FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH

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 shutoff.

1. Turn the ignition off.

2. Turn the ignition to crank.

3. Turn the ignition to crank.

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 power the vehicle off.

2. Press the START/STOP button to power the vehicle on.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to re-enable fuel pump.

HIGH VOLTAGE SHUT OFF

In the event of a crash:
• Take the same actions as you would take in a crash involving a

gasoline-powered vehicle — exit the vehicle safely or await the
assistance of an emergency responder if they are unable to get out on
their own, move a safe distance away from the vehicle, and notify the
authorities of the crash.

• If possible, inform emergency responders that the vehicle is electric

powered.

• Vehicle owners should not store a severely damaged vehicle in a

garage or near other vehicles.

The high voltage shut off operation shuts off power from the high voltage
battery after a collision, or if your vehicle receives a substantial physical jolt.
