Starting and Stopping the Engine

Note:If you attempt to leave your
vehicle while it is in gear, the vehicle
will automatically shift into P (Park).
Safety belt and door monitors
determine your intent and make the
shift for you. During this time, a
Transmission not in Park message
will appear in the information display
screen prompting you to make the shift.
Note: To put your vehicle in gear with
the door open, perform steps 1-4. See
the Automatic Return to Park section
in this chapter for more information on
this feature.
P (Park)
With the transmission in P (Park),
your vehicle locks the transmission
and prevents the front wheels from
turning. Always come to a complete
stop before putting your vehicle into
and out of P (Park). An audible chime
sounds once you select P (Park).
When the ignition is turned off, the
vehicle will automatically shift into P
(Park). If the ignition is turned off
while the vehicle is moving, it will first
shift into N (Neutral) until a slow
enough speed is reached. The vehicle
will then shift into P (Park)
automatically.
Automatic Return to Park
Note: This feature will not operate
when your vehicle is in Stay in Neutral
mode or neutral tow.
Your vehicle has a safety feature that
will automatically shift your vehicle
into P (Park) when any of the
following conditions occur: • You turn the ignition off
• You open the driver's door with
your safety belt unlatched
• Your safety belt is unlatched while the driver's door is open
If you turn the ignition off while your
vehicle is moving, your vehicle will first
shift into N (Neutral) until it slows
down enough to shift into P (Park)
automatically.
Note: If you have waited an extended
period of time, (2-15 minutes) before
starting your vehicle, unlatching your
safety belt will cause this feature to
activate, even with the driver's door
closed.
Note: This feature may not work
properly if the door ajar switch is
malfunctioning. If your door ajar
indicator does not illuminate when you
open the driver’s door or the indicator
illuminates with the driver’s door
closed. See your authorized dealer.

you can start your vehicle and it is free
to roll. Hold the brake pedal down
while in this position.

Brakes

Note:Reconnect the wiring to the
trailer after removing the trailer from
the water.
When backing down a ramp during
boat launching or retrieval:
• Do not allow the static water level to rise above the bottom edge of
the rear bumper.
• Do not allow waves to break higher than 6 inches (15 centimeters)
above the bottom edge of the rear
bumper.
Exceeding these limits may allow
water to enter vehicle components:
• Causing internal damage to the components.
• Affecting driveability, emissions, and reliability.
Any time the rear axle submerges in
water, replace the rear axle lubricant.
Water may contaminate the rear axle
lubricant, which is not a normal
maintenance inspection item unless
there is a possibility of a leak or other
axle repair is required.TRANSPORTING THE
VEHICLE
E143886

towed, contact a professional towing
service or, if you are a member of a
roadside assistance program, your
roadside assistance service provider.

and dollies or flatbed equipment to
tow your vehicle. Do not tow with a
slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has
not approved a slingbelt towing
procedure. Vehicle damage may occur
if towed incorrectly, or by any other
means.

Roadside Emergencies

To clean these items, follow these
tips:
• You can clean the windows with anon-abrasive cleaner such as
Motorcraft Ultra-Clear Spray Glass
Cleaner.
• You can clean the wiper blades with isopropyl rubbing-alcohol or
Motorcraft Premium Windshield
Wash Concentrates 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.
If you cannot remove those streaks
after cleaning with the glass cleaner
or if the wipers chatter and move in a
jerky motion, clean the outer surface
of the windshield and the wiper
blades using a sponge or soft cloth
with a neutral detergent or
mild-abrasive cleaning solution. After
cleaning, rinse the windshield and
wiper blades with clean water. The
windshield is clean if beads do not
form when you rinse the windshield
with water.
Note: Do not use sharp objects, such
as a razorblade, to clean the inside of
the rear window or to remove decals,
as this may cause damage to the rear
window defroster’s heated grid lines.CLEANING THE INTERIOR
WARNINGS
Do not use cleaning solvents,
bleach or dye on the vehicle’s
safety belts, as these actions may
weaken the belt webbing.
On vehicles equipped with
seat-mounted airbags, do not
use chemical solvents or strong
detergents. Such products could
contaminate the side airbag system
and affect performance of the side
airbag in a collision.
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety
belts and seats equipped with side
airbags:
• Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
• Remove light stains and soil with Motorcraft Professional Strength
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner.
• If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first
with Motorcraft Spot and Stain
Remover. In Canada, use
Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Cleaner.
• If a ring forms on the fabric after spot cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately (but do not
oversaturate) or the ring will set.
• Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which
can stain and discolor the fabric
and affect the flame retardant
abilities of the seat materials.
