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 it, 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 handheld 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 your vehicle.

Note: Some of the illustrations in this manual may be used for different models, so may appear different to you on your vehicle. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.

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 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.

B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Introduction

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, 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 SEATS

WARNINGS

Use an approved child seat to secure children less than 59 inches (150 centimeters) 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 crash, have the child seats checked by an authorized 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 authorized 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 kilograms) in a rearward facing baby safety seat (Group 0+) on the rear seat.

B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Child Safety

Child Safety Seat

Secure children that weigh between 29 and 40 pounds (13 and 18 kilograms) 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 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 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 the vehicle seat. It may be necessary to lift or remove the head restraint. See Head Restraints (page 83).

Booster Seat (Group 2)

Secure children that weigh more than 33 pounds (15 kilograms) but are less than 59 inches (150 centimeters) 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 safety belt over the center of your child’s shoulder and the lap strap tightly across their hips.

Booster Cushion (Group 3)

B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Child Safety

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 18).

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 122).

Note: You may need to raise or remove the head restraint to ease installation. See Head Restraints (page 83).

1. Route the tether strap under the head restraint 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 authorized dealer for the latest details relating to our recommended child seats.

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 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 83).

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 safety belt without slack remaining, adjust the seatback to the fully upright position and raise the height of the seat. See Seats (page 83).

Safety Belts

Using Safety Belts During Pregnancy

WARNING

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

or the shoulder strap.

Pregnant women should always wear their safety 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 center of the chest.

SAFETY BELT MINDER

WARNING

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

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

• The front safety belts have not been fastened.

• Your vehicle exceeds a relatively low speed.

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

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

Turning the Safety Belt Minder Off

See an authorized dealer.

Safety Belts

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS

Extreme Hazard! Never use a rearward facing child restraint on a

seat protected by an active airbag in front of it. Death or serious injury to the child can occur.

Do not modify the front of your

vehicle in any way. This could

adversely affect deployment of the airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

Wear a safety belt and keep

sufficient distance between yourself

and the steering wheel. Only when you use the safety belt correctly, can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page 83). Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

Repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column, seats, airbags and

safety belts must be carried out by an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

Keep the areas in front of the airbags

free from obstruction. Do not affix

anything to or over the airbag covers. In the event of a crash, hard objects could cause serious personal injury or death.

Do not puncture the seat with sharp

objects. This could damage and

adversely affect deployment of the airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

Use seat covers designed for seats

with side airbags. Have these fitted

by an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

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 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.

Supplementary Restraints System

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

DRIVER 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

9).

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

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.

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 ft (10 m).

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 safety 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 liftgate 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.
