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.

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 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, accident and

injury. We strongly recommend that you use extreme caution when using any device or feature 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 handheld device while driving and that you comply with all applicable laws.

INSTALLING CHILD SEATS

WARNINGS

Use an approved child seat to secure children less than 59 inches (150 centimetres) tall in the rear seat.

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

Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you are installing a child seat.

Do not modify child seats in any way.

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

Do not leave unattended children in your vehicle.

WARNINGS

If your vehicle has been involved in a collision, have the child seats checked by an authorised dealer.

Note: Mandatory use of child seats varies from country to country.

Only child seats certified to ECE-R44.03 (or later) have been tested and approved for use in your vehicle. A choice of these are available from an authorised dealer.

Child Seats for Different Mass Groups

Use the correct child seat as follows:

Baby Safety Seat

Secure children that weigh less than 29 pounds (13 kilogrammes) in a rearward facing baby safety seat (Group 0+) on the rear seat.

Child Safety

Page 17

Child Safety Seat

Secure children that weigh between 29 and 40 pounds (13 and 18 kilogrammes) in a child safety seat (Group 1) on the rear seat.

Booster Seats

WARNINGS

Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with only the lap strap of the seat belt.

Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with a seat belt that is slack or twisted.

Do not put the seat belt under your child’s arm or behind their back.

Do not use pillows, books or towels to boost your child’s height.

Make sure that your children sit in an upright position.

Note: When using a child seat on a rear seat, make sure that the child seat rests tightly against your vehicle seat. It may be necessary to lift or remove the head restraint. See Head Restraints (page 76).

Booster Seat (Group 2)

Secure children that weigh more than 33 pounds (15 kilogrammes) but are less than 59 inches (150 centimetres) tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion.

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 seat belt over the centre of your child’s shoulder and the lap strap tightly across their hips.

Booster Cushion (Group 3)

Child Safety

Page 18

ISOFIX Anchor Points

WARNING

Use an anti-rotation device when using the ISOFIX system. We recommend the use of a top tether

or support leg.

Note: When you are purchasing an ISOFIX seat, make sure that you know the correct mass group and ISOFIX size class for the intended seating locations. See Child Seat Positioning (page 16).

Your vehicle has ISOFIX anchor points that accommodate universally approved ISOFIX child seats.

The ISOFIX system comprises two rigid attachment arms on the child seat that attach to anchor points on the outboard rear seats, where the cushion and backrest meet. Tether anchor points are located behind the outboard rear seats for child seats with a top tether.

Top Tether Anchor Points

Attaching a Child Seat With Top Tethers

WARNINGS

Do not attach a tether strap to anything other than the correct tether anchor point.

Make sure that the top tether strap is not slack or twisted and is properly located on the anchor point.

Note: Where applicable, remove the luggage cover to ease installation. See Luggage Covers (page 114).

1. Route the tether strap to the anchor point.

2. Push the child seat back firmly to engage the ISOFIX lower anchor points.

3. Tighten the tether strap in line with the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS

See an authorised dealer for the latest details relating to our recommended child seats.

Child Safety

Page 19

WARNINGS

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child seat 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 seat belt, make sure that the seat 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 76).

Note: When using a child seat on a front seat, always adjust the front passenger's seat to its fully rearward position. If it proves difficult to tighten the lap section of the seat belt without slack remaining, adjust the seatback to the fully upright position and raise the height of the seat. See Seats (page 76).

Child Safety

Page 22

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS

WARNINGS

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

if you do not hear a click.

Make sure that your seat belt is securely stored away and is not outside your vehicle when closing the

door.

Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you pull it sharply or if your vehicle is on a slope.

Press the red button on the buckle to release the belt. Let it retract completely and smoothly.

Note: When not in use, place the seat belts in to the slots on the outboard trim.

Using Seat Belts During Pregnancy

WARNING

Position the seat belt correctly for your safety and that of your unborn child. Do not use only the lap strap

or the shoulder strap.

Seat Belts

Page 23

Pregnant women should always wear their seat belt. The lap belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt should be positioned low across the hips below the belly and worn as tight as comfort will allow. The shoulder belt should be positioned to cross the middle of the shoulder and the centre of the chest.

SEAT BELT MINDER

WARNING

The system will only provide protection when you use the seat belt correctly.

The warning lamp illuminates and an audible warning will sound when the following conditions have been met:

• The front seat belts have not been fastened.

