•
As your vehicle determines the amount
of engine motoring and high-voltage
battery charging, you may notice the
engine speed increasing and
decreasing to help maintain your
vehicle speed when descending a
slope.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud
or Snow
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
it may be rocked out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature or
damage to the transmission could occur.
Note: Do not rock the vehicle for more than
a minute or damage to the transmission and

•
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.
Engine
• Change the engine oil and filter prior to
storage because used engine oil
contains contaminates 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.
• We recommend that you change the
engine oil before you use your vehicle
again.
Fuel system
• Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel
until the first automatic shutoff of the
fuel pump nozzle.
Cooling system
• Protect against freezing temperatures.
• When removing your vehicle from
storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm that there are no cooling
system leaks and that fluid is at the
recommended level. Disconnecting Your 12 Volt Battery
•
Check and recharge as necessary. Keep
connections clean.
• If storing your vehicle for more than 30
days without recharging the battery,
we recommend that you disconnect
the battery cables to maintain battery
charge for quick starting.
Note: It is necessary to reset memory
features if you disconnect the battery
cables.
Plugging in Your HYBRID
We recommend the following options for
your plug-in vehicle (PHEV) :
• Leave your vehicle plugged in. The 12
volt battery maintains power if left
plugged in. However, this periodically
uses electricity from the household
outlet.
• Connect a battery charger to your 12
volt battery and leave it on a
continuous, slow charge.
• Disconnect the 12 volt battery. If your
12 volt battery is located in the luggage
compartment, do not fully shut the
luggage compartment after
disconnecting the 12 volt battery. Only
leave the luggage compartment open
if your vehicle is stored in a locked
location.
Brakes
• Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.
Tires
• Maintain recommended air pressure.

Navigation Map Accuracy and
Updates
HERE is the digital map provider for the
navigation application. If you find map data
errors, you may report them directly to
HERE by going to www.here.com. HERE
evaluates all reported map errors and
responds with the result of their
investigation by e-mail.
The navigation system map data may
contain inaccurate or incomplete
information due to the passage of time,
changing circumstances, sources used and
the nature of collecting comprehensive
geographic data, any of which may lead to
incorrect results. Inaccurate speed limit
information, turn restrictions and other
road attributes may affect the determined
route and associated guidance
Annual navigation map updates are
available for purchase through your
dealership. Depending on your purchase
agreement, you might be eligible for free
Map update. You can choose to download
the Map data update onto a USB, order a
USB, or use Wi-Fi to deliver automatic
updates. To update your Map data over
Wi-Fi, your vehicle must be connected to
a Wi-Fi access point. Map Data files are
large, so it is highly recommended to
perform the update when free Wi-Fi is
available otherwise high data rates may
apply. For USB updates, free map update
eligibility, and other details, contact
dealers at 1-866-462-8837 in the United
States and Canada or 01-800-557-5539
in Mexico or visit our local website for more
information.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION
Power Flow The Power Flow information for
your plug-in hybrid vehicle is
available through the Home
screen or under Apps.
Vehicle Operational States
Power will flow to or from the front and
rear wheels depending on operational
state and drive conditions.
• Idling: The vehicle is running and in Park
(P). The engine and, or the high voltage
battery are on.
• Electric Driving: The vehicle is running
and in Drive (D) or Neutral (N). The
high voltage battery provides power to
the wheels.
• Hybrid Driving: The vehicle is running
and in Drive (D) or Neutral (N). The
engine and the high voltage battery
provide power to the wheels.
• Engine Driving: The vehicle is running
and in Drive (D) or Neutral (N). The
engine provides power to the wheels.
• Regenerative Braking: The vehicle is
running in Drive gear and is slowing
down. Power captured by the
regenerative braking system is sent
back to the high voltage battery.
• Charging: The vehicle is plugged in and
the high voltage battery is being
charged.
Engine On Due To
The following conditions help to explain
why the engine is on, and what you can do
to allow all electric operation.

•
Drive Power: The engine is on due to
accelerator pedal pressure or speed
control activation. Reduce pressure on
the accelerator pedal or switch off the
speed control to return to full electric
mode.
• High Speed: The engine is on because
the vehicle speed exceeds the level for
full electric operation. Reduce the
speed to return to electric operation.
• Heater Setting: The engine is on
because of the heater setting. Reduce
or turn off the heater setting to return
to electric operation.
• Neutral Gear: The engine is on because
the vehicle is in Neutral (N). Shift out
of neutral gear to return to electric
operation.
• Engine Cold: The engine is on because
it is cold. The vehicle returns to electric
operation once the engine is sufficiently
warm.
• Battery Charging: The engine is on to
charge the high-voltage battery. The
vehicle returns to electric operation
once the battery is charged.
• Low Gear: The engine is on because
the vehicle is in low gear. Shift out of
low gear to return to electric operation.
• Normal Operation: The engine is on to
optimize vehicle operation. The vehicle
returns to electric operation when
possible.
• Low Use: The engine is on to maintain
engine oil quality. The vehicle returns
to electric operation when low engine
use mode is complete. See Plug-In
Hybrid Vehicle Operation (page 178). •
Engine Braking Active: The engine is on
to provide increased powertrain
braking. This can occur when you turn
on the grade assist feature, when
speed control is on or when driving with
your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Turning off grade assist or speed
control may allow the vehicle to return
to electric operation.
• Battery Temperature: The engine is on
due to high or low high-voltage battery
temperature. This is a normal operating
condition. The vehicle returns to
electric operation when possible.
• Drive Mode: The engine is on due to the
drive mode selection. Select an
appropriate drive mode for electric only
operation.
Charge Settings The Charge Settings information
for your plug-in hybrid vehicle is
available through the Home
screen or under Vehicle Settings. To
Improve your charging experience, your
vehicle has the following convenience
features.
Charge Times
Once you set up Charge Times for a
specific charging location, your vehicle
prioritizes charging based on your preferred
time settings. You can set two preferred
charging time windows for weekdays and
two for weekends. This feature allows you

plans that offer lower pricing during certain
times of day. Contact your utility company
to see what plans are available.
Note: You can also set up and use these
features using the FordPass app.

Departure Times
Setting Departure Times allows you to
control charging schedules and have the
vehicle cabin heated or cooled while
plugged in, so your vehicle is ready to drive

your vehicle can use your charge time
settings to minimize your electricity costs
but still prioritize finishing charging before
your scheduled departure. A calendar view
allows you to program two departure times
per day for each day of the week.
Note:
You can also set up and use these
features using the FordPass app.
