HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS

Note: The hazard warning flashers will
operate when the ignition is in any position
or if the key is not in the ignition. If used
when the engine is not running, the battery
will lose charge. As a result, there may be
insufficient power to restart your engine.

In some models, the hazard
flasher control is located on the

the steering column, just behind the
steering wheel.

E161463

Use your hazard warning flashers when
your vehicle is creating a safety hazard for
other motorists.

Press the flasher control and all front
and rear direction indicators flash.

Press the flasher control again to turn
them off.

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 is equipped with 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 by
doing the following:

1.

Turn the ignition off.

2. Turn the ignition to crank.
3. Turn the ignition off.
4. Turn the ignition on again to re-enable

the fuel pump.

JUMP-STARTING THE VEHICLE

WARNINGS

The gases around the battery can
explode if exposed to flames, sparks,
or lit cigarettes. An explosion could

result in injury or vehicle damage.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
can burn skin, eyes and clothing, if
contacted.

Use only an adequate-sized cable
with insulated clamps.

Preparing Your Vehicle

Note: Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start
capability. Attempting to push-start a
vehicle with an automatic transmission may
cause transmission damage.

Note: Use only a 12-volt supply to start your
vehicle.

Note: Do not disconnect the battery of the
disabled vehicle as this could damage the
vehicle's electrical system.