• Your vehicle exceeds a relatively low speed.

It will also illuminate when a front seat belt is unfastened when your vehicle is moving.

If you do not fasten your seat belt both the audible and visual warnings will switch off automatically after approximately five minutes.

Turning the Seat Belt Minder Off

See an authorised dealer.

Seat Belts

Page 24

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS

Do not modify the front of your vehicle in any way. This could adversely affect deployment of the

airbags.

Original text according to ECE R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on

a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!

Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself and the

steering wheel. Only when you use the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page 76).

Have repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column, seats, airbags and

seat belts carried out by an authorised dealer.

Keep the areas in front of the airbags

free from obstruction. Do not affix

anything to or over the airbag covers.

Do not puncture the seat with pins,

needles or other pointed objects.

This could cause damage and adversely affect deployment of the airbags.

Use seat covers designed for seats

with side airbags. Have these fitted

by an authorised dealer.

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

Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a damp cloth.

DRIVER AIRBAG

The airbag will deploy during significant frontal or near-frontal collisions. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupant, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.

PASSENGER AIRBAG

Supplementary Restraints System

Page 25

The airbag will deploy during significant frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupant, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.

Switching the Passenger's Airbag Off

WARNING

You must switch the airbag off when using a rearward facing child seat on the front seat.

Switch offA Switch onB

Turn the switch to position A.

When you switch the ignition on, check that the airbag deactivation warning lamp illuminates.

Switching the Passenger's Airbag On

WARNING

You must switch the airbag on when you are not using a child seat on the front seat.

Turn the switch to position B.

SIDE AIRBAGS

WARNING

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

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

Supplementary Restraints System

Page 26

KNEE AIRBAG

WARNING

Do not attempt to open the airbag

cover.

The airbag will deploy during frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing a cushion between the driver’s knees and the steering column. During overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the knee airbag will not deploy.

For item location: See At a Glance (page

8).

Note: The airbag has a lower deployment threshold than the front airbags. During a minor collision, it is possible that only the knee airbag will deploy.

SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS

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

The curtain 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.

Supplementary Restraints System

Page 27

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES

Note: Changes or modifications not

expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet (10 metres). A decrease in operating range could be caused by:

• weather conditions

• nearby radio towers

• structures around your vehicle

• other vehicles parked next to your

vehicle.

The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by other short distance radio transmissions (e.g. amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm systems). If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.

Note: Make sure your vehicle is locked before leaving it unattended.

Note: If you are in range, the remote control will operate if you press any button unintentionally.

REMOTE CONTROL

You can program a maximum of eight remote controls to your vehicle. This includes any that were supplied with your vehicle. The remote controls must remain inside your vehicle during the programming procedure. Fasten the front seat belts and close all doors to make sure that conflicting chimes do not sound during programming.

Programming a New Remote Control

1. Turn the ignition key from position 0 to position II four times within six seconds.

2. Turn the ignition to position 0. A tone sounds to indicate that it is now possible to program a remote control.

3. Press any button on a new remote control within 10 seconds. A tone will sound as confirmation.

4. Repeat step three within 10 seconds for each new remote control. Do not remove the key from the ignition when pressing the button on the remote control.

5. Switch the ignition back on (position II) or wait for 10 seconds without programming another remote control to end the key programming. Only the remote controls which you have just programmed are now able to lock and unlock your vehicle.

Reprogramming the Unlocking Function

Note: When you press the unlock button

either all the doors are unlocked or only the driver’s door and the tailgate are unlocked. Pressing the unlock button again unlocks all the doors.

Press and hold the unlock and lock buttons on the remote control simultaneously for at least four seconds with the ignition off. The direction indicators will flash twice to confirm the change.

To return to the original unlocking function, repeat the process.

Keys and Remote Controls

Changing the Remote Control Battery

KEYLESS ENTRY

General Information

WARNING

The system may not function if the key is close to metal objects or electronic devices such as mobile

phones.

The system will not function if:

• Your vehicle battery has no charge.

• The passive key frequencies are

jammed.

• The passive key battery is flat.

Note: If the system does not function, you will need to use the key blade to lock and unlock your vehicle.

The system allows you to operate your vehicle without the use of a key or remote control.

Passive locking and unlocking requires a valid passive key to be located within one of the three external detection ranges. These are located approximately five feet (one and a half metres) from the front door handles and the liftgate.

