ABOUT THIS HANDBOOK

Thank you for choosing Ford. We
recommend that you take some time to
get to know your vehicle by reading this
handbook. Themore thatyou know about
it, the greater the safety and pleasureyou
will get from driving it.

Note:

This handbook describes product
features and options available throughout
the range, sometimes even before they
are generally available. It may describe
options not fitted to your vehicle.

Note:

Always use and operate your
vehicle in line with all applicable laws and
regulations.

Note:

Pass on this handbook when
selling your vehicle. It is an integral part of
the vehicle.

This vehicle has received both the
endorsement of TÜV, the accredited
international testing organisation, and
been awarded the British Allergy
Foundation’s Seal of Approval’ for its
allergy-friendly properties.

All materials used in the manufacture of
the interior of this vehicle meet strict
requirements of the TÜV TOXPROOF
Criteria Catalogue for Vehicle Interiors by

considers that these products may, in
proper use, reduce exposure to
chromium, nickel, latex, grass pollen and
other sensitizing substances and volatile
organic compounds.

Assessment carried out by Allergy UK
indicate that an individual’s exposure can
be reduced but this does not mean that
an individual’s allergic symptoms will
necessarily diminish. Allergy UK’s opinion
applies only to the products and allergens

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: ExtremeHazard! Donot use

a rearward facing child restraint on
a seat protected by an airbag in front of
it!

Wear a seat beltand 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 109).

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 cloudof 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.

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.

24

Occupant protection

For item location: See Quick start (page

8).

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

E72658

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

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. 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 beltand 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 109).

Never use a seat belt for more than

one person.

Use the correct buckle for each seat

belt.

25

Occupant protection

WARNINGS

Do not use a seat belt that is slack
or twisted.

Do notwear 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
retractors 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.

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS

WARNING

Insert the tongue into the buckle
until you hear a distinct click. You
have not fastened the seat belt

properly if you do not hear a click.

E74124

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 andbattery back-upsounder.

•

Category one alarm with interior
sensors, batteryback-up sounderand
tilt sensors.

Perimeter alarm

The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against
unauthorised access to your vehicle
through the doors and the bonnet. It also
protects the audio unit.

Interior sensors

E71401

WARNING

The sensors in the interior lamp unit
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
unauthorised 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 travelling 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 bonnet 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.

•

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

41

Alarm

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 travelling on a ferry.

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 alarmwith full guard,
leave the vehicle without pressing the OK
button.

Selecting full or reduced guard

Note:

Selecting Reduced does not set
the alarmpermanently to reduced guard.

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 4ºC
(39ºF).

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.
