See Starting the engine (page 132).

Keyless starting

E85766

Press the start button.

Stopping the engine when the
vehicle is moving

WARNING

Switching off the engine when the
vehicle is still moving will result in a

seconds.

See Keyless starting (page 132).

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 (DPF)
(page 137).

CHILD SEATS

E68916

WARNINGS

Secure children that are less than
150 centimetres tall or less than 12
years of age in a suitable, approved

child restraint, in the rear seat.

Original text according to ECE
R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use

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

Read and follow the manufacturer’s

instructions when you are fitting a

child restraint.

Do not modify child restraints in any

way.

Do not hold a child on your lap when

the vehicle is moving.

Do not leave unattended children in

your vehicle.

If your vehicle has been involved in

an accident, have the child restraints

checked by properly trained
technicians.

Note:

Mandatory use of child restraints

varies from country to country.

Only child restraints certified to
ECE-R44.03 (or later) have been tested
and approved for use in your vehicle. A
choice of these are available from your
Dealer.

Child restraints for different
mass groups

Use the correct child restraint as follows:

Baby safety seat

E68918

Secure children that weigh less than 13
kilograms in a rearward facing baby safety
seat (Group 0+) in the rear seat.

22

Child safety

Child safety seat

E68920

Secure children that weigh between 13
and 18 kilograms in a child safety seat
(Group 1) in the rear seat.

BOOSTER CUSHIONS

WARNINGS

Do not install a booster seat or a
booster cushion with only the lap
strap of the seat belt.

Do not install a booster seat or a
booster cushion with a seat belt that
is slack or twisted.

Do not put the seat belt under your
child’s arm or behind its back.

Do not use pillows, books or towels
to boost your child’s height.

Make sure that your children sit in
an upright position.

Secure children that weigh more
than 15 kilograms but are less than
150 centimetres tall in a booster

seat or a booster cushion.

CAUTION

When using a child seat on a rear
seat, make sure that the child seat

rests tightly against the vehicle seat.
It may be necessary to lift or remove the
head restraint. See Head restraints
(page 123).

Booster seat (Group 2)

E70710

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 seat belt over the centre of your
child’s shoulder and the lap strap tightly
across its hips.

WARNINGS

Original text according to ECE
R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use

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

When using a child restraint with a

support leg on a second row seat,

make sure the support leg rests
securely on the floor.

When using a forward facing child

seat on a second row seat, always

remove the head restraint from that

When using a child seat with a seat

belt, make sure that the seat belt is

not slack or twisted.

Note:

When using a child seat on a front

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.

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.

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 120).

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.

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 Quick start (page

11).

29

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

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 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 120).

Never use a seat belt for more than

one person.

Use the correct buckle for each seat

belt.

30

Occupant protection

WARNINGS

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
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.

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.

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

E85817

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

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
unauthorised access to your vehicle
through the doors and the bonnet. It also
protects the audio unit.

Interior sensors

Vehicles with sunroof

E71401

Vehicles without sunroof

E131656

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
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.

45

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 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 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

AUTOWIPERS

CAUTIONS

Do not switch autowipers on in dry
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.

Wipers and washers

If you switch autowipers on, the wipers
will not cycle until water is detected on
the windscreen. The rain sensor will then
continuously measure the amount of
water on the windscreen and adjust the
speed of the wipers automatically.

Adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor
using the rotary control. With low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a lot of water on the
windscreen. With high sensitivity, the
wipers will operate if the sensor detects
a small amount of water on the
windscreen.

blades.

CAUTIONS

You can use the service position in
winter to provide easier access to

the wiper blades for freeing them
from snow and ice. The windscreen
wipers will return to their normal position
as soon as you switch on the ignition so
make sure that the outside of the
windscreen is free from snow and ice
before you switch on the ignition.

The headlamps will come on and go off
automatically depending on the ambient
light.

AUTOMATIC MAIN 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.

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

dipped beam.

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

deactivate the main 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.

55

Lighting

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 windscreen of the vehicle, and
monitors conditions continuously to
decide when to switch the main beam off
and on.

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

•

It is dark enough to require the use of
main beams and

•

there is no traffic or street lighting
ahead and

•

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

The main beam will switch off if:

•

The ambient light is high enough that
main 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 84). See
Autolamps (page 55).

E70719

Turn the switch to the autolamps position.

Note:

The system may take a short time
to initialise after first switching the ignition
on, especially in very dark conditions. The
main 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 84).

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

Manually overriding the system

E70725

Use the main beam lever to switch
between main beam and dipped beam.

56

Lighting

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.

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.

•

Motorway concrete walls.

•

Construction areas.

•

Sharp turns around a building.

•

Bushes and trees.

•

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

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.
