Stopping the engine when the vehicle
is moving

WARNING

Switching off the engine when the

loss of brake and steering assistance.
The steering will not be locked, but higher
effort will be required. When the ignition is

seconds, or press three times within three
seconds.

See Keyless Starting (page 131).

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 (page 135).

CHILD SEATS

E133140

E68916

WARNINGS

Secure children that are less than

150 centimetres (59 inches) tall in a

suitable, approved child restraint, in
the rear seat.

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint on a

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.

WARNINGS

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:

Secure children that weigh between 13 and
18 kilograms (29 and 40 pounds) in a child
safety seat (Group 1) in the rear seat.

BOOSTER SEATS

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

are less than 150 centimetres (59
inches) 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 122).

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.

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 119).

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 At a Glance (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

119).

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.

30

Occupant protection

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
and smoothly.

SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

E87511

Note: Lifting the slider slightly while
pressing the locking button makes it easier
to release the locking mechanism.

To raise or lower, press the locking button
on the adjuster and move as necessary.

31

Occupant protection

SEAT BELT REMINDER

WARNING

The occupant protection system will
only provide optimum protection
when you use the seat belt properly.

The seat belt reminder warning
lamp illuminates and an audible

warning will sound if the driver's
or front seat passenger's seat belt has not
been fastened and the vehicle exceeds a
relatively low speed. It will also illuminate
if the driver's or front seat passenger's seat
belt is unfastened when the vehicle is
moving. The audible warning and warning
lamp will go off after seven minutes.

USING SEAT BELTS DURING PREGNANCY

E68587

WARNING

Position the seat belt correctly for
your safety and that of your unborn
child. Do not use only the lap strap

or the shoulder strap.

Position the lap strap comfortably across
your hips and low beneath your pregnant
abdomen. Position the shoulder strap
between your breasts, above and to the
side of your pregnant abdomen.

DISABLING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG

WARNING

Make sure that the passenger airbag
is disabled when using a rearward
facing child restraint on the front

passenger seat.

E71313

Fitting the passenger airbag
deactivation switch

WARNING

If you need to fit a child restraint on
a seat protected by an operational

airbag in front of it, have a passenger
airbag deactivation switch fitted. Ask your
dealer for further information.

Note: The key switch is located in the glove
compartment with an airbag deactivation
lamp in the instrument panel.

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.

If the message Immobiliser active
appears in the information display, 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. The message Immobiliser
active will appear in the information
display when you switch on the ignition.
Have the immobiliser checked
immediately.

44

Engine immobiliser

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 without overhead console

E71401

Vehicles with overhead console

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.

Note: False alarms can also be triggered
by the auxiliary heater See Auxiliary Heater
(page 112). If you are using the auxiliary
heater, direct the air flow towards the
footwell.

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 current
ignition cycle. If you regularly set the alarm
to reduced guard, select Ask on Exit.

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.

E70315

on the windscreen and adjust the speed
of the wipers automatically.

50

Wipers and Washers

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.

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.

55

Lighting

Note: Keep the windscreen free from

obstructions such as bird droppings, insects
and snow or ice.

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

56

Lighting

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

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.

Do not use the system as a

replacement for using the side and

rear view mirrors, and looking over
your shoulder before changing lanes. The
system is not a replacement for careful
driving and is only to be used as an aid.

The system is a convenience feature that
aids the driver in detecting vehicles that
may have entered the blind spot zone (A).
The detection area is on both sides of the
vehicle extending rearwards from the
exterior mirrors to approximately 3 metres
(10 feet) beyond the bumper. The system
will alert you if certain vehicles enter the
blind spot zone whilst driving.

E124788

Using the system

The system displays a yellow indicator
located in the exterior mirrors.

E124736

Note: Both indicators will illuminate briefly
when you switch the ignition on to confirm
that the system is operational.

Note: On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the system is active only in S,
D and N.

The system is only active when you exceed
10 km/h (6 mph). The system is
temporarily deactivated when you select
reverse gear.

75

Windows and Mirrors

System detection and alerts

The system will trigger the alert for vehicles
that enter the blind spot zone from the rear
or merge from the side. Vehicles that you
pass, or vehicles that enter the blind spot
zone from the front, will only trigger the
alert after the vehicle has remained in the
blind spot zone for a short period of time.

Note: Vehicles that pass through the blind
zone quickly (typically less than 2 seconds)
will not trigger the alert.

The system consists of two radar sensors
each located behind the rear wheels
hidden behind the bumpers.

CAUTIONS

Do not place items such as bumper
stickers in this area.

Repairs to these areas using body filler
will affect the performance of the
system.

E124741

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.

• Cyclists and motorcyclists.

• 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
the information display. See Information
Displays (page 84).

When you turn the system off no further
alerts will be received. The BLIS warning
indicator will illuminate. See Warning

Lamps and Indicators (page 80).

Detection errors

Note: The alert indicator in the mirror will

not illuminate.

76

Windows and Mirrors

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.

Trailer towing false alerts

CAUTION

Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not

correctly be detected. Switch the
system off to avoid false alerts. See
Information Displays (page 84).

If the vehicle is fitted with a trailer tow
module approved by us, the system will
detect a connected trailer and deactivate.
A confirmation message will be shown in
the information display. See Information
Messages (page 97). The BLIS warning
indicator will illuminate. See Warning
Lamps and Indicators (page 80).
