Note:
To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Manual Climate Control
Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield
during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary. The system automatically
adjusts to heat or cool the interior to your
selected temperature as quickly as possible.
For the system to function efficiently, the
instrument panel and side air vents should
be fully open. Note:
At low ambient temperatures with
AUTO selected, the air stream is directed
toward the windshield and side windows
for as long as the engine remains cold.
Note: When the system is switched off,
outside air is prevented from entering your
vehicle.
Note: When you select
AUTO mode and
the interior and exterior temperatures are
high, the system automatically selects
recirculated air to maximize cooling of the
interior. When the desired air temperature
is reached, the system automatically selects
outside air.
Note: When you select windshield
defrosting and defogging, the instrument
panel and footwell level functions
automatically switch off and air conditioning
switches on. Outside air flows into your
vehicle.

Note:
Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals
from the inside of the heated rear window.
The vehicle Warranty may not cover
damage caused to the heated rear window
grid lines.
Heated Exterior Mirrors (If Equipped)

on, the heated exterior mirrors turn on.
Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or adjust the mirror glass
when it is frozen in place.
Note: Do not clean the mirror housing or
glass with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter. It is located behind the center
console.
The particulate filtration system reduces
the concentration of airborne particles
such as dust, spores and pollen in the air
supplied to the interior of your vehicle.
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system.
The particulate filtration system gives you
and your passengers the following
benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance
(page 389). For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.
REMOTE START
(If Equipped)
When you remote start your vehicle using
a Ford Original Accessory remote start
system, the engine shuts down if you do
any of the following:
• Unlock your vehicle and open any door.
• Insert the key in the ignition.
• Press the brake pedal.
For more information, refer to the separate
Vehicle Security and Remote Start
Systems Owner ’s Manual
provided with
your vehicle or contact an authorized

objects on the seat. This may damage the
heating element which may cause the
heated seat to overheat. An overheated
seat may cause serious personal injury. WARNING:
Do not use the seat
heater if any liquid is spilled on the seat.
This may damage the heating element
which may cause the heated seat to

The heated seat will remain turned on until
either the heated seat switch or the ignition
is turned off.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Extended idling at high
engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage. WARNING: Do not park, idle or drive
your vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats
up the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire. WARNING:
Do not start the engine
in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
engine. WARNING: Exhaust leaks may result
in entry of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
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.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
engine.

The number of start attempts is limited to
approximately six. If you exceed this limit,
the system does not allow you to try again
until some time has elapsed, for example
30 minutes.
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases, this helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Before starting the engine, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened
their seatbelts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure to set the parking brake.
• Move the transmission selector lever
to position P (automatic transmission)
or neutral (manual transmission).

to zero. This will lead to premature
turbocharger bearing wear.
Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until
the engine has reached idle speed and then
switch it off.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
(If
