HomeLink® Wireless Control
System (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Make sure that the garage door
and security device are free from
obstruction when you are
programming. Do not program the
system with the vehicle in the garage. Do not use the system with any
garage door opener that does
not have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal
Safety Standards (this includes any
garage door opener manufactured
before April 1, 1982). Note:
Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
system programming.
Note: We recommend that upon the
sale or lease termination of your
vehicle, you erase the programmed
function buttons for security reasons.
See Erasing the function button codes
later in this section.
Note: You can program a maximum
of three devices. To change or replace
any of the three devices after it has
been initially programmed, you must
first erase the current settings. See
Erasing the function button codes later
in this section. The universal garage door opener
replaces the common hand-held
garage door opener with a
three-button transmitter that is
integrated into the driver
’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary
features, a garage door opener and a
platform for remote activation of
devices within the home. As well as
being programmed for garage doors,
the system transmitter can be
programmed to operate entry gate
operators, security systems, entry
door locks and home or office lighting.
Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com
or by calling the toll-free help line on
1-800-355-3515.
Programming
Note: Put a new battery in the
hand-held transmitter. This will ensure
quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency
signal.

Parking Aids

DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Note:
Driving through deep water
above the recommended levels can
cause vehicle damage.
Note: Once through the water, always
dry the brakes by moving your vehicle
slowly while applying light pressure on
the brake pedal. Wet brakes do not
stop the vehicle as quickly as dry
brakes. If driving through deep or standing
water is unavoidable, proceed very
slowly. Never drive through water that
is higher than the bottom of the wheel
rims (for cars) or the bottom of the
hubs (for trucks).
When driving through water, traction
or brake capability may be limited.
Also, water may enter your engine
’s
air intake and severely damage your
engine or your vehicle may stall. FLOOR MATS
WARNINGS
Always use floor mats that are
designed to fit the foot well of
your vehicle. Only use floor mats that
leave the pedal area unobstructed.
Only use floor mats that are firmly
secured to retention posts so that
they cannot slip out of position and
interfere with the pedals or impair safe
operation of your vehicle in other
ways. Pedals that cannot move freely
can cause loss of vehicle control
and increase the risk of serious
personal injury. Always make sure that the floor
mats are properly attached to
the retention posts in the carpet that
are supplied with your vehicle. Floor
mats must be properly secured to
both retention posts to ensure mats
do not shift out of position.
236
Driving HintsE142667 E142666

WARNINGS
Never place floor mats or any
other covering in the vehicle foot
well that cannot be properly secured
to prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals or the
ability to control the vehicle. Never place floor mats or any
other covering on top of already
installed floor mats. Floor mats
should always rest on top of vehicle
carpeting surface and not another
floor mat or other covering. Additional
floor mats or any other covering will
reduce the pedal clearance and
potentially interfere with pedal
operation. Check attachment of floor mats
on a regular basis. Always
properly reinstall and secure floor
mats that have been removed for
cleaning or replacement. Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver foot
well while the vehicle is moving.
Objects that are loose can become
trapped under the pedals causing a
loss of vehicle control. Failure to properly follow floor
mat installation or attachment
instructions can potentially cause
interference with pedal operation
causing loss of control of vehicle. To install floor mats, position the
floor mat so that the eyelet is
over the retention post and press
down to lock in. To remove the floor mat, reverse
the installation procedure.

ECOBOOST™/3.7L
WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle
damage and/or personal burn
injuries do not start your engine with
the air cleaner removed and do not
remove it while the engine is running. When changing the air filter element,
use only the air filter element listed.
See Capacities and Specifications
(page 325).
For EcoBoost equipped vehicles:
When servicing the air cleaner, it is
important that no foreign material
enter the air induction system. The
engine and turbocharger are
susceptible to damage from even
small particles.
Change the air filter element at the
proper interval. See
Scheduled
Maintenance (page 440).
Note: Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. The customer warranty may
be void for any damage to the engine
if the correct air filter element is not
used. 2.0L EcoBoost Engine

•
Only use the sealing compound
before the use by date. The use by
date is on the lower right hand
corner of the label located on the
sealant canister (bottle). Check
the use by date regularly and
replace the canister after four
years.
• Do not store the kit unsecured
inside the passenger compartment
of the vehicle as it may cause injury
during a sudden stop or collision.
Always store the kit in its original
location.
• After sealant use, the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor and
valve stem on the wheel must be
replaced by an authorized Ford
dealer.
• When inflating a tire or other
objects, use the black air hose only.
Do not use the transparent hose
which is designed for sealant
application only.
• Operating the kit could cause an
electrical disturbance in radio, CD,
and DVD player operation.
What to do when a Tire Is
Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread
area can be repaired in two stages
with the kit. •
In the first stage, the tire will be
reinflated with a sealing
compound and air. After the tire
has been reinflated, you will need
to drive the vehicle a short
distance (approximately 4 miles
[6 km]) to distribute the sealant
in the tire.
• In the second stage, you will need
to check the tire pressure and
adjust, if necessary, to the vehicle's
tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire
with Sealing Compound and Air WARNINGS
Do not stand directly over the kit
while inflating the tire. If you
notice any unusual bulges or
deformations in the tire's sidewall
during inflation, stop and call roadside
assistance. If the tire doesn't inflate to the
recommended tire pressure
within 15 minutes, stop and call
roadside assistance. Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe,
level and secure area, away from
moving traffic. Turn the hazard lights
on. Apply the parking brake and turn
the engine off. Inspect the flat tire for
visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. To
avoid any allergic reactions, use the
non-latex gloves located in the
accessory box on the underside of the
kit housing.
