lamp.
Continuing to drive your vehicle may cause
reduced power or the engine to stop.
Failure to respond to a warning lamp may
cause component damage not covered by
the vehicle Warranty. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
See Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page 95).
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTANT SYSTEM - 3.2L
DIESEL
Your vehicle has a selective catalytic
reductant system to help reduce exhaust
emission levels by injecting diesel exhaust
fluid (AdBlue®) into the exhaust system.
The engine may not start if you tamper
with or disable the selective catalytic
reductant system.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue)
Guidelines
• Do not put in the vehicle fuel tank. This
can cause engine damage not covered
by the vehicle Warranty.
• Do not overfill the tank.
• Do not dilute with water or any other
liquid.
• Do not re-use an empty fluid container.
• Do not store in direct sunlight.
• Store at temperatures between
23°F
(-5°C) and 68°F (20°C).
• Do not store fluid containers in your
vehicle.
• The fluid is non-flammable, non-toxic,
colorless and water-soluble. Warning Lamps and Messages If the system detects a fault, a
warning lamp illuminates in the
instrument cluster
The warning lamp illuminates under the
following possible conditions:
• Low fluid level.
• Selective catalytic reductant system
malfunction or contamination.
Note: If the warning lamp illuminates, the
information display messages give you an
indication whether the concern is fluid
related or if there is a selective catalytic
reductant system malfunction. See
Information Messages
(page 103). If the
warning lamp illuminates when your vehicle
is moving, and the fluid is at a sufficient
level, this indicates a system malfunction.
Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue)
Level
For the system to correctly operate, you
must maintain the fluid level. The
minimum fluid refill quantity required to
restart the engine is
1.5 gal (5.7 L). See
Information Messages (page 103).
Note: If your vehicle is on a gradient, the
minimum fluid refill quantity required to
restart the engine may be greater than
1.5 gal (5.7 L)
.

To return to normal drive (D) position,
move the shift lever back from manual (M)
to drive (D).
SelectShift Automatic
™
Transmission (If Equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShift
Automatic transmission gearshift lever.
The SelectShift Automatic transmission
gives you the ability to change gears up or
down (without a clutch) as desired.
In order to prevent the engine from running
at too low an RPM, which may cause it to
stall, SelectShift still automatically makes
some downshifts if it has determined that
you have not downshifted in time.
Although SelectShift makes some
downshifts for you, it still allows you to
downshift at any time as long as the
SelectShift determines that damage will
not be caused to the engine from
over-revving.
Note: Engine damage may occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit. It must be shifted manually by
pressing the + button. •
Press the (+) button to upshift.
• Press the (-) button to downshift. The system determines when temporary
manual control is no longer in use and
returns to automatic control. The
instrument cluster displays your currently
selected gear.
Note:
The system stays in manual control
until you make another shift selection (for
example, drive [D]).

to the following guide to help achieve the
best fuel economy for your vehicle. Shift speeds

Automatic Transmission Adaptive
Learning
This feature may increase durability and
provide consistent shift feel over the life
of your vehicle. A new vehicle or
transmission may have firm shifts, soft
shifts or both. This operation is considered
normal and does not affect function or
durability of the transmission. Over time,
the adaptive learning process fully updates
transmission operation. If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mud
or Snow
Note:
Do not rock the vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature or
damage to the transmission may occur.
Note: Do not rock the vehicle for more than
a minute or damage to the transmission and
tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
you may rock it out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL AND INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER LENS
WARNING: Do not use chemical
solvents or strong detergents when
cleaning the steering wheel or instrument
panel to avoid contamination of the airbag
system.

water solution. Dry the area with a
clean, soft cloth.
4. If necessary, apply more soap and water solution or cleaning product to
a clean, soft cloth and press it onto the
soiled area. Allow this to set at room
temperature for 30 minutes.
5. Remove the soaked cloth, then with a clean, damp cloth, use a rubbing
motion for 60 seconds on the soiled
area.
6. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.

color code to your authorized dealer to
make sure you get the correct color.
Before repairing minor paint damage, use
a cleaner such as Motorcraft Bug and Tar
Remover to remove particles such as bird
droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar
spots, road salt and industrial fallout.
Always read the instructions before using
cleaning products.
