WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUIDAdd fluid to fill the reservoir if the
level is low. In very cold weather, do
not fill the reservoir completely.
Only use a washer fluid that meets
Ford specifications. Do not use any
special washer fluid such as
windshield water repellent type fluid
or bug wash. They may cause
squeaking, chatter noise, streaking and smearing. Refer to Maintenance
product specifications and capacities in this chapter.
State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may restrict the
use of methanol, a common windshield washer antifreeze additive.
Washer fluids containing non-methanol antifreeze agents should be used
only if they provide cold weather protection without damaging the
vehicle’s paint finish, wiper blades or washer system.
WARNING: If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below
40°F (5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze protection. Failure to
use washer fluid with antifreeze protection in cold weather could result in
impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of injury or accident.
CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
The wiper arms can be manually moved when the ignition is off. This
allows for ease of blade replacement and cleaning under the blades.
1. Turn the ignition off before
removing the wiper blade.
2. Pull the wiper blade and arm
away from the glass.
3. Squeeze the locking tabs to
release the blade from the arm and
pull the blade away from the arm to
remove it.
4. Attach the new blade to the arm and snap it into place. Lower the wiper
arm and blade back to the windshield. The wiper arms will automatically
return to their normal position when the ignition is turned on.
Replace wiper blades at least once per year for optimum performance.

Note:Electrical or electronic accessories or components added to the
vehicle by the dealer or the owner may adversely affect battery
performance and durability and may also affect the performance of other
electrical systems in the vehicle.
When a battery replacement is required, the battery should only be
replaced with a Ford recommended replacement battery that matches
the electrical requirements of the vehicle.
Note: The clock and the preset radio stations must be reset once the
battery is reconnected.
•Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized
standards for disposal. Call your
local authorized recycling center
to find out more about recycling
automotive batteries.
HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
WARNING: This battery pack should only be serviced by an
authorized electric vehicle technician. Improper handling can
result in personal injury or death.
Your vehicle consists of various high-voltage components and wiring. All
of the high-voltage power flows through specific wiring assemblies which
are labeled as such and/or are covered with a solid orange convolute or
orange striped tape. Do not come in contact with these components.
No regular maintenance, other than regular charging is required.
The high-voltage battery system is a high-voltage, lightweight lithium-ion
battery system comprised of two individual packs. One pack is located in
the rear cargo area behind the second row seats, and the other is located
underneath the vehicle. The high-voltage battery system uses an advanced,
active liquid heating and cooling system to regulate high-voltage battery
temperature and help maximize high-voltage battery life.

Charge Port and Light Ring
Note:Do not force the charge port door open or closed. Forcing the
door open or closed will damage the charge port.
The light ring located around the charge port indicates the charge status
of your battery while connected to a charge station or convenience cord.
The charge port light ring is divided into four quadrants that inform you
of the charge status.
There is a cord acknowledgement feature that will be activated when a
charge cycle is initiated. The four light quadrants will each individually
flash clockwise starting with the top right light and ending with the top
left, two full times confirming a charging coupler has been detected.
You can use your keyfob to view the vehicles charge status at any time
by pressing the unlock button. The light ring will light up the
corresponding quadrant(s) so that the current state of the vehicles
charge can be determined. If the charge is below 25 percent the light
ring will not illuminate. Don’t forget to press the lock button on your
keyfob to re-lock the vehicle.
Different sequences of the light ring will represent the status of the
charge.

Note:Do not pull the wall plug
from the wall while the vehicle is
charging. Doing so may damage the
outlet and the cord.
To disconnect the charging coupler:
1. Press the button on the charging
coupler.
2. While holding the button, remove
the charging coupler from the
vehicle’s charge port receptacle.
3. Close the charge port door by pressing the indentation on the charge
port door. Continue pressing the indentation while the door rotates
counter clockwise and closes.
Convenience Charging and MyFord Mobile
The setting up of the charging convenience features is primarily done
with the MyFord Mobile smart phone application. Visit myfordmobile.com
for more complete information and to set up your MyFord Mobile
account.
Your electric vehicle also has some convenience features to improve your
charging experience:
• Value Charge: The vehicle schedules charging at the lowest available
utility rates. Contact your utility company to see what rates are
available.
• Charge Now: Fully charge your vehicle at the quickest rate. The
vehicle starts charging immediately after you connect the charging
coupler into the vehicle.
• My GO Time: Setting My GO times through the MyFord Mobile
application allows you to set charging schedules and cabin
preconditioning settings so your vehicle is ready to drive when you
are. By setting a My GO time the vehicles charge can be completed
before your next set drive time. A calendar view allows you to
program two My GO Times per day for each of the seven days of the
week. Remember, your vehicle must be plugged in for My GO time to
work.
• Cabin Preconditioning: Get the most miles out of every charge by
preconditioning your vehicle while it’s still plugged in and charging.
Use your smart phone to set the cabin temperature and departure
time before you leave so you use energy from your home wall outlet
instead of your battery to heat or cool your vehicle.
