Fuel Pump Shut-off

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 due to this feature, you may

restart your vehicle by doing the following:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the off position.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.

In some instances the vehicle may not restart the first time you try to

restart and may take one additional attempt.

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.

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.

When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the

automatic transmission must relearn its shift strategy. As a result, the

transmission may exhibit a combination of firm and soft shifts. This

operation is considered normal and will not affect function or durability

of the transmission. Over time, the adaptive learning process will fully

update transmission operation.
