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.
See Automatic Main Beam Control (page 55).

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
loss of brake and steering assistance. The steering will not be locked, but higher effort will be required. When the ignition is switched off some electrical circuits, warning lamps and indicators may also be OFF.
Press and hold the start button for two 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
seat protected by an air bag in front of it!
Read and follow the manufacturers
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:
Baby safety seat
E68918
Secure children that weigh less than 13 kilograms (29 pounds) 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 (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 childs 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 (33 pounds) but
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 childs shoulder and the lap strap tightly across its hips.

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS
Please consult your Dealer for the latest details relating to Ford recommended child seats.
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 seat. See Head Restraints (page 122).
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 seat, always adjust the front passenger seat to its fully rearwards position. If it proves difficult to tighten the lap section of the seat belt without slack remaining, adjust the seatback to the fully upright position and raise the height of the seat. See Seats (page 119).

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.
