BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 miles (480
kilometers). During this time, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics.
Avoid driving too fast during the first
1000 miles (1600 kilometers). Vary
your speed frequently and change up
through the gears early. Do not labor
the engine.
Do not tow during the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers).
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Fuel economy is affected by several
things such as how you drive, the
conditions you drive under and how
you maintain your vehicle.
There are some things to keep in mind
that may improve your fuel economy:
•
Accelerate and slow down in a
smooth, moderate fashion.
• Drive at steady speeds.
• Anticipate stops; slowing down
may eliminate the need to stop.
• Combine errands and minimize
stop-and-go driving.
•When running errands, go to
the furthest destination first
and then work your way back
home.
• Close the windows for high-speed
driving. •
Drive at reasonable speeds.
(Traveling at 65 mph/105 kph uses
about 15% less fuel than traveling
at 75 mph/121 kph).
• Keep the tires properly inflated and
use only the recommended size.
• Use the recommended engine oil.
• Perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.
There are also some things you may
want to avoid doing because they
reduce your fuel economy:
• Avoid sudden or hard
accelerations.
• Avoid revving the engine before
turning off the car.
• Avoid long idle periods.
• Do not warm up your vehicle on
cold mornings.
• Reduce the use of air conditioning
and heat.
• Avoid using speed control in hilly
terrain.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving.
• Avoid carrying unnecessary weight
(approximately 1 mpg [0.4
kilometers/liter] is lost for every
400 lbs [180 kilograms] of weight
carried).
• Avoid adding particular
accessories to your vehicle (e.g.
bug deflectors, rollbars/light bars,
running boards, ski racks).
• Avoid driving with the wheels out
of alignment.

Driving Hints

The BBB AUTO LINE program consists
of two parts – mediation and
arbitration. During mediation, a
representative of the BBB will contact
both you and Ford Motor Company to
explore options for settlement of the
claim. If an agreement is not reached
during mediation or you do not want
to participate in mediation, and if your
claim is eligible, you may participate
in the arbitration process. An
arbitration hearing will be scheduled
so that you can present your case in
an informal setting before an impartial
person. The arbitrator will consider
the testimony provided and make a
decision after the hearing.
Disputes submitted to the BBB AUTO
LINE program are usually decided
within forty days after you file your
claim with the BBB. You are not bound
by the decision, and may reject the
decision and proceed to court where
all findings of the BBB Auto Line
dispute, and decision, are admissible
in the court action. Should you choose
to accept the BBB AUTO LINE
decision, Ford is then bound by the
decision, and must comply with the
decision within 30 days of receipt of
your acceptance letter.
BBB AUTO LINE Application: Using
the information provided below,
please call or write to request a
program application. You will be
asked for your name and address,
general information about your new
vehicle, information about your
warranty concerns, and any steps you

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK -
2.0L ECOBOOST™/3.7L
Checking the Engine Coolant
When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of the engine
coolant at the intervals listed in the
scheduled maintenance information.
See Scheduled Maintenance (page
440
).
Note: Make sure that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on
the coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot.
The level may extend beyond the MAX
mark
Note: If the level is at the MIN mark,
below the MIN mark, or empty, add
coolant immediately. See
Adding
Engine Coolant in this chapter.
The coolant concentration should be
maintained within 48% to 50%,
which equates to a freeze point
between -30 F degrees (-34 C) and
-34 F (-37 C).

Maintenance

Note:
Automatic transmission fluid
expands when warmed. To obtain an
accurate fluid check, drive the vehicle
until it is warmed up (approximately
20 miles [30 kilometers]). If your
vehicle has been operated for an
extended period at high speeds, in city
traffic during hot weather or pulling a
trailer, the vehicle should be turned off
until normal operating temperatures
are reached to allow the fluid to cool
before checking. Depending on vehicle
use, cooling times could take up to 30
minutes or longer.
Refer to your scheduled maintenance
information for scheduled intervals
for fluid checks and changes. Your
transmission does not consume fluid.
However, the fluid level should be
checked if the transmission is not
working properly. For example, if the
transmission slips or shifts slowly or
if you notice some sign of fluid
leakage.
1. Drive the vehicle 20 miles (30 kilometers) or until it reaches
normal operating temperature
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
3. With the parking brake engaged and your foot on the brake pedal,
start the engine and move the
gearshift lever through all of the
gear ranges. Allow a minimum of
10 seconds for each gear to
engage.
4. Put the gearshift lever in P (Park)
and leave the engine running. Note:
You will need to move the air
filter assembly to access the
transmission dipstick.
5. Remove the dipstick, wiping it clean with a clean, dry lint free rag.
If necessary, refer to Under hood
overview in this chapter for the
location of the dipstick.
6. Install the dipstick making sure it
is fully seated in the filler tube by
turning it to the locked position.
7. Remove the dipstick and inspect the fluid level. The fluid should be
in the designated areas for normal
operating temperature.
Moving the Air Filter Assembly
(Accessing the Dipstick) WARNING
Do not run engine with the air
filter disconnected.

4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a flat zone of high
intensity light located at the top of
the right hand portion of the beam
pattern. If the top edge of the high
intensity light zone is not at the
horizontal reference line, the
headlamp will need to be adjusted. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp. Using a Phillips
#2 screwdriver, turn the adjuster
either clockwise or
counterclockwise in order to adjust
the vertical aim of the headlamp.
The horizontal edge of the brighter
light should touch the horizontal
reference line.
6. Close the hood and turn off the
lamps.
Horizontal Aim Adjustment
Horizontal aim is not required for this
vehicle and is not adjustable.
REMOVING A HEADLAMP
See an authorized dealer. CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to
accommodate normal changes in
pressure. Condensation can be a
natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp
assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can
occur when the temperature is cold.
When normal condensation occurs, a
thin film of mist can form on the
interior of the lens. The thin mist
eventually clears and exits through
the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48
hours under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation
are:
•
Presence of thin mist (no streaks,
drip marks or droplets).
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of
the lens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture
(usually caused by a lamp water leak)
are:
• Water puddle inside the lamp.
• Large water droplets, drip marks
or streaks present on the interior
of the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for
service if any of the above conditions
of unacceptable moisture are present.
Replacing Bulbs
For replacing bulbs, see your
authorized dealer.

Tire Change Procedure WARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is
off the ground, the transmission
alone will not prevent the vehicle from
moving or slipping off the jack, even if
the transmission selector lever is in
position P. To help prevent the vehicle from
moving when you change a tire,
be sure to place the transmission
selector lever in position
P, set the
parking brake and block (in both
directions) the wheel that is
diagonally opposite (other side and
end of the vehicle) to the tire being
changed. Never get underneath a vehicle
that is supported only by a jack.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously
injured.
