Note:
Event data recorder data is recorded
by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data is recorded by the
event data recorder under normal driving
conditions and no personal data or
information (for example name, gender,
age, and crash location) is recorded.
However, parties, such as law enforcement,
could combine the event data recorder data
with the type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an event data
recorder, special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the event data
recorder is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have such special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the event
data recorder.
Active Drive Assist Driver Facing
Camera Data (If Equipped)
If active drive assist is active in certain
crash or near crash-like situations, such as
an airbag deployment or hitting a road
obstacle, the system may record driver
attentiveness, based on the direction of
eyes and duration, and photographs of the
driver seat area.
Note: No data is recorded under normal
driving conditions.
SETTINGS DATA
Your vehicle has electronic control units
that have the ability to store data based
on your personalized settings. The data is
stored locally in the vehicle or on devices
that you connect to it, for example, a USB
drive or digital music player. You can delete
some of this data and also choose whether
to share it through the services to which
you subscribe. Comfort and Convenience Data
Data recorded includes, for example:
•
Seat and steering wheel positions.
• Climate control settings.
• Radio presets.
Entertainment Data
Data recorded includes, for example:
• Music, videos or album art.
• Contacts and corresponding address
book entries.
• Navigation destinations.
CONNECTED VEHICLE DATA The modem has a SIM. The
modem was enabled when your
vehicle was built and periodically
sends messages to stay connected to the
cell phone network, receive automatic
software updates and send vehicle-related
information to us, for example diagnostic
information. These messages could
include information that identifies your
vehicle, the SIM and the electronic serial
number of the modem. Cell phone network
service providers could have access to
additional information, for example, cell
phone network tower identification. For
additional information about our privacy
policy, visit www.FordConnected.com or

The amount of energy being used when
driving is affected by:
•
Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Your vehicle's speed.
• Use of accessories, such as climate
control.
• Ambient temperature and weather
conditions.
• Driving in a city or on a highway.
• Driving on flat or hilly roads.
The available energy capacity in the high
voltage battery is affected by cold
temperatures and battery degradation.
See Preserving Your High Voltage
Battery (page 157).
When your navigation system has an active
route the distance to your destination or
next charging station is also displayed.
Note: It is normal for vehicle range
estimates to vary due to changes in average
energy usage and battery temperature. This
could cause different range estimates each
time you fully charge your battery. See
Maximizing Your Driving Range (page 282
).
Note: When you leave your vehicle
unplugged, it periodically uses energy from
the high voltage battery to recharge the
12-volt accessory battery, resulting in
reduction in vehicle driving range.
WHAT IS THE HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERY GAUGE
Displays the high voltage battery state of
charge in the form of a gauge or a
percentage. A full fill or 100% charge
represents the total amount of energy you
can get from plugging your vehicle in.
The gauge is normally blue. When a low
battery condition is reached the gauge is
amber. When the battery is depleted the
gauge is red. When the full battery gauge is displayed
and your navigation system has an active
route, a symbol is added that represents
the battery charge level needed to reach
your destination or next charging station.
Charging Status
Additional charge information displays
when you power on your vehicle without
pressing the brake pedal and your vehicle
is plugged in. Charging status includes the
charge start or charge end time as
appropriate. When DC charging, the time
at 80% displays followed by the time at
100%. You can modify your vehicle charge
settings on the information and
entertainment display. See
Setting the
Charging Schedule and Preferences
(page
174).
Charge Required to Reach Destination
When the navigation system has an active
route, the instrument cluster displays the
charge level required in order to reach your
destination and the time when that charge
level is available.
WHAT ARE THE INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER WARNING LAMPS
Warning lamps alert you to a vehicle
condition that could become serious.
Some lamps illuminate when you start
your vehicle to make sure they work. If any
lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,
refer to the respective system warning
lamp for further information.

CLIMATE CONTROL HINTS
General Hints
• Use of the climate system will reduce
your vehicles driving range. Conserve
battery charge by using climate control
features when necessary.
• Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
• You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless
of the air distribution setting.
• To reduce humidity build-up inside your
vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air
always switched on.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
• To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot
weather, drive with the windows open
until you feel cold air through the air
vents. Automatic Climate Control
•
Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold
is not necessary. Automatic mode is
best recommended to maintain set

CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE
HINTS
We recommend limiting the amount of DC
charges, and ending DC charges at 80%
state of charge as charging between 80
and 100% can incur high charging costs
due to the time to completion. Frequent
use of DC charging could result in reducing
your battery ’s efficiency and lifespan. This
is more pronounced on the standard range
battery pack versus the extended range
battery pack. In cold temperatures, you may notice that
DC charging takes longer when the
ambient temperature drops below 50°F
(10°C). Shutting off climate control or
reducing climate control temperature and
fan settings for the first 10 to 15 minutes of
DC charging will allow the battery to warm
up and improve the charging rate.
Note: When the temperature is below
freezing, fully turning off cabin heat for the
first 10 to 15 minutes of DC charging could
significantly improve the charging rate.

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
