Airbags
WARNINGS
Do not modify the front of your vehicle in any way. This could adversely affect deployment of the
airbags.
Original warning 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.
WARNINGS
Have repairs to the steering wheel, steering column, seats, airbags and
seat belts carried out by properly trained technicians from Ford authorised dealerships.
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.
The airbag may only deploy with the
ignition switch in the on (II) position.
15
Occupant protection
WARNINGS
Always keep the areas in front of the airbags free. Never affix anything to or over these areas.
If you are too close to an inflating airbag, it could seriously injure you. Move your seat as far back as
practical to allow room for airbag inflation.
Several airbag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch after inflation.
Fitment of certain accessories e.g. bull bars or nudge bars may cause inadvertent or premature
deployment of air bags.
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.
Your vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder which is capable of collecting and storing data during a crash or near crash event. The recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event. To access this information special equipment must be directly connected to the recording modules. Ford does not access event data recorder information without obtaining consent unless pursuant to a court order or where required by law enforcement, other government authorities or other third parties may seek access to the information independent of Ford.
E123936
The airbag is a supplementary restraint system. It is designed to be used in addition to seat belts to help protect against head and chest injuries in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions.
The airbag system is not visible until it is activated. The air bag system is designed to deploy the driver and passenger front air bags in certain frontal and front angled collisions.
16
Occupant protection
Because the system senses crash severity, some frontal and side collisions will not inflate the airbags. Front airbags are not designed to inflate in rollover, rear and low speed impacts.
The restraint system comprises:
a driver airbag
a front passenger airbag
crash sensors
an airbag warning lamp
an electronic control and diagnostic
unit.
Driver and front passenger airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with an air bag for the driver, located in the steering wheel and a passenger air bag is located in the instrument panel above the glove compartment. The passenger air bag can be identified by the ‘Airbag mark embedded on the airbag cover.
The seat back must be set correctly for the airbags to be optimally effective. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page
51). This helps to reduce the risk of injury from sitting too close to an inflating airbag.
E102125
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 face/body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the driver and front passenger airbags will not deploy.
WARNINGS
If the passenger airbag cover shows
signs of having been removed, the
car should be towed to the nearest Authorised Ford Dealer for repair. Do not attempt to reinstall the cover. If the vehicle must be driven then on no account should there be an occupant in the front passenger seat.
The airbag(s) and energy
management retractors will activate
only once. Once activated, the airbags and energy management retractors will not function again and must be replaced immediately. The crash sensor must also be replaced. If the airbag(s) are not replaced, the un-repaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
Airbag warning light
E123944
When the ignition switch is turned to position II, the airbag warning light on the instrument panel illuminates for approximately 3 seconds to indicate that the system is functional.
17
Occupant protection
If the airbag warning light does not illuminate, if it stays on or illuminates intermittently or continuously while driving, it means there is a malfunction. Have the system checked by an Authorised Ford Dealer.
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, it can hold you in a position to achieve its optimum effect.
The wearing of seat belts is required
by law, even when airbags are fitted.
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.
E123937
The importance of wearing seat belts
Seat belts must be worn by all vehicle occupants to be properly restrained and help reduce the risk of injury in a collision. Wearing a seat belt will:
E123940
help keep you in the proper position when the airbags inflate,
reduce the risk of harm in rollover, side or rear impact collisions,
reduce the risk of harm in frontal collisions that are not severe enough to activate the airbags,
reduce the risk of being thrown from your vehicle.
E123941
FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNINGS
Insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear a distinct click. You have not fastened the seat belt properly
if you do not hear a click.
Do not use a seat belt that is slack or twisted.
18
Occupant protection
E74124
E102129
Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.
Press the red button on the buckle to release the belt. Let it retract completely and smoothly.
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.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
CAUTIONS
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.
Check your vehicle is locked before
leaving it unattended. This will
safeguard against any potential malicious frequency blocking.
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 four remote controls (Coded Keys) (including the ones supplied with the vehicle) can be programmed.
E102144
To programme a new remote control:
Turn the ignition key to position II four times within six seconds.
Switch off the ignition. Cluster indicator flashes to indicate that it is now possible to programme a new remote control.
Press any button on a new remote control. Cluster indicator flashes as confirmation. Repeat this last step for all of your remote controls, including the original.
Switch the ignition back on or wait for ten seconds without programming another remote control to end remote control programming. Only the remote controls which you have just programmed are now able to lock and unlock your vehicle.

