Note: If a vehicle charging system fault is detected at any point in a
charge cycle the entire light ring will flash continuously for one minute
and then shut off. If this happens unplug, and then re-plug the charging
coupler into the charge port receptacle. If the problem persists contact
your authorized dealer.

The light ring illumination conditions can be modified. See the Charge
Port Light Ring Settings
in the MyFord Touch chapter.

Disconnecting the Charging Coupler

Note: Do not pull the wall plug from the wall while the vehicle is
charging. Doing so may damage the outlet and the cord.

To disconnect the charging coupler:

1. Press the button on the charging coupler with your thumb.

2. While holding the button, remove the charging coupler from the
vehicle’s charge port receptacle.

3. Close the charge port door by pressing the indentation on the charge
port door. Continue pressing the indentation while the door rotates
counter clockwise and closes.

Convenience Charging and MyFord® Mobile

The setting up of the charging convenience features is primarily done with
the MyFord Mobile smart phone application. Visit myfordmobile.com for
more complete information and to set up your MyFord Mobile account.

Your electric vehicle also has some convenience features to improve your
charging experience:
Value Charge: The vehicle schedules charging at the lowest available

utility rates. Contact your utility company to see what rates are
available.

Charge Now: Fully charge your vehicle at the quickest rate. The

vehicle starts charging immediately after you connect the charging
plug into the vehicle.

My GO Time: Setting My GO times through the MyFord Mobile

application allows you to set charging schedules and cabin
preconditioning settings so your vehicle is ready to drive when you
are. By setting a My GO time the vehicles charge can be completed
before your next set drive time. A calendar view allows you to
program two My GO Times per day for each of the seven days of the
week. Remember, your vehicle must be plugged in for My GO time to
work.
