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.
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.

DATA RECORDING

A large number of electronic components of your vehicle contain data storage modules temporarily or permanently storing technical data about the condition of the vehicle, events and errors.
In general, this technical information documents the condition of parts, modules, systems or the environment:
Operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels).
Status messages of the vehicle and its individual components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions/rotational speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration).
Malfunction and defects in important system components (e.g. lighting and brake system).
Vehicle reactions in particular driving situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag, activation of the stability regulation system).
Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature).
These data are exclusively technical and help identification and correction of errors as well as optimisation of vehicle functions. Motion profiles indicating travelled routes cannot be created with these data.
If services are used (e.g. repair works, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance), employees of the service network (including manufacturers) are able to read out this technical information from the event and error data storage modules using special diagnostic devices. If required, you will receive further information. After an error has been corrected, these data are deleted from the error storage module or they are constantly overwritten.
When using the vehicle, situations may occur in which these technical data related to other information (accident report, damages on the vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person - possibly, with the assistance of an expert.

Introduction
Additional functions contractually agreed upon with the client (e.g. vehicle location in emergency cases) allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.

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 Owners 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.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

Using mobile communications equipment is becoming increasingly important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However, you must not compromise your own or others safety when using such equipment. Mobile communications can enhance personal safety and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications equipment to avoid negating these benefits. Mobile communication equipment includes, but is not limited to, cellular phones, pagers, portable email devices, text messaging devices and portable two-way radios.
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.

INSTALLING CHILD SEATS

WARNINGS
Use an approved child seat to secure children less than 59 inches (150 centimeters) tall in the rear seat.
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
You must switch the passenger
airbag on following the removal of
the child seat. See Passenger Airbag (page 30).
Read and follow the manufacturers
instructions when you are installing
a child seat.
Do not modify child seats in any way.
WARNINGS
Do not hold a child on your lap when your vehicle is moving.
Do not leave unattended children in your vehicle.
If your vehicle has been involved in a crash, have the child seats checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: Mandatory use of child seats varies from country to country.
Only child seats certified to ECE-R129, ECE-R44.03 (or later) have been tested and approved for use in your vehicle. A choice of these are available from an authorized dealer.
Child Seats for Different Mass Groups
Use the correct child seat as follows:
Baby Safety Seat
Secure children that weigh less than 29 pounds (13 kilograms) in a rearward facing baby safety seat (Group 0+) on the rear seat.
18
Galaxy / S-MAX (CDR) , CG3646en enGBR, Edition date: 01/2015, First Printing

Child Safety

Child Safety Seat
Secure children that weigh between 29 and 40 pounds (13 and 18 kilograms) in a child safety seat (Group 1) on the rear seat.
Booster Seats
WARNINGS
Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with only the lap strap of the safety belt.
Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with a safety belt that is slack or twisted.
Do not put the safety belt under your childs arm or behind their back.
Do not use pillows, books or towels to boost your child’s height.
Make sure that your children sit in an upright position.
Note: Make sure the child seat rests tightly against the vehicle seat. If necessary adjust the seat backrest to an upright position. It may be necessary to lift or remove the head restraint. See Head Restraints (page 125).
Note: When using a child seat on a rear seat, adjust both seating rows in a position to prevent contact with the rear passenger, child feet or child legs.
Booster Seat (Group 2)
Secure children that weigh more than 33 pounds (15 kilograms) but are less than 59 inches (150 centimeters) tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion.
We recommend that you use a booster seat that combines a cushion with a backrest instead of a booster cushion only. The raised seating position will allow you to position the shoulder strap of the adult safety belt over the center of your child’s shoulder and the lap strap tightly across their hips.
19
Galaxy / S-MAX (CDR) , CG3646en enGBR, Edition date: 01/2015, First Printing
Child Safety
Booster Cushion (Group 3)
ISOFIX and iSize 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 seat, make sure that you know the correct mass group and ISOFIX size class for the intended seating locations. See Child Seat Positioning (page 21).
Your vehicle has ISOFIX anchor points that accommodate universally approved ISOFIX child seats.
The ISOFIX system comprises two rigid attachment arms on the child seat that attach to anchor points on the outboard rear seats, where the cushion and backrest meet. Tether anchor points are located behind the outboard rear seats for child seats with a top tether.
Attaching a Child Seat with Top Tethers
WARNINGS
Do not attach a tether strap to anything other than the correct top tether strap anchor point.
Make sure that the top tether strap is not slack or twisted and is properly located on the anchor point.
Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions for installing a child seat with a top tether.
Top Tether Anchor Points
The top tether anchor points are located at the rear of the second row seat backrest.

