Switching the Vehicle Off When Not in P (Park)
It is recommended that you shift into the P (Park) position before
switching your vehicle off. If you switch your vehicle off with the shifter
in any position other than P (Park), the message SHIFT TO PARK is
displayed in the multifunction display. If the vehicle is left in this state,
your key in ignition chime activates when the driver door is opened, and
you may drain your vehicle’s battery. In order to avoid draining your
battery, it is recommended that you always shift to P (Park) before or
immediately after switching your vehicle off.
Absence of the Intelligent Access Key
Once the vehicle has started, the vehicle remains running until being
turned off by the power button, even if the IA key is no longer found in
the vehicle. Whenever a door is opened and then closed while the
vehicle is running, the system searches for an IA key inside the vehicle
and the multifunction display reads KEY OUTSIDE CAR if the IA key is
no longer present. This message is a reminder that someone else in the
vehicle may have taken the IA key when exiting the vehicle. If the IA key
is no longer present in the vehicle, you cannot start your vehicle outside
of the Fast Restart time (see Fast restart above). It is important to be
aware of where your IA key is located in the vehicle, to avoid becoming
stranded without an IA key.
BRAKES
Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding
or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out
and should be inspected by an authorized dealer. If the vehicle has
continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, the
vehicle should be inspected by an authorized dealer.
Refer to Warning lights and indicators in the Instrument
Cluster chapter for information on the brake system warning
light.
Under normal operating conditions, brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels. Some brake dust is inevitable as brakes wear and does not
contribute to brake noise. The use of modern friction materials with
emphasis on improved performance and environmental considerations
can lead to more dust than in the past. Brake dust can be cleaned by
weekly washing with soapy water and a soft sponge. Heavier deposits can
be removed with Motorcraft威 Wheel and Tire Cleaner. See the Cleaning
chapter for more information.
