Towing a Trailer

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM LOADED
TRAILER WEIGHT

The maximum loaded trailer weight is the
highest possible weight of a fully loaded
trailer the vehicle can tow.

CALCULATING THE MAXIMUM
LOADED TRAILER WEIGHT FOR
YOUR VEHICLE

Start with the gross combined weight
rating for your vehicle model and axle
ratio.

2. Subtract all of the following that apply

to your vehicle:

•

Vehicle curb weight.

•

Hitch hardware weight, for example a
draw bar, ball, locks or weight
distributing hardware.

•

Driver weight.

•

Passenger weight.

•

Payload, cargo and luggage weight.

•

Aftermarket equipment weight.

This equals the maximum loaded trailer
weight for this combination.

Note:

The trailer tongue load is considered

part of the payload for your vehicle. Reduce
the total payload by the final trailer tongue
weight.

Note:

Consult an authorized dealer to

determine the maximum trailer weight
allowed for your vehicle if you are not sure.

Towing a Trailer

HOW DOES TRAILER SWAY
CONTROL WORK

The system applies the brakes to the
individual wheels and reduces engine
torque to aid vehicle stability.

If the trailer begins to sway, the stability
control lamp flashes and the message

Trailer Sway Reduce Speed

appears in

the information display.

Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so. Check the vertical weight on the
tow ball and trailer load distribution.

TRAILER SWAY CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Turning off trailer sway

control increases the risk of loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death.
Ford does not recommend disabling this
feature except in situations where speed
reduction may be detrimental (such as
hill climbing), the driver has significant
trailer towing experience, and can control
trailer sway and maintain safe operation.

Note:

This feature only activates when

significant trailer sway occurs.

Note:

This feature does not prevent trailer

sway, but reduces it once it begins.

Note:

This feature cannot stop all trailers

from swaying.

Note:

In some cases, if vehicle speed is too

high, the system may activate multiple
times, gradually reducing vehicle speed.

SWITCHING TRAILER SWAY
CONTROL ON AND OFF

Trailer Sway Control

COLD WEATHER
PRECAUTIONS

The functional operation of some
components and systems can be affected
at temperatures below approximately
-13°F (-25°C).

DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE

WARNING:

If you are driving in

slippery conditions that require tire
chains or cables, then it is critical that
you drive cautiously. Keep speeds down,
allow for longer stopping distances and
avoid aggressive steering to reduce the
chances of a loss of vehicle control
which can lead to serious injury or death.
If the rear end of your vehicle slides while
cornering, steer in the direction of the
slide until you regain control of your
vehicle.

Avoid sudden applications of power and
quick changes of direction on snow and
ice. Apply the accelerator slowly and
steadily when starting from a full stop.
Avoid sudden braking. Although an
all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicle
accelerates better than a two-wheel drive
vehicle in snow and ice, it cannot stop any
faster as braking occurs at all four wheels.
Make sure that you allow sufficient
distance between your vehicle and other
vehicles for stopping. On ice and snow, you
should drive more slowly than usual. In
emergency stopping situations, steadily
apply the brake. Your vehicle has a four
wheel anti-lock brake system, do not pump
the brake pedal. See

Anti-Lock Braking

System Limitations

(page 180).

Note:

If your vehicle gets stuck driving on

hilly or sloping terrain, it could be rocked out
by shifting between forward and reverse
gears, stopping between shifts in a steady
pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in
each gear.

BREAKING-IN

Tires

You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 mi (480 km). During
this time, your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.

Brakes and Clutch

Avoid heavy use of the brakes and clutch
if possible for the first 100 mi (160 km) in
town and for the first 1,000 mi (1,600 km)
on freeways.

DRIVING ECONOMICALLY

The following helps to improve fuel
consumption:
•

Drive smoothly, accelerate gently and
anticipate the road ahead to avoid
heavy braking.

•

Regularly check your tire pressures and
make sure that they are inflated to the
correct pressure.

•

Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule and carry out the
recommended checks.

•

Plan your journey and check the traffic
before you set off. It is more efficient
to combine errands into a single trip
whenever possible.

•

Avoid idling the engine in cold weather
or for extended periods. Start the
engine only when you are ready to set
off.

260

Driving Hints

•

Do not carry unnecessary weight in your
vehicle as extra weight wastes fuel.

•

Do not add unnecessary accessories
to the exterior of your vehicle, for
example running boards. If you use a
roof rack, remember to fold it down or
remove it when not in use.

•

Do not shift into neutral when you are
braking or when your vehicle is slowing
down.

•

Shut all windows when driving at high
speeds.

•

Switch off all electric systems when
not in use, for example air conditioning.
Make sure that you unplug any
accessories from the auxiliary power
points when not in use.

