The jack, spare tire, jack handle, and lug nut wrench are under the carpeted floor panel in the rear of the vehicle. If the 3rd row seat is stowed in the floor, you will need to unstow it to access the spare tire and jack. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE In addition to your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Ford provides new vehicle owners with a complimentary roadside assistance program. This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for three years or 36,000 miles (60,000 km). It covers changing a flat tire, jump starts, limited fuel delivery, lock-out assistance, and towing of your vehicle. United States (800) 241-3673 Canada (800) 665-2006 POWER SIDE MIRRORS Rotate the control clockwise to adjust the right mirror and counterclockwise to adjust the left mirror. Move the control in the direction you wish to tilt the mirror. Rotate the control to the center position to lock the mirrors in place. ADJUSTABLE PEDALS (IF EQUIPPED) Front Passenger Fold Flat Seat Back The front passenger seat back can be folded down to a horizontal position to allow room for a long load. Ensure that the seat is in the rearmost position and the head restraint is fully down, prior to pulling the strap located on the back of the seat back. Adjusting 2nd Row Bucket and Bench Seats Lift the side handle to adjust the seat back. Using the same control will fold the seat back flat. Lifting the control (if equipped) located underneath the seat cushion will adjust the seat forward or backward. Accessing the 3rd Row Seats Ensure that the 2nd row seat adjustable head restraints (if equipped) are in the full down position and no objects such as books, purses, or briefcases are on the floor in front of the 2nd row seats before folding them down. Place the front row seat in a forward position to allow the 2nd row seat to be fully "tumbled." Lift the handle once to fold the seat back flat. Lift the same handle a second time to "tumble" the seat forward to allow access to the 3rd row seat. Stowing the 3rd Row Bench or Split Bench Seat in Tub Move the adjustable head restraint (if equipped) fully down. Ensure that the stowage tub is clear of objects prior to cycling. From the rear of the vehicle, fold the seat back by pulling and holding the number 1 strap while pushing the seat back forward. Release the strap after the seat back starts rotating forward. Release the cushion latches by pulling the number 2 strap while pulling on the long strap located on the seat back, to rotate the seat all the way into the tub in the floor. FUSES If your electrical components aren't working properly, a fuse may have blown. Please consult your Owner's Guide. The accelerator and brake pedal should only be adjusted when the vehicle is stopped and the gearshift is in the P (Park) position. Press the top of the control to adjust the pedals away from you, or press the bottom of the control to adjust the pedals toward you. UNDERSTANDING THE CVT The Continuously Variable Transaxle (CVT) is a fully automatic transmission that electronically monitors vehicle system inputs/outputs and driver demands to select the desired drive ratio. Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, the CVT continually adjusts the optimum overall drive ratio between engine and drive wheels for all operating conditions. As traditional automatic transmissions shift up or down in gears, the shifting in gear ratios is noticeable by increasing and decreasing engine RPM, which causes a slight energy loss as the gears change. The gear changes can be felt by the driver. With the CVT, there is no energy transfer loss from shifting because there is no gear shifting up or down. Accelerating up to vehicle operating speed is smooth and continuous, uninterrupted by gear shifting. The same holds true for coasting down to idle: smooth and continuous. Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, the CVT offers more responsive performance and increased fuel economy. The use of fluids other than the recommended fluid could seriously damage internal transmission components. Please consult your Owner's Guide. REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM Your vehicle is equipped with a remote entry system which allows you to lock or unlock the doors. It also allows you to activate a panic alarm with the key in the 1 (LOCK) or 2 (ACC) position. The remote entry system can also control the memory seat/power mirrors/adjustable pedals feature (if equipped). Please consult your Owner's Guide. 2006 FREESTYLE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (IF EQUIPPED) The Universal Garage Door Opener on the driver's visor provides a convenient way to replace up to three handheld transmitters with a single device.

Please read your entire Owner's Guide carefully as you begin learning about your new vehicle and refer to the appropriate sections when questions arise. All information contained in this Quick Reference Guide was accurate at the time of duplication. We reserve the right to change features, operation and/or functionality of any vehicle specification at any time. Your Ford dealer is the best source for the most current information. For detailed operating and safety information, please consult your Owner's Guide. Safe operation of your Freestyle requires that your tires be properly inflated. The Ford recommended inflation pressure is found on the Tire Label or the Certification Label located near the front door latch on the driver's side. At least once a month and before long trips, inspect each tire and check the air pressure with a tire gauge. Don't forget the spare. Air pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. Inflate all tires to the inflation pressure recommended by Ford Motor Company. REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) MEMORY FEATURE (IF EQUIPPED) REAR WINDOW BUFFETING When one or both of your rear windows are fully open, you may experience a wind throb or buffeting noise. This is common among all vehicles and can be eliminated simply by lowering a front window two to three inches. This feature will allow you to set two positions for the driver's seat, power mirrors, and adjustable pedals (if equipped). Please consult your Owner's Guide. The Reverse Sensing System (RSS) sounds a tone to warn the driver of obstacles near the rear bumper when R (Reverse) is selected and the vehicle is moving at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The system is not effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects. In Track mode, pressing SEEK will scroll through all tracks on the disc. In Folder mode, pressing SEEK will scroll only through tracks within a selected folder. 6 CD Press MENU until SELECT HOUR or SELECT MINS is displayed.
