Introduction

Event Data Recording

Other modules in your vehicle - event data recorders - are capable of collecting and storing data during a crash or near crash event. The recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event. The modules may record information about both the vehicle and the occupants, potentially including information such as:

• how various systems in your vehicle were operating;

• whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were buckled;

• how far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the

brake pedal;

• how fast the vehicle was traveling; and

• where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.

To access this information, special equipment must be directly connected to the recording modules. 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.

Cell phone use

The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However, drivers must not compromise their 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, in-vehicle communications systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.

A driver’s first responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle.

The most important thing you can do to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to operate Mobile Communications Equipment.

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the respective system inspected immediately.

Some of the warning lights shown are optional based on vehicle equipment; your vehicle may not have some of the warning lights shown in this section.

Service engine soon: If this light illuminates while driving, it is a possible indication that one of the engine’s emission control systems has failed.

Check suspension: Illuminates when there is a fault in the electronic subsystem of the air suspension.

Stop engine: This light is used in conjunction with the electronic engine control. Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for specific information regarding this feature. If the engine shuts down, it can be restarted and operated for 30 seconds at a time or until the problem is corrected. Refer to Engine shutdown system in the Driving chapter.

Drivers of electronically controlled engines should know the extent of warning engine shutdown system before operating the vehicle. This information can be obtained from your dealer.

Brake reserve system warning:

Illuminates to indicate normal Hydromax booster reserve system activation when the engine is OFF and the service brake pedal is applied. This light may also illuminate momentarily if the engine is running and the driver turns the steering wheel fully in one direction while braking. If the light remains on while the engine is running, this indicates inadequate hydraulic booster pressure or reserve pump system failure. Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service immediately.

Brake system warning light: To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, this light will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position when the engine is not running. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this time, seek service immediately from your dealership. Illumination after starting the vehicle indicates a pressure differential in the master cylinder and the brake system should be inspected immediately by your dealership.

If equipped with an air brake system, the warning light stays on until the air pressure builds up to 60 psi (414 kPa). If the air pressure drops below 60 psi (414 kPa) during operation, the remaining brake system is still operational but the stopping distance will be greater.

Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning light on is

dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. Have the vehicle checked by your dealer immediately.

Battery voltage gauge: Indicates the battery voltage when the ignition is in the ON position. If the pointer moves and stays outside the normal operating range (as indicated by arrows), have the vehicle’s electrical system checked as soon as possible.

Transmission temperature gauge (if equipped, automatic transmission only):

Indicates the temperature of the transmission fluid. The normal temperature range is 150°–230°F (65°–110°C). Readings of 230°–250°F (110°–121°C) are satisfactory for intermittent operation and are not cause for alarm. Operation above 250°F (121°C) can cause the fluid to break down and will result in component damage.

Instrument Cluster

Hourmeter (if equipped):

Registers the hours the engine has been operating.

Air filter restriction gauge:

Measures the vacuum inside the air cleaner. The more the air cleaner is restricted (dirty, clogged), the higher the vacuum reading. Change the air filter when the gauge reads 25 inches. After installation of the new filter element, reset the gauge to 0.
