INSTRUMENT PANEL (CONTINUED) 
12 A.    POWER LIFTGATE CONTROL* lets you open or 
close your power liftgate from the driver seat. To use, 
press the control.
    B.   HILL START ASSIST keeps your vehicle stationary 
long enough to move your foot from the brake pedal to 
the accelerator pedal when your vehicle is on a slope. 
Press the control to switch this feature off. It turns back 
on automatically after you re-start your vehicle.
    C.   ADVANCETRAC® WITH RSC® (ROLL STABILITY 
CONTROL™) automatically activates when you start 
your engine and helps you keep control of your vehicle 
when on a slippery surface. The electronic stability 
control portion of the system helps avoid skids and 
lateral slides, while the roll stability control helps avoid a 
vehicle rollover. The traction control system helps avoid 
drive wheel spin and loss of traction. 
      TRAILER SWAY CONTROL * applies your vehicle 
brakes at individual wheels and, if necessary, reduces 
engine power. If the trailer begins to sway, the stability 
control light flashes and the message TRAILER SWAY 
REDUCE SPEED appears in the information display. 
The first thing to do is slow down your vehicle, then 
pull safely to the side of the road and check for proper 
tongue load and trailer load distribution. For more 
information, please refer to the Towing chapter in your 
Owner’s Manual.
9      RIGHT VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY*  provides 
information about Entertainment, Phone, Climate and 
Navigation*. Use the right-hand, 5-way controls located on 
your steering wheel to scroll through, highlight and make minor 
adjustments within a selected menu. For more information, 
refer to the MyFord Touch chapter in your   
Owner’s Manual.
10    STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS

See the Steering Wheel chapter in your Owner’s Manual for  
more details. 
11    PUSH BUTTON START* allows you to start your vehicle by 
pressing the ENGINE START STOP button while fully pressing 
down on the brake pedal. If you leave your vehicle idling for an 
extended period of time, it automatically shuts down. Before 
the engine shuts down, a message appears in the information 
display, allowing the driver to override the shutdown feature. 
Press the button again to switch the engine off.
Note: Your intelligent access transmitter must be inside the vehicle for 
the ignition to start. Keyless warning alert sounds the horn twice when 
you exit the vehicle with the intelligent access transmitter and the 
keyless vehicle is on.

13    INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE 
CONTROLLER* assists in smooth and effective 
trailer braking by powering the trailer’s electric or 
electric over hydraulic brakes with a proportional 
output based on the towing vehicle’s  
brake pressure. 
   Use  the  GAIN adjustment buttons to increase or 
decrease the braking feature’s power output to the 
trailer. Adjust the GAIN by:
 
A.    Pressing the GAIN + or GAIN – buttons  
to increase or decrease the setting to the 
desired starting point. A GAIN setting  
of 6.0 is a good starting point for  
heavier loads.
 
B.  Testing the adjusted GAIN setting. 
   1.    In a traffic-free environment, tow the  
trailer on a dry, level surface at a speed of 
20-25 mph (30-40 km/h) and squeeze the 
manual control lever completely.
   2.   If the trailer wheels lock up (the tires will 
squeal), reduce the GAIN setting. If the trailer 
wheels turn freely, increase the  
GAIN setting.
   3.   The proper GAIN setting will be at the point 
just below trailer wheel lock-up. If towing a 
heavier trailer, trailer wheel lockup may not 
be attainable even with the maximum GAIN 
setting of 10.
For more information, please refer to the Towing 
chapter in your Owner’s Manual.

SYNC® WITH MYFORD TOUCH®*
 page 13 page 12*if equipped
GET IN TOUCH USING YOUR FOUR-CORNER TOUCHSCREEN
Phone, Navigation*, Climate and Entertainment are the four main features of SYNC® with MyFord Touch®.  
Each feature has its own corner represented by its own color.
A REVOLUTIONARY WAY TO CONNECT WITH YOUR VEHICLE.
PAIRING YOUR PHONE WITH  
MYFORD TOUCH
Pair your phone to SYNC before using 
MyFord Touch. Make sure that your 
vehicle is in park (P) and you switch on 
both your ignition and radio.
1.    Touch Add Phone in the upper left 
corner of the touchscreen.
2.   Make sure that you switch on 
Bluetooth in your cellular phone.
3.   Select SYNC on your cellular 
phone and a six-digit PIN 
appears on your device.
4.   You may be prompted to enter a PIN 
on your device. To pair, enter the PIN 
displayed on the touchscreen.
5.   Confirm that the PIN provided by 
SYNC matches the PIN displayed on 
your cellular phone.
6.   The display indicates when the pairing 
is successful.
Use the four-corner, four-color touchscreen to explore and interact with your vehicle. The touchscreen works the same way 
traditional controls, knobs and buttons do. Press the various corners on your touchscreen to personalize the many features and 
settings of your vehicle all in one place, and press the home icon 
 at any time to return to your home screen. The system provides 
easy interaction with your cellular phone, multimedia entertainment, climate controls and navigation system*.
     PHONE
Voice-control your phone for hands-free 
calling with your phone securely tucked 
away. With SYNC, you do not need to know 
the phone number. Just say the name of 
the person you want from your contacts. 
Your phone connects you with many  
other features:
  •  Automatically connects with a 911 
operator in the event of an accident 
(you must switch this feature on prior 
to the event).
  •  Transfer calls seamlessly from SYNC  
to your phone as you get in or out of 
your vehicle.
Refer to the SYNC chapter of your Owner’s 
Manual for complete details.
 NAVIGATION*
Get started with your navigation system 
by pressing the upper-right green corner. 
The available, voice-activated navigation 
system includes: 
  •  SiriusXM Traffic™ 
  •  SiriusXM Travel Link™ 
  •  GPS (Global Positioning  
System) technology 
  •  3-D mapping 
  •  Turn-by-turn navigation
Some features require activation. Refer to 
the MyFord Touch chapter of your Owner’s 
Manual for complete details.
SET A DESTINATION
Set a destination on your touchscreen by 
using a street address, a city center, a place 
on the map or a point of interest (POI). The 
easiest way, however, is by voice. 1.   
Press the VOICE button. When 
prompted, say “Destination   
street address”.
2.   The system asks you to say the full 
address and then displays an example 
on-screen. 
3.   You can then speak the address 
naturally, such as: “One two three Main 
Street, Anytown”.
You can also use the touchscreen to enter 
a destination and narrow your choices by 
city or street as you type. You can choose 
from up to three different types of routes: 
  •  Fastest:  Uses the fastest moving  
roads possible.
  •  Shortest: Uses the shortest  
distance possible.
  •  Eco (EcoRoute): Uses the most  
fuel-efficient route.
TIPS
  •  Save your favorite locations by 
touching Save to Favorites.
  •  Change your map views from 
Direction Headed, North Up or 3-D.
Note: Make sure the navigation SD card*  
is in the media port or your navigation 
system will not work.
