12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use of
the lighter can cause damage not
covered by your warranty, and can
result in fire or serious injury. Note:
If used when the engine is not
running, the battery will discharge.
There may be insufficient power to
restart your engine.
Note: Do not insert objects other than
an accessory plug into the power point.
This will damage the outlet and blow
the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of
accessory or accessory bracket from
the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over
the vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180
watts or a fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.
Note: Improper use of the power point
can cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point
caps closed when not in use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of
the power point. To prevent the
battery from being discharged: •
Do not use the power point longer
than necessary when the engine is
not running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when the vehicle is
parked for extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be found:
• in the front of the center console
• inside the center console storage
bin
• on the rear of the center console.
110 Volt AC Power Point (If
Equipped) WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power point
whenever the device is not in use. Do
not use any extension cord with the
110 volt AC power point, since it will
defeat the safety protection design.
Doing so my cause the power point to
overload due to powering multiple
devices that can reach beyond the 150
watt load limit and could result in fire
or serious injury. Note:
Keep the engine running to use
the power point.

Roadside Emergencies

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.
• 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
The windows and wiper blades should
be cleaned regularly. If the wipers do
not wipe properly, substances on the
vehicle
’s glass or the wiper blades
may cause squeaking or chatter noise
from the blades, and streaking and
smearing of the windshield.
To clean these items, follow these
tips:
• The windows may be cleaned with
a non-abrasive cleaner such as
Motorcraft® Ultra-Clear Spray
Glass Cleaner.
• The wiper blades can be cleaned
with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or
Motorcraft® Premium Windshield
Washer Concentrate in the U.S., or
Premium Quality Windshield
Washer Fluid in Canada. Be sure
to replace wiper blades when they
appear worn or do not function
properly.
• Do not use abrasives, as they may
cause scratches
• Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint
thinner to clean any parts.

Vehicle Care

•
A connected Bluetooth-enabled
phone must have the ability to
make and maintain an outgoing
call at the time of the incident.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled
phone must have adequate
network coverage, battery power
and signal strength.
• The vehicle must have battery
power and be located in the U.S.,
Canada or in a territory in which 911
is the emergency number.
In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or
activate the fuel pump shut-off
(which would activate 911 Assist);
however, if 911 Assist is triggered,
SYNC tries to contact emergency
services. If a connected phone is
damaged or loses connection to
SYNC, SYNC searches for, and tries
to connect to, any available previously
paired phone and tries to make the
call to 911.
Before making the call:
• SYNC provides a short window of
time (about 10 seconds) to cancel
the call. Failure to cancel the call
results in SYNC attempting to dial
911.
• SYNC says the following, or a
similar message: "SYNC will
attempt to call 911, to cancel the
call, press Cancel on your screen
or press and hold the phone button
on your steering wheel." If the call is not cancelled and a
successful call is made, a
pre-recorded message is played for
the 911 operator, then the occupant(s)
in the vehicle is able to talk with the
operator. Be prepared to provide your
name, phone number and location
immediately, because not all 911
systems are capable of receiving this
information electronically.
911 Assist May Not Work If
•
Your cellular phone or 911 Assist
hardware was damaged in a crash.
• The vehicle's battery or the SYNC
system has no power.
• The phone(s) paired and
connected to the system was
thrown from the vehicle.
911 Assist Privacy Notice
Once 911 Assist is set on, it may
disclose to emergency services that
the vehicle has been in a crash
involving the deployment of an airbag
or activation of the fuel pump
shut-off. Certain versions or updates
to 911 Assist may also be capable of
electronically or verbally disclosing to
911 operators the vehicle location or
other details about the vehicle or
crash to assist 911 operators to
provide the most appropriate
emergency services. If you do not
want to disclose this information, do
not turn the feature on.
