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 hand-held 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 the
vehicle you have purchased.
Note: Some of the illustrations in this
manual may show features as used in
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 your
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.

Introduction
When you see these symbols, read and
follow the relevant instructions in this
handbook before touching or attempting
adjustment of any kind.
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.

fails to switch the main beam on or off.
The system will automatically switch on
main beam if it is dark enough and no other
traffic is present. If it detects an
approaching vehicle’s headlamps or tail
lamps, or street lighting ahead the system
will switch off main beam before it can
distract other road users. Dipped beams
will remain on.
See Automatic High Beam Control
(page 56).

Stopping the engine when the vehicle
is moving
WARNING
Switching off the engine when the

seconds.
See Keyless Starting (page 145).
Diesel particulate filter (DPF)
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after DPF regeneration, and
after you have switched the engine off.
This is a potential fire hazard.
See Diesel Particulate Filter (page 150).

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING
WARNINGS
Please consult your Dealer for the
latest details relating to Ford
recommended child seats.
When you are using a group 0 or 0+
child seat with a support leg on a
second row seat, make sure that you
locate the support leg securely on the
under floor storage compartment cover.
Make sure that you install the foam spacer
correctly inside the storage compartment,
using any screws or fastenings provided
and, that you position the cover correctly.
If the under floor storage
compartment foam spacer is
damaged or missing, remove the
storage compartment cover and extend
the leg to the base of the compartment. If
it is not possible to locate the leg securely
on the base of the compartment, for
example because of the shape or length
of the leg, replace the foam spacer and
compartment cover or select a different
seating position in the vehicle.
WARNINGS
If you want to use a child seat with a
support leg, consult the child seat
manufacturer's website or fitting
instructions. You must make sure the child
seat is compatible with your vehicle. Check
for any special fitting instructions regarding
the removal of the under floor storage
compartment cover or the position of the
second row seats. See Child Seat
Positioning (page 23).
On certain vehicles it is not possible
to open or remove the left-hand
compartment cover. See Storage
compartments (page 140). For group 0 or
0+ child seats, this does not prevent the
support leg being located on the cover.
However, if any larger child seat that you
may wish to use requires you to remove
the cover and extend the leg to the base
of the compartment, either select a
different seating position in the vehicle or
a different child seat.
When using a forward facing child
seat on a second or third row seat,
always remove the head restraint
from that seat. See Head Restraints
(page 126).
When using a child seat with a safety
belt, make sure that the safety belt
is not slack or twisted.
Note: When using a child seat on a front
seat, always adjust the front passenger seat
to its fully rearwards position. If it proves
difficult to tighten the lap section of the
safety belt without slack remaining, adjust
the seatback to the fully upright position
and raise the height of the seat. See
Manual Seats (page 127). See Power
Seats (page 128).
Note: When using a child seat on a second
row seat, adjust the second row seat to the
most practical position for the driver. See
Rear Seats (page 130).

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS
WARNING
Use an anti-rotation device when
using the ISOFIX system. We
recommend the use of a top tether
or support leg.
Note: When you are purchasing an ISOFIX
restraint, make sure that you know the
correct mass group and ISOFIX size class
for the intended seating locations. See
Child Seat Positioning (page 23).
Your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX anchor
points that accommodate universally
approved ISOFIX child restraints.
The ISOFIX system comprises two rigid
attachment arms on the child restraint that
attach to anchor points on the outboard
rear seats, where the cushion and backrest
meet. Tether anchor points are fitted
behind the outboard rear seats for child
restraints with a top tether.

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 safety belt and keep
sufficient distance between yourself
and the steering wheel. Only when
you use the safety 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 126).
Have repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
safety belts carried out by a properly
trained technician.
Keep the areas in front of the airbags
free from obstruction. Do not affix
anything to or over the airbag covers.
Do not poke sharp objects into areas
where airbags are fitted. This could
damage and adversely affect
deployment of the airbags.
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by a properly trained technician.
Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a
cloud of harmless powdery residue if an
airbag deploys. This is normal.
Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a damp
cloth.
Driver and front passenger airbags
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.