Passive Key

Your vehicle can be locked and unlocked with the passive key. You can use the passive key as a remote control. See

Locking and Unlocking (page 29).

Locking Your Vehicle

WARNING

Your vehicle does not lock itself automatically. If you do not press a locking button your vehicle will

remain unlocked.

Locking buttons are located on each of the front doors.

For central locking and to arm the alarm, press a locking button once.

For double locking and to arm the alarm, press a locking button twice within three seconds.

Note: Your vehicle will remain locked for approximately three seconds. When the delay period is over, you can open the doors again, provided the passive key is within the respective detection range.

Two short flashes of the direction indicators confirms that all the doors and the liftgate have been locked and that the alarm has been armed.

Liftgate

Note: The liftgate cannot be closed and

will pop back up if the passive key is located inside the luggage compartment with the doors locked.

Locks

Page 35

Note: If a second valid passive key is

located within the liftgate detection range, the liftgate can be closed.

Unlocking Your Vehicle

Note: When your vehicle remains locked

for longer than three days, the system will enter an energy-saving mode. This is to prevent your vehicle battery running out of charge. When your vehicle is unlocked while in this mode, the reaction time of the system may be a little longer than normal. To exit the energy-saving mode, unlock your vehicle.

Press a locking button once.

Note: A valid passive key must be located within the detection range of that door.

One long flash of the direction indicators confirms that all the doors and the liftgate have been unlocked and that the alarm has been disarmed.

Unlocking Only the Driver's Door

If the unlocking function is reprogrammed so that only the driver’s door and the liftgate are unlocked. See Remote Control (page 25). Note the following:

If the driver’s door is the first door which is opened, the other doors will remain locked. All the other doors can be unlocked from inside your vehicle by pressing the unlock button on the instrument panel. For item location: See At a Glance (page 8). Doors can be unlocked individually by pulling the interior door handles on those doors.

If the front passenger's door is the first door which is opened, all the doors and the liftgate will be unlocked.

Disabled Keys

Any keys left inside your vehicle interior when it is locked will be disabled.

You cannot use a disabled key to switch the ignition on or start the engine.

You must enable all passive keys again in order to use them.

To enable all your passive keys, unlock your vehicle using a passive key or the remote control unlocking function.

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

Principle of Operation

The engine immobiliser is a theft protection system that prevents someone from starting the engine with an incorrectly coded key.

Coded Keys

Note: Do not shield your keys with metal

objects. This may prevent the receiver from recognising your key as a valid one.

Note: Have all of your remaining keys erased and recoded if you lose a key. Ask an authorised dealer for further information. Have replacement keys recoded together with your existing keys.

If you lose a key, you can obtain a replacement from an authroised dealer. If possible, provide them with the key number from the tag provided with the original keys. You can also obtain additional keys from an authroised dealer.

Arming the Engine Immobiliser

After you switch the ignition off the engine immobiliser will arm automatically after a short time.

Disarming the Engine Immobiliser

The engine immobiliser is disarmed automatically when you switch the ignition on with a correctly coded key.

When the indicator stays on, flashes for approximately one minute or repeatedly at irregular intervals, the key has not been recognised. Remove the key and try again.

If you are unable to start the engine with a correctly coded key, this indicates a malfunction. Have the immobiliser checked immediately.

ANTI-THEFT ALARM

Alarm System

Your vehicle may have one of the following alarm systems:

• Perimeter alarm.

• Perimeter alarm with interior sensors.

• Category one alarm with interior

sensors and battery back-up sounder.

Perimeter Alarm

The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against unauthorised access to your vehicle through the doors and the bonnet. It also protects the audio unit.

Interior Sensors

WARNINGS

Do not cover up the interior lamp unit sensors.

Do not arm the alarm with full guard if passengers, animals or other moving objects are inside your

vehicle.

The sensors act as a deterrent against unauthorised intrusion by sensing any movement within your vehicle.

Security

Page 38

Battery Back-up Sounder

The battery back-up sounder is an extra alarm system which will sound a siren when the alarm is triggered. When you lock your vehicle the system is armed. The sounder has its own battery and will sound an alarm siren even if someone disconnects your vehicle battery or the battery back-up sounder itself.

Triggering the Alarm

Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any of the following ways:

• If someone opens a door, the liftgate or the hood without a valid key or remote control.

• If someone removes the audio or navigation system.

• If you switch the ignition on without a valid key.

