System Lights and Messages
When the system detects a vehicle, an alert
indicator illuminates in the exterior mirror on
the side the approaching vehicle is coming
from. If you turn the direction indicator on for
that side of your vehicle, the alert indicator
flashes.
Note:
The system may not alert you if a
vehicle quickly passes through the detection
zone. Blocked Sensors
The sensors are behind the rear bumper on
both sides of your vehicle.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects.
Note: Blocked sensors could affect system
performance.
If the sensors become blocked, a message
could appear in the information display. See
Information Messages (page 134). The alert
indicators remain illuminated but the system
does not alert you. System Errors
If the system detects a fault, a warning lamp
illuminates and a message displays. See
Information Messages (page 134).
Switching the System On and Off
To switch the system on or off, adjust the
setting. Depending on your vehicle options,
the setting could be in the following:
• Information display.
See General
Information (page 130).
• Touchscreen.
See Settings (page 498).
When you switch the system off, a warning
lamp illuminates and the alert indicators flash
twice.
Note: The system remembers the last setting
when you start your vehicle.
Note: The system may not correctly operate
when towing a trailer. For vehicles with an
approved trailer tow module and tow bar,
the system turns off when you attach a
trailer. For vehicles with an aftermarket
trailer tow module or tow bar, we
recommend that you switch the system off
when you attach a trailer.

Blind Spot Information System with
Trailer Tow (If Equipped)
The design of the system is to aid you in
detecting vehicles that could have entered
the detection area zone (A). The detection
area is on both sides of your vehicle and
trailer, extending rearward from the exterior
mirrors to the end of your trailer. When you
attach and have setup a trailer, the blind spot
information system with trailer tow becomes
active when driving forward above
6 mph
(10 km/h). You can switch the system off in the
information display. See General Information
(page
130). If you switch the blind spot
information system off, blind spot information
system with trailer tow turns off.
Setting up a Trailer
You can setup a trailer through the
information display. See General Information
(page
130). Trailer length.
A
Trailer width.
B
Trailer hitch ball.
C Note:
Measure the width of the trailer at the
front of the trailer, not the widest point. The
maximum width that the system can support
is
8.2 ft (2.5 m)(B).
Note: The trailer length is the distance
between the trailer hitch ball and the rear of
the trailer. The maximum length that the
system can support is
33 ft (10 m)(A).
When setting up a trailer, a sequence of
screens appear asking for trailer information:
• Select trailer screen: None, Trailer A,
Trailer B or Trailer C.
Note: You can select only one trailer on
small information displays.
Select one of the trailers and press OK. The
menu goes to the next screen.
• Width less than
8.2 ft (2.5 m) and length
less than 33 ft (10 m)?
Note: You do not need to enter an exact
trailer width measurement. You only need
to confirm that the width of the trailer is 8.2 ft
(2.5 m)
or less.
If no, the system turns off.
If yes, the menu goes to the next screen.

•
Box trailers that have a width greater than
8.2 ft (2.5 m) could cause early alerts
when you pass a vehicle.
• Clam shell or V-Nose box trailers with a
width greater than
8.2 ft (2.5 m) could
cause delayed alerts when a vehicle
traveling the same speed as your vehicle
merges lanes.
System Errors
If the system detects a fault, a warning lamp
illuminates and a message displays.
See
Information Messages (page 134).
Switching the System On and Off
You can switch the blind spot information
system with trailer tow off by not selecting a
trailer the information display.

Information (page 130). In this case, the
system turns off as long as a trailer is
attached to your vehicle. As soon as you
disconnect the trailer, the blind spot
information system becomes active. When you switch the system off, a warning
lamp illuminates and the alert indicators flash
twice.
Note:
The system remembers the last trailer
setting when you start your vehicle.
You cannot switch off the blind spot
information system with trailer tow when
using MyKey, but you can still change the
trailer settings.

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT WARNING:
Do not use the cross
traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The cross
traffic alert system is not a replacement for
careful driving. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.
The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
Using Cross Traffic Alert
The system detects vehicles that approach
at a speed between
4 mph (6 km/h) and
37 mph (60 km/h). Coverage decreases when
the sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed. Slowly reversing helps increase
the coverage area and effectiveness.
The system turns on when you start the
engine and you shift into reverse (R). The
system turns off when you shift out of reverse
(R).

SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION (IF
EQUIPPED)
Principle of Operation WARNING:
You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING: You must remain in your
vehicle when the system turns on. At all
times, you are responsible for controlling
your vehicle, supervising the system and
intervening, if required. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. The system detects recognizable traffic
signs, for example:
•
Speed limit signs.
• No overtaking signs.
• Speed limit cancellation signs.
• No overtaking cancellation signs.
It continuously monitors road signs to inform
you of the current maximum speed limit and
overtaking regulations. The sensor is behind
the interior rear view mirror.
Note: In cold and severe weather conditions
the system may not function. Rain, snow,
spray and large contrasts in lighting can all
prevent the sensor from functioning correctly.
Note: Do not carry out windshield repairs in
the immediate area surrounding the sensor.
Note: If your vehicle has a suspension kit
not approved by us, the system may not
correctly function.
Note: Always use original parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may
reduce system performance.
Note: The system may not detect all traffic
signs and may incorrectly read signs. Note:
Keep the windshield free from
obstructions, for example, bird droppings,
insects and snow or ice.
Note: If the system has navigation, traffic
sign data provided by the navigation system
contains information integrated to the data
carrier release.
Using Traffic Sign Recognition
Setting the System Speed Warning
The system has a number of speed warning
levels that you can set using the information
display. See General Information (page
130).
System Display
The system can display two traffic signs in
parallel.
You can view the status at any time using

•
Do not allow wax to come in contact with
any non-body (low-gloss black) colored
trim. The wax will discolor or stain the
parts over time.
•Roof racks.
• Bumpers.
• Grained door handles.
• Side moldings.
• Mirror housings.
• Windshield cowl area.
• Do not apply wax to glass areas.
• After waxing, your car's paint should feel
smooth, and be free of streaks and
smudges.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are
clean because grease and dirt buildup keep
the engine warmer than normal. When washing:
•
Take care when using a power washer
to clean the engine. The high-pressure
fluid could penetrate the sealed parts
and cause damage.
• Do not spray a hot engine with cold water
to avoid cracking the engine block or
other engine components.
• Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and
Degreaser on all parts that require
cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Engine Shampoo.
Note: If your vehicle has an engine cover
remove the cover before application of
Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and Degreaser.
Immediately rinse away any over spray.
• Never wash or rinse the engine while it
is hot or running; water in the running
engine may cause internal damage.
• Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
spark plug wire or spark plug well, or the
area in and around these locations.
• Cover the battery, power distribution box,
and air filter assembly to prevent water
damage when cleaning the engine. CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance.
To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
•
Clean the windshield with a non-abrasive
glass cleaner. When cleaning the interior
of the windshield, avoid getting any glass
cleaner on the instrument panel or door
panels. Wipe any glass cleaner off these
surfaces immediately.
• For windshields contaminated with tree
sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean the
entire windshield using steel wool (no
greater than 0000 grade) in a circular
motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
concentrate.

Note:
Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals from
the inside of the heated rear window. The
vehicle warranty does not cover damage
caused to the heated rear window grid lines.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR WARNING: Do not use cleaning
solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle's
seatbelts, as these actions may weaken
the belt webbing. WARNING:
On vehicles equipped
with seat-mounted airbags, do not use
chemical solvents or strong detergents.
Such products could contaminate the side
airbag system and affect performance of
the side airbag in a crash. For fabric, carpets, cloth seats and seats
equipped with side airbags:
•
Remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner.
• Remove light stains and soil with
Motorcraft Professional Strength Carpet
& Upholstery Cleaner.
• If grease or tar is present on the material,
spot-clean the area first with Motorcraft
Spot and Stain Remover. In Canada, use
Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Cleaner.
• If a ring forms on the fabric after spot
cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately (but do not oversaturate) or
the ring will set.
• Do not use household cleaning products
or glass cleaners, which can stain and
discolor the fabric and affect the flame
retardant abilities of the seat materials.
Mirrors
Do not clean the housing or glass of any
mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum or ammonia-based cleaning
products. 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.
Note: Follow the same procedure as
cleaning leather seats for cleaning leather
instrument panels and leather interior trim
surfaces. See Cleaning Leather Seats
(page
383).
Clean the instrument panel and cluster lens
with a clean, damp and soft cloth, then use
a clean, dry and soft cloth to dry these areas.

from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air may turn off, or
prevent you from switching on, in all air flow
modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk
of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on
and off in various air distribution control
combinations during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency.
