ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Ford. We
recommend that you take some time to
get to know your vehicle by reading this
manual. The more that you know about
your vehicle, the greater the safety and
pleasure you will get from driving it.

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving.

Note: This manual describes product
features and options available throughout
the range of available models, sometimes
even before they are generally available. It
may describe options not fitted to the
vehicle you have purchased.

Note: Some of the illustrations in this
manual may show features as used in
different models, so they may appear
different to you on your vehicle.

Note: Always use and operate your vehicle
in line with all applicable laws and
regulations.

Note: Pass on this manual when selling
your vehicle. It is an integral part of your
vehicle.

This manual may qualify the location of a
component as left-hand side or right-hand
side. The side is determined when facing
forward in the seat.

DATA RECORDING

A large number of electronic components
of your vehicle contain data storage
modules temporarily or permanently
storing technical data about the condition
of the vehicle, events and malfunctions.

In general, this technical information
documents the condition of parts,
modules, systems or the environment:

• Operating conditions of system
components (e.g. filling levels).

• Status messages of the vehicle and its
individual components (e.g. number of
wheel revolutions/rotational speed,
deceleration, lateral acceleration).

• Malfunctions and defects in important
system components (e.g. lighting and
brake system).

• Vehicle reactions in particular driving
situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag,
activation of the stability regulation
system).

• Environmental conditions (e.g.
temperature).

These data are exclusively technical and
help identification and correction of
malfunctions as well as optimisation of
vehicle functions. Motion profiles indicating
travelled routes cannot be created with
these data.

If services are used (e.g. repair works,
service processes, warranty cases, quality
assurance), employees of the service
network (including manufacturers) are
able to read out this technical information
from the event and malfunction data
storage modules using special diagnostic
devices. If required, you will receive further
information. After a malfunction has been
corrected, these data are deleted from the
malfunction storage module or they are
constantly overwritten.

When using the vehicle, situations may
occur in which these technical data related
to other information (accident report,
damages on the vehicle, witness
statements, etc.) may be associated with
a specific person - possibly, with the
assistance of an expert.

Introduction

Additional functions contractually agreed
upon with the client (e.g. vehicle location
in emergency cases) allow the
transmission of particular vehicle data
from the vehicle.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
RECOMMENDATION

Your vehicle has been built to the highest
standards using quality parts. We
recommend that you demand the use of
genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts
whenever your vehicle requires scheduled
maintenance or repair. You can clearly
identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts
by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or
Motorcraft branding on the parts or their
packaging.

Scheduled Maintenance and
Mechanical Repairs

One of the best ways for you to make sure
that your vehicle provides years of service
is to have it maintained in line with our
recommendations using parts that
conform to the specifications detailed in
this Owner’s Manual. Genuine Ford and
Motorcraft parts meet or exceed these
specifications.

Collision Repairs

We hope that you never experience a
collision, but accidents do happen. Genuine
Ford replacement collision parts meet our
stringent requirements for fit, finish,
structural integrity, corrosion protection
and dent resistance. During vehicle
development we validate these parts
deliver the intended level of protection as
a whole system. A great way to know for
sure you are getting this level of protection
is to use genuine Ford replacement
collision parts.

Warranty on Replacement Parts

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement
parts are the only replacement parts that
benefit from a Ford Warranty. Damage
caused to your vehicle as a result of the
failure of non-Ford parts may not be
covered by the Ford Warranty. For
additional information, refer to the terms
and conditions of the Ford Warranty.

SPECIAL NOTICES

WARNING

Do not use abrasives or chemicals
solvents on the tag.

We have installed the radio frequency
identifier (RFID) tag in your vehicle in
compliance with the government directives
under the MORTH final notification GSR
207 (E), dated 08 April 2013. Ford does not
in any way guarantee or warrant the
quality, contents, accuracy of the product
or data contained in the tag.

This tag is for the exclusive use of
government authorities or personnel
authorized by the government. The
responsibility of keeping and maintaining
the RFID tag is with the owner of the
vehicle.

Note: The tag is on the top left-hand side
of the windshield.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS
EQUIPMENT

Using mobile communications equipment
is becoming increasingly important in the
conduct of business and personal affairs.
However, you must not compromise your
own or others’ safety when using such
equipment. Mobile communications can
enhance personal safety and security when

8

Introduction

appropriately used, particularly in
emergency situations. Safety must be
paramount when using mobile
communications equipment to avoid
negating these benefits. Mobile
communication equipment includes, but
is not limited to, cellular phones, pagers,
portable email devices, text messaging
devices and portable two-way radios.

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving.

INSTALLING CHILD
RESTRAINTS

E133140

E68916

WARNINGS

Use an approved child restraint to
secure children less than 150 cm tall
in the rear seat.

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an air bag in front

of it!

Read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when you are fitting a
child restraint.

Do not modify child restraints in any
way.

WARNINGS

Do not hold a child on your lap when
the vehicle is moving.

Do not leave unattended children in
your vehicle.

