warning function, and the front and

FUEL SHUTOFF

WARNING

Failure to inspect and, if necessary,
repair fuel leaks after a collision may
increase the risk of fire and serious

injury. Ford Motor Company recommends
that the fuel system be inspected by an
authorized dealer after any collision.

In the event of a moderate to severe
collision, this vehicle has a fuel pump
shut-off feature that stops the flow of fuel
to the engine. Not every impact will cause
a shut-off.

Should your vehicle shut off after a
collision, you may restart your vehicle.

For vehicles equipped with a key system:

1.

Switch off the ignition.

2. Switch on the ignition.

3. Check the information display for the

Ready to Drive light as the gasoline
engine may not start, but the electric
motor may be running. If you do not see
the Ready to Drive light, repeat Steps
1 and 2 up to two more times.

For vehicles equipped with a push button
start system:

1.

Press the push button start to switch
off the ignition.

2. Press the brake pedal and press the

push button start to switch on the
ignition.

3. Check the information display for the

Ready to Drive light as the gasoline
engine may not start, but the electric
motor may be running. If you do not see
the Ready to Drive light, repeat Steps
1 and 2 up to two more times.

Note: When you try to restart your vehicle
after a fuel shutoff, the vehicle makes sure
that the electrical system is safe to restart.
Once your vehicle determines that the
electrical system is safe, then the vehicle
will allow you to restart.

Note: In the event that your vehicle does
not restart after your third attempt, contact
an authorized dealer.

WARNINGS

The gases around the battery can
explode if exposed to flames, sparks,
