Rotate the knob and shift from 2WD to 4x4 High or Low:
2H (2WD) provides power to the rear wheels only. This
is appropriate for street and highway driving, providing
optimal smoothness and fuel economy at high speeds.
4H (4WD HIGH) provides extra traction, such as
driving in snow or on icy roads, or for off-road situations.
This mode is not intended for use on dry pavement.
4L (4WD LOW) uses extra gearing to provide
maximum power to all four wheels at reduced speeds.
It is intended only for off-road applications, such as
driving in deep sand or on steep grades, or while pulling
heavy objects.
Note: Do not use 4H or 4L on dry, hard-surfaced roads.
Doing so can produce extra noise and increase tire wear.

appear in the navigation system
screen* or in the auto-dimming
interior mirror whenever the vehicle is
in reverse (R) and uses colors (green,
yellow and red) to alert you of your
proximity to objects.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace
the need to watch where the vehicle is

This feature automatically opens or closes the window. Press or lift the switch
fully and release it. The window will open or close. Press or lift the switch again
to stop the window.
Note: The window motor may disable temporarily if passengers cycle the

Normal operation will resume once the motor cools.
FUNCTION
REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM*
The system is only active when the transmission is in reverse (R), it warns the
driver of obstacles within a certain range of the rear bumper area. It sounds
a warning tone if there is an object behind the vehicle. The tone will sound
continuously when the object is less than 12 inches (30 centimeters) away.
The system is not effective when the vehicle is traveling above 3 mph
(5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is
moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety information, more details
and limitations.
FUEL-EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION*
Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing
fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a light
to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
SOS POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM™

DIESEL FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Ford recommends that you use only the diesel fuels that meet either the ASTM
D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry specifications. Outside
of North America, use fuels meeting EN590 or equivalent local market standard.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for colder temperatures. For best results at
temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel fuel that has
been seasonally adjusted for the weather.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM
The system helps reduce carbon emissions, and requires the completion of periodic
drives to clean it. The information display will prompt you to complete an operator-
commanded regeneration procedure. Failure to comply with the required cleaning
procedure maintenance can result in damage to the diesel particulate filter system
that may not be covered under your warranty. See your Diesel Supplement for
more information.
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
1918*IF EQUIPPED*IF EQUIPPED
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID LEVEL
To help reduce emission levels from the exhaust of the diesel engine, your vehicle
is equipped with a selective catalytic reduction system that relies upon diesel
exhaust fluid to operate properly. The selective catalytic reduction system
automatically injects diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust system to enable proper
selective catalytic reduction system function. Make sure that you check your
vehicle’s diesel exhaust fluid level during the oil change service interval, but certain
conditions or driving styles, such as trailer towing or fast rates of acceleration, will
require the refilling of the diesel exhaust fluid tank more often. See the scheduled
maintenance information in your Diesel Supplement for more information.
FUEL TYPE/TANK CAPACITY/FLEX FUEL*
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank size varies based on body style
and/or engine configuration. Refer to the Capacities and Specifications section
in your Owner’s Manual for more details.
Flex fuel vehicles have a yellow ring around the top of the fuel filler inlet (tube)
and can use either regular unleaded fuel or E85 ethanol fuel.
It is best not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and E85. If you do switch
fuels, it is recommended that you add as much fuel as possible—at least half a
tank. Do not add less than 5 gallons (18.9 liters) when refueling. You should drive
the vehicle immediately after refueling for at least 5 miles (8 km) to allow the
vehicle to adapt to the change in ethanol concentration. If you exclusively use
E85 fuel, it is recommended to fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline
at each scheduled oil change.
If you do not have a flex fuel vehicle, then only use “Regular” unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating of 87. Do not use E85 fuels, because your vehicle was not
designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR FEATURE
In the event that the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, apply
steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle and reduce
engine power. See your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
DIESEL ENGINE
BRAKING FEATURE*
In diesel-equipped vehicles, you can
