Ford Explorer: Roadside Emergencies / Fuel Shutoff
WARNING: If your vehicle has been involved in a crash, have the fuel system
checked. Failure to follow this instruction could result in fire, personal injury
or death.
Note: When you try to restart your vehicle after a fuel shutoff, the vehicle
makes sure that various systems are safe to restart. Once the vehicle determines
the systems are safe, then the vehicle allows you to restart.
Note: In the event that your vehicle does not restart after your third
attempt, contact a qualified technician.
The fuel pump shutoff stops the flow of fuel to the engine in the event of a
moderate to severe crash. Not every impact causes a shutoff.
Should your vehicle shut off after a crash, you may restart your vehicle.
If your vehicle has a key system:
- Switch off the ignition.
- Switch to start position.
- Switch off the ignition.
- Switch on the ignition to re-enable the fuel pump.
- If the vehicle does not start, repeat steps 1 through 4.
If your vehicle has a push button start system:
- Press START/STOP to switch off your vehicle.
- Press the brake pedal and START/STOP to switch on your vehicle.
- Remove your foot from the brake pedal and press START/STOP to switch
off your vehicle.
- You can attempt to start the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal and
START/STOP, or press START/STOP without pressing the brake pedal.
- If the vehicle does not start, repeat steps 1 through 4.
Note: The hazard flashers operate when the ignition is in any position,
or if the key is not in the ignition. If used when the vehicle is not running, the
battery loses charge...
