Get Transmission Guide for Ford Edge SUV Second Generation (2015-2023)

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

WARNINGS

Always fully apply the parking brake

and make sure you shift into park (P).

Failure to follow this instruction

could result in personal injury or death.

Do not apply the brake pedal and

accelerator pedal simultaneously.

Applying both pedals simultaneously

for more than a few seconds will limit

engine performance, which may result in

difficulty maintaining speed in traffic and

could lead to serious injury.

Hold the brake pedal down when

moving the gearshift lever. If you do

not hold down the brake pedal, the

vehicle may move unexpectedly, resulting

in property damage, personal injury or

death.

Note: You may not be able to shift out of

park (P) unless the intelligent access key is

inside your vehicle.

Understanding the Positions of

Your Automatic Transmission

Putting your vehicle in or out of gear:

1. Fully press down on the brake pedal.

2. Move the gearshift lever into the

desired gear.

3. When you are finished driving, come to

a complete stop.

4. Move the gearshift lever and securely

latch it in park (P).

E142628

Park (P)

This position locks the transmission and

prevents the wheels from turning.

Reverse (R)

With the gearshift lever in reverse (R), your

vehicle moves backward. Always come to

a complete stop before shifting into and

out of reverse (R).

Neutral (N)

With the gearshift lever in neutral (N), your

vehicle can be started and is free to roll.

Hold the brake pedal down while in this

position.

Drive (D)

Drive (D) is the normal driving position for

the best fuel economy. The overdrive

function allows automatic upshifts and

downshifts through gears one through six.

Sport (S)

Moving the gearshift lever to sport (S):

• Provides additional grade (engine)

braking and extends lower gear

operation to enhance performance for

uphill climbs, hilly terrain or

mountainous areas. This increases

engine RPM during engine braking.

• Provides additional lower gear

operation through the automatic

transmission shift strategy.

• Gears are selected more quickly and

at higher engine speeds.

SelectShift Automatic™

Transmission

Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShift

Automatic transmission gearshift lever.

The SelectShift Automatic transmission

gives you the ability to change gears up or

down (without a clutch) as desired.

In order to prevent the engine from running

at too low an RPM, which may cause it to

stall, SelectShift still automatically makes

some downshifts if it has determined that

you have not downshifted in time.

Although SelectShift makes some

downshifts for you, it still allows you to

downshift at any time as long as the

SelectShift determines that damage will

not be caused to the engine from

over-revving.

Note: Engine damage may occur if you

maintain excessive engine revving without

shifting.

SelectShift does not automatically upshift,

even if the engine is approaching the RPM

limit. It must be shifted manually by

pressing the + button.

With your vehicle in drive (D), the paddle

shifters provide temporary manual control.

They allow you the ability to shift gears

quickly, without taking your hands off the

steering wheel.

You can achieve extensive manual control

by moving the gearshift lever to the sport

(S) position.

• Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.

• Pull the left paddle (–) to downshift.

E144821

The system determines when temporary

manual control is no longer in use and

returns to automatic control.

Upshift to the recommended shift speeds

according to the following chart:

Upshifts when accelerating (recom-

mended for best fuel economy)

Shift from:

15 mph (24 km/h)1 - 2

25 mph (40 km/h)2 - 3

40 mph (64 km/h)3 - 4

45 mph (72 km/h)4 - 5

50 mph (80 km/h)5 - 6

The instrument cluster displays your

currently selected gear.

Note: The system stays in manual control

until you make another shift selection (for

example, drive [D]).

Brake-Shift Interlock

WARNINGS

Do not drive your vehicle until you

verify that the stoplamps are

working.

When doing this procedure, you need

to take the transmission out of park

(P) which means your vehicle can

roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle

movement, always fully apply the parking

brake prior to doing this procedure. Use

wheels chocks if appropriate.

If the parking brake is fully released,

but the brake warning lamp remains

illuminated, the brakes may not be

working properly. Have your vehicle

checked as soon as possible.

Note: For some markets this feature will be

disabled.

Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift

interlock feature that prevents moving the

gearshift lever from park (P) when the

ignition is in the on position and the brake

pedal is not pressed.

If you cannot move the gearshift lever out

of park (P) position with the ignition in the

on position and the brake pedal pressed,

a malfunction may have occurred. It is

possible that a fuse has blown or your

vehicle’s brake lamps are not operating

properly. See Fuse Specification Chart

(page 253).

If the fuse is not blown and the brake

lamps are working properly, the following

procedure will allow you to move the

gearshift lever from park (P):

1. Remove the side panel on the right side

of the gearshift lever.

2. Locate the access hole.

3. Insert the screwdriver (or similar tool)

into the access hole and press the lever

foreword while pulling the gearshift

lever out of the park (P) position and

into the neutral (N) position.

4. Remove the tool and reinstall the

panel.

5. Start the vehicle and release the

parking brake.

Automatic Transmission Adaptive

Learning

This feature may increase durability and

provide consistent shift feel over the life

of your vehicle. A new vehicle or

transmission may have firm shifts, soft

shifts or both. This operation is considered

normal and does not affect function or

durability of the transmission. Over time,

the adaptive learning process fully updates

transmission operation.

If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud

or Snow

Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the engine

is not at normal operating temperature or

damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: Do not rock the vehicle for more than

a minute or damage to the transmission and

tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,

you may rock it out by shifting between

forward and reverse gears, stopping

between shifts in a steady pattern. Press

lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
