ENGINE OIL CAPACITY AND
SPECIFICATION - 2.3L
ECOBOOST™

Use oil that meets the defined
specification and viscosity grade.

If you do not use oil that meets the defined
specification and viscosity grade, it could
result in:
•

Component damage that your vehicle
warranty does not cover.

•

Longer engine cranking periods.

•

Increased emission levels.

•

Reduced vehicle performance.

•

Reduced fuel economy.

E142732

An oil that displays this symbol conforms
to current engine, emission system and
fuel economy performance standards of
ILSAC.

We recommend Motorcraft motor oil for
your vehicle. If Motorcraft oil is not
available, use motor oils of the
recommended viscosity grade that display
the API Certification Mark for gasoline
engines.

Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that your

WHAT IS A CONNECTED
VEHICLE

A connected vehicle has technology that
allows your vehicle to connect to a mobile
network and for you to access a range of
features. When used in conjunction with
the FordPass app, it could allow you to
monitor and control your vehicle further,
for example checking the tire pressures,
the fuel level and the vehicle location. For
additional information, refer to the local
Ford website.

CONNECTED VEHICLE
REQUIREMENTS

Connected service and related feature
functionality requires a compatible vehicle
network.

Some remote features require additional
service activation. Log in to your Ford
account for details. Some restrictions, third
party terms and message or data rates
may apply.

CONNECTED VEHICLE
LIMITATIONS

Evolving technology, cellular networks, or
regulations could affect functionality and
availability, or continued provision of some
features. These changes could even stop
some features from functioning.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why can I not confirm the
connection of my FordPass
account to the modem?

•

The modem is not enabled. Switch
vehicle connectivity on.

•

The network signal is weak. Move your
vehicle closer to a place where the
network signal is not obstructed.

Why can I not connect to a Wi-Fi
network?

•

You entered the wrong network
password. Enter the correct password.

•

The network signal is weak. Move your
vehicle closer to the Wi-Fi router or to
a place where the network signal is not
obstructed.

•

There are multiple access points in
range with the same network name.
Choose a unique name for your
network. Do not use the default name
unless it contains a unique identifier,
for example as part of the MAC
address.

Why does the Wi-Fi connection
disconnect after successful
connection?

•

The network signal is weak. Move your
vehicle closer to the Wi-Fi router or to
a place where the network signal is not
obstructed.

What can I do if I am close to a Wi-
Fi router but the network signal
strength is weak?

•

If your vehicle has a heated windshield,
position your vehicle so that the
windshield is not facing the Wi-Fi
router.

•

If your vehicle has metallic tinting on
the windows but not on the windshield,
position your vehicle so that the
windshield is facing the Wi-Fi router or
open the windows that are facing the
router.

•

If your vehicle has metallic tinting on
the windows and the windshield, open
the windows that are facing the router.

•

If your vehicle is in a garage and you
have the garage door closed, open the
garage door as it could block the signal.

Why can I not see a network I
expect to see in the list of available
networks?

•

The network is hidden. Make the
network visible and try again, or
manually add a network in the Wi-Fi
settings menu.

•

Some network security types are not
supported, for example WEP.

Why do software downloads take
too long?

•

The network signal is weak. Move your
vehicle closer to the Wi-Fi router or to
a place where the network signal is not
obstructed.

•

Wi-Fi network is in high demand or has
a slow Internet connection. Use a more
reliable Wi-Fi network.

FM RADIO

FM RADIO LIMITATIONS

The further you travel from a FM station,
the weaker the signal and the weaker the
reception.

Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges,
tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking
garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with the
reception.

When you pass a ground-based broadcast
repeating tower, a stronger signal may
overtake a weaker one and result in the
audio system muting.

DIGITAL RADIO

(IF EQUIPPED)

WHAT IS DIGITAL RADIO

HD Radio™ technology is the digital
evolution of analog FM radio.

For additional information, visit

www.HDRadio.com

HD Radio Technology is manufactured
under license from iBiquity Digital
Corporation and foreign patents. HD Radio
and the HD and HD Radio logos are
proprietary trademarks of XPERI. The
vehicle manufacturer and XPERI are not
responsible for the content sent using HD
Radio technology. Content may be
changed, added or deleted at any time at
the station owner's discretion.

HOW DOES DIGITAL RADIO WORK

Your system has a special receiver that
allows it to receive digital broadcasts in
addition to analog broadcasts.

HD1 signifies the main programming status
and is available in both analog and digital
broadcasts. Other multicast stations are
only available digitally and could contain
new or different content.

Note:

When the system first receives an

HD1 station, it plays the station in the analog
version until it verifies the station is an HD
Radio station. Then it shifts to the digital
version.

Note:

There is an audio mute delay when

switching to an HD2 or HD3 station because
the system has to reacquire and decode the
digital signal.

DIGITAL RADIO LIMITATIONS

If you are outside the reception area, the
system could not work.

If you are on the fringe of the reception
area, the station could mute due to weak
signal strength.

Note:

If you are listening to HD1, the system

changes back to the analog broadcast until
the digital broadcast is available again. If
you are listening to any other multicast
channels, the station mutes and stays
muted unless it is able to connect to the
digital signal again.

Depending on the station quality, you could
hear a slight sound change when the
station changes between analog and
digital audio.

You cannot access a saved HD station if
your vehicle is outside the station’s
reception area.

The color of the indicator changes to
indicate the system status.

Gray indicates the system is acquiring a
digital station.

Multicast Indicator

The multicast indicator appears if the
current station is broadcasting multiple
digital broadcasts. The highlighted
numbers indicate additional digital
channels available.

Note:

For stations that have more than one

HD multicast, the HD indicator and radio
text appears as a button. Press the button
to cycle through all of the HD stations on
that specific frequency.

SATELLITE RADIO

(IF EQUIPPED)

WHAT IS SATELLITE RADIO

Your factory-installed SiriusXM radio
system includes a limited subscription
term, which begins on the date of sale or
lease of your vehicle. See an authorized
dealer for availability.

For additional information about extended
subscription terms, visit

www.SiriusXM.com

in the United States,

www.SiriusXM.ca

Canada, or call SiriusXM at
1-888-539-7474.

Note:

SiriusXM reserves the unrestricted

right to change, rearrange, add or delete
programming including canceling, moving
or adding particular channels, and its prices,
at any time, with or without notice to you.
Neither SiriusXM and its affiliates nor Ford
Motor Company and its affiliates will be
liable to you or any third party for any such
modification, suspension or termination.

SATELLITE RADIO LIMITATIONS

For optimal reception performance, keep
the antenna clear of snow and ice build-up
and keep luggage and other material as
far away from the antenna as possible.
Placing luggage over the antenna may
reduce performance. Factory-installed and
aftermarket vehicle structures including,
but not limited to, roof racks and soft top
roofs in a partially open position could
reduce reception performance.

Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges,
tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking
garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with your
reception.

When you pass a ground-based
broadcast-repeating tower, a stronger
signal may overtake a weaker one and
could result in the audio system muting.
Your display could show an error message
to indicate the interference.
