AUTO-START-STOP SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

The Auto-Start-Stop device automatically stops the engine each time the vehicle is stationary and starts it again when the driver wants to resume driving.

This improves the efficiency of the vehicle by reducing fuel consumption, the emission of harmful gases and noise pollution.

The system operates every time the car is started.

Note if climate comfort is to be favoured, the Start&Stop system can be disabled, for a continuous operation of the climate control system.

OPERATING MODES

Engine stopping mode

With the vehicle stationary, the engine stops with the gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal released.

Note The Auto-Start-Stop function is automatically turned off if the speed of 10 km/h is not exceeded for about 2 seconds, to prevent the engine from being repeatedly stopped when driving at walking pace.

The engine being stopped is signalled by a symbol on the display.

Engine restarting mode

Depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine.

MANUAL ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION

The device can be activated/deactivated by the button in the dashboard (see “Controls” paragraph).

After registering the mobile phone, when you first connect, Ford Audio will say “Welcome”. In the subsequent registration procedures or connection of the same phone, this message will not be said anymore.

❒

Ford Audio asks you if you want to copy the mobile phone phonebook just registered on the Ford Audio system. You are advised to copy the phonebook. To proceed with copying, say “Yes”; if you do not want to copy the phonebook, say “No”.

❒

On some compatible mobile phones the names in the directory are not copied automatically, but have to be transferred by the user using the mobile phone keypad. If Ford Audio asks you to do this, perform this procedure following the instructions specific to your mobile phone and press ß/MAIN when you have finished.

Warning light Ycoming on when driving

❒

If the warning light Yturns on, this means that the system is running a self-diagnosis (for example due to a voltage drop).

❒

If the problem persists, contact the Ford Dealership.

SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some of the components of your vehicle. These labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component.

THE FORD CODE SYSTEM

To further protect your car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

Each time the car is started by turning the ignition key to MAR – ON, the Ford CODE system control unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.

If, during ignition, the code is not correctly recognized, the light

lights up on the instrument panel. In this case, turn the key to STOP

and then back to MAR – ON; if the lock continues, possibly try with the other keys provided with the car. Contact a Ford Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be stored by the system electronic control unit. Contact the Ford Dealership to have new keys (up to eight) stored with the code.

Violent shocks may damage the electronic components inside the key.

❒

MAR – ON: driving position. All electrical devices can operate.

❒

AVV: engine starting.

The ignition device is fitted with a safety system that forces the driver to return the ignition key to STOP before repeating the starting operation, if the engine does not start up.

Never extract the key

while the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel would automatically lock as soon as you try to turn it. This holds true for vehicles being towed as well.

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out whatever after-market operation involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that could badly affect performance and safety, cause the lapse of warranty and also result in non-compliance of the car with homologation requirements.

Instrument background colour and type may vary according to the version.

TACHOMETER

This shows the speed of the vehicle.

REV COUNTER

This indicates the engine rpm.

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE

This shows the amount of fuel in the tank. The reserve warning light turns on to

indicate that approximately 5 litres of fuel are left in the tank.

Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: any gaps in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50° C.

The warning light may light up (and a message on the multifunction display may appear in certain versions) to indicate that the coolant temperature is too high; in this case, stop the engine and contact the Ford Dealership.

B Time (always displayed, even with key

extracted and front doors closed)

C Gear Shift Indication D Odometer (display of covered

km or miles)

GEAR SHIFT INDICATION

On vehicles with a manual gearbox, the gear shift indicator suggests gear changes to the driver (shift up or shift down) through a special display on the control panel.

This suggestion to change gear is designed to improve consumption and ensure the best driving style.

NB The indication on the instrument panel remains on until the driver changes gear or until the driving conditions return to a situation where a gear change is not required, to reduce consumption.
