STARTING AND STOPPING THE
ENGINE – FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
Why is the engine idle speed high when
I am starting the engine?The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting is optimized
to minimize vehicle emissions and
maximize cabin comfort and fuel
economy.
Why does the engine not crank? You can only attempt to start the
engine for a limited amount of time
before the starting system temporarily
disables. If you exceed the starting
time limit, a message may appear and
you cannot attempt to start the engine
for at least 15 minutes.
Why do I experience different driving
characteristics? If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for
approximately 5 mi (8 km) after you
reconnect it. This is because the engine
management system must realign
itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
Why can I not start the engine? If you cannot start the engine after 3
attempts, wait 10 seconds and do the
following:
Vehicles Without Push Button Start
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
Note: Make sure that the parking brake is
applied.
Note: Make sure that the transmission is in
park (P).
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there. 3. Turn the key to position
III and wait
until the engine stops cranking.
4. Release the accelerator pedal.

Note: Make sure that the parking brake is
applied.
Note: Make sure that the transmission is in
park (P).
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there.
3. Press the push button ignition switch.
Note: The engine cranks for a short period
of time and then it stops.
4. Release the accelerator pedal.

5. Press the push button ignition switch.
Why does the system not detect a
passive key?
If the system does not detect a passive
key and you are unable to start the
engine, insert the passive key into the
backup position and press the push
button ignition switch to start the
engine. See Programming the
Remote Control (page 62).

Starting and Stopping the Engine

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: When your vehicle is
stationary, keep the brake pedal fully
pressed when shifting gears. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury, death or property
damage.
WARNING: Do not apply the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit power, which may
result in difficulty maintaining speed in
traffic and could lead to serious injury.
WARNING: Apply the parking
brake, shift into park (P), switch the
vehicle off and remove the key or remote
control before you leave your vehicle.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death.
Note: You may not be able to shift out of
park (P) unless the intelligent access key is
inside your vehicle.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
POSITIONS
PARK (P)
WARNING: Move the transmission
selector lever to park (P) only when your
vehicle is stationary.
This position locks the driveline. Come to
a complete stop before shifting into and
out of park (P). The electric parking brake could apply
when you shift to park (P) without the
brake pedal fully pressed. The electric
parking brake applies when you shift to
park (P) on large slopes. The electric
parking brake releases with the drive away
release function. See Electric Parking
Brake (page 220).
Note:
A tone sounds if you attempt to exit
your vehicle without the transmission in park
(P).
Note: Your vehicle may not shift out of park
(P) if the vehicle battery has run out of
charge. See Jump Starting the Vehicle
(page 310).
Note: Your vehicle may not shift out of park
(P) if a fuse is blown. See Fuses (page 319).
Note: Your vehicle may not shift out of park
(P) unless the key or remote control is inside
your vehicle.
Note: Your vehicle shifts into park (P) if you
attempt to exit your vehicle without the
transmission in park (P). See How Does
Automatic Return to Park (P) Work (page
212).
Note: If you shift into park (P) without fully
pressing the brake, the parking brake could
apply. If you shift into park (P) on a slope,
the parking brake could apply. See
Automatically Releasing the Electric
Parking Brake (page 221).
Note: You can start your vehicle in this
position.
Note: A tone could sound when you select
park (P).REVERSE (R)
WARNING: Move the transmission
selector lever to reverse (R) only when
your vehicle is stationary and the engine
is at idle speed.

2. Connect the other end of the positive(+) jumper cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster vehicle battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster vehicle battery.
4. Make the final connection of the negative (-) jumper cable to an
exposed metal part of the disabled
vehicle's engine, as shown in the
following illustration, away from the
battery and fuel injection system, or
connect the negative (-) jumper cable
to a ground connection point if
available.

Starting the Engine
1. Start the engine of the booster vehicleand moderately rev the engine, or
gently press the accelerator to keep
the engine speed between 2000 and
3000 RPM, as shown in your
tachometer.
2. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.
3. Once you start the disabled vehicle, run both vehicle engines for an additional
three minutes before disconnecting the
jumper cables.
Removing the Jumper Cables
Remove the jumper cables in the reverse
order that they were connected. Note:
Do not switch the headlamps on
when disconnecting the cables. The peak
voltage could blow the bulbs.
POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM
WHAT IS THE POST-CRASH
ALERT SYSTEM
The system helps draw attention to your
vehicle in the event of a serious impact.
HOW DOES THE POST-CRASH
ALERT SYSTEM WORK
The system is designed to turn the hazard
flashers on and to intermittently sound the
horn in the event of a serious impact that
deploys an airbag or the seatbelt
pretensioners.
POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
Depending on applicable laws in the
country your vehicle was built for, the horn
does not sound in the event of a serious
impact.
SWITCHING THE POST-CRASH
ALERT SYSTEM OFF
Press the hazard flasher switch or the
unlock button on the remote control to
switch the system off.
Note: The alert turns off when the vehicle
battery runs out of charge.

Crash and Breakdown Information

*Tread area of the tire: Area of
the perimeter of the tire that
contacts the road when mounted
on the vehicle.
* Rim: The metal support (wheel)
for a tire or a tire and tube
assembly upon which the tire
beads are seated.
TIRE REPLACEMENT
REQUIREMENTS
Your vehicle is equipped with tires
designed to provide a safe ride
and handling capability.
WARNING: Only use
replacement tires and wheels
that are the same size, load
index, speed rating and type
(such as P-metric versus
LT-metric or all-season versus
all-terrain) as those originally
provided by Ford. The
recommended tire and wheel
size may be found on either the
Safety Compliance Certification
Label (affixed to either the door
hinge pillar, door-latch post, or
the door edge that meets the
door-latch post, next to the
driver's seating position), or the
Tire Label which is located on
the B-Pillar or edge of the
driver's door. If this information
is not found on these labels, then
you should contact your
authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Use of any tire or wheel
not recommended by Ford can
affect the safety and
performance of your vehicle,
which could result in an
increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.
WARNING: To reduce the
risk of serious injury, when
mounting replacement tires and
wheels, you should not exceed
the maximum pressure indicated
on the sidewall of the tire to set
the beads without additional
precautions listed below. If the
beads do not seat at the
maximum pressure indicated,
re-lubricate and try again.
WARNING: For a mounting
pressure more than 20 psi
(1.38 bar) greater than the
maximum pressure, a Ford
dealer or other tire service
professional should do the
mounting.
WARNING: Always inflate
steel carcass tires with a remote
air fill with the person inflating
standing at a minimum of 12 ft
(3.66 m) away from the wheel
and tire assembly.