CHANGING THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY
E107998
Make sure that you dispose of old batteries in an
environmentally friendly way. Seek advice from your local authority regarding recycling.
If the range of the transmitter in the key decreases gradually, the battery (type 3V CR 2032) should be replaced.
E68726
Carefully separate the transmitter unit
from the key using a flat object (e.g. a screwdriver) at the recess on the back.
Carefully prise out the battery with the
flat object. Fit the new battery between the contacts with the + sign facing downwards. Reassemble the transmitter unit in reverse order.
E68727
Open the transmitter unit by separating the retaining clips on the sides with the flat object.

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
Switching on the ignition disarms the system if the correct code is recognised. The indicator illuminates for approximately three seconds and then extinguishes.
If the indicator illuminates constantly for one minute or flashes for approximately one minute and then repeatedly at irregular intervals, the system did not recognise the key code or a system fault is present. Remove the key and try again.
If the engine does not start, a system malfunction has occurred. Have the system checked by an expert immediately.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside air
In this mode the climate control system utilizes outside air.
Cowl filter and wire mesh filter
These filters remove the dust that is brought in from the outside air through the cooling and heating system, when the blower is operated.
Have your dealer replace/clean the filters as mentioned in the Periodical maintenance schedule.
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.
Ensure maximum utilization of the recirculation mode to avoid dust entering into the passenger compartment and bad smell entering from outside.
Heating
The purpose of heating is to heat the interior compartment in cold weather conditions.
Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant.
Air conditioning
The purpose of air conditioning is to cool the interior compartment.
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.
If you use the air conditioning, the fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher.
Note: The air conditioning operates only when the temperature is above 4ºC (39ºF).
General information on controlling the interior climate

Starting and Stopping 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.
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 Jump-Starting the Vehicle (page
90).
Do not switch the ignition off when driving.

