ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Ford. We

recommend that you take some time to get

to know your vehicle by reading this manual.

The more that you know about your vehicle,

the greater the safety and pleasure you will

get from driving it.

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in

loss of vehicle control, crash and injury.

We strongly recommend that you use

extreme caution when using any device that

may take your focus off the road. Your

primary responsibility is the safe operation

of your vehicle. We recommend against the

use of any hand-held device while driving

and encourage the use of voice-operated

systems when possible. Make sure you are

aware of all applicable local laws that may

affect the use of electronic devices while

driving.

Note: This manual describes product

features and options available throughout

the range of available models, sometimes

even before they are generally available. It

may describe options not fitted to the vehicle

you have purchased.

Note: Some of the illustrations in this manual

may show features as used in different

models, so may appear different to you on

your vehicle.

Note: Always use and operate your vehicle

in line with all applicable laws and

regulations.

Note: Pass on this manual when selling your

vehicle. It is an integral part of your vehicle.

This manual may qualify the location of a

DATA RECORDING

Service Data Recording

Service data recorders in your vehicle are

capable of collecting and storing diagnostic

information about your vehicle. This

potentially includes information about the

performance or status of various systems

and modules in the vehicle, such as engine,

throttle, steering or brake systems. In order

to properly diagnose and service your

vehicle, Ford Motor Company (Ford of

Canada in Canada), and service and repair

facilities may access or share among them

vehicle diagnostic information received

through a direct connection to your vehicle

when diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.

Additionally, Ford Motor Company (Ford of

Canada, in Canada) may, where permitted

by law, use vehicle diagnostic information

for vehicle improvement or with other

information we may have about you, (for

example, your contact information), to offer

you products or services that may interest

you. Data may be provided to our service

providers such as part suppliers that may

help diagnose malfunctions, and who are

similarly obligated to protect data. We retain

this data only as long as necessary to

perform these functions or to comply with

law. We may provide information where

required in response to official requests to

law enforcement or other government

authorities or third parties acting with lawful

authority or court order, and such information

may be used in legal proceedings. For U.S.

only (if equipped), if you choose to use

connected apps and services, such as SYNC

Vehicle Health Report or MyFord Mobile App,

you consent that certain diagnostic

information may also be accessed

electronically by Ford Motor Company and

Ford authorized service facilities, and that

the diagnostic information may be used to

provide services to you, personalizing your

experience, troubleshoot, and to improve

products and services and offer you products

and services that may interest you, where

permitted by law. For Canada only, for more

information, please review the Ford of

Canada privacy policy at www.ford.ca,

including our U.S. data storage and use of

service providers in other jurisdictions who

may be subject to legal requirements in

Canada, the United States and other

countries applicable to them, for example,

lawful requirements to disclose personal

information to governmental authorities in

those countries.

Event Data Recording

This vehicle is equipped with an event data

recorder. The main purpose of an event

data recorder is to record, in certain crash

or near crash-like situations, such as an

airbag deployment or hitting a road

obstacle; this data will assist in

understanding how a vehicle’s systems

performed. The event data recorder is

designed to record data related to vehicle

dynamics and safety systems for a short

period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

10

MKT (TP4) , enUSA, Edition date: 201803, First-Printing

Introduction

The event data recorder in this vehicle is

designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle

were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and

passenger safety belts were

buckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was

depressing the accelerator and/or the

brake pedal; and

• How fast the vehicle was traveling; and

• Where the driver was positioning the

steering wheel.

This data can help provide a better

understanding of the circumstances in

which crashes and injuries occur.

Note: Event data recorder data is recorded

by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash

situation occurs; no data is recorded by the

event data recorder under normal driving

conditions and no personal data or

information (e.g., name, gender, age, and

crash location) is recorded (see limitations

regarding 911 Assist and Traffic, directions

and Information privacy below). However,

parties, such as law enforcement, could

combine the event data recorder data with

the type of personally identifying data

routinely acquired during a crash

investigation.

To read data recorded by an event data

recorder, special equipment is required,

and access to the vehicle or the event data

recorder is needed. In addition to the

vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such

as law enforcement, that have such special

equipment, can read the information if they

have access to the vehicle or the event data

recorder. Ford Motor Company and Ford

of Canada do not access event data

recorder information without obtaining

consent, unless pursuant to court order or

where required by law enforcement, other

government authorities or other third

parties acting with lawful authority. Other

parties may seek to access the information

independently of Ford Motor Company and

Ford of Canada.

