Operating Tips • Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with airflow to the back seats. • Do not place objects on top of your instrument panel. These objects can block air flow or fall into the defroster outlets and possibly damage your climate control system. Objects placed on top of your instrument panel can also reduce your ability to see through the windshield. • Remove snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area (located at the bottom of the windshield under the hood). • If the vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot weather, the air conditioning will do a much faster job of cooling if you drive for a few minutes with the windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. • Clean the inside and outside of the windows periodically with a clean, soft cloth. This will remove the dirt film that can absorb moisture and increase window fogging.

• Do not use recirculated air when defogging the windows. • If equipped, activate the air conditioning when fogging occurs. Use of the air conditioning system is the most effective technique for dehumidifying the air and reducing fogging/misting of the windows. • Additional ways to reduce window fogging include: Select and adjust the registers to blow along the windows. Increase the blower speed. This reduces moisture by increasing the air flow rate. Increase the temperature setting. This will warm up the glass and reduce fogging/misting of the windows. • Before turning the vehicle off, turn off the air conditioning, select fan speed 4 and allow the system to operate at this speed for a few minutes. This will help reduce any fogging that may occur the next time the vehicle is started.

Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as

these objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

76

Vertical aim adjustment Your vehicle is fitted with either VOR (conventional) or VOL (HID) headlamps. The adjustment procedure depends on the type of headlamps fitted. VOR or VOL is printed on the headlamp lens in the following positions: • VOR - on the inboard bottom surface of the lens. • VOL - on the inboard top surface of the lens above the high beam bulb. You will need to open the hood in order to view it.

Follow the aim adjustment procedure for the type of headlamps fitted to your vehicle.

VOR 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6 meters (25 feet) from a vertical wall or screen directly in front of it.

2. Measure the height of the headlamp bulb center from the ground and mark a 2.5 meters (8 foot) horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen at this height. (A piece of masking tape works well.)

3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood.

4. On the wall or screen you will observe an area of high intensity light. The top of the high intensity area should touch the horizontal reference line. If not, the beam will need to be adjusted.

AdvanceTracT Stability Enhancement System (if equipped) The AdvanceTracT system helps the driver maintain the stability and steerability of the vehicle. The system integrates the antiĆlock braking (ABS) and Traction ControlT systems with a yaw reduction feature, to further enhance the stability of the vehicle. The system shares many of the electronic and mechanical elements already present in the Traction ControlT and ABS systems.

AdvanceTracT constantly monitors the vehicle motion relative to the driver's intended course. This is done by using added sensors that compare the steering inputs from the driver with the actual motion of the vehicle. When there is a discrepancy between the driver's inputs and the vehicle motion, AdvanceTracT changes the force at each tire to help control the vehicle. If the vehicle begins to rotate excessively left or right, spin out, or slide sideways, the system will attempt to correct the excessive motion. If the vehicle does not respond to steering inputs, the system will attempt to alter the turning response of the vehicle.

104

AdvanceTracT enhances stability during maneuvers that require all available tire traction to control the vehicle. The benefits of the AdvanceTracT system are most noticeable when driving in wet/snowy/icy road conditions and/or when performing emergency maneuvers. In an emergency laneĆchange, the driver will better control of the vehicle.

have

Driving conditions which may activate AdvanceTracT include: • Taking a turn too fast • Evasively maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle • Hitting a patch of ice • Changing lanes on a snowĆrutted road • Entering a snowĆfree road from a snowĆcovered side street • Entering a paved road from a gravel road • Hitting a curb while turning • Driving on slick surfaces During AdvanceTracT operation you may experience the following: • A rumble or grinding sound much like ABS • A slight deceleration or a reduction in the acceleration of the vehicle

Driver Controls

105

Driver Controls

The AdvanceTracT indicator light will flash: • If your foot is on the brake pedal, you will feel a vibration in the pedal much like ABS. As with any vehicle equipped with fourĆwheel ABS, do not pump the brakes, but instead, press firmly on the pedal. • If your foot is not on the brake, the brake pedal will move to apply higher brake forces. You may also hear a whoosh of air from under the instrument panel during the event.

