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 76).

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 cloudof 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.

Driver knee airbag

CAUTION

Do not attempt to open the driver
knee airbag cover.

The driver knee 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 Quick start (page

8).

23

Occupant protection

Note:

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

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.

The side airbags will deploy during
significant lateral collisions. 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. 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 76).

Never use a seat belt for more than

one person.

Occupant protection

WARNINGS

Do not use a seat belt that is slack
or twisted.

Do notwear 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.

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

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.

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

35

Engine immobiliser

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

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

Triggering the alarm

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

•

If someone opens a door, the luggage
compartment or the bonnet without
a valid key or remote control.

•

If someone removes the audio
system.

•

If someone turns the ignition to
position I, II or III without a valid key.

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

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

ARMING THE ALARM

The system is armed as soon as the
vehicle is locked and acts as a deterrent
to unauthorised persons who attempt to
open the doors, bonnet or luggage
compartment, or remove the audio
system.

The alarm sounds for 30 seconds if an
unauthorised person opens a door, the
luggage compartment or the bonnet. The
hazard flasher lights will flash for five
minutes.

Any attempt to start the engine without a
valid key or to remove the audio system
sounds the alarm again.

Automatic arming delay

The 12 seconds arming delay begins
when the bonnet, luggage compartment
and all doors are closed.

DISARMING THE ALARM

Disarm and silence the alarm by unlocking
the doors with the key and switching the
ignition on with a correctly coded key, or
unlocking the doors with the remote
control.

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.

39

Wipers and washers

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).

E102035

A

High sensitivityA

Low sensitivityB

A. The wipers will only wipe when a larger

amount of water is detected on the
windscreen

B. The wipers will wipe even if only a

small amount of water is detected on
the windscreen.

Six settings are available from low to high
sensitivity.

Automatic wiper system

Some models without autowipers are
fitted with a speed-dependent front
screen wiper system.

When the vehicle is slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
wiper speed will automatically switch to
the next lower wiper speed setting.

When the vehicle speed is increased, the
wiper speed will return to the
manually-chosen setting.

Moving the wiper lever when the system
is operating will switch off the system.

If the vehicle is again slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
system is reactivated.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS

WARNING

Do not operate the electric windows
unless they are free from
obstruction.

Note:

If you operate the switches often
during a short period of time, the system
might become inoperable for a certain
time to prevent damage due to
overheating.

Switch on the ignition to operate the
electric windows.

Driver's door switches

You can operate all the windows with the
switches on the door trim panel of the
driver’s door.

E70848

Opening and closing the
driver's window automatically

Press or lift the switch to the second
action point and release it completely.
Press or lift it again to stop the window.

Safety switch for rear windows

Note:

You can always operate the rear
windows from the driver’s door.

E70850

A switch in the driver’s door disables the
rear electric window switches.

The light in the switch comes on and the
lights in the rear window switches go off
when the rear windows are disabled.

Anti-trap function

WARNING

Careless closing of the window can
override the protection function and
cause injuries.

Note:

The anti-trap function is only

available on the driver's window.

The electric window will stop automatically
while closing and reverse some distance
if there is an obstacle in the way.

Overriding the anti-trap function

CAUTION

While you close the window for the
third time, the anti-trap function is

disabled. Make sure there are no
obstacles in the way of the closing
window.

53

Windows and mirrors

To override this protection function when
there is a resistance, e.g. in the winter,
proceed as follows:

1. Close the window twice until it
reaches the resistance and let it
reverse.

2. Close the window a third time to the
resistance. The anti-trap function is
disabled and you cannot close the
window automatically. The window will
override the resistance and you can
close it fully.

3. If the window does not close after the
third attempt, have it checked by a
properly trained technician.

Resetting the memory of the
electric window

WARNING

The anti-trap function is deactivated
until you have reset the memory.

After the battery has been disconnected
from the vehicle you must reset the
memory for the driver's window:

1. Lift the switch until the window is fully
closed. Hold the switch lifted for one
more second.

2. Release the switch and lift it again, two
or three times, for one more second.

3. Open the window and try to close it
automatically.

4. Reset and repeat procedure if the
window does not close automatically.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside air

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

Recirculated air

CAUTION

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

windows mist up, follow the settings
for defrosting and demisting the
windscreen.

The air currently in the passenger
compartment will be recirculated. Outside
air will not enter the 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 4ºC
(39ºF).

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

Cooling the interior

Direct the air towards your face.

amount and distribution of the air flow
automatically and adjusts them according
to the driving and weather conditions.
Pressing the AUTO button once switches
on the auto mode.

Note:

Avoid adjusting the settings when
the vehicle interior is extremely hot or
cold. The automatic climate control
adjusts to the current circumstances

be fully open.

Note:

The sunload sensor is located on
top of the instrument panel. Do not cover
the sensor with any objects.

Note:

At low outside temperatures, when
the system is in auto mode, the air stream
will be directed to the windscreen and the
side windows as long as the engine is
cold.

