STARTING THE ENGINE Whenever you start your vehicle, release the key as soon as the engine starts.
Page 147 Starting Using the engine block heater (if equipped) An engine block heater warms the engine coolant, which improves starting, warms up the engine faster and allows the heater-defroster system to respond quickly. Use of an engine block heater is strongly recommended if you live in a region where temperatures reach -23°C (-10°F) or below.
Page 148 Starting Adjust the heating or air conditioning (if equipped) to bring in fresh air. Improve vehicle ventilation by keeping all air inlet vents clear of snow, leaves and other debris.
Page 149 Driving BRAKES Your service brakes are self-adjusting. Refer to the scheduled maintenance guide for scheduled maintenance. Occasional brake noise is normal and often does not indicate a performance concern with the vehicle’s brake system. In normal operation, automotive brake systems may emit occasional or intermittent squeal or groan noises when the brakes are applied.

Page 151 Driving The parking brake is not recommended to stop a moving vehicle. However, if the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop your vehicle in an emergency. Since the parking brake applies only the rear brakes, the vehicle’s stopping distance will increase greatly and the handling of your vehicle will be adversely affected.
Page 152 Driving Speed sensitive steering The steering in your vehicle is speed sensitive. At high speeds, steering assist will decrease to improve steering feel. At lower speeds, maneuverability will be increased. If the amount of effort required to steer your vehicle changes at a constant vehicle speed, have the power steering system checked by your dealer or a qualified service technician.
Page 153 Driving If you should become stuck in snow or on a very slippery road surface, try switching the Traction Control system off.

Page 163 Driving • If the gearshift lever is moved into the downshift (-) position more than once in rapid succession, the transmission will only allow a downshift into the next lower gear to prevent possible engine and/or transmission damage. Once the vehicle reaches below a specified entry speed for the next lower gear, the transmission will allow another downshift to occur if selected by the driver.

Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
Page 224 Maintenance and care Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control. Tire rotation Because your vehicle’s tires perform different jobs, they often wear differently. To make sure your tires wear evenly and last longer, rotate them as indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
Page 225 Maintenance and care • Unidirectional tire rotation For vehicles equipped with original equipment unidirectional tires and full-size spare, your vehicle can be driven with the unidirectional full-size spare, rotating counter to the directional arrow on the tire sidewall. Your unidirectional full-size spare tire is rotated for wear balance.
Page 226 Maintenance and care Failure to follow these precautions may adversely affect the handling of the vehicle and make it easier for the driver to lose control and roll over. Tires that are larger or smaller than your vehicle’s original tires may also affect the accuracy of your speedometer.
Page 227 Maintenance and care WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUELS Important safety precautions Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire. The fuel system may be under pressure.

Page 231 Maintenance and care Cleaner air Ford approves the use of reformulated “cleaner-burning” gasolines to improve air quality. These gasolines may contain oxygenates up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE. Running out of fuel Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse affect on powertrain components.
Page 232 Maintenance and care ESSENTIALS OF GOOD FUEL ECONOMY Measuring techniques Your best source of information about actual fuel economy is you, the driver. You must gather information as accurately and consistently as possible. Fuel expense, frequency of fillups or fuel gauge readings are NOT accurate as a measure of fuel economy.
Page 233 Maintenance and care Calculating fuel economy 1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading (in kilometers or miles). 2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added (in liters or gallons). 3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank and record the current odometer reading.
Page 234 Maintenance and care • Using the air conditioner or defroster may reduce fuel economy. • You may want to turn off the speed control in hilly terrain if unnecessary shifting between third and fourth gear occurs. Unnecessary shifting of this type could result in reduced fuel economy.
Page 235 Maintenance and care EPA window sticker Every new vehicle should have the EPA window sticker. Contact your dealer if the window sticker is not supplied with your vehicle. The EPA window sticker should be your guide for the fuel economy comparisons with other vehicles.

Page 240 Maintenance and care AIMING THE HEADLAMPS Your vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Headlamp Aim Device (VHAD) on each headlamp body. Each headlamp may be properly aimed in the horizontal direction (left/right) and the vertical position (up/down). A non-zero bubble reading does not necessarily indicate out-of-aim headlamps.
Page 241 Maintenance and care Vertical aim adjustment 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. With the hood open, remove protective cover, then locate the bubble level and the vertical adjustment screw. 3. The numbers shown on the vial indicate the directional change (up or down) of the vertical aim.
Page 242 Maintenance and care During winter months, it is especially important to wash the vehicle on a regular basis. Large quantities of dirt and road salt are difficult to remove and also cause damage to the vehicle. Any gasoline spilled on the vehicle or deposits such as bird droppings should be washed and sponged off as soon as possible.
Page 243 Maintenance and care Cleaning the wheels Wash with the same detergent as the body of your vehicle. Do not use acid-based or alcohol-based wheel cleaners, steel wool, fuel or strong detergents. Never use abrasives that will damage the finish of special wheel surfaces.
Page 244 Maintenance and care Ultra-Clear Spray Glass Cleaner, (E4AZ-19C507–AA), available from your Ford Dealer. Do not use abrasive cleansers on glass as they may cause scratches. The windshield or rear window is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it with water. The windshield, rear window and wiper blades should be cleaned on a regular basis, and blades or rubber elements replaced when worn.
Page 245 Maintenance and care • Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the running engine may cause internal damage. Cleaning the instrument panel Clean with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth. Avoid cleaner or polish that increases the gloss of the upper portion of the instrument panel.
