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 and wait 10 seconds.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.

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

Note: For vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, see the Diesel
supplement
for additional Fuel Pump Shut-off reset instructions.

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.

FUSES AND RELAYS

Fuses

If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.

Note: Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire
damage and could start a fire.