DRIVING IN SPECIAL
CONDITIONS

DRIVING THROUGH MUD AND
WATER

Mud

Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle
speed or direction when you are driving in
mud. Even all-wheel drive and four-wheel
drive vehicles can lose traction in mud. If
your vehicle slides, steer in the direction of
the slide until you regain control of your
vehicle. After driving through mud, clean
off residue stuck to rotating driveshafts
and tires. Excess residue can cause an
imbalance that could damage drive
components.

Note:

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud, it

could be rocked out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

Note:

Do not rock your vehicle if the engine

is not at normal operating temperature, as
damage to the transmission could occur.

Note:

Do not rock your vehicle for more

than a minute, as damage to the
transmission and tires could occur or the
engine could overheat.

Water

If you must drive though water approach
it cautiously. See

Driving Through

Shallow Water

(page 262).

DRIVING ON HILLY OR SLOPING
TERRAIN

WARNING:

Extreme care should

be used when steering the vehicle in
reverse down a slope so as not to cause
the vehicle to swerve out of control.

Although natural obstacles could make it
necessary to travel diagonally up or down
a hill or steep incline, you should try to drive
straight up or straight down.

Note:

Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills.

A danger lies in losing traction, slipping
sideways and possible vehicle roll over.
Whenever driving on a hill, determine
beforehand the route you can use. Do not
drive over the crest of a hill without seeing
what conditions are on the other side. Do
not drive in reverse over a hill without the
aid of an observer.

Apply just enough power to the wheels to
climb the hill. Too much power causes the
tires to slip, spin or lose traction, and you
could lose control of your vehicle. When
descending a steep hill, do not descend
the hill in neutral. Avoid sudden hard
braking to keep the front wheels rolling and
to maintain your vehicle's steering.

Note:

Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes,

apply the brakes steadily. Do not pump the
brakes.

261

Driving Hints

Note:

If your vehicle gets stuck driving on

hilly or sloping terrain, it could be rocked out
by shifting between forward and reverse
gears, stopping between shifts in a steady
pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in
each gear.

Note:

Do not rock your vehicle if the engine

is not at normal operating temperature, as
damage to the transmission could occur.

Note:

Do not rock your vehicle for more

than a minute, as damage to the
transmission and tires could occur or the
engine could overheat.

DRIVING IN SAND

When driving over sand, try to keep all four
wheels on the most solid area of the trail.
Steadily drive through the terrain. Apply
the accelerator slowly and avoid excessive
wheel slip. Do not drive your vehicle in
deep sand for an extended period of time.
This could overheat the system. A
message appears in the instrument cluster
display.

Note:

If your vehicle gets stuck driving on

hilly or sloping terrain, it could be rocked out
by shifting between forward and reverse
gears, stopping between shifts in a steady
pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in
each gear.

Note:

Do not rock your vehicle if the engine

is not at normal operating temperature, as
damage to the transmission could occur.

transmission and tires could occur or the
engine could overheat

DRIVING THROUGH SHALLOW
WATER

WARNING:

Do not attempt to

cross a deep or flowing body of water.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

Note:

Driving through standing water can

cause vehicle damage.

Note:

Engine damage can occur if water

enters the air filter.

Before driving through standing water,
check the depth. Never drive through water
that is higher than the bottom of the front
rocker area of your vehicle.

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

E143886

If you need to tow your vehicle, contact a
professional towing service or your
roadside assistance service provider.

Your manufacturer produces a towing
manual for all authorized tow truck
operators. Have your tow truck operator
refer to this manual for proper hook-up
and towing procedures.

We recommend the use of a wheel lift and
dollies or flatbed equipment to tow your
vehicle. Vehicle damage could occur if
towed incorrectly, or by any other means.

268

Crash and Breakdown Information

Front-wheel and rear-wheel drive vehicles
must have their designated drive wheels
off the ground regardless of towing
direction. Use tow dollies to prevent
damage to the transmission.

All-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles
require that all wheels be off the ground
using a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment. This prevents damage to the
transmission and drive system.

Note:

You need to switch on the ignition to

unlock the steering.

Note:

Make sure you check the steering

column before towing. It could lock if the
battery is dead.

FAIL-SAFE COOLING

WHAT IS FAIL-SAFE COOLING

Fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarily
drive your vehicle before any incremental
component damage occurs due to
overheating.

The fail-safe distance depends on outside
temperature, vehicle load and terrain.

HOW DOES FAIL-SAFE COOLING
WORK

If the engine reaches a preset
over-temperature condition, the engine
automatically switches to alternating
cylinder operation. Each disabled cylinder
acts as an air pump and cools the engine.

When this occurs, your vehicle still
operates, however:
•

Engine power is limited.

•

The air conditioning system turns off.

