Ford Motor Company produces a towing manual for all authorized tow
truck operators. Have your tow truck operator refer to this manual for
proper hook-up and towing procedures for your vehicle.
It is acceptable to have your vehicle towed from the front if using proper
wheel lift equipment to raise the front wheels off the ground. When
towing in this manner, the rear wheels can remain on the ground.
The front wheels must be on a tow dolly when towing your vehicle from
the rear using wheel lift equipment. This prevents damage to the
transmission.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS
Emergency Towing
If your vehicle becomes inoperable (without access to wheel dollies,
car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all
wheels on the ground, regardless of the powertrain and transmission
configuration) under the following conditions:
•Your vehicle is facing forward for towing in a forward direction.
•
Place the transmission in positionN.SeeAutomatic transmissionin
theTransmissionchapter if you cannot move the transmission intoN.
•Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
•Maximum distance is 50 miles (80 kilometers).
Recreational Towing
Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational towing,
such as towing your vehicle behind a motorhome. We designed these
guidelines to prevent damage to your transmission.
Do not tow your vehicle with any wheels on the ground, as vehicle or
transmission damage may occur. It is recommended to tow your vehicle
with all four (4) wheels off the ground such as when using a car-hauling
trailer. Otherwise, you cannot tow your vehicle.

BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for approximately 300 miles
(480 kilometers). During this time, your vehicle may exhibit some unique
driving characteristics. Avoid driving too fast during the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers). Vary your speed frequently and change up through
the gears early. Do not labor the engine. Do not tow during the first
1000 miles (1600 kilometers).
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Note:Driving through deep water may allow water into the transmission
and motor causing internal damage. If you drove through deep water,
check the transmission and engine; if water is found, replace the fluid.
Do not drive quickly through standing water, especially if the depth is
unknown. Traction or brake capability may be limited and if enough
water is present, the vehicle may stall.
If driving through deep or standing
water is unavoidable , proceed very
slowly. Never drive through water
that is higher than the bottom of
the wheel rims.
Once through the water, always try the brakes. Wet brakes do not stop
the vehicle as effectively as dry brakes. Drying can be improved by
moving your vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake
pedal.

HIGH-VOLTAGE SHUTOFF
In the event of a crash:
•Take the same actions as you would take in a crash involving a
gasoline-powered vehicle — exit the vehicle safely or await the
assistance of an emergency responder if they are unable to get out on
their own, move a safe distance away from the vehicle, and notify the
authorities of the crash.
•If possible, inform emergency responders that the vehicle is electric
powered.
•Vehicle owners should not store a severely damaged vehicle in a
garage or near other vehicles.
The high-voltage shutoff operation shuts off power from the high voltage
battery after a collision, or if your vehicle receives a substantial physical
jolt.
To reactivate the vehicle after either event perform the following steps:
1. Press the POWER START/STOP button to power the vehicle on.
2. Press the POWER START/STOP button to power the vehicle off.
3. Press the POWER START/STOP button to power the vehicle on again.
Note:After completing this procedure the vehicle will detect if the
electrical system is safe and reactivate automatically. Once your vehicle
determines the electrical system safe you can start your vehicle as you
would normally by pressing the brake pedal in combination with the
POWER START/STOP button.
JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE (12 VOLT BATTERY ONLY)
WARNING:Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin,
eyes and clothing, if contacted.
Note:This procedure is only for the low voltage, 12 volt underhood
battery only. Do not attempt to jump start your high-voltage battery.
Do not attempt to push-start your automatic transmission vehicle.
Automatic transmissions do not have push-start capability. Attempting
to push-start a vehicle with an automatic transmission may cause
transmission damage.

Transmission
Checking single-speed transmission
The transmission does not have an underhood transmission fluid
dipstick.
Your transmission does not consume fluid. It is designed to be filled for
life. However, the fluid level should be checked if the transmission is not
working properly, or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.
Note:Transmission fluid should be checked and, if required, fluid should
be added by an authorized dealer.
Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Note:Keep brake fluid clean. Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum
products or other materials may result in brake system damage and
possible failure.
The fluid level will drop slowly as the brakes wear, and will rise when the
brake components are replaced. Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating range. There is no need to add
fluid. If the fluid levels are outside of the normal operating range, the
performance of the system could be compromised. Seek service from
your authorized dealer immediately.
POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric power steering (EPS) system.
There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill. For additional information on
the electric power steering (EPS) system, Refer toDriving Aids.
WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
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.
Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is low. In very cold weather, do
not fill the reservoir completely.

WARNING:For safety reasons, do not connect or adjust the
settings on your portable music player while your vehicle is moving.
WARNING:Store the portable music player in a secure location,
such as the center console or the glove box, when your vehicle is
in motion. Hard objects may become projectiles in a crash or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of serious injury. The audio extension
cable must be long enough to allow the portable music player to be
safely stored while your vehicle is moving.
Your A/V inputs allow you to connect an
auxiliary audio/video source (such as a
gaming systems or a personal camcorder)
by connecting RCA cords (not included)
to these input jacks. The jacks are yellow,
red and white and are located either
behind a small access door on the
instrument panel or in your center console.
You can also use the A/V inputs as an auxiliary input jack to play music
from your portable music player over your vehicle’s speakers. Plug in
your 1/8 inch (3.5 millimeter) RCA adapter into the two left A/V input
jacks (red and white).
Press the lower left corner of the touchscreen, and then selectA/V In.
To use the auxiliary input jack feature, make sure that your portable music
player is designed for use with headphones and that it is fully charged.
You also need an audio extension cable with stereo male 1/8th-inch
(3.5 millimeter) connectors at one end and a RCA jack at the other.
1. Switch off the vehicle, radio and portable music player. Set the parking
brake and put the transmission in positionP.
2. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output
of your player and the other end into the adapter in one of the two left
A/V input jacks (white or red) inside the center console.