If your vehicle has been involved in
an accident, have the child restraints
checked by an authorized dealer.

Note: Children should be properly
restrained in a rear seating position
whenever possible. When using a child
safety seat ensure that the rear seat back
is in the most upright position.

Child Restraints for Different Mass
Groups

Use the correct child restraint as follows:

Baby Safety Seat

E68918

Secure children that weigh less than 13 kg
in a rearward facing baby safety seat
(Group 0+) in the rear seat.

18

Figo (CDU) , E4B5 19A321 ZCA enIND, Edition date: 06/2015, Second Printing

Child Safety

Child Safety Seat

E68920

Secure children that weigh between
13–18 kg in a child safety seat (Group 1) in
the rear seat.

Booster Seats

WARNINGS

Do not install a booster seat or a

booster cushion with only the lap

strap of the safety belt.

Do not install a booster seat or a

booster cushion with a safety belt

that is slack or twisted.

Do not put the safety belt under your

child’s arm or behind its back.

Do not use pillows, books or towels

to boost your child’s height.

Make sure that your children sit in an

upright position.

Secure children that weigh more

than 15 kg but are less than 150 cm

tall in a booster seat or a booster
cushion.

Note: When using a child seat on a rear
seat, make sure that the child seat rests
tightly against the vehicle seat. It may be
necessary to lift or remove the head
restraint. See Head Restraints (page 72).

Booster Seat (Group 2)

E70710

We recommend that you use a booster
seat that combines a cushion with a
backrest instead of a booster cushion only.
The raised seating position will allow you
to position the shoulder strap of the adult
safety belt over the center of your child’s
shoulder and the lap strap tightly across
its hips.

Booster Cushion (Group 3)

E68924

CHILD RESTRAINT
POSITIONING

Child Safety

WARNINGS

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an air bag in front

of it!

When using a child seat with a
support leg, the support leg must
rest securely on the floor.

When using a child seat with a safety
belt, make sure that the safety belt
is not slack or twisted.

WARNINGS

The child seat must rest tightly
against the vehicle seat. It may be
necessary to lift or remove the head

restraint. See Head Restraints (page 72).

Note: When using a child seat on a front
seat, always adjust the front passenger seat
as far back as possible. If it proves difficult
to tighten the lap section of the seatbelt
without slack remaining, adjust the seat
backrest.

Child Safety

FASTENING THE SEATBELTS

WARNINGS

Insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear a distinct click. You have
not fastened the safety belt properly

if you do not hear a click.

Make sure that your safety belt is
securely stored and is not outside the
vehicle when closing the door.

Note: Fasten the safety belt only with the
vehicle at a standstill, and never when the
vehicle is moving. It may lock if you pull it
sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.

Always use the safety belts and child
restraint systems.

The upper belt strap should rest on the
shoulder, never over the neck. The lower
belt strap should be placed over the pelvic
area, never over the stomach.

Never use one belt for more than one
person. Make sure the belts are not twisted
or loose, nor obstructed by other
passengers or packages.

Do not recline the front seat backrests
excessively, as the safety belts only provide
maximum protection when the backrests
are in a nearly vertical position.

Retractable-inertial three-point safety
belts

Three-point safety belts are available with
the front seats and outboard position for
the rear seats. Keep the safety belt buckle
on the rear floor free from luggage or
objects.

Buckling the safety belt

Pull the belt with a steady movement to
avoid a block. Insert the tongue tab into
the buckle until you hear a click, and make
sure it is locked in place. To tighten the rear
center lap belt, pull the loose end through
the tongue until the belt is comfortably
adjusted around the hips.

E165534

Releasing the safety belt

Press the red button on the buckle, then
let the belt roll up smoothly and
completely.

your hips and low beneath your pregnant
abdomen. Position the shoulder strap
between your breasts, above and to the
side of your pregnant abdomen.

SEATBELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

Position the safety belt height

adjuster so that the belt rests across

the middle of your shoulder. Failure
to adjust the safety belt properly could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt
and increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so
the belt rests across the middle of your
shoulder.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS

Airbags do not inflate slowly or
gently, and the risk of injury from a
deploying airbag is the greatest close

to the trim covering the airbag module.

All occupants of your vehicle,
including the driver, should always

properly wear their safety belts, even
when an airbag supplemental restraint
system is provided. Failure to properly wear
your safety belt could seriously increase
the risk of injury or death.

Always transport children 12 years

old and under in the back seat and

always properly use appropriate
child restraints. Failure to follow this could
seriously increase the risk of injury or death.

Never place your arm over the airbag

module as a deploying airbag can

result in serious arm fractures or
other injuries.

Airbags can kill or injure a child in a

child seat. Never place a rear-facing

child seat in front of an active airbag.
If you must use a forward-facing child seat
in the front seat, move the seat upon which
the child seat is installed all the way back.

Do not attempt to service, repair, or

modify the airbag supplemental

restraint systems or its fuses as you
could be seriously injured or killed. Contact
your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

Several airbag system components

get hot after inflation. Do not touch

them after inflation as this may result
in serious injury.

