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 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.

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.

Right-hand sideA
Left-hand sideB

Protecting the Environment

You must play your part in protecting the
environment. Correct vehicle usage and
the authorized disposal of waste, cleaning
and lubrication materials are significant
steps toward this aim.

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 errors.

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).

• Malfunction 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 errors
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 error data storage
modules using special diagnostic devices.
If required, you will receive further
information. After an error has been
corrected, these data are deleted from the
error storage module or they are constantly
overwritten.

Introduction

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.

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.

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.

Child Safety

Booster Seat (Group 2)

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)

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. Failure to follow this
warning could result in serious personal
injury or death.

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

The ISOFIX system has two rigid
attachment arms on the child seat. These
attach to anchor points on the second row
seats, where the cushion and backrest
meet. For child seats with a top tether,
tether anchor points are on the rear of the
second row seats.

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 19).

FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS

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.

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

This belt type is available with the front
seats of all models, and with the rear seat
of some versions. Keep the belt retention
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 buckle tab into the
belt lock until your hear a click, and make
sure it is locked in place.

Releasing the safety belt

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

Fixed rear center lap belt

When buckling, make sure you hear a click
confirming that the tab is latched into the
belt lock. To tighten it, pull the loose end
through the buckle until the belt is
comfortably adjusted around the hips.

Safety Belts

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

Note: Some models have a rear center lap
belt.

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

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.

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.

SAFETY BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (If Equipped)

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.

To adjust the shoulder belt height:

1. Pull the button and slide the height
adjuster up or down.

2. Release the button and pull down on
the height adjuster to make sure it is
locked in place.

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.

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 73). 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.

PASSENGER AIRBAG

The airbag will deploy during a significant
frontal crash or crashes 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 cushioning forward body
movement. During minor frontal crashes,
sideways crashes, rear crashes or
overturns, the airbag will not deploy.

Switching the Passenger Airbag
Off

WARNING

Extreme Hazard! You must switch
the passenger airbag off when you

are using a rearward facing child seat
on the front passenger seat. 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

SIDE AIRBAGS (If Equipped)

WARNING

Use seat covers designed for seats

with side airbags. Have these fitted

by an authorized 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. 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 Instrument Panel

Overview (page 13).
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 (If

Equipped)

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

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

Principle of Operation

The system prevents someone from
starting the engine with an incorrectly
coded key.

Coded Keys

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

Note: Have all of your remaining keys
erased and recoded if you lose a key. Have
replacement keys coded together with
recoding your remaining keys. See an
authorized dealer for further information.

Note: Do not shield your keys with metal
objects. This may prevent the receiver from
recognizing a coded key.

Arming the Engine Immobilizer

When you switch the ignition off the engine
immobilizer will arm automatically after a
short time.

Disarming the Engine Immobilizer

When you switch the ignition on the engine
immobilizer will disarm automatically if a
correctly coded key is used.

correctly coded key, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer.

ANTI-THEFT ALARM (If Equipped)

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
unauthorized access to your vehicle
through the doors and the hood. 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
unauthorized intrusion by sensing any
movement within your 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. 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.

Security

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in Lamp Assemblies

Exterior lamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:

• The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).

• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:

• A water puddle inside the lamp.

• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets

present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.

The headlamps will come on and go off
automatically depending on the ambient
light.

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS

WARNING

Always remember to switch your
headlamps on in low light situations

or during inclement weather. The
system does not turn on the tail lamps and
may not provide adequate lighting during
these conditions. Failure to switch the
headlamps on under these conditions may
result in a crash.

The system switches daytime running
lamps on whenever the ignition is on and
low beam headlamps are off.

If your vehicle has autolamps, the system
switches between daytime running lamps
and low beam headlamps depending on
ambient light conditions.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside Air

Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) 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 windshield.

The air currently in the passenger
compartment recirculates. Outside air does
not enter your vehicle.

Heating

Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.

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 windshield and the door
windows.

Cooling the Interior

Direct the air toward your face.

Air Conditioning

The system directs air through the
evaporator for cooling. The evaporator
extracts humidity from the air to help keep
the windows free of mist. The system
directs the resulting condensation to the
outside of your vehicle, which may cause
a small pool to form under your vehicle.
This is normal.

Note: The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).

Note: When you use air conditioning, your
vehicle uses more fuel.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE

General Hints

Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may

cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air

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
windshield.

To minimize humidity in the air conditioning
system and reduce unpleasant odors,
switch off the air conditioning and keep
the fan going for at least two minutes
before switching off the engine. Do the
following:

1. Keep the engine running.

2. Switch off the air conditioning by

pressing the A/C button.

3. Keep the fan switched on.

4. Set the temperature to the full hot

position.

5. Use outside air, not recirculated air.

6. Wait one to two minutes, and then

switch off the engine.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION

WARNINGS

Do not recline the seat backrest too
far as this can cause the occupant

to slide under the safety belt,
resulting in serious injury in the event of a
crash.

Sitting improperly, out of position or

with the seat backrest reclined too

far, can result in serious injury or
death in the event of a crash. Always sit
upright against your seat backrest, with
your feet on the floor.

Do not place objects higher than the

seat backrest to reduce the risk of

serious injury in the event of a crash
or during heavy braking.

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

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 seat backrest 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 centimeters) 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
safety belt over the center 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

WARNINGS

Raise the rear head restraint when
the rear seat is occupied by a
passenger.

When front seats are in use the head
restraints must not be removed.

Adjusting the head restraints

Adjust the head restraint so that the top
of it is level with the top of your head.

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 an authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if
you smell exhaust fumes.

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 miles
(8 kilometers) 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.

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

WARNING

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.