Continued operation increases the engine
temperature, causing the engine to
completely shut down. Your steering and
braking effort increases in this situation.

When the engine temperature cools, you
can re-start the engine.

Note:

Have your vehicle checked as soon

as possible to minimize engine damage.

DRIVING WHEN FAIL-SAFE MODE
IS ACTIVATED

WARNING:

Fail-safe mode is for

use during emergencies only. Operate
your vehicle in fail-safe mode only as
long as necessary to bring your vehicle
to rest in a safe location and seek
immediate repairs. When in fail-safe
mode, your vehicle will have limited
power, will not be able to maintain
high-speed operation, and may
completely shut down without warning,
potentially losing engine power, power
steering assist, and power brake assist,
which may increase the possibility of a
crash resulting in serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not remove the

coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap
with a thick cloth to prevent the
possibility of scalding and slowly remove
the cap. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury.

Continued operation increases the engine
temperature, causing the engine to
completely shut down. Your steering and
braking effort increases in this situation.

When the engine temperature cools, you
can re-start the engine. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.

269

Crash and Breakdown Information

Your vehicle has limited engine power
when in the fail-safe mode, drive your
vehicle with caution. Your vehicle does not
maintain high-speed operation and the
engine may operate poorly.

Remember that the engine is capable of
automatically shutting down to prevent
engine damage. In this situation:

Pull off the road as soon as safely
possible and switch the engine off.

2. If you are a member of a roadside

assistance program, we recommend
that you contact your roadside
assistance service provider.

3. If this is not possible, wait for a short

period of time for the engine to cool.

4. Check the coolant level. If the coolant

level is at or below the minimum mark,
add prediluted coolant immediately.

5. When the engine temperature cools,

you can re-start the engine. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible to
minimize engine damage.

Note:

Driving your vehicle without repair

increases the chance of engine damage.

FAIL-SAFE COOLING INDICATORS

value. There is a large network of
authorized dealers that are there to help
you with their professional servicing
expertise. We believe that their specially
trained technicians are best qualified to
service your vehicle properly and expertly.
They are supported by a wide range of
highly specialized tools developed
specifically for servicing your vehicle.

If your vehicle requires professional service,
an authorized dealer can provide the
necessary parts and service. Check your
warranty information to find out which
parts and services are covered.

Use only recommended fuels, lubricants,
fluids and service parts conforming to
specifications. See

Capacities and

Specifications

(page 347).

•

Do not work on a hot engine.

•

Make sure that nothing gets caught in
moving parts.

•

Do not work on a vehicle with the
engine running in an enclosed space,
unless you are sure you have enough
ventilation.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Make sure that your vehicle is on level
ground.

2. Check the oil level before starting the

engine, or switch the engine off after
warm up and wait 15 minutes for the
oil to drain into the oil pan.

Note:

Checking the oil level too soon could

result in an inaccurate reading.

3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with

a clean, lint-free cloth.

4. Reinstall the dipstick and make sure it

is fully seated.

5. Remove the dipstick again to check the

oil level.

Note:

Read both sides of the dipstick and

use the lowest oil level as the correct
reading.

Note:

If the oil level is between the

maximum and minimum marks, the oil level
is acceptable. Do not add oil.

6. If the oil level is at the minimum mark,

immediately add oil.

Reinstall the dipstick. Make sure it is
fully seated.

Note:

The oil consumption of new engines

reaches its normal level after approximately
3,000 mi (5,000 km).

Note:

Increases in oil level can occur from

frequent short trips that do not allow the
engine to get to operating temperature, as
well as frequent idling or low speed driving
for long periods of time.

Note:

If oil levels are continuously noted

above the maximum mark, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.

ADDING ENGINE OIL

WARNING:

Do not remove the filler

cap when the engine is running.

WARNING:

Do not add engine oil

when the engine is hot. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury.

Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that the
vehicle warranty may not cover.

Clean the area surrounding the engine
oil filler cap before you remove it.

2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.

3. Add engine oil that meets our

specifications. See

Capacities and

Specifications

(page 347).

4. Reinstall the engine oil filler cap. Turn

it clockwise until you feel a strong
resistance.

Note:

Do not add oil further than the

maximum mark. Oil levels above the
maximum mark may cause engine damage.

Note:

Immediately soak up any oil spillage

with an absorbent cloth.

INTELLIGENT OIL LIFE MONITOR

Under certain conditions the vehicle’s
intelligent oil life monitor may determine
your oil requires replacement prior to your
general service. Should this occur it is
recommended you replace your oil within
two weeks or 500 mi (800 km) of being
alerted.

Your authorized dealer will be able to
advise you whether only an engine oil and
filter change is recommended or whether
you should complete your general service
inclusive of oil and oil Filter.
