    switch.
    Fast Restart
    The fast restart feature allows you to
    restart your vehicle within 20 seconds of
    switching it off, even if it does not detect
    a valid passive key.
    Within 20 seconds of switching the engine
    off, press the brake pedal and press the
    push button ignition switch.  After 20
    seconds, you can no longer start your
    vehicle if it does not detect a valid passive
    key.
    Once your vehicle starts, it remains running
    until you press the push button ignition
    switch, even if your vehicle does not detect
    a valid passive key.  If you open and close
    a door while your vehicle is running, the
    system searches for a valid passive key.
    After 20 seconds, you can no longer start
    your vehicle if it does not detect a valid
    passive key.
    Automatic Engine Shutdown
    This feature automatically shuts down
    your vehicle if it has been idling for an
    extended period. The ignition also turns off
    to save battery power. Before your vehicle
    shuts down, a message appears in the
    information display showing a timer
    counting down. If you do not intervene
    within 30 seconds, your vehicle shuts
    down. Another message appears in the
    information display to inform you that your
    vehicle has shut down to save fuel. Start
    your vehicle as normal.
    Automatic Engine Shutdown Override
    Note:  You cannot permanently switch off
    the automatic shutdown.  When you switch
    it off temporarily, it turns on at the next
    ignition cycle. You can stop the shutdown, or reset the
    timer, at any point before the 30-second
    countdown has expired by doing any of the
    following:
    •
    Interacting with your vehicle, for
    example pressing the brake or
    accelerator pedal.
    • You can temporarily switch off the
    shutdown any time the ignition is on
    using the information display.  See
    Information Displays (page 93).
    • During the countdown before
    shutdown, you are prompted to press
    OK or RESET (depending on your type
    of information display) to temporarily
    switch the feature off (for the current
    ignition cycle only).
    Stopping the Engine When Your
    Vehicle is Stationary
    Note: The ignition, all electrical circuits and
    all warning lamps and indicators will be
    turned off.
    Note: If your vehicle is left running for 30
    minutes without any interaction, it
    automatically shuts down.

    2. Shift into park (P).
    3. Briefly press the push button ignition switch.
    Stopping the Engine When Your
    Vehicle is Moving WARNING
    Switching off the engine when the
    vehicle is still moving will result in a
    loss of brake and steering assistance.
    The steering will not lock, but higher effort
    will be required. When the ignition is
    switched off, some electrical circuits,
    including air bags, warning lamps and
    indicators may also be off. If the ignition
    was turned off accidentally, you can shift
    into neutral (N) and re-start the engine. 148

    Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes WARNING
    If you smell exhaust fumes inside
    your vehicle, have your vehicle
    checked by your authorized dealer
    immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if
    you smell exhaust fumes. Carbon
    monoxide is present in exhaust fumes.
    Take precautions to avoid its dangerous
    effects. Important Ventilating Information
    If you stop your vehicle and then leave the
    engine idling for long periods, we
    recommend that you do one of the
    following:
    •
    Open the windows at least 1 in (3 cm).
    • Set your climate control to outside air.
    ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (If
    Equipped) WARNINGS
    Failure to follow engine block heater
    instructions could result in property
    damage or serious personal injury.
    Do not use your heater with
    ungrounded electrical systems or
    two-pronged adapters. There is a risk
    of electrical shock. Note:
    The heater is most effective when
    outdoor temperatures are below 0°F
    (-18°C).
    The heater acts as a starting aid by
    warming the engine coolant. This allows
    the climate control system to respond
    quickly. The equipment includes a heater
    element (installed in the engine block) and
    a wire harness. You can connect the
    system to a grounded 120-volt AC
    electrical source.
    We recommend that you do the following
    for a safe and correct operation:
    • Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
    that is product certified by
    Underwriter ’s Laboratory (UL) or
    Canadian Standards Association
    (CSA). This extension cord must be
    suitable for use outdoors, in cold
    temperatures, and be clearly marked
    Suitable for Use with Outdoor
    Appliances. Do not use an indoor
    extension cord outdoors. This could
    result in an electric shock or become a
    fire hazard.
    • Use as short an extension cord as
    possible.
    • Do not use multiple extension cords.
    • Make sure that when in operation, the
    extension cord plug and heater cord
    plug connections are free and clear of
    water. This could cause an electric
    shock or fire.
    • Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
    clean area, clear of combustibles.
    • Make sure the heater, heater cord and
    extension cord are firmly connected.
    • Check for heat anywhere in the
    electrical hookup once the system has
    been operating for approximately 30
    minutes.
    • Make sure the heater system is
    checked for proper operation before
    winter.

    Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Starting and Stopping the Engine 
    						
    							Using the Engine Block Heater
    The engine block heater plug is located in
    a housing in the left fog lamp bezel. Open
    the hinged, circular door and make sure
    the receptacle terminals are clean and dry
    prior to use. Clean them with a dry cloth if
    necessary.
    The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
    of energy per hour of use. The system does
    not have a thermostat. It will achieve
    maximum temperature after
    approximately three hours of operation. If
    you use the heater longer than three hours,
    this will not improve system performance
    and will use unnecessary electricity.

    							AUTO-START-STOP (If Equipped)
    The system helps reduce fuel consumption
    by automatically shutting off and restarting
    the engine while your vehicle is stopped.
    The engine will restart automatically when
    you release the brake pedal. In some
    situations, your vehicle may restart
    automatically, for example:
    • To maintain interior comfort
    • To recharge the battery
    Note: Power assist steering is turned off
    when the engine is off. WARNINGS
    The engine may restart
    automatically if required by the
    system.
    Switch the ignition off before
    opening the hood or performing any
    maintenance. Failure to do so may
    result in serious injuries due to automatic
    engine restart. Always switch the ignition off before
    leaving your vehicle, as the system
    may have turned the engine off, but
    the ignition will still be on and automatic
    restart may occur. The Auto StartStop system status is
    available at a glance within the information
    display.  See Information Displays (page
    93
    ).
    Enabling Auto StartStop
    The system is automatically enabled every
    time you start your vehicle if the following
    conditions are met:
    • The Auto StartStop button is not
    pressed (not illuminated).
    • Your vehicle exceeds an initial speed
    of 3 mph (4 km/h) after the vehicle has

    							SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
    WARNINGS
    Do not overfill the fuel tank. The
    pressure in an overfilled tank may
    cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
    and fire. The fuel system may be under
    pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
    near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel
    until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may
    spray out, which could cause serious
    personal injury. Fuels can cause serious injury or
    death if misused or mishandled.
    Flow of fuel through a fuel pump
    nozzle can produce static electricity.
    This can cause a fire if you are filling
    an ungrounded fuel container. Fuel may contain benzene, which is
    a cancer-causing agent.
    When refueling always shut the
    engine off and never allow sparks or
    open flames near the fuel tank filler
    valve. Never smoke or use a cell phone
    while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely
    hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid
    inhaling excess fumes. Observe the following guidelines when
    handling automotive fuel:
    •
    Extinguish all smoking materials and
    any open flames before refueling your
    vehicle.
    • Always turn off the vehicle before
    refueling. •
    Automotive fuels can be harmful or
    fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as
    gasoline is highly toxic and if
    swallowed can cause death or
    permanent injury. If fuel is swallowed,
    call a physician immediately, even if no
    symptoms are immediately apparent.
    The toxic effects of fuel may not be
    visible for hours.
    • Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too
    much fuel vapor of any kind can lead
    to eye and respiratory tract irritation.
    In severe cases, excessive or prolonged
    breathing of fuel vapor can cause
    serious illness and permanent injury.
    • Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If
    fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove
    contact lenses (if worn), flush with
    water for 15 minutes and seek medical
    attention. Failure to seek proper
    medical attention could lead to
    permanent injury.
    • Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed
    through the skin. If fuel is splashed on
    the skin, clothing or both, promptly
    remove contaminated clothing and
    wash skin thoroughly with soap and
    water. Repeated or prolonged skin
    contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes
    skin irritation.
    • Be particularly careful if you are taking
    Antabuse or other forms of Disulfiram
    for the treatment of alcoholism.
    Breathing gasoline vapors could cause
    an adverse reaction, serious personal
    injury or sickness. If fuel is splashed on
    the skin, wash the affected areas
    immediately with plenty of soap and
    water. Consult a physician immediately
    if you experience any adverse reactions.

    Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Fuel and Refueling 
    						
    							FUEL QUALITY
    Choosing the Right Fuel
    We recommend regular unleaded gasoline
    with a minimum pump (R+M)/2 octane
    rating of 87. Some fuel stations offer fuels
    posted as regular unleaded gasoline with
    an octane rating below 87, particularly in
    high altitude areas. We do not recommend
    fuels with an octane rating below 87.
    For vehicles with EcoBoost engines, to
    provide improved performance, we
    recommend premium fuel for severe duty
    usage such as trailer tow.
    Do not use any fuel other than those
    recommended because they could lead to
    engine damage that may not be covered
    by the vehicle Warranty.
    Note:
    Use of any fuel other than those
    recommended can impair the emission
    control system and cause a loss of vehicle
    performance.
    Do not use:
    • Diesel fuel.
    • Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.
    • Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
    or E85 fuel.
    • Fuels containing methanol.
    • Fuels containing metallic-based
    additives, including manganese-based
    compounds. •
    Fuels containing the octane booster
    additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
    manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
    • Leaded fuel (using leaded fuel is
    prohibited by law).
    The use of fuels with metallic compounds
    such as methylcyclopentadienyl
    manganese tricarbonyl (commonly known
    as MMT), which is a manganese-based
    fuel additive, will impair engine
    performance and affect the emission
    control system.
    Do not be concerned if the engine
    sometimes knocks lightly.  However, if the
    engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
    the recommended octane rating, contact
    an authorized dealer to prevent any engine
    damage.
    FUEL FILLER FUNNEL
    LOCATION
    The fuel filler funnel is under the luggage
    compartment floor covering.

    RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
    Running out of fuel can cause damage not
    covered by the vehicle Warranty.
    If your vehicle runs out of fuel:
    •
    Add a minimum of 1.3 gal (5 L) of fuel
    to restart the engine. If your vehicle is
    out of fuel and on a steep slope, more
    fuel may be required.
    • You may need to switch the ignition
    from off to on several times after
    refueling to allow the fuel system to
    pump the fuel from the tank to the
    engine.  When restarting, cranking time
    takes a few seconds longer than
    normal.
    156
    Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Fuel and RefuelingE185369  E197588   
    						
    							Filling a Portable Fuel Container
    Use the following guidelines to avoid
    electrostatic charge build-up when filling
    an ungrounded fuel container:
    •
    Only use an approved fuel container to
    transfer fuel to your vehicle.  Place the
    container on the ground when filling it.
    • Do not fill a fuel container when it is
    inside your vehicle (including the cargo
    area).
    • Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
    with the fuel container when filling it.
    • Do not use a device that holds the fuel
    pump nozzle lever in the fill position.
    Adding Fuel From a Portable Fuel
    Container WARNINGS
    Do not insert the nozzle of a fuel
    container or an aftermarket funnel
    into the fuel system filler neck. This
    may damage the fuel system filler neck or
    its seal and cause fuel to run onto the
    ground. Do not try to pry open or push open
    the capless fuel system with foreign
    objects. This could damage the fuel
    system and its seal and cause injury to you
    or others. Do not dispose of fuel in the
    household refuse or the public
    sewage system. Use an authorized
    waste disposal facility. When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from
    a fuel container, use the plastic funnel
    included with your vehicle.  See Fuel Filler
    Funnel Location (page 154).
    Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as
    they will not work with the capless fuel
    system and can damage it.
    When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from
    a fuel container, do the following: 1.
    Fully open the fuel tank filler door until
    it engages and remove the fuel tank
    filler cap.
    Note: Capless fuel systems do not have a
    fuel tank filler cap.
    2. Fully insert the plastic funnel into the fuel tank filler pipe opening. 3. Add fuel to your vehicle from the fuel
    container.
    4. Remove the plastic funnel from the fuel tank filler pipe opening.
    5. Replace the fuel tank filler cap and close the fuel tank filler door.
    6. Clean the plastic funnel and place it back in your vehicle or properly dispose
    of it.
    Note: Extra funnels can be purchased from
    an authorized dealer if you choose to
    dispose of the funnel.
    REFUELING WARNINGS
    Do not overfill the fuel tank. The
    pressure in an overfilled tank may
    cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
    and fire.
