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

component as left-hand side or right-hand

side. The side is determined when facing

forward in the seat.

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

9

Taurus (CPH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201709, Second Printing

Introduction

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. See SYNC™ (page 330).

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.

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

10

Taurus (CPH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201709, Second Printing

Introduction

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. See SYNC™ (page 330).

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. See SYNC™

(page 330).

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.

vehicle may be equipped with features and

options that are different from the features
