Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine Coolant TemperatureGauge
Shows the temperature of the enginecoolant. At normal operating temperature,the needle will remain in the center section.If the needle enters the red section, theengine is overheating. Stop the engine,switch the ignition off and determine thecause once the engine has cooled down.
Note:Do not restart the engine until thecause of overheating has been resolved.
WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoircap while the engine is running or hot.
Fuel Gauge
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightlywhen your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge willindicate approximately how much fuel isleft in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent tothe fuel pump symbol indicates on whichside of your vehicle the fuel filler door islocated.
The needle should move toward F whenyou refuel your vehicle. If the needle pointsto E after adding fuel, this indicates yourvehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needleposition is normal:
•It may take a short time for the needleto reach F after leaving the gas station.This is normal and depends upon theslope of pavement at the gas station.
•The fuel amount dispensed into thetank is a little less or more than thegauge indicated. This is normal anddepends upon the slope of pavementat the gas station.
•If the gas station nozzle shuts offbefore the tank is full, try a differentgas pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuelgauge needle is at 1/16th.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUEL QUALITY - GASOLINE
Choosing the Right Fuel
We recommend regular unleaded gasolinewith a pump octane rating of 87. Somestations offer fuels posted as regular withan octane rating below 87, particularly inhigh altitude areas. We do not recommendfuels with an octane rating below 87.Premium unleaded gasoline will provideimproved performance and isrecommended for severe duty usage, forexample a fully loaded vehicle.
Do not use any fuel other than thoserecommended because they could lead toengine damage that may not be coveredby the vehicle Warranty.
Note:Use of any fuel other than thoserecommended can impair the emissioncontrol system and cause a loss of vehicleperformance.
Do not use:
•Diesel fuel.
•Kerosene or paraffin fuels.
•Fuel containing more than 15% ethanolor E-85 fuel.
•Fuels containing methanol.
•Fuels containing metallic-basedadditives, including manganese-basedcompounds.
•Fuels containing the octane boosteradditive, methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
•Leaded fuel (using leaded fuel isprohibited by law).
The use of fuels with metallic compoundssuch as methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (commonly knownas MMT), which is a manganese-basedfuel additive, will impair engineperformance and affect the emissioncontrol system.
Do not be concerned if the enginesometimes knocks lightly. However, if itknocks heavily under most drivingconditions while you are using fuel with therecommended octane rating, contact anauthorized dealer to prevent any enginedamage.
FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
Choosing the Right Fuel
Use only Regular Diesel with a pumpcetane rating of 48 or higher. Werecommend using Premium Diesel with acetane rating of 55 or higher for optimalperformance of your vehicle. PremiumDiesel is recommended for severe dutyusage, for example fully loaded or trailertow.

WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to drive with duecare and attention.
If your vehicles has a non-Fordapproved trailer tow module thesystem may not correctly detectobjects.
The sensors may not detect objectsin heavy rain or other conditions thatcause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objectswith surfaces that absorb ultrasonicwaves.
The system does not detect objectsthat are moving away from yourvehicle. They will only be detectedshortly after they start to move towardyour vehicle.
Take particular care when reversingwith a tow ball arm or a rear fittedaccessory. For example, a bicyclecarrier. The rear parking aid will onlyindicate the approximate distance fromthe rear bumper to an object.
If you use a high pressure spray towash your vehicle, only spray thesensors briefly from a distance notless than eight inches (20 centimeters).
Note:If your vehicle has a tow ball arm, thesystem is turned off automatically whentrailer lamps (or lighting boards) areconnected to the 13-pin socket through aFord approved trailer tow module.
Note:Keep the sensors free from dirt, iceor snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note:The system may emit false alerts ifit detects a signal using the same frequencyas the sensors or if your vehicle is fullyloaded.
Note:The outer sensors may detect theside walls of a garage. If the distancebetween the outer sensors and the side wallremains constant for three seconds, thealert will turn off. As you continue the innersensors will detect objects directly behindyour vehicle.

The sensors may not detect objectsin heavy rain or other conditions thatcause disruptive reflections.
The system scans the area adjacent toboth sides of your vehicle to locate asuitable parking space.
The system informs you when it locates asuitable parking space. When you stopyour vehicle, the system takes control ofthe steering to guide your vehicle into theparking space.
Park Out Assist automatically steers yourvehicle out of a parallel parking space(hands-free) while you control theaccelerator, gearshift and brakes. Thesystem visually and audibly instructs youto enter traffic.
The system may not correctly operate inany of the following conditions:
•a spare tire or a significantly worn tiremore than the other tires is used
•you use a tire size not recommendedby us
•you try to park on a tight curve
•if the edge of the neighboring parkedvehicle is high off the ground (forexample, a bus, tow truck or flatbedtruck)
•the weather conditions are poor (heavyrain, snow, fog, etc).
Note:Keep the sensors, located on thebumper or fascia, free from snow, ice andlarge accumulations of dirt. Covered sensorscan affect the system's accuracy. Do notclean the sensors with sharp objects.
Do not use the system if:
•You have attached a foreign object(bike rack or trailer) to the front or rearof your vehicle or close to the sensors.
•You have attached an overhangingobject (surfboard) to the roof.
•A foreign object damages or obstructsthe front or rear bumper or sidesensors.
•The correct tire size is not in use on yourvehicle (for example, a mini-spare tire).

Using the Rear View CameraSystem
The rear view camera system displayswhat is behind your vehicle when you placethe transmission in reverse (R).
Note:The reverse sensing system is noteffective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)and may not detect certain angular ormoving objects.
The system uses three types of guides tohelp you see what is behind your vehicle:
•Active guidelines: Show the intendedpath of your vehicle when reversing.
•Fixed guidelines: Show the actual pathyour vehicle is moving in while reversingin a straight line. This can be helpfulwhen backing into a parking space oraligning your vehicle with anotherobject behind you.
•Centerline: Helps align the center ofyour vehicle with an object (forexample, a trailer).
Note:If the transmission is in reverse (R)and the luggage compartment door orliftgate is open, no rear view camerafeatures will display.
Note:When towing, the camera only seeswhat you are towing. This might not provideadequate coverage as it usually provides innormal operation and some objects mightnot be seen. In some vehicles, the guidelinesmay disappear when you connect the trailertow connector.
The camera may not operate correctlyunder the following conditions:
•Nighttime or dark areas if one or bothreverse lamps are not operating.
•Mud, water or debris obstructs thecamera's view. Clean the lens with asoft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasivecleaner.
•The rear of your vehicle is hit ordamaged, causing the camera tobecome misaligned.
Camera Guidelines
Note:Active guidelines are only availablewhen the transmission is in reverse (R).
