HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid
weather, select defrost.
•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, avoid driving with the
system switched off unless you can open a window to help circulate
fresh air.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the air conditioning cool down, drive with the windows
open for approximately 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until
the vehicle has “aired out.”
•The air conditioning system cools both the interior of the vehicle and
the high voltage battery. In hot outside temperatures, the interior
temperature may temporarily increase if the high voltage battery
requires cooling. Keep the vehicle plugged in (when possible) to
allow automatic battery cooling in high temperature conditions.
•An electrical heater warms the interior. Set the fan at a lower speed to
get a warmer outlet temperature on cold days.
•You may feel a small amount of air from the floor vent regardless of
the air distribution setting.
Maximum Cooling Performance
PressMAX A/C.The system defaults to single zone operation and the
coldest temperature setting.LOappears in the display. Air conditioning
and recirculated air are on and fan speed increases to the highest speed.

•Venting/off-gassing high-voltage battery vapors are potentially toxic
and flammable.
•Physical damage to the vehicle or high-voltage battery may result in
immediate or delayed release of toxic and/or flammable gases and fire.
Vehicle information and general safety practices:
•Know the make and model of your vehicle.
•Review the Owner’s Manual and become familiar with your vehicle’s
safety information and recommended safety practices.
•Do not attempt to repair damaged electric and hybrid-electric vehicles
yourself. Contact an authorized Ford Dealer or vehicle manufacturer
representative for service.
Crashes
A crash or impact significant enough to require an emergency response
for conventional vehicles would also require the same response for an
electric or hybrid-electric vehicle.
If possible
•Move your car to a safe, nearby location and remain on the scene.
•Roll down windows before shutting vehicle off.
•Place vehicle in Park, set parking brake, turn off the vehicle, activate
hazard lights, and move key(s) at least 16 feet (5 meters) away from
the vehicle.
Always
•Call 911 if assistance is needed and advise that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
•Do not touch exposed electrical components or the engine
compartment, as a shock hazard may exist.
•Avoid contact with leaking fluids and gases, and remain out of the way
of oncoming traffic until emergency responders arrive.
•When emergency responders arrive, tell them that the vehicle involved
is an electric vehicle or hybrid-electric vehicle.

MP3 Track and Folder Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and playing MP3 individual tracks
and folder structures work as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 track
mode (system default) and MP3 folder mode.
•MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.Note:The maximum
number of playable MP3 files may be less depending on the structure
of the CD and exact model of radio present.
•MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level
of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (noted
by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files, from
F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
•Creating discs with only one level of folders helps with navigation
through the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is important to understand
how the system reads the structures you create. While various files may
be present, (files with extensions other than mp3), only files with the
.mp3 extension are played; other files are ignored by the system. This
enables you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays and plays the structure as if it were
only one level deep (all .mp3 files play, regardless of being in a specific
folder). In folder mode, the system only plays the .mp3 files in the
current folder.

ACCESSING AND ADJUSTING MODES THROUGH YOUR RIGHT
VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY
The display (A) is located on the right side of your instrument cluster.
You can use your steering wheel controls to view and make minor
adjustments to active modes without taking your hands off the wheel.
For example:
•In Entertainment mode, you can view what is now playing, change
the audio source, select memory presets and make some adjustments.
•In Phone mode, you can accept or reject an incoming call.
•In Navigation mode, you can view the current route or activate a
route.
•
In Surplus mode, either butterflies or a gauge represents surplus
(or status). The number of butterflies matches the current surplus or
status distance up to a maximum of sixteen butterflies. If you entered
your next charge destination in the navigation system and you see
butterflies on your screen, then you should be able to make your
destination (you have a Surplus). If you see butterflies but did not
enter your next charge destination, then you should be able to achieve
the range estimate shown at the start of your drive (you have a positive
Status). See theInstrument Clusterchapter for more information.
When you enter or turn off the vehicle, you have the opportunity to view
charging status, charge start and end times as well as the charging mode.
You can also switch your charging mode between Value Charge and
Charge Now. SeeConvenience charging with MyFord mobilein the
High Voltage Batterychapter.

chosen level of interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions (confirmation prompts) when it is
not sure of your request or when there are multiple possible responses
to your request.
