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.

For vehicles equipped with a push button
start system:

1.

Press the START/STOP button to
turn the ignition off.

2. Press the brake pedal and press the

START/STOP button (crank
attempt).

3. Remove your foot from the brake pedal

and press the START/STOP button
(ignition off).

4. Press the START/STOP button again

to re-enable the fuel system.

JUMP-STARTING THE VEHICLE

WARNINGS

Do not use fuel lines, engine rocker
covers or the intake manifold as

Always use booster cables with
insulated clamps and adequate size