Fuel and Refuelling
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 QUALITY - PETROL
Note: Add 1 ml of IFTEX System G with
every litre of Gasoline (Petrol). It is available at all Ford authorised dealerships.
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 91 octane unleaded petrol that meets the specification defined by EN
228, or equivalent.
FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
Note: We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel without additives or other engine treatments.
WARNING
Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or other liquids. This could cause a chemical reaction.
CAUTION
Do not add kerosene, paraffin or
petrol to diesel. This could cause
damage to the fuel system.
Use diesel that meets the specification defined by EN 590, or equivalent.
You can use diesel that contains up to 5% RME (bio diesel).
Prolonged use of supplemental additives to prevent fuel waxing is not recommended.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Length of journey/engine temperature
Frequent cold starts and short distance driving leads to considerably increased fuel usage.
Traffic and road conditions
Slow moving traffic, uphill driving, frequent sharp bends and rough roads all have an adverse effect on fuel consumption.
Erratic driving habits
Anticipate hazards ahead and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
This not only reduces fuel consumption but also the noise level.
If you have a prolonged wait at a railway crossing or at traffic lights in built-up areas, it is advisable to switch off the engine during this period.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Dual circuit braking system
E71353
WARNING
If a brake circuit fails, you will at first experience a softer feel to the brake
pedal. You will then need to exert a greater force on the brake pedal, and make allowances for increased stopping distances. Have the braking system checked by an expert before continuing your journey. Authorised Ford Dealers are recommended.
Your vehicle is fitted with a diagonally split, dual circuit brake system. If a brake circuit fails, the other remains operational.
Disc brakes
E71354
Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when driving from a car wash to remove the film of water.
After leaving a car wash or driving the vehicle through water, dab the brake pedal while driving to remove the film of water.
ABS
WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full steering and directional stability when you brake heavily in an emergency, by preventing the road wheels from locking.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
E71355
When the ABS is operating, the brake pedal will pulse. This is normal. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.
The ABS will not eliminate the dangers inherent when:
you drive too close to the vehicle in front of you.
the vehicle is aquaplaning.
you take corners too fast.
the road surface is poor.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
WARNING
If you use a car wash with a waxing cycle, make sure that you remove the wax from the windscreen.
CAUTIONS
Prior to using a car wash facility check the suitability of it for your vehicle.
Some car wash installations use water at high pressure. This could damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Remove the aerial before using an automatic car wash.
Switch the heater blower off to prevent contamination of the fresh air filter.
We recommend that you wash your vehicle with a sponge and lukewarm water containing a car shampoo.
Cleaning the headlamps
CAUTIONS
Do not scrape the headlamp lenses or use abrasives, alcoholic solvents or chemical solvents to clean them.
Do not wipe the headlamps when they are dry.
Cleaning the rear window
CAUTION
Do not scrape the inside of the rear window or use abrasives or chemical solvents to clean it.
Use a clean, lint free cloth or a damp chamois leather to clean the inside of the rear window.
Cleaning the chrome trim
CAUTION
Do not use abrasives or chemical solvents. Use soapy water.
Cleaning the alloy wheels
Note: Do not apply a cleaning chemical to
warm or hot wheel rims and covers. Note: Industrial-strength (heavy-duty)
cleaners, or cleaning chemicals, in combination with brush agitation to remove brake dust and dirt, could wear away the clear coat finish over a period time.
Note: Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based or high caustic-based wheel cleaners, steel wool, fuels or strong household detergent.
Note: If you intend parking your vehicle for an extended period after cleaning the wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle for a few minutes before doing so. This will reduce the risk of increased corrosion of the brake discs, brake pads and linings.
Note: Some automatic car washes may cause damage to the finish on your wheel rims and covers.
Alloy wheels and wheel covers are coated with a clear coat paint finish. To maintain their condition we recommend that you:
Clean them weekly with the recommended wheel and tyre cleaner.
Use a sponge to remove heavy deposits of dirt and brake dust accumulation.
Rinse them thoroughly with a pressurised stream of water when you have completed the cleaning process.
We recommend that you use Ford service wheel cleaner. Make sure that you read and follow the manufacturers instructions.
88
Vehicle Care
Using other non-recommended cleaning products can result in severe and permanent cosmetic damage.
Body paintwork preservation
CAUTIONS
Do not polish your vehicle in strong sunshine.
Do not allow polish to touch plastic surfaces. It could be difficult to remove.
Do not apply polish to the windscreen or rear window. This could cause the wipers to become noisy and they may
not clear the window properly.
We recommend that you wax the paintwork once or twice a year.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Do not use abrasives, or chemical solvents to clean them.
Do not allow moisture to penetrate the seat belt retractor mechanism.
Clean the seat belts with interior cleaner or water applied with a soft sponge. Let the seat belts dry naturally, away from artificial heat.
Instrument cluster screens, LCD screens, radio screens
WARNING
Do not use abrasives, alcoholic solvents or chemical solvents to clean them.
Rear windows
CAUTIONS
Do not use any abrasive materials to clean the interior of the rear windows.
Do not install stickers or labels to the interior of the rear windows.
REPAIRING MINOR PAINT DAMAGE
CAUTION
Remove apparently harmless looking substances from the paintwork
immediately (e.g. bird droppings, tree resins, insect remains, tar spots, road salt and industrial fall out).
You should repair paintwork damage caused by stones from the road or minor scratches as soon as possible. A choice of products is available from your Ford Dealer. Read and follow the manufacturers instructions.

