Trailer Lamps
WARNING
Never connect any trailer lamp
wiring to the vehicle's tail lamp
wiring; this may damage the electrical
system resulting in fire. Contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible
for assistance in proper trailer tow
wiring installation. Additional
electrical equipment may be required.
Trailer lamps are required on most
towed vehicles. Make sure all running
lights, brake lights, turn signals and
hazard lights are working.
Before Towing a Trailer
Practice turning, stopping and backing
up to get the feel of your
vehicle-trailer combination before
starting on a trip. When turning, make
wider turns so the trailer wheels clear
curbs and other obstacles.
When Towing a Trailer
• Do not drive faster than 70 mph (113 km/h) during the first 500
miles (800 kilometers).
• Do not make full-throttle starts.
• Check your hitch, electrical connections and trailer wheel lug
nuts thoroughly after you have
traveled 50 miles (80 kilometers).
• When stopped in congested or heavy traffic during hot weather,
place the gearshift in position P to
aid engine and transmission
cooling and to help A/C
performance. • Turn off the speed control with
heavy loads or in hilly terrain. The
speed control may turn off
automatically when you are towing
on long, steep grades.
• Shift to a lower gear when driving down a long or steep hill. Do not
apply the brakes continuously, as
they may overheat and become
less effective.
• If your transmission is equipped with a Grade Assist or Tow/Haul
feature, use this feature when
towing. This provides engine
braking and helps eliminate
excessive transmission shifting for
optimum fuel economy and
transmission cooling.
• Allow more distance for stopping with a trailer attached. Anticipate
stops and brake gradually.
• Avoid parking on a grade. However, if you must park on a grade:
• Turn the steering wheel to pointyour vehicle tires away from
traffic flow.
• Set your vehicle parking brake.
• Place the automatic transmission in position P.
• Place wheel chocks in front and back of the trailer wheels.
(Chocks not included with
vehicle.)
Launching or Retrieving a Boat
or Personal Watercraft (PWC)
Note: Disconnect the wiring to the
trailer before backing the trailer into
the water.

Fuses

If you see any corrosion on the battery
or terminals, remove the cables from
the terminals and clean with a wire
brush. You can neutralize the acid with
a solution of baking soda and water.
When a battery replacement is
required, the battery should only be
replaced with a Ford recommended
replacement battery that matches
the electrical requirements of the
vehicle.
Because your vehicle’s engine is
electronically-controlled by a
computer, some engine control
settings are maintained by power
from the low voltage battery. Some
engine computer settings, like the idle
trim and fuel trim strategy, optimize
the driveability and performance of
the engine. Some other computer
settings, like the clock and radio
station presets, are also maintained
in memory by power from the low
voltage battery. When a technician
disconnects and connects the low
voltage battery, these settings are
erased. Complete the following
procedure in order to restore the
settings:
1. With the vehicle at a completestop, set the parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission into P.
3. Turn off all accessories.
4. Step on the brake pedal and start the vehicle. 5. Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature.
While the engine is warming up,
complete the following: Reset the
clock. See Audio System (page
124). Reset the power windows
bounce-back feature. See
Windows and Mirrors (page 88).
Reset the radio station presets.
See Audio System (page 124).
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute. If the engine turns off,
step on the accelerator to start the
engine.
7. While the engine is running, step on the brake pedal and shift the
transmission to N.
8. Allow the engine to run for at least one minute by pressing on the
accelerator pedal.
9. Drive the vehicle at least 10 miles (16 kilometers) to completely
relearn the idle and fuel trim
strategy.
Note: If you do not allow the engine to
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy,
the idle quality of your vehicle may be
adversely affected until the engine
computer eventually relearns the idle
trim and fuel trim strategy.
Note: Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized standards
for disposal. Call your local authorized
recycling center to find out more about
recycling automotive batteries.

Maintenance

Do not remove any foreign object that
has pierced the tire. If a puncture is
located in the tire sidewall, stop and
call roadside assistance.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tirevalve.
2. Unwrap the clear tube from the compressor housing.
3. Remove the tube cap and fasten the metal connector of the tube to
the tire valve, turning clockwise.
Make sure the connection is tightly
fastened.
E144619
4. Plug the power cable into the12-volt power point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker found on the canister and place it on the
top of the instrument panel or the
center of the dash.
6. Start the vehicle only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated
area.
E144924
7. Push and turn dial (A)counterclockwise to the sealant
position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on/off button (B).
E144621
8. Inflate the tire to the pressurelisted on the tire label located on
the driver's door or the door jamb
area. When the sealing compound
is first added into the tire, the air
pressure gauge reading on the
compressor unit may indicate a
higher value; this is normal and
should be no reason for concern.
The pressure will drop after about
30 seconds of operation. The tire
pressure has to be checked with
the compressor in the OFF position
to get the correct tire pressure
reading.
300
Wheels and Tires

Each tire, including the spare
(if provided), should be
checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function
properly.
The tire pressure monitoring system
complies with part 15 of the FCC rules
and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
