Note: Including to the extent that any law pertaining to Event
Data Recorders applies to SYNCor its features, please note the
following: Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is enabled (set ON), 911
Assist may, through any paired and connected cell phone, disclose
to emergency services that the vehicle has been in a crash
involving the deployment of an airbag or, in certain vehicles, the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates
to 911 Assist may also be capable of being used to electronically
or verbally provide to 911 operators the vehicle location (such as
latitude and longitude), and/or other details about the vehicle or
crash or personal information about the occupants to assist 911
operators to provide the most appropriate emergency services. If
you do not want to disclose this information, do not activate the
911 Assist feature. See your SYNCsupplement for more
information.
Additionally, when you connect to Traffic, Directions and
Information (if equipped, U.S. only) the service uses GPS
technology and advanced vehicle sensors to collect the vehicle’s
current location, travel direction, and speed (“vehicle travel
information”) only to help provide you with the directions, traffic
reports, or business searches your request. If you do not want
Ford or its vendors to receive this information, do not activate
the service. Ford Motor Company and the vendors it uses to
provide you with this information do not store your vehicle travel
information. For more information, see Traffic, Directions and
Information, Terms and Conditions. See your SYNCsupplement
for more information.
CELL PHONE USE
The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,
drivers must not compromise their own or others’ safety when using
such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety
and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.
Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to, cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, text messaging devices and
portable two-way radios.

WARNING:Do not wait for 911 Assist™ to initiate an
emergency call if you are capable yourself. Dial emergency
services immediately to avoid delayed response time, which could
increase the risk of serious injury or death after a crash. If you do not
hear 911 Assist™ within 5 seconds after the crash, the system or
phone may be damaged or non-functional.
The cell phone or 911 Assist™ hardware may become damaged in
a crash, the vehicle may lose battery power, or the cell phone may
be thrown from the vehicle, which could prevent operation.
Additionally, every cell phone operates differently. While SYNC,
911 Assist™ works with most cell phones, some may have trouble
using this feature. Finally, not all crashes deploy an airbag or, in
certain vehicles, activate the fuel pump shut-off which are the
criteria to initiate 911 Assist™.
Airbags generally deploy in certain frontal, near frontal, side and rollover
crashes, and the deployment of any airbag is intended to act as a 911
Assist™ trigger if those events occur. For more information about airbag
deployment, see theSeating and Safety Restraintschapter of your
Owner Guide. The fuel pump shut-off, in certain vehicles, is intended to
act as a trigger for 911 Assist™ in rear-end crashes, in which airbags
generally do not deploy. To determine if your vehicle has this trigger,
check theRoadside Emergencychapter in your Owner’s Guide. If your
Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-off”, it will trigger 911
Assist™. If your Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-offSwitch”,
it will not trigger 911 Assist™.
WARNING:Always place cell phone in a secure location to
prevent it from becoming a projectile or becoming damaged in
the event of a collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or
damage the phone which could prevent 911 Assist from functioning
properly.
911 ASSIST™ PRIVACY NOTICE: Once 911 Assist™ is enabled
(set to ON), 911 Assist™ may, through any paired and connected
cell phone, disclose to emergency services that the vehicle has
been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or, in
certain vehicles, the activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain
versions or updates to 911 Assist™ may also be capable of
electronically or verbally disclosing to 911 operators the vehicle
location, and/or other details about the vehicle or crash to assist
Entertainment Systems

