How Does Eco Mode Work
The system is designed to monitor certain
driving characteristics to help you drive
more efficiently. See Economical Driving
(page 246).
Note: The efficiency levels do not result in
a defined fuel consumption figure.
Note: The system only indicates the
efficiency level for the current trip. The
system resets each time you switch the
ignition on.
Instantaneous Efficiency Level
The display ring increases as the
instantaneous efficiency level increases
and illuminates when it reaches maximum
efficiency. The level continuously updates
to indicate the efficiency level for the
current trip.

STEERING
Electric Power Steering WARNING:
The electric power
steering system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system. If
a fault is detected, a message displays
in the information display. Stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Switch the ignition off. After at least 10
seconds, switch the ignition on and
watch the information display for a
steering system warning message. If a
steering system warning message
returns, have the system checked as
soon as possible. WARNING:
If the system detects
an error, you may not feel a difference in
the steering, however a serious condition
may exist. Have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. Failure to do so may
result in loss of steering control.
Your vehicle has an electric power steering
system, there is no fluid reservoir, no
maintenance is required.
If your vehicle loses electrical power while
you are driving, electric power steering
assistance is lost. The steering system still
operates and you can steer your vehicle
manually. Manually steering your vehicle
requires more effort.
Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort required for you to steer your
vehicle, this increased effort prevents
overheating and permanent damage to
the steering system. You do not lose the
ability to steer your vehicle manually.
Typical steering and driving maneuvers
allow the system to cool and return to
normal operation.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
• Correct tire pressures.
• Uneven tire wear.
• Loose or worn suspension
components.
• Loose or worn steering components.
• Improper vehicle alignment.
Note: A high crown in the road or high
crosswinds may also make the steering
seem to wander or pull.

Adaptive Learning (If Equipped)
The electronic power steering system
adaptive learning helps correct road
irregularities and improves overall handling
and steering feel. It communicates with
the brake system to help operate advanced stability control and accident
avoidance systems. Additionally, whenever
the battery is disconnected or a new
battery installed, you must drive your
vehicle a short distance before the system
relearns the strategy and reactivates all
systems.
Steering Information Messages Description
Message

operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead
to a crash or personal injury. WARNING: The system may fail or
operate with reduced function during
cold and severe weather conditions.
Snow, ice, rain, spray and fog can
adversely affect the system. Keep the
front camera and radar free of snow and
ice. Failure to take care may result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if your vehicle has a
non-Ford windshield. Do not carry out
windshield repairs in the area around the
sensor. WARNING:

vehicle camera has limited detection
capability, this may reduce system
performance. These situations include
but are not limited to direct or low
sunlight, vehicles at night without tail
lights, unconventional vehicle types,
pedestrians with complex backgrounds,
221

of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
WARNING: The Pre-Collision Assist
system with brake support cannot help
prevent all collisions. Do not rely on this
system to replace your judgment and the
need to maintain correct distance and
speed.
The pre-collision assist system is active
when your vehicle reaches a speed greater
than approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
Pedestrian detection is active at speeds
up to
50 mph (80 km/h). Note:
The system is not designed to detect
animals.
Note: The system is not designed to detect
vehicles or cyclists that are traveling in a
different direction. If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
another stationary vehicle, a vehicle or
cyclist traveling in the same direction as
yours, or a pedestrian within your driving
path, the system is designed to provide
three levels of functionality.
Description
Level of Functionality

the system could apply additional braking up to maximum
braking force, even if you lightly press the brake pedal.
Brake support
The system is designed to apply the brakes if it detects a
crash is imminent. This may help reduce impact or avoid the
crash.
Active braking - vehicles
without adaptive cruise
control