Setting the temperature

E102706

You can set the temperature between
16ºC and 28ºC in steps of 0.5ºC. In

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION

E68595

WARNINGS

Do not adjust the seats when the
vehicle is moving.

Only when you use the seat belt
properly, can it hold you in a position
that allows the airbag to achieve its

optimum effect.

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:

•

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 forwards as possible,
remaining comfortable.

•

keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 250
millimetres (10 inches) 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

If the engine is cold then the idle speed
will automatically be increased in order to
heat the catalytic converter as quickly as
possible. This ensures that vehicle
emissions are kept to an absolute
minimum.

The idle speed will slowly decrease to the
normal level as the catalytic converter
warms up.

STARTINGA DIESEL ENGINE

Cold or hot engine

All vehicles

Note:

When the temperature is below

-15ºC (5ºF), you may need to crank the
engine for up to 25 seconds. If you
consistently operate the vehicle in such
temperatures, we recommend that you
have an engine block heater fitted.

Note:

Continue cranking the engine until

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)

The DPF forms part of the emissions
reduction systems fitted to 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 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.

Unlike a normal filter which requires
periodic replacement, the DPF has been
designed to regenerate, or clean itself to
maintain operating efficiency. The
regeneration process takes place
automatically. However, some driving
conditions mean that you may need to
support the regeneration process.

If you drive only short distances or your
journeys contain frequent stopping and
starting, occasional trips with the following
conditions could assist the regeneration
process:

•

Drive your vehicle, preferably on a
main road or motorway, for up to 20
minutes avoiding prolonged idling, but
always observing speed limits and
road conditions.

•

Do not switch off the ignition.

•

Use a lower gear than normal to
maintain a higher engine speed during
this journey, where appropriate.

87

Starting the engine

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS

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 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.

FUEL QUALITY - PETROL

Note:

We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel without additives or other
engine treatments.

CAUTION

Do not use leaded petrol or petrol
with additives containing other

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

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

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL

WARNING

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

CAUTIONS

Do not add kerosene, paraffin or

petrol to diesel. This could cause

damage to the fuel system.

CAUTIONS

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:

The use of additives or other
engine treatments not approved by Ford
is not recommended.

Note:

We do not recommend the
prolonged use of additives intended to
prevent fuel waxing.

Long-term storage

Most diesel fuels contain bio-diesel, it is
recommended to fill the tank with purely
mineral diesel (where available) or add an
anti-oxidant prior to long-term storage of
your vehicle exceeding two months. Your
dealer can help you with a suitable
anti-oxidant.

FUEL FILLER FLAP

WARNINGS

Take care when refuelling to avoid
spilling any residual fuel from the fuel
pipe nozzle.

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.

CAUTION

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 centimetres (8 inches).

88

Fuel and refuelling

E103203

Press the flap to open it. Open the flap
fully until it engages.

When you insert the fuel pipe nozzle, a
spring loaded inhibitor will open if the
correct size nozzle is detected. This will
prevent filling up with the wrong fuel.

E107539

Insert the fuel pipe nozzle up to the first
notch on the nozzle, and keep it in
position on the fuel filler opening.

Vehicles with tyre repair kit

A funnel is located in the spare wheel well.
Use this when refilling with a fuel can.

Vehicles without tyre repair kit

A funnel is located in the glove box. Use
this when refilling with a fuel can.

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

CAUTIONS

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
Using booster cables (page 131).

Do not switch the ignition off when
driving.

REFUELLING

CAUTION

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 a
properly trained technician immediately.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The CO2 and fuel consumption figures
are derived from laboratory tests
according to EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC
and subsequent amendments and are
carried out by all vehicle manufacturers.

89

Fuel and refuelling

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 and towing etc.

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

The ESP supports stability when the
vehicle starts to slide away from your
intended path. This is performed by
braking individual wheels and reducing
engine torque as needed.

The system also provides an enhanced
traction control function by reducing
engine torque if the wheels spin when you
accelerate. This improves your ability to
pull away on slippery roads or loose
surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting
wheel spin in hairpin bends.

CAUTIONS

Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly detect obstacles.

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

The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves.

The parking aid does not detect
obstacles moving away from the

vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move towards
the vehicle again.

Take particular care when reversing

with a tow ball arm or rear fitted

accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as
the rear parking aid will only indicate the
distance from the bumper to the obstacle.

If you use a high pressure spray to

wash your vehicle, only spray the

sensors briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches).

Note:

On vehicles fitted with a tow ball
arm, the parking aid is deactivated
automatically when any trailer lamps (or
lighting boards) are connected to the
13-pin socket via a trailer tow module we
have approved.

Note:

Keep the sensors free from dirt,
ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp
objects.

Note:

The parking aid may emit false
tones if it detects a signal using the same
frequency as the sensors or if the vehicle
is fully laden.

Note:

The outer sensors may detect the
side walls of a garage. If the distance
between the outer sensor and the side
wall remains constant for three seconds,
the tone will switch off. As you continue,
the inner sensors will detect rearward
objects.
