•Inform— Inform shows the fuel level, battery display and average
fuel economy, with options available for the Battery Display and an
Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge. When the vehicle is operating on
battery power only, EV is displayed. Hold OK to reset average fuel
economy.
•
Enlighten— Enlighten displays power demand in addition to the typical
information and options from Inform. The Instantaneous Fuel Economy
gauge will be displayed by default. When the vehicle is operating on
battery power only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.
When both the engine and the electric motor are providing power the
gauge fill is white. Hold OK to reset average fuel economy.
•Engage— Engage replaces the power demand gauge from Enlighten
with separate gauges for engine power and electric motor power. The
engine power gauge fill is white and the high voltage battery power
gauge fill is blue. When the vehicle is operating on battery power only,
EV is displayed. Hold OK to reset average fuel economy.
•Empower— Empower adds an engine on/off threshold to the power
demand gauge from Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a blue
double outline. The gauge is designed to show you how close you are
to the gasoline engine on/off threshold and how much power you are
requesting by how much you press on the accelerator pedal.
When power demand is below the threshold the vehicle is operating on
battery power only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.
When power demand exceeds the threshold both the engine and the
high voltage battery provide power and the gauge fill is white.
When power demand surpasses the amber indicator, this level of
demand and associated fuel economy are shown in amber.
Hold OK to reset average fuel economy.
MyView— You can choose what to display in this view. Selecting
Change MyView in the Options menu allows you to scroll through two
columns of content choices. The content you select is saved to the
current driver’s key as MyView.

•Split Power— This gauge indicates the power being supplied by the
vehicle’s two power sources: the high voltage battery and the gasoline
engine. When the hybrid system is operating in electric vehicle mode
(without the gasoline engine), EV is displayed.
•Power + Threshold — When the transmission is in a drive gear only,
this gauge shows you vehicle power demand and gasoline engine
on/off threshold. It is designed to show you how close you are to
the gasoline engine on/off threshold and how much power you are
requesting by how much you press on the accelerator pedal.
•Tach rpm x 1000— When the gasoline engine is running, the
tachometer gauge displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute
(RPM). When the vehicle is operating on battery power only, EV is
displayed and the tachometer is greyed out.
•Accessory Power— Indicates electrical power demands from your
vehicle’s accessory systems. Accessories use power but do not
contribute to propelling the vehicle. The gauge separately displays
power demand in kilowatts (kW) for climate and other accessories.
Climate includes the power being used by high voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C compressor and the electric
heater (Energi vehicles only). Other includes all power being used by
the low voltage accessories (cabin fans, headlights, heated seats, etc.)
•Battery Display — The high voltage battery display options include
Regen Active, Charge Assist and Charge Level.
•Regen Active — A circular arrow symbol appears over the center of
the battery when energy is being recaptured through the regenerative
braking system.
•Charge Assist — An arrow above the battery indicates the battery is
being charged; an arrow below the battery indicates that battery
power is being used for propulsion or to power the vehicle
accessories.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies and Reception Factors
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz
FM: 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio reception factors
Distance and
strengthThe further you travel from an FM station,
the weaker the signal and the weaker the
reception.
TerrainHills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges,
tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking garages,
dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with the reception.
Station overloadWhen you pass a ground-based broadcast
repeating tower, a stronger signal may
overtake a weaker one and result in the audio
system muting.
CD and CD Player Information
Note:CD units play commercially pressed 4.75-inch (12 centimeter)
audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain
recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not function correctly
when used in Ford CD players.
Note:Do not insert CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels into
the CD player as the label may peel and cause the CD to become
jammed. You should use a permanent felt tip marker rather than
adhesive labels on your homemade CDs. Ballpoint pens may damage
CDs. Please contact your authorized dealer for further information.
Note:Do not use any irregularly shaped discs or discs with a scratch
protection film attached.
Always handle discs by their edges only. Clean the disc with an approved
CD cleaner only. Wipe it from the center of the disc toward the edge.
Do not clean in a circular motion.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods.

Select a temperature for the passenger’s side using the rotary control
on the passenger’s side. Mono mode automatically switches off. The

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION
WARNING:Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat
back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seat
back, with your feet on the floor.
WARNING:Do not recline the seat back as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe
personal injury in the event of a crash.
WARNING:Do not place objects higher than the seat backs to
reduce the risk of injury in a crash or during heavy braking or
when stopping suddenly.
When you use them properly, the
seat, head restraint, safety belt
and airbags will provide optimum
protection in the event of a crash.
We recommend that you follow
these guidelines:
•Do not recline the seat back
more than 30 degrees from
vertical.
•Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as
possible.
•Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of
your head and as far forward as possible, remaining comfortable.
•Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel.
We recommend a minimum of 10 inches (250 millimeters) between
your breastbone and the airbag cover.
•Hold the steering wheel with your arms slightly bent.
•Bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully.
•Position the shoulder strap of the safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can
maintain full control of your vehicle.