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS
See an authorized dealer for the latest details relating to our recommended child seats.
Extreme Hazard! Never use a rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an active airbag in front of it. Death or serious injury to the child can occur.
When using a child seat with a
support leg, the support leg must
rest securely on the floor.
When using a child seat with a safety
belt, make sure that the safety belt
is not slack or twisted.
The child seat must rest tightly
against the vehicle seat. It must not
touch the head restraint. If necessary remove the head restraint. See Head Restraints (page 125).

FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS

WARNINGS
You have not fastened the safety belt correctly if you do not hear a
distinct click. Failure to fasten the safety belt correctly could reduce its effectiveness and increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Make sure that your safety belt is
securely stored away and is not
outside your vehicle when closing the door. Failure of an occupant to be able to use a trapped safety belt increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
The retractor for the rear center seat belt is located in the roof.
To fasten the seat belt:
1. Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.

2. Insert the smaller tongue into the black buckle to the left of the center seat.
3. Pull the larger tongue across the lap and insert it into the buckle to the right of the center seat.
Note: If in constant use, you can leave the belt buckled in the black buckle. When it is not in use, or when you fold or move the rear seats, you should release the belt from the black buckle.
Note: The rear outer safety belts can lock if you return the seatback from a folded position to the upright position forcefully. Should the safety belt lock, recline the seat using the recline adjustment. See Rear Seats (page 131).
Using Safety Belts During Pregnancy
WARNING
Position the safety belt correctly for your safety and that of your unborn
child. Do not use only the lap strap or the shoulder strap. Failure to adjust the safety belt correctly could reduce its effectiveness and increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Pregnant women should always wear their safety belt. The lap belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt should be positioned low across the hips below the belly and worn as tight as comfort will allow. The shoulder belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt should be positioned to cross the middle of the shoulder and the center of the chest.

SAFETY BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

WARNING
Position the safety belt height adjuster so that the belt rests across
the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt and increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder.
To adjust the shoulder belt height:
1. Pull the button and slide the height
adjuster up or down.
2. Release the button and pull down on
the height adjuster to make sure it is locked in place.

Safety Belts

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS
Extreme Hazard! Never use a rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an active airbag in front of it. Death or serious injury to the child can occur.
Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Wear a safety belt and keep
sufficient distance between yourself
and the steering wheel. Only when you use the safety belt correctly, can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page 125). Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
safety belts must be carried out by an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Keep the areas in front of the airbags
free from obstruction. Do not affix
anything to or over the airbag covers. In the event of a crash, hard objects could cause serious personal injury or death.
Do not puncture the seat with sharp
objects. This could damage and
adversely affect deployment of the airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
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 AIRBAG

The airbag will deploy during significant 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 occupant, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.

The airbag will deploy during a significant frontal crash or crashes 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 occupant cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal crashes, sideways crashes, rear crashes or overturns, the airbag will not deploy.
Switching the Passenger Airbag Off
WARNING
You must switch the passenger airbag off when using a rearward
facing child seat on the front passenger seat. Never use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an active airbag in front of it. Death or serious injury to the child can occur.

rearward child seat on the front passenger seat. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Turn the switch to position B. When you switch the ignition on, check that
the airbag deactivation warning lamp does not illuminate.

SIDE AIRBAGS

WARNING
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by an authorized dealer.
The airbags are located inside the seatback of the front seats. There is a label attached to the side of the seatback to indicate this.
The airbag will deploy during significant lateral collisions. It might also deploy during significant frontal collisions. The airbag will not deploy in minor lateral and frontal collisions, rear collisions, or overturns.

DRIVER KNEE AIRBAG

WARNING
Do not attempt to open the airbag cover.
The 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 drivers knees and the steering column. During overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the knee airbag will not deploy.
For item location: See Instrument Panel
Overview (page 16). Note: The airbag has a lower deployment
threshold than the front airbags. During a minor collision, it is possible that only the knee airbag will deploy.

Keys and Remote Controls

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

MyKey allows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to promote good driving habits. All but one of the keys can be activated with these restricted modes.
Any keys that remain unprogrammed are referred to as administrator keys or admin keys. They can be used to:
Create a MyKey.
Program configurable MyKey settings.
Clear all MyKey features.
When you have created a MyKey, you can access the following information by using the information display to determine:
How many admin keys and MyKeys are programmed to your vehicle.
The total distance your vehicle traveled with a MyKey.
Note: Switch the vehicle on to use the system.

