Using the Systems
BLIS turns on when the engine is
started and the vehicle is driven
forward above 5 mph (8 km/h); it
remains on while the transmission is
in D (Drive) and N (Neutral). If shifted
out of D (Drive) or N (Neutral), the
system enters cross traffic alert mode.
Once shifted back into D (Drive), BLIS
turns back on when the vehicle is
driven above 5 mph (8 km/h).
Note:
BLIS does not function in R
(Reverse) or P (Park) or provide any
additional warning when a turn signal
is on. Note:
Cross traffic alert detects
approaching vehicles from up to 45
feet (14 meters) away though coverage
decreases when the sensors are
blocked. Reversing slowly helps
increase the coverage area and
effectiveness. WARNING
To help avoid personal injury,
NEVER use the cross traffic alert
system as a replacement for using the
interior and exterior mirrors and
looking over your shoulder before
backing out of a parking space. Cross
traffic alert is not a replacement for
careful driving and only an assist. In this first example, the left sensor is
only partially obstructed; zone
coverage is nearly maximized.

Zone coverage also decreases when
parking at shallow angles. Here, the
left sensor is mostly obstructed; zone
coverage on that side is severely
limited.
System Lights and Messages
The BLIS and cross traffic alert
systems illuminate a yellow alert
indicator in the outside mirror on the
side of the vehicle the approaching
vehicle is coming from. Note:
The alert indicator dims when
nighttime darkness is detected.
Cross traffic alert also sounds an
audible warning and a message
appears in the information display
indicating a vehicle is coming from the
right or left. Cross traffic alert works
with the reverse sensing system which
sounds its own series of tones. See
Parking Aid (page 184).
System Sensors WARNING
Just prior to the system
recognizing a blocked condition
and alerting the driver, the number of
missed objects will increase. To help
avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS as
a replacement for using the side and
rear view mirrors and looking over your
shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS
is not a replacement for careful driving
and only an assist. 214
Driving AidsE142441 E142442

Note:
It is possible to get a blockage
warning with no blockage present; this
is rare and known as a false blockage
warning. A false blocked condition
either self-corrects or clears after a key
cycle. The system uses radar sensors which
are located behind the bumper fascia
on each side of your vehicle. Do not
allow these areas to become
obstructed by mud, snow or bumper
stickers, as this can cause degraded
system performance.
If the system detects a degraded
performance condition, a message
warning of a blocked sensor or a
message warning of low visibility will
appear in the information display and
the alert indicator illuminates in the
appropriate mirror(s). The information
display warning can be cleared but
the alert indicator remains
illuminated.
When the blockage is removed, the
system can be reset in two ways:
•
when at least two objects are
detected while driving, or
• turn the ignition from on to off,
then back on. If the blockage is still present after the
key cycle, the system senses again
that it is blocked after driving in traffic. Reasons for messages being
displayed
Clean the fascia area in front of the radar or
remove the obstruction.
The radar
surface is dirty or
obstructed
Drive normally in trafficfor a few minutes to
allow the radar to detect
passing vehicles so it can clear the blocked state.
The radar
surface is not dirty or
obstructed
No action required. Thesystem automatically
resets to an unblocked
state once the rainfall or snowfall rate decreases
or stops. Do not use BLIS or cross traffic alert in these conditions.
Heavy
rainfall/
snowfall
interferes with the radar
signals
System Limitations
The BLIS and cross traffic alert
systems do have their limitations;
situations such as severe weather
conditions or debris build-up on the
sensor area may limit vehicle
detection.

Exterior Chrome
Note:
Never use abrasive materials
such as steel wool or plastic pads as
they can scratch the chrome surface.
Note: Do not use chrome cleaner,
metal cleaner or polish on wheels and
wheel covers
• Wash the vehicle first, using cool
or lukewarm water and a neutral
pH shampoo, such as Motorcraft®
Detail Wash.
• Use Motorcraft® Custom Bright
Metal Cleaner. Apply the product
as you would a wax to clean
bumpers and other chrome parts;
allow the cleaner to dry for a few
minutes, then wipe off the haze
with a clean, dry rag.
• Do not apply cleaning product to
hot surfaces and do not leave
cleaning product on chrome
surfaces for a period of time
exceeding that which is
recommended.
• Using other non-recommended
cleaners can result in severe and
permanent cosmetic damage.
Underbody
Flush the complete underside of your
vehicle frequently. Keep body and
door drain holes free from packed dirt.
Cleaning Plastic Exterior Parts
Use only approved products to clean
plastic parts •
For routine cleaning, use
Motorcraft® Detail Wash.
• If tar or grease spots are present,
use Motorcraft® Bug and Tar
Remover.
REPAIRING MINOR PAINT
DAMAGE
Your authorized dealer has touch-up
paint to match your vehicle ’s color.
Take your color code (printed on a
sticker in the driver ’s door jamb) to
your authorized dealer to ensure you
get the correct color.
• Remove particles such as bird
droppings, tree sap, insect
deposits, tar spots, road salt and
industrial fallout before repairing
paint chips.
• Always read the instructions
before using the products.
WAXING
• Wash the vehicle first.
• Use a quality wax that does not
contain abrasives.
• Do not allow paint sealant to come
in contact with any non-body
(low-gloss black) colored trim,
such as grained door handles, roof
racks, bumpers, side moldings,
mirror housings or the windshield
cowl area. The paint sealant will
“gray ” or stain the parts over time.

Vehicle Care

Power: Touch to turn the climate control system on and off. When
the system is off, outside air is prevented from entering the vehicle.
A
Passenger settings:
Touch DUAL to switch passenger side
temperature controls on and off. Touch the + and - to adjust the
temperature. Touch the heated seat icon to control the heated seat
(if equipped). Touch the cooled seat icon to control the cooled seat
(if equipped).
B
Fan speed:
Touch + or - to increase or decrease the volume of air
circulated in your vehicle.
C
Recirculated air: Touch the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When recirculated air is selected, the button illuminates
and the air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This
may reduce the time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C)
and may also reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all airflow modes except
MAX A/C to reduce the possibility of fogging.
D
MAX A/C:
Touch to switch on. Recirculated air is distributed through
the instrument panel air vents, air conditioning is automatically adjusted
to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the full cool
position. This re-cooling of the interior is more economical and efficient.
E
A/C:
Touch to turn air conditioning on or off. To improve air
conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly
open for two to three minutes. Use A/C with recirculated air to improve
cooling performance and efficiency.
F
AUTO:
Touch to turn on fully automatic operation. Select the desired
temperature using the temperature control. The system automatically
adjusts fan speed, air distribution, A/C operation, and outside or
recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to maintain the selected
temperature.
G
Rear defroster:
Touch to turn the rear window defroster and heated
mirrors (if equipped).