Note: Including to the extent that any law

pertaining to Event Data Recorders applies

to SYNC or its features, please note the

following: Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is

enabled (set ON), 911 Assist may, through

any paired and connected cell phone,

disclose to emergency services that the

vehicle has been in a crash involving the

deployment of an airbag or, in certain

vehicles, the activation of the fuel pump

shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911

Assist may also be capable of being used

to electronically or verbally provide to 911

operators the vehicle location (such as

latitude and longitude), and/or other details

about the vehicle or crash or personal

information about the occupants to assist

911 operators to provide the most

appropriate emergency services. If you do

not want to disclose this information, do

not activate the 911 Assist feature.

11

MKT (TP4) , enUSA, Edition date: 201803, First-Printing

Introduction

Additionally, when you connect to Traffic,

Directions and Information (if equipped,

U.S. only), the service uses GPS technology

and advanced vehicle sensors to collect

the vehicle’s current location, travel

direction, and speed (“vehicle travel

information”), only to help provide you with

the directions, traffic reports, or business

searches that you request. If you do not

want Ford or its vendors to receive this

information, do not activate the service. For

more information, see Traffic, Directions

and Information, Terms and Conditions.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

RECOMMENDATION

We have built your vehicle to the highest

standards using quality parts. We

recommend that you demand the use of

genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts whenever

your vehicle requires scheduled

maintenance or repair. You can clearly

identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts

by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or

Motorcraft branding on the parts or their

packaging.

Scheduled Maintenance and

Mechanical Repairs

One of the best ways for you to make sure

that your vehicle provides years of service

is to have it maintained in line with our

recommendations using parts that conform

to the specifications detailed in this Owner’ s

Manual. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts

meet or exceed these specifications.

Collision Repairs

We hope that you never experience a

collision, but accidents do happen. Genuine

Ford replacement collision parts meet our

stringent requirements for fit, finish, structural

integrity, corrosion protection and dent

resistance. During vehicle development we

validate that these parts deliver the intended

level of protection as a whole system. A

great way to know for sure you are getting

this level of protection is to use genuine Ford

replacement collision parts.

Warranty on Replacement Parts

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement

parts are the only replacement parts that

benefit from a Ford Warranty. The Ford

Warranty may not cover damage caused to

your vehicle as a result of failed non-Ford

parts. For additional information, refer to the

terms and conditions of the Ford Warranty.

SPECIAL NOTICES

New Vehicle Limited Warranty

For a detailed description of what is covered

and what is not covered by your vehicle’s

New Vehicle Limited Warranty, see the

Warranty Manual that is provided to you

along with your Owner’s Manual.

Special Instructions

For your added safety, your vehicle is fitted

with sophisticated electronic controls.

WARNINGS

You risk death or serious injury to

yourself and others if you do not follow

the instruction highlighted by the warning

symbol. Failure to follow the specific

warnings and instructions could result in

personal injury.

NEVER use a rearward facing child

restraint on a seat protected by an

ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or

SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

Introduction

On Board Diagnostics Data Link

Connector

WARNING

Do not connect wireless plug-in

devices to the data link connector.

Unauthorized third parties could gain access

to vehicle data and impair the performance

of safety related systems. Only allow repair

facilities that follow our service and repair

instructions to connect their equipment to

the data link connector.

Your vehicle has an OBD Data Link

Connector (DLC) that is used in conjunction

with a diagnostic scan tool for vehicle

diagnostics, repairs and reprogramming

services. Installing an aftermarket device that

uses the DLC during normal driving for

purposes such as remote insurance company

monitoring, transmission of vehicle data to

other devices or entities, or altering the

performance of the vehicle, may cause

interference with or even damage to vehicle

systems. We do not recommend or endorse

the use of aftermarket plug-in devices unless

approved by Ford. The vehicle Warranty will

not cover damage caused by an aftermarket

plug-in device.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS

EQUIPMENT

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in

loss of vehicle control, crash and injury.

We strongly recommend that you use

extreme caution when using any device that

may take your focus off the road. Your

primary responsibility is the safe operation

of your vehicle. We recommend against the

use of any hand-held device while driving

and encourage the use of voice-operated

systems when possible. Make sure you are

aware of all applicable local laws that may

affect the use of electronic devices while

driving.

Using mobile communications equipment is

becoming increasingly important in the

conduct of business and personal affairs.

However, you must not compromise your

own or others’ safety when using such

equipment. Mobile communications can

enhance personal safety and security when

appropriately used, particularly in emergency

situations. Safety must be paramount when

using mobile communications equipment to

avoid negating these benefits. Mobile

communication equipment includes, but is

not limited to, cellular phones, pagers,

portable email devices, text messaging

devices and portable two-way radios.

EXPORT UNIQUE OPTIONS

may be equipped with features and options

that are different from the features and

options that are described in this Owner’s

Manual. A market unique supplement may

be supplied that complements this book. By

referring to the market unique supplement,

if provided, you can properly identify those

features, recommendations and
