WHAT IS ACTIVE DRIVE
ASSIST
Active drive assist keeps your vehicle
centered in the lane and offers a
hands-free driving mode in certain
situations when using adaptive cruise
control.
HOW DOES ACTIVE DRIVE
ASSIST WORK
Active drive assist uses cameras to monitor
your vehicle position within a lane and
applies steering support to keep your
vehicle centered in the lane.
Using the cameras and location
information, active drive assist allows you
to remove your hands from the steering
wheel and offers a hands-free driving
mode in certain areas.
When active, active drive assist uses a
driver facing camera and infrared lighting
to monitor your eyes and head position to
detect if you are distracted. If the system
determines you are distracted, it alerts you
to return your eyes back to the road.
Camera and lighting areas.
A Note:
When active drive assist is active, in
certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, camera data may be
recorded through the vehicle event data
recorder. See Event Data (page 22).

WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST
Pre-collision assist detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. If
your vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system
provides multiple levels of assistance to
help avoid a collision.
HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK
The system warns the driver of potential
hazards by providing three levels of
assistance.
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
potential hazards the system provides the
following levels of functionality:
1. Alert.
2. Brake Support.
3. Automatic Emergency Braking.
Alert: When active, a flashing
visual warning appears and an
audible warning tone sounds.
Brake Support
: The system is designed
to help reduce the impact speed by
preparing the brakes for rapid braking. The
system does not automatically apply the
brakes. If you press the brake pedal, the
system could apply additional braking up
to maximum braking force, even if you
lightly press the brake pedal.
Automatic Emergency Braking
:
Automatic emergency braking may
activate if the system determines that a
collision is imminent. Note:
If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you can reduce the alert sensitivity,
although the manufacturer recommends
using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would
lead to fewer and later system warnings.
Each system has various levels of
detection capabilities. See Pre-Collision
Assist Limitations
(page 258).

ELECTRIC VEHICLE
MAXIMIZING YOUR DRIVING
RANGE
Driving in Cold Weather
Keep your vehicle charged before heading
out into cold weather.
Use the heated seats and steering wheel
for comfort along with moderate cabin
temperature and fan settings to reduce
energy needed for climate control.
Preconditioning Your Vehicle
You can precondition your vehicle by using
departure and comfort settings to warm
or cool your cabin and the high voltage
battery when your vehicle is plugged in. By
using energy from your charging source
prior to your departure, battery
temperature can be managed for best
driving performance and less energy will
be needed for heating or cooling of the
cabin at the start of your drive. This helps
maximize your driving range. See Setting
the Charging Schedule and Preferences
(page 174).
Note: You can also access departure and
comfort settings using the FordPass App.
Note: Lower cabin temperature settings on
the climate control system results in better
trip range.
Parking Your Vehicle
At temperatures just above the freezing
point and lower, plug your vehicle in when
not in use to maintain high voltage battery
performance.
When possible park your vehicle under a
covered area or in a garage. This will help
to moderate temperatures which affect
performance of the high voltage battery
and require energy to heat or cool the
cabin. Driving Style
Range is reduced when driving aggressively
or at consistently high speeds. Aggressive
driving for extended periods could also
result in reducing your battery
’s efficiency
and lifespan. Use the trip application on
your touchscreen to see your driving scores.
See
Trip Data (page 124).
DRIVING THROUGH SHALLOW
WATER WARNING:
Do not attempt to
cross a deep or flowing body of water.
Failure to follow this instruction could

vehicle, personal injury or death.
Note: Driving through standing water can
cause vehicle damage.
Before driving through standing water,
check the depth. Never drive through water
that is higher than the bottom of the front
rocker area of your vehicle. When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction could
be limited. After driving through water and
