When you determine the vehicle is back far enough, bring the vehicle to
a complete stop and move the gearshift to D (Drive).
When you determine the vehicle is far enough forward, bring the vehicle
to a complete stop and move the gearshift to R (Reverse). Follow the
information display instructions. The system may offer subsequent
backward and forward maneuvers before proceeding to the finish phase.
APA finished
When active park assist has completed the automated steering, the
information display will show a corresponding message followed by a
chime.
The driver is responsible to assess and correct as necessary the final
parking position and put the vehicle in P (Park).
The system can also be deactivated at any time by the following:
•Pressing the APA control switch
•Grabbing the steering wheel
•Exceeding a vehicle speed of 18 mph (30 km/h) for 30 seconds during
active park searching
•Exceeding a vehicle speed of 6 mph (10 km/h) during automatic
steering

•Deactivating the AdvanceTracsystem or the system has activated on
a slippery or loose surface
•ABS activation or failure
•Any door (except the driver’s door) opens
•Something touching the steering wheel
If a fault is present in the system, a corresponding message will be
displayed followed by a chime. Contact an authorized dealer to have your
vehicle serviced.
The system should not be used if:
•a foreign object (i.e. bike rack, trailer, etc.) is attached to the front or
rear of the vehicle or at another location close to the sensors.
•the front bumper or side sensors are damaged (i.e. in a collision) or
obstructed by a foreign object (i.e. front bumper cover).
•a mini-spare tire is used.
Troubleshooting
Why isn’t APA searching for a parking space?
•You may have deactivated the AdvanceTracsystem.
•One of the doors (except the driver’s door) may not be securely
closed.
Why doesn’t APA offer a particular parking space?
•Something may be contacting the front bumper or side sensors. Clear
any material stuck to the sensors.
•There may not be enough room to maneuver the vehicle into the
space. Remember, there needs to be enough space on the opposite
side of the vehicle to allow the front of the vehicle to swing out as you
back into the space.
•The vehicle is not driven close enough to the parking space, less than
60 inches [1.5 m] from neighboring parked vehicles.
•The vehicle is driven too close to the side objects (e.g. less than
16 inches [41 cm] from neighboring parked vehicles).
•You may be driving in R (Reverse). APA can only look for a parking
space while moving forward.
Why doesn’t APA position the vehicle where I want in the space?
•The driver allows the vehicle to roll in the opposite direction of the
transmission (such as rolling forward when R (Reverse) gear is
selected.

•You may be driving in R (Reverse). APA can only look for a parking
space while moving forward.
•There may be an irregular curb along the parking space. APA might
not be able to align the vehicle to curbs that are damaged, very
shallow or covered with material such as debris, leaves, snow, or tarps.
•The vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be positioned
appropriately.
•’The vehicle was steered more than usual while driving by the space.
APA performs best when you drive the same distance past the entire
length of the parking space whenever parking your vehicle.
•The tires may not be installed and maintained correctly. For example,
one or more tires may not be inflated correctly, may not be of the
same size, or may not be authorized for use on this vehicle.
•The vehicle had a repair or alteration that is not authorized by the
manufacturer.
•One of the parked vehicles has a high altitude attachment (i.e. salt
sprayer, snow plow, moving truck high bed, etc.) High altitude
attachments may not be detected by the system.
•The parking space length or parked objects position have changed
after the vehicle has passed the parking space.
•The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly, such as driving
from a heated garage into the cold or after leaving a car wash. As a
result, the outside air temperature displayed in the vehicle may not be
close enough to the actual temperature. APA relies on correctly
sensing the temperature outside for precisely positioning the vehicle.
BLIND SPOT MIRRORS
Blind spot mirrors have an integrated convex spotter mirror built into
the upper outboard corner of the outside mirrors. They are designed to
assist the driver by increasing visibility along the side of the vehicle. For
more information on your side view mirrors, refer toExterior mirrorsin
theDriver Controlschapter.

BATTERY
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Motorcraftmaintenance-free
battery which normally does not
require additional water during its
life of service.
If your battery has a cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled
after the battery has been cleaned or replaced.
For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and
dry. Also, make certain the battery cables are always tightly fastened to
the battery terminals.
If you see any corrosion on the battery or terminals, remove the cables
from the terminals and clean with a wire brush. You can neutralize the
acid with a solution of baking soda and water.
It is recommended that the negative battery cable terminal be
disconnected from the battery if you plan to store your vehicle for an
extended period of time. This will minimize the discharge of your battery
during storage.

During an engine overheating condition, the instrument cluster will
display a message and a chime will sound. The engine may also have
temporarily reduced power and reduced rpm limit during an overheating
condition.
Operating the engine with high engine coolant temperature (coolant
gauge indicator is red) may cause powertrain damage. Stop the vehicle
as soon as safely possible, and let the engine cool off while idling.Note:
Driving the vehicle without repairing the engine problem increases the
chance of engine damage. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
FUEL FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel filter that is integrated with
the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or replacement is not needed.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUELS
Important safety precautions
WARNING:Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an
overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire.
WARNING:The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear
a hissing sound near the fuel filler door (Easy Fuel“no cap”
fuel system), do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, which could cause serious personal injury.
WARNING:Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death
if misused or mishandled.
WARNING:Fuel ethanol and gasoline may contain benzene,
which is a cancer-causing agent.

NORMAL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND LOG
Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ that
determines when the engine oil should be changed based on how your
vehicles is used. By using several important factors in its calculations,
the monitor helps reduce the cost of owning your vehicle and reduce
environmental waste at the same time. This means you won’t have to
remember to change the oil on a mileage-based schedule; the car lets
you know when an oil change is due by displaying ENGINE OIL
CHANGE DUE or OIL CHANGE REQUIRED in the message center. The
following table is intended to provide examples of vehicle use and its
impact on engine oil change intervals; it is provided as a guideline only.
Actual engine oil change intervals will depend on several factors and will
generally decrease with severity of use.
When to expect the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message
