PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM Note: The system is not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Note: Metallic objects, electronic devices or a second coded key on the same key chain may cause vehicle starting problems if they are too close to the key when starting your vehicle. Prevent these objects from touching the coded key while starting your vehicle. Switch the ignition off, move all objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart your vehicle if a problem occurs. Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in your vehicle. Always take your keys and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle. SecuriLock The system helps prevent your vehicle from starting unless you use a coded key programmed to your vehicle. Using the wrong key may prevent your vehicle from starting. A message may appear in the information display. If you are unable to start your vehicle with a correctly coded key, it is not operating properly. A message may appear in the information display. Automatic Arming Your vehicle arms immediately after switching the ignition off. Automatic Disarming Switching the ignition on with a coded key disarms your vehicle.

Replacement Keys Note: Your vehicle comes equipped with two intelligent access keys. The intelligent access key functions as a programmed key that operates the driver door lock and activates the intelligent access with push button start system, as well as a remote control. If your programmed transmitters are lost or stolen and you do not have an extra coded key, you need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. You need to erase the key codes from your vehicle and program new coded keys. Store an extra programmed key away from your vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. See your authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys. Programming a Spare Intelligent Access Key Note: You can program a maximum of four intelligent access keys to your vehicle. You must have two previously programmed intelligent access keys inside your vehicle and the new unprogrammed intelligent access keys readily accessible. See an authorized dealer to have the spare key programmed if two previously programmed keys are not available. Make sure that your vehicle is off before beginning this procedure. Make sure that you close all the doors before beginning and that they remain closed throughout the procedure. Perform all steps within 30
seconds of starting the sequence. Stop and wait for at least one minute before starting again if you perform any steps out of sequence. Read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS Note: Fully defrost the windshield before switching on the windshield wipers. Note: Make sure you switch off the windshield wipers before entering a car wash. Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades if they begin to leave streaks or smears. If that does not resolve the issue, install new wiper blades. Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper motor to burn out. Always use the windshield washers before wiping a dry windshield.

Intermittent Wipe

Shortest wipe interval Intermittent wipe Longest wipe interval

Use the rotary control to adjust the intermittent wipe interval. Speed Dependent Wipers When your vehicle speed increases, the interval between wipes will decrease. AUTOWIPERS (If Equipped) The feature uses a rain sensor. You will find it in the area around the interior mirror. The rain sensor monitors the amount of moisture on the windshield and automatically turns on the wipers. It adjusts the wiper speed by the amount of moisture that the sensor detects on the windshield. You can switch this feature on and off in the information display. See General Information (page 84).

Note: Make sure you switch off the windshield wipers before entering a car wash. Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades if they begin to leave streaks or smears. If that does not resolve the issue, install new wiper blades. Note: If you switch on the autolamps feature in conjunction with autowipers, your low beam headlamps will turn on automatically when the rain sensor turns on the windshield wipers to a normal wipe speed. WINDSHIELD WASHERS Note: Do not operate the washers when the washer reservoir is empty. This may cause the washer pump to overheat.

To operate the washers and spray the windshield, pull the lever toward you.

Highest sensitivity On Lowest sensitivity

Use the rotary control to adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor. There are six sensitivity settings. When you set the control to low sensitivity (the first position), the wipers turn on when there is a large amount of moisture on the windshield. When you set the control to high sensitivity (the sixth position), the wipers will turn on when there is a small amount of moisture on the windshield. Keep the outside of the windshield clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive. If the area around the mirror is dirty, then the wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hit the windshield. Wet or winter driving conditions with ice, snow or salty road mist can cause inconsistent and unexpected wiping or smearing. You can do the following to help keep your windshield clear: •

Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers to reduce the amount of smearing. Switch to normal or high-speed wipe. Switch off the autowipers.

• • Note: Fully defrost the windshield before switching on the windshield wipers.
