This Quick Reference Guide is not intended
to replace your vehicle Owner’s Manual which
contains more detailed information concerning
the features of your vehicle, as well as important
safety warnings designed to help reduce the
risk of injury to you and your passengers. Please
read your entire Owner’s Manual carefully as
you begin learning about your new vehicle and
refer to the appropriate chapters when questions
arise. All information contained in this Quick
Reference Guide was accurate at the time of
duplication. We reserve the right to change
features, operation and/or functionality of any
vehicle specification at any time. Your Ford
dealer is the best source for the most current
information. For detailed operating and safety
information, please consult your Owner’s Manual.
WARNING: Driving while distracted can result
in loss of vehicle control, crash and injury. We
strongly recommend that you use extreme
caution when using any device that may take your
focus off the road. Your primary responsibility
is the safe operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any hand-held
device while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible. Make
sure you are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic devices
while driving.

proximity to objects.
FRONT AND REAR PARKING AID*
Turn on automatically when you move the transmission selector lever to reverse (R)
or drive (D) or sport (S) and your vehicle is moving at a speed of less than 3 mph
(5 km/h). Audible warnings sound when large objects are within the sensor coverage
areas of either bumper.
» The system emits a high-pitched tone from the front audio system speakers
when large objects are within the sensor coverage area of your vehicle’s front
bumper. Moving your vehicle closer to a large object increases the audible
warning repeat rate.
» The system emits a lower-pitched tone from the rear audio system speakers
when large objects are within the sensor coverage area of your vehicle’s rear
bumper. Moving your vehicle closer to a large object increases the audible
warning repeat rate.
» See the Parking Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for complete information
on your vehicle’s sensing systems.
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.

LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE
AND TOOLS
Your tools are behind a cover in the
sidewall at the left-rear of the cargo
area. Your spare is under the vehicle. The
spare tire is for emergency use only and
should be replaced as soon as possible.
For complete details on changing your
tire, refer to the Changing a Road Wheel
in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
» Put your vehicle into park (P) and
switch off the ignition.
» Open the fuel-filler door, insert the
nozzle and begin fueling.
» Wait 5–10 seconds between the
time the refueling nozzle shuts off
and you remove the nozzle from the
vehicle. This allows residual fuel in
the nozzle to drain into the tank.
» When using a portable fuel
container, slowly insert the fuel
funnel (located in the glove box)
and pour the fuel into the funnel.

NOTE Do not use aftermarket funnels
as they do not work with the Easy Fuel
system and may cause damage. Clean
the funnel after each use, or dispose of
it properly.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY AND
FUEL INFO
Your vehicle has a 15.8 gallon (60L) fuel
tank capacity. Use only UNLEADED fuel
with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do
not use fuel
E20 - E85 ethanol (E85), diesel
fuel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any
other fuel because it could damage or
impair the emission control system.
TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle displays a low tire pressure
warning light
in your instrument
cluster when one or more of your tires
are significantly under-inflated. If this
happens, stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, then inflate them to
the proper pressure. Refer to the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System section in
the Wheels and Tires chapter of your
Owner’s Manual for more information.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM
(BLIS) WITH CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that may have entered
into your blind spot zone. The cross traffic alert feature
warns you of vehicles approaching from the sides when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
BLIS and cross traffic alert display a yellow indicator light
in your exterior mirrors. Cross traffic alert also sounds
tones and displays messages to warn you from which
direction vehicles are approaching. Refer to the Driving
Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for more information.
REAR WINDOW BUFFETING
When one or both of your rear windows are open, you may
hear a pulsing noise. To alleviate this, lower a front window
until the noise subsides.
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
Your new Ford vehicle comes with the assurance and
support of 24-hour emergency roadside assistance.
To receive roadside assistance in the United States,
call 1-800-241-3673. In Canada, call 1-800-665-2006.
