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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Occupant protection

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.

Re-programming the unlocking function

You can change the unlocking function so that pressing the unlock button once deactivates the central locking and unlocks the driver’s door. Pressing the unlock button twice within three seconds also unlocks the passengers’ doors.

E72190

Keys and Remote Controls

In order to re-programme the function, press and hold the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously for at least four seconds with the ignition switched off. The direction indicators will flash twice to indicate that the unlocking function has been successfully re-programmed.

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

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until the engine has reached idle speed and then switch it off.

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.

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.

Vehicle load conditions

Driving in a fully laden condition will result in high fuel consumption.

Vehicle condition

Low tyre pressure or inadequate engine or vehicle maintenance will also result in higher fuel consumption.

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 manufacturer’s instructions.

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 manufacturer’s instructions.

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.

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.
