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.

ESSENTIAL FEATURES
EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
Your vehicle’s fuel system allows you to 
open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle 
and start fueling. Wait 10 seconds from the 
time the refueling nozzle is shut off until 
you remove the nozzle from the vehicle to 
allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain 
into the tank. 
The Easy Fuel system is self-sealing and 
therefore protected against dust, dirt, 
water, snow and ice. If you need to fill your 
fuel tank with a portable fuel container, 
use the fuel funnel which is attached to 
the underside of the spare tire cover or 
is included with the tire changing tools. 
Slowly insert the funnel into the Easy Fuel 
system and fill the tank with fuel from the 
container. When done, clean the funnel or 
properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be 
purchased from your authorized dealer. 
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as 
they will not work with the Easy Fuel system 
and may cause damage.
FUEL TYPE AND FUEL TANK CAPACITY 
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank 
has a capacity of either 28 gallons (106L) 
or 33.5 gallons (126.8L). 
Use only UNLEADED gasoline blended 
with a maximum of 15% ethanol and an 87 
octane rating. Do not use E85 (ethanol), 
diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any 
other fuel because it could damage or 
impair the emission control system. 
FUEL-EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION
Your vehicle has been designed to improve 
fuel economy by reducing fuel usage 
while coasting or decelerating. This may 
be perceived as a light to medium braking 
sensation when removing your foot from 
the accelerator pedal.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire 
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 
that displays a low tire pressure warning 
light when one or more of your tires are 
significantly under-inflated. If this happens, 
stop and check your tires as soon as possible. 
Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to 
the  Inflating Your Tires section in the Wheels 
and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for 
more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
The temporary spare tire is located under 
the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper. 
The temporary spare is designed for 
emergency use only and you should replace 
it as soon as possible. The jack and tools are 
in the access panel on the floor behind the 
third-row seat. Make sure that you switch 
off the deployable running boards* as well 
as the automatic load leveling suspension 
system* prior to jacking, hoisting or towing 
your vehicle. For complete details on how 
to change your tire, refer to the Wheels and 
Tires  chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
REAR WINDOW BUFFETING
You may hear a pulsing noise when one or 
both of the rear windows are open. Lower a 
front window slightly to reduce this noise.

transmitter twice within three seconds.
 •    Press the liftgate control located on the inside  
of the liftgate handle.