CAUTIONS
Use only approved wheel and tyre sizes. Using other sizes could damage the vehicle and will void the warranty.
If you change the diameter of the tyres from that fitted at the factory, the
speedometer may not display the correct speed. Take the vehicle to your dealer to have the engine management system reprogrammed.
A decal with tyre pressure data is located in the front passenger door opening at the B-pillar.
Check and set the tyre pressure at the ambient temperature in which you are intending to drive the vehicle and when the tyres are cold.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
Spare wheel
If the spare wheel differs from the other fitted wheels, these rules must be followed:
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
Drive the shortest possible distances before having the spare wheel changed.
Do not fit more than one spare wheel on your vehicle at any one time.
Do not use snow chains on this type of wheel.
The spare wheel is located under the floor cover in the luggage compartment. Raise the rear of the floor cover in the luggage compartment and remove it.

WARNINGS
The vehicle jack supplied with your vehicle should only be used when changing a wheel in emergency
situations.
Before using the vehicle jack, check that it is not damaged or deformed and that the thread is lubricated and
free from foreign matter.

Wheels and Tyres
WARNINGS
Never place anything between the jack and the ground, or the jack and the vehicle.
Note: Vehicles with a tyre repair kit or run flat tyres are not equipped with a vehicle jack or a wheel brace.
It is recommended to use a workshop type hydraulic jack for changing between summer and winter tyres.
Note: Use a jack with a minimum lifting capacity of 1.5 tonnes and a lifting plate with a minimum diameter of 80 millimetres (3.1 inches).
The jack and wheel brace are located in the spare wheel well. The jack handle is clipped in to the jack.

Removing a road wheel
WARNINGS
Park your vehicle in such a position that neither the traffic nor you are hindered or endangered.
Set up a warning triangle.
Make sure that the vehicle is on firm, level ground with the wheels pointing straight ahead.
Switch off the ignition and apply the parking brake.
Select first or reverse gear.
Have the passengers leave the vehicle.
Secure the diagonally opposite wheel with an appropriate block or wheel chock.
Do not work underneath the vehicle when it is supported only by a jack.
Make sure that the jack is vertical to the jacking point and the base is flat on the ground.
CAUTION
Do not lay alloy wheels face down on
the ground, this will damage the paint.
1. Insert the flat end of the wheel brace
between the rim and the hub cover and carefully remove the hub cap or cover.

2. Fully extend the wheel brace if applicable.
3. Slacken the wheel nuts.
4. Jack up the vehicle until the tyre is clear of the ground.
5. Remove the wheel nuts and the wheel.
Installing a road wheel
WARNINGS
Use only approved wheel and tyre sizes. Using other sizes could damage the vehicle and will make
the National Type Approval invalid. See Technical Specifications (page 97).
Do not fit run flat tyres on vehicles that were not originally fitted with them. Please contact your dealer for
more details regarding compatibility.
Make sure that the arrows on directional tyres point in the direction
of rotation when the vehicle is moving forwards. If you have to fit a spare wheel with the arrows pointing in the opposite direction, have the tyre refitted in the correct direction by a properly trained technician.
CAUTION
Do not install alloy wheels using wheel nuts designed for use with steel wheels.
Note: Make sure the wheel and hub contact surfaces are free from foreign matter.
Note: Make sure that the cones on the wheel nuts are against the wheel.
1. Install the wheel.

To make sure the front and rear tyres of your vehicle wear evenly and last longer, we recommend that you swap the tyres from front to rear and vice versa at regular intervals of between 5,000 and 10,000 km (3,000 and 6,000 miles).
CAUTION
Do not scrub the sidewalls of the tyres when you are parking.
If you have to mount a kerb, do so slowly and approach it with the wheels at right-angles to the kerb.
Examine the tyres regularly for cuts, foreign objects and uneven wear of the tread. Uneven wear could mean that the wheel alignment is outside specification.
Check the tyre pressures (including the spare) when cold, every two weeks.