If the airbag has deployed, the airbag

will not function again and must be

replaced immediately. If the airbag
is not replaced, the unrepaired area will
increase the risk of injury in a collision.

The airbags are a supplemental restraint
system and are designed to work with the
safety belts to help protect the driver and
front passenger from certain upper body
injuries. Airbags do not inflate slowly; there
is a risk of injury from a deploying airbag.

Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a
cloud of harmless powdery residue if an
airbag deploys. This is normal.

The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly
upon activation. After airbag deployment,
it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery
residue or smell the burnt propellant which
may irritate the skin and eyes, but none of
the residue is toxic.

While the system is designed to help
reduce serious injuries, contact with a
deploying airbag may also cause abrasions
or swelling. Temporary hearing loss is also
a possibility as a result of the noise
associated with a deploying airbag.
Because airbags must inflate rapidly and
with considerable force, there is the risk of
death or serious injuries such as fractures,
facial and eye injuries or internal injuries,
particularly to occupants who are not
properly restrained or are otherwise out of
position at the time of airbag deployment.
Thus, it is extremely important that
occupants be properly restrained as far
away from the airbag module as possible
while maintaining vehicle control.

Routine maintenance of the airbags is not
required.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER
AIRBAGS (If Equipped)

WARNING

Never place your arm or any objects
over an airbag module. Placing your

arm over a deploying airbag can
result in serious arm fractures or other
injuries. Objects placed on or over the
airbag inflation area may cause those
objects to be propelled by the airbag into
your face and torso causing serious injury.

E151127

The driver and front passenger airbags will
deploy during significant frontal and near
frontal crashes.

Proper Driver and Front Passenger
Seating Adjustment

To properly position yourself away from
the airbag:

• Move your seat to the rear as far as you

can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.

• Recline the seat slightly (one or two

degrees) from the upright position.

After all occupants have adjusted their
seats and put on safety belts, it is very
important that they continue to sit
properly. A properly seated occupant sits
upright, leaning against the seat back, and
centered on the seat cushion, with their
feet comfortably extended on the floor.
Sitting improperly can increase the chance
of injury in a crash event. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns
sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the
chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.

Children and Airbags

WARNING

Airbags can kill or injure a child in a
child seat. Never place a rear-facing

child seat in front of an active airbag.
If you must use a forward-facing child seat
in the front seat, move the seat upon which
the child seat is installed all the way back.

E142846

Children must always be properly
restrained. Accident statistics suggest that
children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seating positions than in the
front seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the risk of
injury in a crash.

SIDE AIRBAGS (If Equipped)

WARNING

Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by an authorized dealer.

E72658

The airbags are located inside the
seatback of the front seats. There is a label
attached to the side of the seatback to
indicate this.

The airbag will deploy during significant
lateral collisions. It might also deploy
during significant frontal collisions. The
airbag will not deploy in minor lateral and
frontal collisions, rear collisions, or
overturns.

SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS (If

Equipped)

E75004

The airbags are located over the front and
rear side windows.

The airbag will deploy during significant
lateral collisions. It will also deploy during
significant frontal angled collisions. The
curtain airbag will not deploy in minor
lateral and frontal collisions, rear collisions,
or overturns.

CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR (If Equipped)

WARNING

Modifying or adding equipment to
the front end of the vehicle (including

but not limited to frame, bumper,
front end body structure and tow hooks)
may affect the performance of the airbag
system, increasing the risk of injury. Do not
modify the front end of the vehicle.

Supplementary Restraints System

The restraints control module monitors
the readiness of the safety devices plus
the crash and occupant sensors. The
readiness of the safety system is indicated
by a warning indicator light in the
instrument cluster or by a backup tone if
the warning light is not working. Routine
maintenance of the airbag is not required.

A malfunction in the system is indicated
by one or more of the following:

The readiness light will not
illuminate immediately after the
ignition is turned on.

• The readiness light will either flash or
stay lit.

• A series of five beeps will be heard. The
tone pattern will repeat periodically
until the problem, the light or both are
repaired.

If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced at an authorized
dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the
system may not function properly in the
event of a crash.

The driver's safety belt pretensioner and
the front airbag supplemental restraint
system are designed to activate when the
vehicle sustains longitudinal deceleration
sufficient to cause the restraints control
module to deploy a safety device.

The fact that the driver's safety belt
pretensioner or front airbags did not
activate for both front seat occupants in
a crash does not mean that something is
wrong with the system. Rather, it means
the restraints control module determined
the accident conditions (crash severity,
belt usage) were not appropriate to
activate these safety devices.

• The front airbags activate only in
frontal and near-frontal crashes (not
rollovers, side impacts or rear impacts)
unless the crash causes sufficient
longitudinal deceleration.

• The design of the driver safety belt
pretensioner is to activate in frontal
and near-frontal crashes.

AIRBAG DISPOSAL

Contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Airbags must be disposed of by
qualified personnel.
