See Keyless starting (page 131).

Diesel particulate filter (DPF)

WARNING

Do not park or idle your vehicle over

dry leaves, dry grass or other

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

See Diesel particulate filter (DPF) (page 133).

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS

Please consult your Dealer for the

latest details relating to Ford

recommended child seats.

Original text according to ECE

R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use

a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it!

WARNINGS

When you are using a child restraint with a support leg on a second row

seat, make sure that you locate the support leg securely on the under floor storage compartment lid. Make sure that you install the foam spacer correctly inside the storage compartment and that you position the lid correctly.

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 restraint, make sure that you know the correct mass group and ISOFIX size class for the intended seating locations. See Child seat positioning (page 20).

Your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX anchor points that accommodate universally approved ISOFIX child restraints.

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

WARNINGS

If your vehicle is equipped with the comfort seat system, install the

ISOFIX seat only when the outboard seat is in the forward position. After installing the ISOFIX seat, do not move the seat to the comfort position as it could interfere with the tether strap routing.

Do not attach a tether strap to

anything other than the correct

tether anchor point.

Note:

Where applicable, remove the

luggage cover to ease installation. See

Luggage covers (page 162).

WARNING

Make sure that the top tether strap

is not slack or twisted and is

properly located on the anchor point.

1. Route the tether strap to the anchor

point.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Airbags

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 109).

Have repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column, seats, airbags and

seat belts carried out by a properly trained technician.

Keep the areas in front of the

airbags free from obstruction. Do

not affix anything to or over the airbag covers.

Do not poke sharp objects into

areas where airbags are fitted. This

could damage and adversely affect deployment of the airbags.

Use seat covers designed for seats

with side airbags. Have these fitted

by a properly trained technician.

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 and front passenger airbags

E74302

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

Side airbags

E72658

Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback of the front seats. A label indicates that side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.

Occupant protection

The side airbags will deploy during significant lateral collisions. Only the airbag on the side affected by the collision will deploy. The airbags will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing protection for the chest and shoulder areas. During minor lateral collisions, overturns, front collisions and rear collisions, the side airbags will not deploy.

Curtain airbags

E75004

Curtain airbags are fitted inside the trim panels over the front and rear side windows. Moulded badges in the B-pillar trim panels indicate that curtain airbags are fitted to your vehicle.

The curtain airbags will deploy during significant lateral collisions. Only the airbag on the side affected by the collision will deploy. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing protection for the head. During minor lateral collisions, front collisions, rear collisions, or overturns the curtain airbags will not deploy.

Seat belts

WARNINGS

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 to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the correct position (page 109).

Never use a seat belt for more than

one person.

Use the correct buckle for each seat

belt.

Do not use a seat belt that is slack

or twisted.

Do not wear thick clothing. The seat

belt must fit tightly around your body

to achieve its optimum effect.

Position the shoulder strap of the

seat belt over the centre of your

shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.

Seat belt pretensioners have a lower deployment threshold than the airbags. During minor collisions, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will deploy.

All vehicles

The driver and front passenger seat belt systems are fitted with a seat belt pretensioner.

Grand C-MAX

The second row centre seat belt system is also fitted with a seat belt pretensioner.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Alarm system

Your vehicle may be equipped with 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

E129005

WARNING

The sensors in the interior lamp unit must not be covered up. Do not

activate the alarm with full guard if any persons, animals or other moving objects are inside the vehicle.

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

Battery back-up sounder

The battery back-up sounder is an extra alarm system which will sound a siren when the alarm is triggered. It is armed directly when you lock the vehicle. The sounder has its own battery and will sound an alarm siren even if someone disconnects the 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 tailgate or the bonnet without a valid key or remote control.

•

If someone removes the audio or navigation system.

•

If the ignition is turned to position I, II or III without a valid key.

•

If the interior sensors detect movement within the vehicle.

•

On vehicles with a battery back-up sounder, if someone disconnects the 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 activated when you arm the alarm.

Note:

This may result in false alarms if animals or moving objects are inside the vehicle.