All these conditions are normal during AdvanceTracT operation.

The AdvanceTracT system defaults to ON when the engine is started. The system does not work when the vehicle is traveling backwards. In reverse, the ABS and Traction ControlT systems will continue to function.

The AdvanceTracT system continually monitors and checks all sensors used in improving the stability of the vehicle. Some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake pedal when the system checks itself.

106

Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause

you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal injury or property damage. The occurrence of an AdvanceTracT event is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road and that you may lose control of the vehicle. If you experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN.

If you find yourself regularly experiencing

AdvanceTracT events, you are driving too fast for conditions, you should reduce your speed, and drive less aggressively. AdvanceTracT is limited by the laws of physics. It is always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver inputs for the conditions. The occurrence of an AdvanceTracT event is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this may cause you to lose control of the vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal injury or property damage.

SECURILOCKT PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM Your vehicle is equipped with a codedĆkey antiĆtheft system. Only the correct key will be able to start your vehicle. If your keys are lost or stolen, you must take your vehicle to your dealership for key reprogramming.

The SecuriLockT passive antiĆtheft system provides an advanced level of vehicle theft protection. Your vehicle's engine can only be started with the two special SecuriLockT electronically coded keys provided with your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the SecuriLockT key is read by the SecuriLockT passive antiĆtheft system. If the SecuriLockT key identification code matches the code stored in the SecuriLockT antiĆtheft system, the vehicle's engine is allowed to start. If the SecuriLockT key identification code does not match the code stored in the system or if a SecuriLockT key is not detected (vehicle theft situation), the vehicle's engine will not operate.

123

Locks and Security

The SecuriLockT passive antiĆtheft system is not compatible with nonĆFord (aftermarket) remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Large metallic objects, electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second key on the same key ring as the coded key ignition key may cause vehicle starting issues. If present, you need to keep these objects from touching the coded key ignition key while starting the engine. These objects and devices cannot damage the coded key ignition key, but can cause a momentary issue if they are too close to the key during engine start. If a problem occurs, turn ignition OFF and restart the engine with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key. Check to make sure the coded key ignition key is an approved Ford coded key ignition key. Spare SecuriLockT keys can be purchased from your dealership and programmed to your SecuriLockT passive antiĆtheft system. Refer to Programming spare SecuriLockT keys for more information. If one or both of your SecuriLockT keys are lost or stolen and you want to ensure the lost or stolen key will not operate your vehicle, bring your vehicle and all available SecuriLockT keys to your dealership for reinitialization.

124

Theft indicator When the ignition is turned to ON/RUN or START, the theft indicator on the instrument panel will light for three seconds and then go out (indicates proper SecuriLockT system operation). If the key is in the ignition and the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealership or a qualified technician.

Programming spare SecuriLockT keys Spare SecuriLockT keys can be purchased from your dealership and programmed to your SecuriLockT antiĆtheft system (up to a total of 8 keys). Your dealership can program your new SecuriLockT key(s) to your vehicle or you can do it yourself using the following simple procedure.

To program a new SecuriLockT key yourself, you will need two previously programmed SecuriLockT keys (keys that already operate your vehicle's engine). If two previously programmed SecuriLockT keys are not available (one or both of your original keys were lost or stolen), you must bring your vehicle to your dealership to have the spare SecuriLockT key(s) programmed.

Procedure to program spare SecuriLockT keys New SecuriLockT keys must have the correct mechanical key cut for your vehicle.

Conventional (non SecuriLockT) keys cannot be programmed to your vehicle.

The correct type of SecuriLockT key for your vehicle is identifiable by the alphanumeric characters stamped on the key blade. The SecuriLockT key identification for your vehicle is: one letter of the English alphabet followed by the number 1". For example, S1" or I1" on the key blade indicate you have the correct type of SecuriLockT key.) If the SecuriLockT key does not have this information stamped on the key blade, the key will not operate your vehicle.

You will need to have two previously programmed SecuriLockT keys and the new unprogrammed SecuriLockT key readily accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure. Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
