BOOSTER CUSHIONS

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 its

back.

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

E68924

Child safety

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS

E75531

Your vehicle has been equipped with ISOFIX attachments. Your Ford Dealer will be pleased to make them accessible.

The ISOFIX system consists of two rigid latching arms on the child seat, which attach to anchor points at the base of the vehicle seat back. When made available by your Ford Dealer, the two lower anchor points may be found in the rear seating rows and are labelled with a circular pictogram and the word ISOFIX.

The funnel guides enable the latching arms of an ISOFIX child seat to be easily and securely attached.

ISOFIX child seats not approved by Ford have not been validated by Ford, and neither the safety nor the suitability of such seats can be certified, whether installed using the ISOFIX system or the normal seat belts.

Attaching child safety seats with top tethers

E78299

WARNINGS

Attach the tether strap only to

the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor.

Ford does not recommend the

use of an ISOFIX system without the use of an anti-rotation device, such as a top tether anchor or support leg, correctly installed.

There is a risk of death or

serious injury when the manufacturers instructions are not followed properly or when the child restraint is modified in any way.

Child safety

A third anchor point has been provided for child seats that are equipped with a top tether, available for use in the forward facing configuration.

The top tether anchors in your vehicle are located on the floor of the luggage compartment.

The tether strap should be routed beneath the raised rear head restraint, to the anchor point on the floor of the luggage compartment. The anchor point is identified by a pictogram.

After installing the child safety seat, tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Child safety

CHILD SAFETY LOCKS

E78298

WARNING

When the child safety lock is activated, the door can only be

opened from outside.

Turn the key in the rear door in the direction of the arrow to activate the lock. To deactivate the lock turn the key in opposite direction to the arrow.

Child safety

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Airbags

E78293

WARNING

Do not modify the front of the vehicle in any way as this can

adversely affect airbag deployment.

Note:

A loud bang will be heard when an airbag deploys and it is normal to see a cloud of harmless powdery residue.

The airbag system comprises the following:

•

single-stage inflatable nylon bags (airbags) with gas generators

•

side airbags

•

curtain airbags

•

seat belt pretensioners

•

a seat belt reminder

•

crash sensors.

•

a warning lamp in the instrument panel.

•

an airbag deactivation switch

•

an airbag deactivation indicator in the instrument panel

•

an electronic control and diagnostic unit.

E72330

Occupant protection

WARNINGS

Repairs to either of the front

seat covers, the sensors attached to the seats as well as to the roof lining should only be carried out by properly trained technicians. Injuries may result if the side airbags are triggered inadvertently.

Do not block, obstruct or cover

the airbag because it may prevent proper deployment. Do not poke any sharp objects into the areas where airbags are fitted. This could damage the airbags.

Do not use any accessory seat

covers that are not specifically designed for seats with side airbags. These seat covers must be fitted by properly trained technicians.

E66553

WARNING

Always wear the seat belt and

keep sufficient distance between the driver and the steering wheel. Only when the seat belt is used properly, can it hold the body in a position which allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. There is a risk of injury when the airbag deploys.

The seat and back must be set correctly for the airbags to be optimally effective. See Sitting in the correct position (page 120).

This is the ideal seating position for the driver and front passenger and helps reduce the risk of injury from sitting too close to an inflating airbag.

E72325

Occupant protection

The front airbags activate during significant collisions which are either frontal or up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbags inflate within a few thousandths of a second. They will deflate on contact with the front occupants thus cushioning forward body movement.

E72326

During minor collisions as well as overturns and rear or side collisions, the front airbag system will not be activated.

E78294

WARNINGS

Repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column and airbag system should be carried out by properly trained technicians.

Always keep the areas in front

of the airbags free. Never affix anything to or over these areas.

These areas should only be wiped with a damp cloth, never with a wet cloth.

Side air bags

E72328

A label on the seatback indicates that side airbags are fitted. The side airbags are fitted on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats. In case of a severe lateral collision, the airbag on the side affected by the collision will be inflated.

The airbag will inflate between the door panel and occupant. Once the occupant’s body contacts the airbag, the propellant escapes, thereby cushioning the impact.

Occupant protection

The side airbags are not activated upon minor lateral collisions nor upon front or rear impacts.

Curtain air bags

E72329

Moulded badges in the A- and B-piller trims indicate that curtain air bags are fitted. The curtain airbags are fitted over the front and rear side windows inside the roof lining. In case of a severe lateral collision, the air bag on the side affected by the collision will be inflated.

The curtain air bags are not activated upon minor lateral collisions nor upon front or rear impacts.

Seat belts

WARNINGS

Use seat belts at all times.

Never use a seat belt for more than one person.

Avoid wearing thick clothing.

WARNINGS

The seat belts should fit tightly around the body.

Seat belt pretensioner

E72333

WARNING

The belt pretensioners must not

be removed. If the pretensioners are deployed during an accident, they must be replaced. Have the pretensioners serviced and disposed of by specially trained personnel only.