911 operators to provide the most appropriate emergency
services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do not
enable (set to ON) the feature.
Note:If 911 Assist™ is enabled/disabled by any user, the current setting
will apply for all paired phones. If the 911 Assist™ setting is disabled
(set to OFF), a voice message and/or display item will inform the vehicle
occupants when a previously paired phone connects to SYNCat vehicle
start up.
In the event of a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off, in certain vehicles, SYNCis
designed to assist occupants in attempting to contact emergency services
by dialing 911 through the occupant’s paired and connectedBluetooth
enabled cellular phone. In the event that a connected cellular phone is
damaged or loses connection to SYNC, SYNCwill search for and
connect to any available, previously paired cell phone and attempt to
place the call to 911. Before initiating the call, SYNCprovides a short
window of time (approximately 10 seconds) that allows the driver or
passenger to decide whether to cancel the call by pressing and
holding
or PHONE on the steering wheel controls or on the audio
system. Before initiating the 911 call for the occupants, SYNCwill say
the following or a similar message:
“SYNCwill attempt to call 911. If you wish to cancel the call, press and
hold the phone button.”
If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a pre-recorded
message will be played for the 911 operator and then the occupant(s) in
the vehicle will be able to communicate with the 911 operator.
Note:Failure to cancel the call as described above will result in SYNC
dialing 911.
Note:When you are connected to the 911 operator, be prepared to
provide your name, phone number and location immediately, because not
all 911 systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.
The following steps are required for the 911 Assist™ feature to perform
properly:
•SYNCis on and functioning properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.
•SYNC911 Assist™ feature is set to ON prior to the incident.
•ABluetoothenabled and compatible cellular phone is paired and
connected to SYNC.
•A connectedBluetoothenabled cellular phone that has the ability to
make and maintain an outgoing call at the time of the incident.

Pure ethanol is the alcohol which is the intoxicating agent in liquor, beer
and wine. It is distilled from the fermentation of plants such as field corn
and sugar cane. When ethanol is produced for use in motor fuels, a small
amount of gasoline is added to make it unfit for beverage use. The
resulting ethanol blend is called denatured fuel ethanol meaning that it is
denatured with 2% to 5% gasoline and is suitable for automotive use.
During the summer season, fuel ethanol may contain a maximum of 85%
denatured ethanol (Ed85) and 15% unleaded gasoline. The fuel ethanol
has a higher octane rating than unleaded regular or premium gasoline
and this allows the design of engines with greater efficiency and power.
Winter blends may contain up to 75% denatured ethanol (Ed75) and up
to 25% unleaded gasoline to enhance cold engine starts. Severely cold
weather may require additional measures for reliable starting.
Ethanol is more chemically active than gasoline. It corrodes some metals
and causes some plastic and rubber components to swell, break down or
become brittle and crack, especially when mixed with gasoline. Special
materials and procedures have been developed for flexible fuel vehicles
and the dispensers used by ethanol fuel providers.
WARNING:Flexible fuel components and standard unleaded
gasoline fuel components are not interchangeable. If your vehicle
is not serviced in accordance with flexible fuel vehicles procedures,
damage may occur and your warranty may be invalidated.
WARNING:When refueling always shut the engine off and
never allow sparks or open flames near the filler neck. Never
smoke while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain
conditions. Care should be taken to avoid inhaling excess fumes.
WARNING:The flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzle can
produce static electricity, which can cause a fire if fuel is
pumped into an ungrounded fuel container.

Refueling
WARNING:Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause
severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:
•Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island;
•Turn off your engine when you are refueling;
•Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle;
•Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel;
•Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended
when refueling your vehicle — this is against the law in some places;
•Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump
fuel.
•Do not use personal electronic devices while refueling.
Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when
filling an ungrounded fuel container:
•Place approved fuel container on the ground.
•DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the
cargo area).
•Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while
filling.
•DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill
position.
Easy Fuel“no cap” fuel system
Your fuel tank is equipped with an Easy Fuel“no cap” fuel filler system.
This allows you to simply open the fuel filler door and insert the fuel
filler nozzle into the fuel system. The Easy Fuelsystem is self-sealing
and protected against dust, dirt, water and snow/ice.
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Open the fuel filler door. (On some vehicles, open the fuel filler door
by pressing the center of the door about one inch from the door’s rear
edge.)
3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the fuel system, and leave
the nozzle fully inserted until you are done pumping. Pump fuel as
normal.