• If the interior sensors detect movement within your vehicle.

• On vehicles with a battery back-up sounder, if someone disconnects your vehicle battery or the battery back-up sounder itself.

If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn will sound for 30 seconds and the hazard warning flasher will flash for five minutes.

Any further attempts to perform one of the above will trigger the alarm again.

Full and Reduced Guard

Full Guard

Full guard is the standard setting. In full guard, the interior sensors are on

when you arm the alarm.

Note: This may result in false alarms if animals or moving objects are inside your vehicle.

Reduced Guard

In reduced guard, the interior sensors are off when you arm the alarm.

Note: You can set the alarm to reduced guard for the current ignition cycle only. The alarm will reset to full guard the next time you switch the ignition on.

Ask on Exit

You can set the information display to ask you each time which level of guard you wish to set.

If you select Ask on Exit, the message Reduced guard? appears in the information display each time you switch the ignition off. See Information Messages (page 62).

If you wish to arm the alarm with reduced guard, press the OK button when this message appears.

If you wish to arm the alarm with full guard, leave your vehicle without pressing the OK button.

Selecting Full or Reduced Guard

Note: Selecting Reduced does not set the

alarm permanently to reduced guard. It sets it to reduced guard only for the current ignition cycle. If you regularly set the alarm to reduced guard, select Ask on Exit.

You can select full or reduced guard using the information display. See General

Information (page 58).

Arming the Alarm

To arm the alarm, lock your vehicle. See Locks (page 29).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside Air

Keep the air intakes in front of the windscreen free from obstruction (snow, leaves etc.) to allow the climate control system to function effectively.

Recirculated Air

WARNING

Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to mist up. If the windows mist up, follow the settings

for demisting the windscreen.

The air currently in the passenger's compartment will be recirculated. Outside air will not enter your vehicle.

Heating

Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant.

Air Conditioning

Note: The air conditioning operates only

when the temperature is above 39°F (4°C). Note: If you use the air conditioning, the

fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher.

Air is directed through the evaporator where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted from the air to help keep the windows free of mist. The resulting condensation is directed to the outside of your vehicle and it is therefore normal if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle.

General Information on Controlling the Interior Climate

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the Interior

Direct the air toward your feet. In cold or humid weather conditions, direct some of the air toward the windscreen and the door windows.

Cooling the Interior

Direct the air toward your face.

Climate Control

Page 74

Temperature Control

You can set the temperature between 61°F (16°C) and 82°F (28°C) in steps of 1°F (0.5°C). In position low, the system will switch to permanent cooling. In position high, the system will switch to permanent heating.

Note: If you select either position low or high, the system will not regulate a stable temperature.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE

General Hints

Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may

cause the windows to fog up. Note: A small amount of air may be felt

from the footwell air vents regardless of the air distribution setting.

Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside your vehicle, do not drive with the system switched off or with recirculated air always switched on.

Note: Do not place objects under the front seats as this may interfere with the airflow to the rear seats.

Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of the windscreen.

Manual Climate Control

Note: To reduce fogging of the windscreen

during humid weather, adjust the air distribution control to the windscreen air vents position. Increase the temperature and fan speed to improve clearing, if required.

Automatic Climate Control

Note: Do not adjust the settings when your

vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The system automatically adjusts to the previously stored settings. For the system to function efficiently, the instrument panel and side air vents should be fully open.

Note: At low ambient temperatures with AUTO selected, the air stream is directed toward the windscreen and side windows for as long as the engine remains cold.

Note: When the system is switched off, outside air is prevented from entering your vehicle.

Note: When the system is in AUTO mode and the interior and exterior temperatures are high, the system automatically selects recirculated air to maximize cooling of the interior. When the selected air temperature is reached, the system automatically selects outside air.

Note: When you select windscreen defrosting and defogging, the instrument panel and footwell level functions automatically switch off and air conditioning switches on. Outside air flows into your vehicle.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION

WARNINGS

Do not recline the seatback too far as this can cause the occupant to slide under the seat belt, resulting in

serious injury in the event of a collision.

Sitting improperly, out of position or with the seatback reclined too far,

can result in serious injury or death in the event of a collision. Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor.

Do not place objects higher than the

seatback to reduce the risk of serious

injury in the event of a collision or during heavy braking.

When you use them properly, the seat, head restraint, seat belt and airbags will provide optimum protection in the event of a collision.

