CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE –
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does my vehicle not charge with
the mobile charger?
Ensure you properly connect the
connector and control box. Unplug the
charge coupler from the vehicle and
unplug the connector from the wall
outlet. Then check the connector to
be sure that the connector is
connected properly into the mobile
charger control box. If the mobile
charger is warm or in a hot
environment, try charging in a cooler
area. Try a different outlet or a
different connector if you have one
available. If the problem persists,
contact an authorized EV certified
dealer.
Why does my vehicle have a hum or fan
noise when charging? A hum or a fan noise could be present
when charging the high voltage
battery. This is a normal operation as
your vehicle is keeping the battery cool
while charging.

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
result in the loss of control of your
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
as soon as it is safe to do so:

Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
•
It may be necessary to increase the
coolant concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60%
provides improved freeze point
protection.
• Coolant concentrations above 60%
decrease the overheat protection
characteristics of the coolant and may
cause damage to the electric motor.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
• You can decrease the coolant
concentration to 40%.
• A coolant concentration of 40%
provides improved overheat protection.
• Coolant concentrations below 40%
decrease the overheat and corrosion
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause damage to the
electric motor.
Coolant Change
Change the coolant at specific mileage
intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information. Add prediluted
coolant approved to the correct
specification. See Cooling System
Capacity and Specification (page 344).
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID CHECK
If required, have an authorized dealer check
and change the transmission fluid at the
correct service interval. See
Scheduled
Maintenance (page 390).
The automatic transmission does not have
a transmission fluid dipstick. Refer to your scheduled maintenance
information for scheduled intervals for fluid
checks and changes. Your transmission
does not consume fluid. However, if you
notice a sign of leaking fluid, contact 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.
12V BATTERY
CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY
If the 12 volt battery needs servicing, see
your authorized dealer.
CHARGING THE 12V BATTERY
Your vehicle has a high voltage to low
voltage energy transfer feature that keeps
the 12 volt battery charged by the high
voltage battery. If the 12 volt battery level
is low, the high voltage battery transfers
energy to the 12 volt battery when the
vehicle is off.

TROUBLESHOOTING
12V BATTERY – WARNING LAMPS
