SecuriLock™

The SecuriLock™ passive anti-theft system

is an engine immobilization system. This

system is designed to help prevent the engine

from being started unless a coded Integrated

Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) programmed to

your vehicle is used. Using the wrong type of

coded key may lead to a “no start” condition.

deterrent when the ignition is turned off.

Reverse Sensing (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with a reverse

sensing system which can warn you if there

is an object behind the vehicle. The system

will sound a warning tone that increases in

frequency as the object gets closer and will

sound continuously when the object is less

than 10 inches away. Refer to your Owner’s

Guide for safety information and more details.

All Wheel Drive (AWD) (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with All Wheel

Drive (AWD). AWD uses all four wheels to

power the vehicle, thereby increasing traction

and enabling you to drive over terrain and

road conditions that a conventional two-

wheel drive vehicle cannot.

Note:

If your

vehicle is equipped with AWD, a spare tire of

a different size (other than the tire provided)

should never be used. Using a different

size could cause the AWD system to stop

functioning and default to front wheel drive.

Your vehicle is not intended for off-road use.

moon roof begin to open. If any other remote

entry transmitter control is pressed during

the opening operation, both windows and

the moon roof will stop opening.

About Your Leather Seats

– Your leather seats have

a clear, protective coating over them which requires
special care. Use only Motorcraft Deluxe Leather and
Vinyl Cleaner (ZC-11-A). Dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use any household cleaning products or
oil/petroleum-based conditioners as they may cause
premature wearing of the protective coating.

Location of Spare Tire and Tools

– If you get a fl at

tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the
steering wheel fi rmly and slowly move to a safe place
on the side of the road. Your vehicle is equipped
with a temporary spare tire. The spare tire, jack and
tool bag are located under the carpeted fl oor panel
in the trunk. The temporary spare is designed for
emergency use only and should be replaced as soon
as possible. For complete details on how to change
your tire, refer to the Roadside Emergencies chapter
in your Owner’s Guide.

Fuses

– If the vehicle’s electrical components are not

operating, a fuse may have blown. The fuse panel is
located below the instrument panel on the driver’s
side; remove the cover to view the fuses. Additional
fuses are located in the power distribution box in
the engine compartment. For more information
regarding changing fuses, refer to the Roadside
Emergencies chapter in your Owner’s Guide.

Fuel Type and Tank Capacity

– Front Wheel Drive

(FWD) vehicles have a fuel tank capacity of 17.5
gallons (66.2L) while All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles
have a fuel tank capacity of 16.5 gallons (62.4L).
Your vehicle is designed to use “Regular” unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87. Do not use
gasoline labeled as “Regular” in high altitude areas
that are sold with octane ratings less than 87. Do not
use E85 fuels as your vehicle was not designed to
run on E85 fuels that are blended with a maximum
of 85% ethanol.

Tire Pressure

– Your vehicle’s tire pressure

specifi cations are found on the vehicle’s Safety
Compliance Certifi cation Label or Tire Label located
on the driver’s door jamb. Check your tires for proper
air pressure monthly, and before long trips. Use an
accurate tire gauge to check the tire infl ation
pressure, including the spare (if equipped). Check
the tire pressure when tires are cold, after the
vehicle has been parked for at least three hours
or has been driven less than three miles (5 km).
(As you drive, the temperature in the tire warms
up, increasing the tire pressure.) As an added
safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped
with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure warning light

when one or more of your tires is signifi cantly

under-infl ated.

Warning

: Improperly infl ated tires

can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly,
resulting in a possible loss of vehicle control. Refer
to the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter in your
Owner’s Guide for further information.

Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch

– The fuel pump shut-off

switch stops the electric fuel pump from sending
fuel to your engine when your vehicle has sustained
a substantial jolt. The switch is located in the
passenger’s footwell, in the right upper corner. For
more information, refer to the Roadside Emergencies
chapter in your Owner’s Guide.