We recommend that you follow these guidelines:

• Sit in an upright position with the base

of your spine as far back as possible.

• Do not recline the seatback more than

30 degrees.

• Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of your head and as far forward as possible. Make sure that you remain comfortable.

• Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We recommend a minimum of 10 inches (25 centimetres) between your breastbone and the airbag cover.

• Hold the steering wheel with your arms slightly bent.

• Bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully.

• Position the shoulder strap of the seat belt over the centre of your shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.

Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can maintain full control of your vehicle.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

WARNING

Fully adjust the head restraint before you sit in or operate your vehicle. This

will help minimise the risk of neck injury in the event of a collision. Do not adjust the head restraint when your vehicle is moving.

GENERAL INFORMATION

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics for approximately 5 miles (8 kilometres) after you reconnect it. This is because the engine management system must realign itself with the engine. You can disregard any unusual driving characteristics during this period.

WARNINGS

Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very high

temperatures in the engine and exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or other damage.

Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle

on dry grass or other dry ground

cover. The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.

Do not start the engine in a closed

garage or in other enclosed areas.

Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door before you start the engine.

If you smell exhaust fumes inside

your vehicle, have your vehicle

checked by your authorised dealer immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust fumes.

The powertrain control system meets all Canadian interference-causing equipment standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field or radio noise.

When you start the engine, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal before and during operation. Only use the accelerator pedal when you have difficulty starting the engine.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER

The filter forms part of the emissions reduction system on your vehicle. It filters harmful diesel particulates (soot) from the exhaust gas.

Regeneration

WARNINGS

Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other

combustible materials. The regeneration process creates very high exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during and after regeneration and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.

Avoid running out of fuel.

Note: During regeneration at low speed or engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic odour and could notice a clicking metallic sound. This is due to the high temperatures reached during regeneration and is normal.

Note: After you have switched your engine off the fans may continue to run for a short period of time.

A normal filter requires periodic replacement. The diesel particulate filter on your vehicle requires periodic regeneration to maintain its correct function. Your vehicle will carry out this process automatically.

If your journeys meet one of the following conditions:

• You drive only short distances.

• You frequently switch the ignition on

and off.

• Your journeys contain a high level of

acceleration and deceleration.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Page 90

You must carry out occasional trips with the following conditions to assist the regeneration process:

• Drive your vehicle in more favourable conditions, which you will find at higher vehicle speeds in normal driving, on a main road or motorway for a minimum of 20 minutes. This drive may include short stops that will not affect the regeneration process.

• Avoid prolonged idling and always observe speed limits and road conditions.

• Do not switch the ignition off.

• Select a suitable gear to ideally

maintain engine speed between 1500 and 3000 RPM.

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Vehicles With a Turbocharger

WARNING

Do not switch the engine off when it is running at high speed. If you do, the

turbocharger will continue running after the engine oil pressure has dropped to zero. This will lead to premature turbocharger bearing wear.

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until the engine has reached idle speed and then switch it off.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Page 91

START-STOP

Note: For vehicles with start-stop the

battery requirement is different. It must be replaced by one of exactly the same specification as the original.

The system reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by shutting down the engine when your vehicle is idling, for example at traffic lights. The engine will automatically restart when you press the clutch pedal or when required by a vehicle system, for example to recharge the battery.

To obtain maximum benefit from the system, move the transmission selector lever to neutral and release the clutch pedal during any stop of longer than three seconds.

Using Start-Stop

WARNINGS

The engine may restart automatically if required by the system.

Switch the ignition off before opening the bonnet or carrying out any maintenance.

Always switch the ignition off before leaving your vehicle, as the system may have shut down the engine but

the ignition will still be live.

Note: The system only operates when the engine is warm and the outside temperature is between 32°F (0°C) and 86°F (30°C).

Note: If you stall the engine, and then depress the clutch pedal within a short period of time, the system will automatically restart the engine.

Note: The start-stop indicator will illuminate green when the engine shuts down. See Warning L amps and Indicators (page 53).

Note: When the start-stop indicator flashes amber, move the transmission selector lever to neutral or depress the clutch pedal.

Note: If the system detects a malfunction, it will switch off. Have the system checked by an authorised dealer.

Note: When you switch the system off, the switch will illuminate.

Note: The system automatically turns on every time you switch the ignition on. To switch the system off, press the switch in the instrument panel. The system will only be switched off for the current ignition cycle. To turn it on, press the switch again. For item location See At a Glance (page 8).

