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.

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, or press three times within three
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.

Top tether anchor points

Child Safety

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.

For item location: See At a Glance (page

9). .

Galaxy/S-MAX (CA1) Vehicles Built From: 25-11-2013, Vehicles Built Up To: 18-12-2014, CG3533en enGBR, Edition date: 11/2013, Second Printing

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

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

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.

Safety belts

WARNINGS

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 to achieve its optimum
effect. See Sitting in the Correct
Position (page 126).

Never use a safety belt for more than

one person.

Use the correct buckle for each

safety belt.

Do not use a safety belt that is slack

or twisted.

Do not wear thick clothing. The

safety belt must fit tightly around

your body to achieve its optimum
effect.

Position the shoulder strap of the

safety belt over the centre of your

shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.

Occupant protection

The driver and front passenger safety belt
retractors are fitted with a safety belt
pretensioner. Safety belt pretensioners
have a lower deployment threshold than
the airbags. During minor collisions, it is
possible that only the safety belt
pretensioners will deploy.

Status after a collision

WARNING

Safety belts subjected to strain, as a
result of an accident, should be
renewed and the anchorages

checked by a properly trained technician.

FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS

WARNING

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.

Note: The safety belt tongues are designed
so that you can only insert them into the
correct buckle.

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.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The engine immobilizer 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
recognizing 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 IMMOBILIZER

The engine immobilizer is armed
automatically a short time after you have
switched the ignition off.

DISARMING THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZER

The engine immobilizer is disarmed
automatically when you switch the ignition
on with a correctly coded key.

If the message Immobiliser active
appears in the information display, your
key has not been recognized. Remove the
key and try again.

If you are unable to start the engine with a
correctly coded key, this indicates a
malfunction. The message Immobiliser
active will appear in the information
display when you switch on the ignition.
Have the immobilizer checked
immediately.

Engine immobilizer

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Alarm system

Your vehicle may be equipped with one of
the following alarm systems:

• Perimeter alarm.

• Perimeter alarm with interior sensors.

• Category one alarm with interior

sensors and battery back-up sounder.

• Category one alarm with interior
sensors, battery back-up sounder and
tilt sensors.

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

Vehicles without overhead console

Vehicles with overhead console

WARNING

The sensors must not be covered up.
Do not activate the alarm with full
guard if any persons, animals or other

moving objects are inside the vehicle.

The sensors act as a deterrent against
unauthorized intrusion by sensing any
movement within the 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. It is armed
directly when you lock the vehicle. The
sounder has its own battery and will sound
an alarm siren even if someone
disconnects the vehicle battery or the
battery back-up sounder itself.

Tilt sensors

The tilt sensors detect if someone
attempts to steal a wheel or tow the
vehicle away by sensing changes in the
inclination of the vehicle.

Note: When traveling on a ferry with the
alarm armed, deactivate the tilt sensors by
selecting reduced guard. This will prevent
the alarm from being triggered by the
movement.

Triggering the alarm

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

• If someone opens a door, the tailgate
or the hood without a valid key or
remote control.

• If someone removes the audio or
navigation system.

• If the ignition is turned to position I, II
or III without a valid key.

• If the interior sensors detect movement
within the vehicle.

45

Galaxy/S-MAX (CA1) Vehicles Built From: 25-11-2013, Vehicles Built Up To: 18-12-2014, CG3533en enGBR, Edition date: 11/2013, Second Printing

Alarm

• On vehicles with a battery back-up
sounder, if someone disconnects the
vehicle battery or the battery back-up
sounder itself.

• If the tilt sensors detect a change in the
inclination of the vehicle.

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 and tilt sensors
are activated when you arm the alarm.

Note: This may result in false alarms if
animals or moving objects are inside the
vehicle or, on vehicles with tilt sensors, when
traveling on a ferry.

Note: False alarms can also be triggered
by the auxiliary heater. See Auxiliary
Heater (page 120). If you are using the
auxiliary heater, direct the air flow towards
the footwell.

Reduced guard

In reduced guard, the interior and tilt
sensors are deactivated when you arm the
alarm.

Note: You can set the alarm to reduced
guard for the current ignition cycle only. The
next time you switch on the ignition, the
alarm will be reset to full guard.

Ask on Exit

You can set the information display to ask
you each time which level of guard you
wish to set.

If you select Ask on Exit, the message
Reduced guard? appears in the
instrument cluster display each time you
switch the ignition off.

If you wish to arm the alarm with reduced
guard, press the OK button when this
message appears.

If you wish to arm the alarm with full guard,
leave the vehicle without pressing the OK
button.

Selecting full or reduced guard

Note: Selecting Reduced does not set the

alarm permanently to reduced guard. It sets
it to reduced guard only for the current
ignition cycle. If you regularly set the alarm
to reduced guard, select Ask on Exit.

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.

is on.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL

WARNINGS

The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due

care and attention. A manual
override may be necessary if the system
fails to switch the main beam on or off.

56

Galaxy/S-MAX (CA1) Vehicles Built From: 25-11-2013, Vehicles Built Up To: 18-12-2014, CG3533en enGBR, Edition date: 11/2013, Second Printing

Lighting

WARNINGS

A manual override may be required
when approaching other road users
such as cyclists.

Do not use the system in fog.

CAUTIONS

In cold and severe weather conditions
the system may not function. A
manual override may be necessary in

these cases.

Reflective road signs may be detected
as oncoming traffic and the
headlamps may be switched to low

beam.

If the lights of oncoming vehicles are
hidden by obstacles (for example
guard rails) the system may not

deactivate the high beam.

Always fit Ford Original Parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other
bulbs may reduce system

performance.

