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.

E142663

The hazard flasher control is
located on the instrument panel
by the radio. Use it when your

vehicle is disabled and 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. For
vehicles equipped with a key system:
1.

Switch off the ignition.

2. Switch on the ignition.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to re-enable the

fuel pump.

For vehicles equipped with a push button
start system:
1.

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

2. Press the brake pedal and press the

START/STOP button to start the
vehicle.

3. Remove your foot from the brake pedal

and press the START/STOP button
to switch off the ignition.

4. You can either attempt to start the

engine by pressing the brake pedal and
the START/STOP button, or switch
on the ignition only by pressing the
START/STOP button without
pressing the brake pedal. Both ways
re-enable the fuel system.

Note: When you try to restart your vehicle
after a fuel shutoff, the vehicle makes sure
that various systems are safe to restart.
Once your 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

The gases around the battery can
explode if exposed to flames, sparks,

result in personal injury or vehicle damage.