The restraint system, with belt pretensioners in the front seats, helps to reduce the risk of serious injury in a major frontal impact. During a serious crash the seat belts are pretensioned to help reduce slack in the belt. The safety belt pretensioner is a device which removes excess webbing from the safety belt system. When the safety belt pretensioner deploys, webbing from the lap and shoulder belt is tightened.

Occupant protection

The belt pretensioner is not triggered in any side, rear or minor frontal collisions.

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS

E74124

WARNING

Insert the tongue into the buckle

until a distinct click is heard, otherwise the seat belt will not be locked correctly.

Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if pulled sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.

To release the belt, press the red button on the buckle and let the belt rewind completely and smoothly.

E78079

When in use, the rear seat belts should be placed in the belt guides on the outboard seatbacks.

E74127

WARNING

In order to ensure that the

centre belt works properly, the rear seatback must be correctly engaged.

Make sure that each seat belt uses the correct buckle.

Occupant protection

E74125

The retractor for the rear centre seat belt is located in the roof. To fasten the seat belt, pull it out steadily and engage the smaller, black tongue in the smaller black buckle to the right of the centre seat.

E74126

Then pull the larger tongue across the lap and engage it in the larger buckle to the left of the centre seat.

To release the belt, first press the red button on the left buckle and let the belt rewind. If in constant use, the belt can be left buckled in the right-hand buckle. When not in use, or when folding or moving the rear seats, the belt should be released from the right-hand buckle by pressing the button on the side of the buckle and letting the belt rewind smoothly to the retractor in the roof.

E78080

Occupant protection

Fold the smaller seat belt tongue back and insert the larger belt tongue into the retaining slot as shown.

SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

E78081

Press the locking control on the height adjuster and move the pivot so that the belt rests across the centre of the shoulder.

Lifting the slider slightly while pressing the locking control makes it easier to release the locking mechanism.

USING SEAT BELTS DURING PREGNANCY

E68587

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.

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

DISABLING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG

WARNING

Make sure that the passenger

airbag is disabled when using a rearward facing child restraint on the front passenger seat.

E71313

Occupant protection

Fitting the passenger airbag deactivation switch

WARNING

If you need to fit a child restraint

on a seat protected by an operational airbag in front of it, have a passenger airbag deactivation switch fitted. Ask your dealer for further information.

Note:

The key switch is located in the glove compartment with an airbag deactivation lamp in the instrument panel.

If the airbag warning lamp illuminates or flashes when you are driving, this indicates a malfunction. See

Warning lamps and indicators

(page 90). Remove the child restraint and have the system checked immediately.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES

CAUTION

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:

You could unlock the doors if you press the buttons on the remote control unintentionally.

The operating range between your remote control and your vehicle varies depending on the environment.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL

A maximum of eight remote controls can be programmed (including the ones delivered with the vehicle). The remote controls must remain inside the vehicle during the programming procedure. Fasten the front seat belts and close all doors to ensure that conflicting chimes do not sound during programming.

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 your dealer for further information. Have replacement keys recoded together with your existing keys.

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

ARMING THE ENGINE IMMOBILISER

The engine immobiliser is armed automatically a short time after you have switched the ignition off.

The indicator in the instrument cluster will flash to confirm that the system is operating.

DISARMING THE ENGINE IMMOBILISER

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

The indicator in the instrument cluster will come on for approximately three seconds and then go out. If the indicator stays on for one minute or flashes for approximately one minute and then repeatedly at irregular intervals, your key has not been recognised. Remove the key and try again.

If you attempt to start the engine with an incorrectly coded key, you will need to wait for approximately 20 seconds before attempting to start the engine again with a correctly coded key.

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

Wipers and washers

WARNINGS

Replace the wiper blades as

soon as they begin to leave bands of water and smears or when they do not completely remove water from the windscreen. If the blades are not replaced, the rain sensor will continue to detect water on the windscreen. This will result in the wipers continuing to operate although the majority of the windscreen is dry.

In icy conditions, make sure that

the windscreen has been fully defrosted before selecting autowipers.

Switch off the autowipers

before entering a car wash.

Note:

The autowipers feature is intended for use during wet weather conditions only. It should not be selected in dry weather conditions as the system is very sensitive to objects such as dirt, mist or flies hitting the windscreen near the rain sensor. This may cause the wipers to wipe even though the screen is mostly dry.

Note:

The autowipers function should not be selected when it is snowing or foggy, or when the roads have been salted. In these weather conditions, select position A, C or D, if necessary.

When the lever is moved to position B with the ignition switched on, the wipers will cycle once regardless of whether the front screen is wet or dry.

Depending on the equipment fitted, when the ignition is switched on with the lever already in position B, the wipers will not cycle until water is detected on the windscreen. Alternatively, move the lever to another position and then back to B, or operate the washer.

Thereafter, the rain sensor will continuously measure the amount of water on the windscreen and adjust the speed of the front wipers automatically (single wipe, intermittent, normal or high speed wipe).

E71015

Low sensitivityA