Check and replace wiper blades
regularly to ensure the camera sensor

has a clear view through the
windscreen. Replacement wiper blades
must be the correct length.

Note: Keep the windscreen free from
obstructions such as bird droppings, insects
and snow or ice.

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.

A camera sensor is centrally mounted
behind the windshield of the vehicle, and
monitors conditions continuously to decide
when to switch the high beam off and on.

Once the system is active the high beam
will switch on if:

• It is dark enough to require the use of
high beams and

• there is no traffic or street lighting
ahead and

• vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h
(25 mph).

The high beam will switch off if:

• The ambient light is high enough that
high beam is not required.

• An approaching vehicle's headlamps
or tail lamps are detected.

• Street lighting is detected.

• Vehicle speed falls below 25 km/h (16

mph).

• The camera sensor is too hot or
becomes blocked.

Activating the system

Switch on the system using the information
display and autolamps. See Information
Displays (page 89). See Autolamps
(page 56).

Turn the switch to the autolamps position.

Lighting

Note: The system may take a short time to

initialize after first switching the ignition on,
especially in very dark conditions. The high
beam will not automatically switch on
during this period.

Setting the system sensitivity

The system has three sensitivity levels
which can be accessed via the information
display. See Information Displays (page

89).

The sensitivity determines the speed at
which the high beam will be restored after
detected traffic leaves the field of view.

Manually overriding the system

Use the high beam lever to switch between
high beam and low beam.

Note: This is a temporary override and the
system will return to automatic operation
after a short period.

To permanently deactivate the system use
the information display menu or turn the
lighting control switch from autolamps to
headlamps.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM

Blind spot information system
(BLIS)

WARNINGS

The system is not designed to
prevent contact with other vehicles

or objects. The system only provides
a warning to assist you in detecting
vehicles in the blind spot zones. The
system will not detect obstacles,
pedestrians, motorcyclists or cyclists.

Do not use the system as a

replacement for using the side and

rear view mirrors, and looking over
your shoulder before changing lanes. The
system is not a replacement for careful
driving and is only to be used as an aid.

The system is a convenience feature that
aids the driver in detecting vehicles that
may have entered the blind spot zone (A).
The detection area is on both sides of the
vehicle extending rearwards from the
exterior mirrors to approximately 3 meters
(10 feet) beyond the bumper. The system
will alert you if certain vehicles enter the
blind spot zone whilst driving.

80

Galaxy/S-MAX (CA1) Vehicles Built From: 25-11-2013, Vehicles Built Up To: 18-12-2014, CG3533en enGBR, Edition date: 11/2013, Second Printing

Windows and Mirrors

Using the system

The system displays a yellow indicator
located in the exterior mirrors.

Note: Both indicators will illuminate briefly
when you switch the ignition on to confirm
that the system is operational.

Note: On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the system is active only in S,
D and N.

The system is only active when you exceed
10 km/h (6 mph). The system is
temporarily deactivated when you select
reverse gear.

System detection and alerts

The system will trigger the alert for vehicles
that enter the blind spot zone from the rear
or merge from the side. Vehicles that you
pass, or vehicles that enter the blind spot
zone from the front, will only trigger the
alert after the vehicle has remained in the
blind spot zone for a short period of time.

Note: Vehicles that pass through the blind
zone quickly (typically less than 2 seconds)
will not trigger the alert.

The system consists of two radar sensors
each located behind the rear wheels
hidden behind the bumpers.

CAUTIONS

Do not place items such as bumper
stickers in this area.

Repairs to these areas using body filler
will affect the performance of the
system.

Detection limitations

There may be certain instances where
vehicles entering and exiting the blind spot
zones may not be detected.

Instances which may cause non-detection:

• Debris build up on the rear bumper
panels in the area of the sensors.

• Certain manoeuvring of vehicles
entering and exiting the blind zone.

• Vehicles passing through the blind zone
at high speed.

• Severe weather conditions.

• Several vehicles passing through the

blind zone following each other closely.

False alerts

Note: False alerts are temporary and will

self correct.

There may be certain instances when the
system will alert with no vehicle present in
the blind zone.

Circumstances where false alerts may
occur:

• Road guardrails.

• Highway concrete walls.

• Construction areas.

• Sharp turns around a building.

• Bushes and trees.

81

Windows and Mirrors

• Cyclists and motorcyclists.

• Coming to a stop with a vehicle directly

behind but very close.

Turning the system on and off

Note: The on or off position will remain until

manually changed.

You can turn the system on and off using
the information display. See Information
Displays (page 89).

When you turn the system off no further
alerts will be received. The BLIS warning
indicator will illuminate. See Warning

Lamps and Indicators (page 85).

Detection errors

Note: The alert indicator in the mirror will

not illuminate.

If the system senses a fault on either
sensor, the system warning symbol will
illuminate and remain on. The information
display will confirm the fault and indicate
whether the left or right side is affected.

Blocked sensor

WARNING

Prior to the system recognizing a
blocked condition and issuing a
warning, the number of missed

objects will increase.

CAUTION

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

Note: Keep the rear bumper area
surrounding the sensors free from dirt, ice
and snow.

If a sensor becomes blocked the system
performance may degrade. A blocked
sensor message may be displayed.

The system will automatically return to
normal operation once two other vehicles
have been detected on both sides.

Trailer towing false alerts

CAUTION

Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly be detected. Switch the

system off to avoid false alerts. See
Information Displays (page 89).

If the vehicle is fitted with a trailer tow
module approved by us, the system will
detect a connected trailer and deactivate.
A confirmation message will be shown in
the information display. See Information
Messages (page 102). The BLIS warning
indicator will illuminate. See Warning
Lamps and Indicators (page 85).
