ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS

E68945

You can fit ISOFIX child restraints using
the ISOFIX anchor points.

Your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX anchor
points that accommodate universally
approved ISOFIX child restraints.

The ISOFIX system comprises of two rigid
attachment arms on the child restraint that
attach to anchor points on the rear seats,
where the cushion and backrest meet.

A third anchor point has been provided for
child seats that are equipped with a top
tether, available for use in the forward
facing configuration.

The top tether anchors in your vehicle are
located on the floor of the luggage
compartment.

The tether strap should be routed beneath
the raised rear head restraint, to the anchor
point on the floor of the luggage
compartment. The anchor point is
identified by a pictogram.

After installing the child safety seat,
tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING

Use an anti-rotation device when
using the ISOFIX system. We
recommend that you use a top tether

or a support leg.

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 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. See Sitting in the
Correct Position (page 89).

Have repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column, seats, airbags and

seat 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

E74302

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.

Side airbags

E72658

Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback
of the front seats. A label indicates that
side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.

23

Occupant protection

The side airbags will deploy during
significant lateral collisions. Only the airbag
on the side affected by the collision will
deploy. 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

E75004

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. Only the airbag
on the side affected by the collision will
deploy. 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.

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, can it hold you in a
position to achieve its optimum effect. See
Sitting in the Correct Position (page

89).

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.

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

Status after a collision

WARNING

Seat belts subjected to strain, as a

result of an accident, should be

renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician.

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.

DISARMING THE ENGINE IMMOBILISER

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

The indicator in the instrument cluster will
come on for approximately three seconds
and then go out. If the indicator stays on
for one minute or flashes for approximately
one minute and then repeatedly at irregular
intervals, your key has not been recognised.
Remove the key and try again.

If you are unable to start the engine with a
correctly coded key, this indicates a
malfunction. Have the immobiliser checked
immediately.

36

Engine immobiliser

ARMING THE ALARM

The system is armed as soon as the vehicle
is locked and acts as a deterrent to
unauthorised persons who attempt to
open the doors, bonnet or luggage
compartment, or remove the audio system.

The alarm sounds for 30 seconds if an
unauthorised person opens a door, the
luggage compartment or the bonnet. The
hazard flasher lights will flash for five
minutes.

Any attempt to start the engine without a
valid key or to remove the audio system
sounds the alarm again.

Automatic arming delay

The 20 seconds arming delay begins when
the bonnet, luggage compartment and all
doors are closed.

Interior sensors

E71401

WARNING

This system functions correctly only
if all windows are completely closed.

In addition to this, the sensors
located in the interior lamp unit must not
be covered up. The system should not be
activated if any persons, animals or other
moving objects are inside the vehicle.

This system acts as a deterrent against
unauthorised intrusion by sensing any
movement within the vehicle.

Unauthorised entry into the vehicle’s
interior will trigger the alarm in the same
way as the anti-theft system.

The sensors are located in the interior lamp
unit.

All except Britain and Ireland

The interior sensing alarm is armed
together with the double locking system.

Britain and Ireland only

The interior sensing alarm is armed

weather conditions. The rain sensor

is very sensitive and the wipers may
operate if dirt, mist or flies hit the
windscreen.

Replace the wiper blades as soon as

they begin to leave bands of water

and smears. If you do not replace
them, the rain sensor will continue to
detect water on the windscreen and the
wipers will operate, even though the
majority of the windscreen is dry.

Fully defrost the windscreen in icy

conditions before you switch

autowipers on.

Switch autowipers off before you

enter a car wash.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside air

Keep the air intakes forward of the
windscreen free from obstruction (snow,
leaves etc.) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.

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.

Heating

Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.

Air conditioning

Note: The air conditioning operates only

when the temperature is above 4°C (39°F).
Note: If you use the air conditioning, the

fuel consumption of your vehicle will be
higher.

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.

General information on controlling
the interior climate

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the interior

Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some of
the air towards the windscreen and the
door windows.

Cooling the interior

Direct the air towards your face.

the dual-zone system allows you to set
different temperatures for the driver's and
front passenger's side.

Note: Avoid adjusting the settings when
the vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold.
The automatic climate control adjusts to
the current circumstances automatically.
For the system to function properly, the side
and centre vents should be fully open.

Note: The sunload sensor is located on top
of the instrument panel. Do not cover the
sensor with any objects.

Note: At low outside temperatures, when
the system is in auto mode, the air stream

AUXILIARY HEATER

Parking heater

WARNINGS

The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or

dust or in enclosed spaces.

The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10

minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing.

Note: The parking heater will only operate
if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6 gallons) of
fuel in the fuel tank and the ambient
temperature is below 15°C (59°F). The
heater will not operate if the battery is low.

Note: The heating depends on the outside
air temperature.

Note: When the parking heater is activated,
exhaust fumes may come from under the
sides of the vehicle. This is normal.

Note: On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is
dependent on the temperature, air
distribution and blower control settings.

The parking heater operates independently
of the vehicle heater by heating the
engine’s coolant circuit. It is fed from the
vehicle fuel tank. You can also use it while
the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle
heater warm up the interior more quickly.

85

Climate Control

Used properly, the parking heater provides
the following benefits:

• It preheats the interior of the vehicle.

• It keeps the windows clear of ice in the

event of frost and prevents
condensation.

• It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating temperature
sooner.

To prevent the battery from discharging:

• Once the parking heater has performed
one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only be
carried out if you have started the
vehicle’s engine in between.

• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.

Programming the parking heater

Note: The programmed time is the time at

which you wish the vehicle to be warm and
ready to drive, not the time at which the
heater switches on.

Note: You must programme the times at
least 70 minutes in advance of the time you
wish to set.

Note: You must set the time and date
correctly.

head restraint, seat belt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a collision. We recommend that you:

• sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.

• do not recline the seatback more than
30 degrees.

• adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forwards as possible,
remaining comfortable.

• keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 250
millimetres (10 inches) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.

• hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.

• bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