Note: For vehicles equipped with push-button start, when both a MyKey and an admin remote transmitter are present, the admin remote transmitter will be recognized by the vehicle while switching the vehicle on to start the vehicle.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be changed by an admin key user:
Safety belt reminder. You cannot disable this feature. The audio system will mute when the front seat passengers safety belts are not fastened.
Early low fuel or charge. The low-fuel or low charge warning activates earlier, giving the MyKey user more time to refuel or recharge.
Driver assist features, if equipped on your vehicle, are forced on: parking aid and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with cross traffic alert.
Configurable Settings
With an admin key, you can configure certain MyKey settings when you first create a MyKey and before you recycle the key or restart the vehicle. You can also change the settings afterward with an admin key.
A vehicle speed limit can be set. Warnings will be shown in the display followed by an audible tone when your vehicle reaches the set speed. You cannot override the set speed by fully depressing the accelerator pedal or by setting cruise control.
WARNING
Do not set MyKey maximum speed limit to a limit that will prevent the
driver from maintaining a safe speed considering posted speed limits and prevailing road conditions. The driver is always responsible to drive in accordance with local laws and prevailing conditions. Failure to do so could result in accident or injury.

Note: Make sure that you close the liftgate before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure, like a garage or a parking structure. You could damage the liftgate or its components.
Note: Do not hang anything, for example a bike rack, from the spoiler, glass or liftgate. This could damage the liftgate and its components.
The liftgate only operates with the transmission in park (P).
One warning tone sounds as the liftgate begins to power close. Three short chimes indicate a problem with the open or close request, caused by:
The ignition is on and the transmission is not in park (P).
The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage.
The vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).
If the liftgate starts to close after it has fully opened, this indicates there may be excessive weight on the liftgate or a possible gas strut failure. A repetitive chime sounds and the liftgate closes under control. Remove any excessive weight from the liftgate. If the liftgate continues to close after opening, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
Opening and Closing the Liftgate
WARNING
Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate area before using the power liftgate control.

When operating the power liftgate after you have programmed a lower height than full-open, you can fully open the liftgate by manually pushing it upward to the maximum open position.
Obstacle Detection
When Closing
The system stops when it detects an obstacle. Two short tones sound and the system reverses to open. Once you remove the obstacle, you can power close the liftgate.
Note: Entering your vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, let the power liftgate close completely before you enter your vehicle. Before driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar message or warning indicator. Failure to do this could result in unintentionally leaving the liftgate open while driving.
When Opening
The system stops when it detects an obstacle and two short tones sound. Once you remove the obstacle, you can continue to operate the liftgate.

KEYLESS ENTRY

General Information
The system will not function if:
Your vehicle battery has no charge.

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.

To switch the system on:
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Switch the lighting control to the off or
autolamp position.

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 high beam on or off.
A manual override may be required
when approaching other road users
such as cyclists.
Do not use the system in fog.
In cold and severe weather
conditions the system may not
function. A manual override may be necessary in these cases.
The system may not deactivate the
high beam if the lights of oncoming
vehicles are hidden by obstacles (for example guard rails).

WARNINGS
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.
Note: Reflective road signs may be detected as oncoming traffic and the headlamps will be switched to low beam.
Note: Always fit Ford Original Parts when replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may reduce system performance.
The system will automatically switch on high beams 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 high beam before it can distract other road users. Low beam will remain on.
A camera sensor is centrally mounted behind the windshield of your vehicle. This monitors conditions continuously to decide when to switch the high beams on and off.
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
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
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
approximately 19 mph (30 km/h).
The camera sensor is too hot or becomes blocked.
You switch the rear fog lamps on.
Activating the System
Switch the system on using the information display. See Information Displays (page

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Shows the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating temperature, the needle remains in the center section. If the needle enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the engine, switch the ignition off and determine the cause once the engine has cooled down.
Note: Do not restart the engine until the cause of overheating has been resolved.
WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot.
Fuel Gauge
Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge indicates approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F when you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points to E after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle position is normal:
It may take a short time for the needle to reach F after leaving the gas station. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station.
The fuel amount dispensed into the tank is a little less or more than the gauge indicated. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station.
If the gas station nozzle shuts off before the tank is full, try a different gas pump nozzle.
