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. Switch the ignition off and wait approximately 10 seconds.

2. Switch the ignition on.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to re-enable the fuel pump.
Note: When you try to restart your vehicle after a fuel shutoff, the
vehicle makes sure that various systems are safe to restart. Once our
vehicle determines that the systems are 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.

JUMP-STARTING THE VEHICLE

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

injury or vehicle damage.

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

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.