To Stop the Engine

1. Stop your vehicle.

2. Move the transmission selector lever to neutral.

3. Release the clutch pedal.

4. Release the accelerator pedal.

The system may not shut down the engine under certain conditions, for example:

• To maintain the interior climate.

• Low battery voltage.

• The outside temperature is too low or

too high.

• The driver's door has been opened.

• Low engine operating temperature.

• Low brake system vacuum.

• If a road speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) has

not been exceeded.

• The driver's seat belt has not been fastened.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS

Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray

and fire.

The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound

near the fuel filler door (Easy Fuel capless fuel system), do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury.

Automotive fuels can cause serious

injury or death if misused or

mishandled.

The flow of fuel through a fuel pump

nozzle can produce static electricity,

which can cause a fire if fuel is pumped into an ungrounded fuel container.

Fuel ethanol and petrol may contain

benzene, which is a cancer-causing

agent.

When refuelling always shut the

engine off and never allow sparks or

open flames near the filler neck. Never smoke while refuelling. Fuel vapour is extremely hazardous under certain conditions. Care should be taken to avoid inhaling excess fumes.

Observe the following guidelines when handling automotive fuel:

• Extinguish all smoking materials and

any open flames before refuelling your vehicle.

• Always turn off the vehicle before

refuelling.

• Automotive fuels can be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as petrol is highly toxic and if swallowed can cause death or permanent injury. If fuel is swallowed, call a doctor immediately, even if no symptoms are immediately apparent. The toxic effects of fuel may not be visible for hours.

• Avoid inhaling fuel vapours. Inhaling too much fuel vapour of any kind can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases, excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapour can cause serious illness and permanent injury.

• Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could lead to permanent injury.

• Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If fuel is splashed on the skin, clothing or both, promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapour causes skin irritation.

• Be particularly careful if you are taking “Antabuse” or other forms of disulfiram

for the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing petrol vapours, or skin contact could cause an adverse reaction. In sensitive individuals, serious personal injury or sickness may result. If fuel is splashed on the skin, promptly wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Consult a doctor immediately if you experience an adverse reaction.

FUEL QUALITY - PETROL

WARNINGS

Do not mix petrol with oil, diesel or other liquids. This could cause a chemical reaction.

Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with additives containing other

metallic compounds (e.g. manganese-based). They could damage the emission system.

Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel.

Note: We do not recommend the use of additional additives or other engine treatments for normal vehicle use.

Use minimum 95 octane unleaded petrol that meets the specification defined by EN 228 or the equivalent national specification.

Your vehicle is suitable for use with ethanol blends up to 10% (E5 and E10).

Long-Term Storage

Most petrol contains ethanol. We recommend that you fill the fuel tank with fuel that does not contain ethanol if you intend to store your vehicle for more than two months. Alternatively, we recommend that you seek advice from your dealer.

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL

WARNINGS

Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or

other liquids. This could cause a

chemical reaction.

Do not add kerosene, paraffin or

petrol to diesel. This could cause

damage to the fuel system.

WARNINGS

Use diesel that meets the specification defined by EN 590 or the relevant national specification.

Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel.

Note: We do not recommend the use of additional additives or other engine treatments for normal vehicle use.

Note: We do not recommend the use of additional additives to prevent fuel waxing.

Long-Term Storage

Most diesel fuels contain biodiesel. We recommend that you fill the fuel tank with fuel that does not contain biodiesel if you intend to store your vehicle for more than two months. Alternatively, we recommend that you seek advice from your dealer.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse effect on powertrain components.

If you have run out of fuel:

• You may need to cycle the ignition from off to on several times after refuelling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to the engine. On restarting, cranking time will take a few seconds longer than normal. With keyless ignition, just start the engine. Crank time will be longer than usual.

• Normally, adding 1 gallon (4.6 litres) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If your vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep slope, more than 1 gallon (4.6 litres) may be required.

Fuel and Refuelling

Page 95

Refilling With a Portable Fuel Container

WARNINGS

Do not insert the nozzle of portable fuel containers or aftermarket

funnels into the capless fuel system. This could damage the fuel system and its seal, and may cause fuel to run onto the ground instead of filling the tank, which could result in serious personal injury.

Do not try to pry open or push open

the capless fuel system with foreign

objects. This could damage the fuel system and its seal and cause injury to you or others.

Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels; they will not work with the capless fuel system and can damage it. The included funnel has been specially designed to work safely with your vehicle.

When filling your vehicle’s fuel tank from a portable fuel container, use the funnel included with your vehicle.

1. Locate the plastic funnel in the glove

box.

2. Slowly insert the funnel into the

capless fuel system.

3. Fill your vehicle with fuel from the

portable fuel container.

4. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorised dealer if you choose to dispose of the funnel.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

WARNING

Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other

combustible materials. The exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during use, and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.

Driving with a Catalytic Converter

WARNINGS

Avoid running out of fuel.

Do not crank the engine for long

periods.

Do not run the engine when a spark

plug lead is disconnected.

Do not push-start or tow-start your

vehicle. Use booster cables. See

Jump-Starting the Vehicle (page

122).

Do not switch the ignition off when

driving.

REFUELLING

WARNINGS

Do not attempt to start the engine if

you have filled the fuel tank with the

incorrect fuel. This could damage the engine. Have the system checked by an authorised dealer immediately.

Fuel and Refuelling

Page 96

WARNINGS

Do not use any kind of flames or heat near the fuel system. The fuel system is under pressure. There is a risk of

injury if the fuel system is leaking.

If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel filler flap briefly from a distance not

less than 8 inches (200 millimetres).

We recommend that you wait at least 10 seconds before removing the fuel pipe nozzle to allow any residual

fuel to drain into the fuel tank.

Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle stops the second time. Additional

fuel will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank which could lead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillage could be hazardous to other road users.

Do not remove the nozzle from its

fully inserted position during the

entire refuelling process.

Note: It is not possible to fully open the sliding door when the fuel filler flap is open.

Note: Your vehicle does not have a fuel filler cap.

1. Press the flap to open it. Open the flap

fully until it engages.

Note: When you insert the correct size fuel nozzle, a spring loaded inhibitor will open. This helps to avoid filling up with the wrong fuel.

2. Insert the fuel nozzle up to and including the first notch on the nozzle A. Keep it resting on the cover of the fuel pipe opening.

3. Hold the nozzle in position B during refilling. Holding the nozzle in position A may affect the flow of fuel and shut off the fuel nozzle before the fuel tank is full.

Fuel and Refuelling

Page 97

4. Operate the nozzle within the area shown.

5. Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to remove it.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

Note: The amount of usable fuel in the

empty reserve varies and should not be relied upon to increase driving range. When refuelling your vehicle after the fuel gauge indicates empty, you might not be able to refuel the full amount of the advertised capacity of the fuel tank due to the empty reserve still present in the tank.

The CO2 and fuel consumption figures are derived from laboratory tests according to Regulation (EC) 715/2007 and subsequent amendments are carried out by all vehicle manufacturers.

They are intended as a comparison between makes and models of vehicles. They are not intended to represent the real world fuel consumption you may get from your vehicle. Real world fuel consumption is governed by many factors including: driving style, high speed driving, stop-start driving, air conditioning usage, the accessories fitted, payload, towing, etc.

The advertised capacity is the indicated capacity and the empty reserve combined. Indicated capacity is the difference in the amount of fuel in a full tank and a tank when the fuel gauge indicates empty. Empty reserve is the amount of fuel in the tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.

Filling the Tank

For consistent results when filling the fuel tank:

• Switch the ignition off before fuelling. An inaccurate reading results if you leave the engine running.

• Use the same fill rate (low-medium-high) each time the tank is filled.

• Allow no more than two automatic shut-offs when filling.

Results are most accurate when the filling method is consistent.

Calculating Fuel Economy

Do not measure fuel economy during the first 1000 miles (1600 km) of driving (this is your engine’s running-in period). A more accurate measurement is obtained after 2000 - 3000 miles (3200 - 4800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel gauge readings are not accurate ways to measure fuel economy.

1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.

2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added.

Fuel and Refuelling

Page 98

3. After at least three to five tank fill ups, fill the fuel tank and record the current odometer reading.

4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer reading.

5. Calculate fuel economy by dividing miles travelled by gallons used (For Metric: Multiply litres used by 100, then divide by kilometres travelled).

Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving (city or motorway). This provides an accurate estimate of your vehicle’s fuel economy under current driving conditions. Additionally, keeping records during summer and winter show how temperature impacts fuel economy. In general, lower temperatures mean lower fuel economy.