Alarm

Reduced guard

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

Note:

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

E71028

The auto-dimming mirror will adjust automatically when hit by glaring light from behind. It will not work when you have selected reverse gear.

BLIND SPOT MONITOR

Blind spot information system (BLIS)

WARNINGS

The system is not designed to prevent contact with other vehicles

or objects. The system only provides a warning to assist you in detecting vehicles in the blind spot zones. The system will not detect obstacles, pedestrians or cyclists.

Do not use the system as a

replacement for using the side and

rear view mirrors, and looking over your shoulder before changing lanes. The system is not a replacement for careful driving and is only to be used as an aid.

The system is a convenience feature that aids the driver in detecting vehicles that may have entered the blind spot zone (A). The detection area is on both sides of the vehicle extending rearwards from the exterior mirrors to approximately 3 metres (10 feet) beyond the bumper. The system will alert you if certain vehicles enter the blind spot zone whilst driving.

E124788

Using the system

The system displays a yellow indicator located in the exterior mirrors.

E124736

Note:

Both indicators will illuminate briefly when you switch the ignition on to confirm that the system is operational.

Windows and mirrors

Note:

On vehicles with automatic

transmission, the system is active only in D and N.

The system is only active when you exceed 10 km/h (6 mph). The system is temporarily deactivated when you select reverse gear.

System detection and alerts

The system will trigger the alert for vehicles that enter the blind spot zone from the rear or merge from the side. Vehicles that you pass, or vehicles that enter the blind spot zone from the front, will only trigger the alert after the vehicle has remained in the blind spot zone for a short period of time.

Note:

Vehicles that pass through the blind zone quickly (typically less than 2 seconds) will not trigger the alert.

The system consists of two radar sensors each located behind the rear wheels hidden behind the bumpers.

CAUTIONS

Do not place items such as bumper stickers in this area.

Repairs to these areas using body filler will affect the performance of the system.

E124741

Detection limitations

There may be certain instances where vehicles entering and exiting the blind spot zones may not be detected.

Instances which may cause non-detection:

•

Debris build up on the rear bumper panels in the area of the sensors.

•

Certain manoeuvring of vehicles entering and exiting the blind zone.

•

Vehicles passing through the blind zone at high speed.

•

Severe weather conditions.

•

Several vehicles passing through the blind zone following each other closely.

False alerts

Note:

False alerts are temporary and will

self correct.

There may be certain instances when the system will alert with no vehicle present in the blind zone.

Circumstances where false alerts may occur:

•

Road guardrails.

•

Motorway concrete walls.

•

Construction areas.

•

Sharp turns around a building.

•

Bushes and trees.

•

Coming to a stop with a vehicle directly behind but very close.

Turning the system on and off

Note:

The on or off position will remain

until manually changed.

You can turn the system on and off using the information display. See Information displays (page 83).

Windows and mirrors

When you turn the system off no further alerts will be received. The BLIS warning indicator will illuminate. See Warning

lamps and indicators (page 79).

Detection errors

Note:

The alert indicator in the mirror will

not illuminate.

If the system senses a fault on either sensor, the system warning symbol will illuminate and remain on. The information display will confirm the fault and indicate whether the left or right side is affected.

Blocked sensor

WARNING

Prior to the system recognizing a blocked condition and issuing a warning, the number of missed

objects will increase.

CAUTION

The sensors may not detect vehicles in heavy rain or other conditions that cause disruptive reflections.

Note:

Keep the rear bumper area surrounding the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow.

If a sensor becomes blocked the system performance may degrade. A blocked sensor message may be displayed.

The system will automatically return to normal operation once two other vehicles have been detected on both sides.

Trailer towing false alerts

CAUTION

Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow module not approved by us may not correctly be detected. Switch the

system off to avoid false alerts. See Information displays (page 83).

If the vehicle is fitted with a trailer tow module approved by us, the system will detect a connected trailer and deactivate. A confirmation message will be shown in the information display. See Information messages (page 90). The BLIS warning indicator will illuminate. See Warning lamps and indicators (page 79).