Note: Avoid running out of fuel.

Note: During regeneration at low speed or

engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odor and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during regeneration and is normal.

Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust
sound may be heard during the regeneration
process.

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

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.

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

• Drive your vehicle in more favorable
conditions, which you will find at higher
vehicle speeds in normal driving, on a
main road or freeway 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.

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.

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 gasoline may
contain benzene, which is a
cancer-causing agent.

When refueling always shut the
engine off and never allow sparks or

open flames near the filler neck.
Never smoke while refueling. Fuel vapor 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 refueling your
vehicle.

• Always turn off the vehicle before

refueling.

• Automotive fuels can be harmful or

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

• Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too
much fuel vapor of any kind can lead
to eye and respiratory tract irritation.
In severe cases, excessive or prolonged
breathing of fuel vapor 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 vapor causes
skin irritation.

FUEL QUALITY - GASOLINE

WARNINGS

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

Do not use leaded gasoline or
gasoline 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
gasoline that meets the specification
defined by EN 228 or the equivalent
national specification.

87

Ecosport (CBW) Vehicles Built From: 05-08-2013, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2014, CG3590en enGBR, Edition date: 02/2014, None

Fuel and Refueling

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

Long-Term Storage

Most gasoline 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 an authorized
dealer.

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL

WARNINGS

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

Do not add kerosene, paraffin or
gasoline to diesel. This could cause
damage to the fuel system.

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 3.8 litres of fuel is
enough to restart the engine. If your
vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep
grade, more than 3.8 litres may be
required.

Refilling with a Portable Fuel
Container

WARNING

Do not pump fuel into an
ungrounded fuel container, as the

static electricity produced during the
flow of petrol through the nozzle may
cause fire.

To avoid static build up:

• Place the approved fuel container on

the ground.

• Do not fill the container whilst in the

vehicle or utility tray.

• Keep the nozzle in contact with the fuel

container whilst filling.

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

113).

Do not switch the ignition off when

driving.

REFUELING

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
immediately by a Ford Dealer.

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.

WARNINGS

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

less than 20 centimeters.

Note: Flex fuel vehicles can be fueled with
gasoline, ethanol or a mixture of both.

If you are refueling with a different fuel
than that used previously, we recommend
that you drive the vehicle immediately after
refueling for at least 10 minutes. This is
necessary because the engine control
module needs to adapt itself to the fuel
present in the tank. This procedure is
especially important when the fuel level
gauge indicates less than half before
refueling.

If your vehicle stopped due to lack of fuel
(empty tank) you should refuel preferably
with gasoline.

Fuel Filler Cap

Your fuel tank filler cap has a regular turn
style design, with two to three turns on or
off.

When fueling your vehicle:

1. Turn the engine off.

2. Carefully turn the filler cap
counterclockwise two to three turns,
until it opens.

3. Hang the fuel cap tether cord on the
filler door hook.

4. After refueling, to install the cap, align
it with the filler pipe.

5. Turn the filler cap clockwise two to
three turns until it clicks twice.

If you must replace the fuel filler cap,
replace it with a fuel filler cap that is
designed for your vehicle. The customer
warranty may be void for any damage to
the fuel tank or fuel system if the correct
genuine Ford fuel filler cap is not used.

Fuel and Refueling

FUEL CONSUMPTION

Note: The amount of usable fuel in the

empty reserve varies and should not be
relied upon to increase driving range. When
refueling 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.

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.

Your dealer can give you advice on
improving your fuel consumption.

Filling the Tank

For consistent results when filling the fuel
tank:

• Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
inaccurate reading results if the engine
is left running.

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

• The maximum tank capacity, during
fueling, is reached when the pump is
automatically cut off for the second
time.

Results are most accurate when the filling
method is consistent.

Calculating Fuel Economy

Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 1600 kilometers of driving (this is your
engine’s break-in period); a more accurate
measurement is obtained after 3200
kilometers - 4800 kilometers. 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.

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 multiplying
liters used by 100, and then dividing it
by the traveled kilometers.

Keep a record for at least one month and
record the type of driving (city or highway).
This provides an accurate estimate of the
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.

out of the park position and into the

HILL START ASSIST (If Equipped)

WARNINGS

The hill start assist feature does not
replace the parking brake. When you
leave the vehicle, always apply the

parking brake.

You must remain in the vehicle once
you have activated the hill start
assist feature.

During all times, you are responsible
for controlling the vehicle,
supervising the hill start assist

system and intervening, if required.

If the engine is revved excessively, or
if a malfunction is detected when the
hill start assist feature is active, the

hill start assist feature will be deactivated.

This feature makes it easier to pull away
when the vehicle is on a slope without the
need to use the parking brake.

When this feature is active, the vehicle will
remain stationary on the slope for two to
three seconds after you release the brake
pedal. This allows you time to move your
foot from the brake to the accelerator
pedal. The brakes are released
automatically once the engine has
developed sufficient drive to prevent the
vehicle from rolling down the slope. This
is an advantage when pulling away on a
slope, (for example from a car park ramp,
traffic lights or when reversing uphill into
a parking space).

This feature is activated automatically on
any slope that can result in significant
vehicle rollback.

Activating Hill Start Assist

Note: If the engine is revved excessively, hill

start assist will be deactivated.

1. Press the brake pedal to bring the
vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep
the brake pedal pressed.

2. If the sensors detect that the vehicle is
on a slope, the hill start assist feature
will be activated automatically.

3. When you remove your foot from the
brake pedal, the vehicle will remain on
the slope without rolling away for
approximately two or three seconds.
This hold time will automatically be
extended if you are in the process of
driving off.

4. Drive off in the normal manner. The
brakes will be released automatically.
