PANORAMIC VISTA ROOF® AND POWER SUNSHADES
(IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Do not let children play with the panoramic Vista
Roof® and power sunshade or leave children unattended in the
vehicle. They may seriously hurt themselves.
WARNING:When closing the panoramic Vista Roof® and power
sunshade, you should verify that it is free of obstructions and
ensure that children and/or pets are not in the proximity of the
panoramic Vista Roof® and power sunshade opening.
Note:Do not attempt to move the sunshades manually or sunshade
damage or malfunction may occur. The sunshade track clips are designed
to release the sunshade crossbar in order to prevent damage to the
system. If this occurs the sunshade crossbar ends may just need to be
slid back into position to regain proper function. See your authorized
dealer for proper moonroof or sunshade operating, diagnostic or repair
instructions.
Note:If the moonroof is excessively operated, the glass and shade
motors will go into a fail-safe jog mode (manual intermittent operation)
to prevent overheating or damage to the motor. The motors will return
to normal operation after a period of idle time.
The moonroof and sunshade controls are located on the overhead
console.
The moonroof and sunshade have a one-touch open and close feature. To
stop motion during one-touch operation, press the control a second time.
Opening the Sunshade and Moonroof
Note:The moonroof will only open after sunshades are completely open.
Press and release the control to
open the sunshade. The front and
rear sunshades open simultaneously.
Press and release the control to open the moonroof. The moonroof will
stop short of the fully opened position.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
WARNING:Vehicle modifications involving braking system,
aftermarket roof racks, suspension, steering system, tire
construction or wheel and tire size may change the handling
characteristics of the vehicle and may adversely affect the performance
of the AdvanceTrac® system. In addition, installing any stereo
loudspeakers may interfere with and adversely affect the AdvanceTrac®
system. Install any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker as far as possible
from the front center console, the tunnel, and the front seats in order
to minimize the risk of interfering with the AdvanceTrac® sensors.
Reducing the effectiveness of the AdvanceTrac® system could lead to
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.
WARNING:Remember that even advanced technology cannot
defy the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a
vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive
driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your
vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the AdvanceTrac® system is an indication that at least
some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this could
reduce the operator’s ability to control the vehicle potentially resulting
in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. If
your AdvanceTrac® system activates, SLOW DOWN.
The AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ system helps you keep
control of your vehicle when on a slippery surface. The electronic
stability control portion of the system helps avoid skids and lateral slides
and roll stability control helps avoid a vehicle rollover. The traction
control system helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction. See the
Traction Controlchapter for details on traction control system
operation.

ROOF RACKS AND LOAD CARRIERS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:When loading the roof racks, we recommend you
evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a low center of
gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher centers of gravity, may handle
differently than unloaded vehicles. Take extra precautions, such as
slower speeds and increased stopping distance, when driving a heavily
loaded vehicle.
Note:The maximum recommended load, evenly distributed on the
crossbars, is 100 pounds (45 kilograms).
Note:Never place loads directly on the roof panel. The roof panel is not
designed to directly carry a load.
For correct roof rack system function, you must place loads directly on
crossbars affixed to the roof rack side rails. We recommend you use Ford
Genuine Accessory crossbars designed specifically for your vehicle.
Make sure that you securely fasten the load. Check the tightness of the
load before driving and at each fuel stop.
