friend eachweigh 220 pounds (99 kilograms),the calculation would be: 1400 -(2 x 220) - (12 x 100) = 1400 - 440- 1200 = - 240 pounds. No, you donot have enough cargo capacityto carry that much weight. Inmetric units, the calculation wouldbe: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99kilograms) - (12 x 45 kilograms) =635 - 198 - 540 = -103 kilograms.You will need to reduce the loadweight by at least 240 pounds(104 kilograms). If you removethree 100-pound (45-kilogram)cement bags, then the loadcalculation would be: 1400 - (2 x220) - (9 x 100) = 1400 - 440 -900 = 60 pounds. Now you havethe load capacity to transport thecement and your friend home. Inmetric units, the calculation wouldbe: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99kilograms) - (9 x 45 kilograms) =635 - 198 - 405 = 32 kilograms.
The above calculations alsoassume that the loads arepositioned in your vehicle in amanner that does not overloadthe front or the rear gross axleweight rating specified for yourvehicle on the Safety ComplianceCertification label.
ROOF RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
ROOF RACK PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Read and follow themanufacturer's instructions when youare fitting a roof rack.
WARNING: When loading the roofracks, we recommend you evenlydistribute the load, as well as maintaina low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles,with higher centers of gravity, mayhandle differently than unloadedvehicles. Take extra precautions, suchas slower speeds and increased stoppingdistance, when driving a heavily loadedvehicle.
Note:If you use a roof rack, the fuelconsumption of your vehicle will be higherand you may experience different drivingcharacteristics.
Note:Never place loads directly on the roofpanel. The roof panel is not designed todirectly carry a load.
You must place loads directly on thecrossbars fitted to the roof rack side rails.When using the roof rack system, werecommend that you use genuine Fordaccessory crossbars specifically designedfor your vehicle.

It is your responsibility to have allscheduled maintenance performed and tomake sure that the materials used meetthe specifications identified in this owner'smanual. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 461).
Failure to perform scheduled maintenanceand regularly inspect your vehicle mayresult in vehicle damage not covered bythe vehicle Warranty.
Why Maintain Your Vehicle at YourDealership?
Our Genuine Replacement Parts
Dealerships stock our parts and ourauthorized branded remanufacturedreplacement parts. These parts meet orexceed our specifications. Parts installedat your dealership carry a nationwide24-month or unlimited mile (kilometer)parts and labor limited warranty.
If you do not use our authorized parts, theymay not meet our specifications and couldaffect emissions compliance.
Protecting Your Investment
Maintenance is an investment that paysdividends in the form of improvedreliability, durability and resale value. Tomaintain the proper performance of yourvehicle and its emission control systems,make sure you have scheduledmaintenance performed at the designatedintervals.
Your vehicle comes with the IntelligentOil-Life Monitor system, a messageappears in the instrument cluster displayat the proper oil change interval. Thisinterval may be up to one year or 10,000 mi(16,000 km), hybrid vehicles could exceed10,000 mi (16,000 km).
When the oil change message appears inthe instrument cluster display, it is time foran oil change. Make sure you perform theoil change within two weeks or 500 mi(800 km) of the message appearing. Makesure to reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitorafter each oil change. See Resetting theIntelligent Oil Life Monitor (page 355).
If your instrument cluster display resetsprematurely or becomes inoperative, youshould perform the oil change interval atsix months or 5,000 mi (8,000 km) fromyour last oil change. Never exceed one yearor 10,000 mi (16,000 km) between oilchange intervals.
You can drive your vehicle in such a waythat may lead to higher oil consumptionincluding extended time at high enginespeeds, high loads, engine braking, hardcornering maneuvers, track and off-roadusage. Under these conditions, oilconsumption of approximately 1 quart per500 miles (1 liter per 800 km) is possible.Check the engine oil level at every refuelingand adjust to maintain proper levels toavoid engine damage.
