ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS

WARNING

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

or a support leg.

Note: When you are purchasing an ISOFIX restraint, make sure that you know the correct mass group and ISOFIX size class for the intended seating locations. See Child Seat Positioning (page 17).

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 2nd row seats, where the cushion and backrest meet. Tether anchor points are fitted to the back panel trim for child restraints with a top tether.

Attaching a child restraint with a top tether

WARNING

Do not attach a tether strap to anything other than the correct tether anchor point.

Double cab

1. Remove the head restraint. See Head Restraints (page 78).

2. Place the child seat on the back seat cushion and fold the relevant seatback forward. See Rear Seats (page 78).

3. Route the tether strap to the anchor point.

WARNING

Make sure the top tether strap is not slack or twisted and is properly located on the anchor point.

Child Safety

4. Push the seatback to the upright position.

WARNINGS

Make sure that the seatback is secure and fully engaged in the catch.

Make sure the safety seat is fitted correctly. There is a risk of injury.

5. Push the child seat back firmly to engage the ISOFIX lower anchor points.

6. Tighten the tether strap in line with the child seat manufacturers instructions.

We recommend that you use a tether strap where fitted.

BOOSTER SEATS

WARNINGS

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 (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 78).

Booster seat (Group 2)

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.

Child Safety

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 74).

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

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

9).

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

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

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

74).

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.

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.

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

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

Occupant protection

SEAT BELT REMINDER

WARNING

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

Type 1: The seat belt warning lamp will be illuminated for 6 seconds when the ignition is turned on to remind the driver to fasten the seatbelt.

Type 2: The seat belt warning lamp will be illuminated at any time when the drivers seat belt is not fastened.

Type 3: The seat belt reminder warning lamp illuminates and an audible warning will sound if the driver or front passenger seat belt has not been fastened and the vehicle exceeds a relatively low speed. It will also illuminate if either of the seat belt is unfastened when the vehicle is moving. The audible warning will go off after five minutes but the seat belt reminder warning lamp will remain on until the seat belt is fastened.

Deactivating the seat belt reminder

See your dealer.

USING SEAT BELTS DURING PREGNANCY

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.

Occupant protection

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.

If the airbag warning lamp illuminates or flashes when you are driving, this indicates a malfunction. Remove the child restraint and have the system checked immediately.

Disabling the passenger airbag

Occupant protection

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES

CAUTIONS

The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by

other short distance radio transmissions (e.g. amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm systems). If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.

Check your vehicle is locked before

leaving it unattended. This will

safeguard against any potential malicious frequency blocking.

Note: You could unlock the doors if you press the buttons on the remote control unintentionally.

The operating range between your remote control and your vehicle varies depending on the environment.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL

Note: Additional remote controls can be

programmed only if the vehicle is supplied with atleast one remote control.

A maximum of eight remote controls (including the one supplied with your vehicle) can be programmed. The remote controls must remain inside the vehicle during the programming procedure.

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.

The indicator in the instrument cluster will flash to confirm that the system is operating.

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.

Engine immobiliser

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Alarm system

Your vehicle may be equipped with one of the following alarm systems:

• Perimeter alarm with interior sensors.

• Perimeter alarm with interior sensors

and battery back-up sounder.

Interior sensors

The interior sensors are activated when you arm the alarm. See Arming the alarm (page 36).

WARNINGS

The sensors in the interior lamp unit must not be covered up. Do not

activate the alarm if any persons, animals or other moving objects are inside the vehicle.

The interior sensors may not detect

movement with in the cab correctly

if the rear seat base in the double cab is left in the upright position.

Do not leave the glasses holder open.

Note: This may result in false alarms if animals or moving objects are inside the vehicle.

Note: False alarms can also be triggered by the fuel fired heater. If you are using the fuel fired heater, direct the air flow towards the footwell.

The sensors act as a deterrent against unauthorised intrusion by sensing any movement within the vehicle.

Alarm Horn

The alarm horn will sound a siren when the alarm is triggered. It is armed when you lock the vehicle. This will not sound if someone disconnects the vehicle battery or the alarm horn itself.

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 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.

Triggering the alarm

Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any of the following ways:

• If someone opens a door or the bonnet without a valid key or remote control.

• If someone removes the multi function display.

• 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 battery or the battery back-up sounder itself.

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.

Alarm

ARMING THE ALARM

To arm the alarm, lock the vehicle. See

Locks (page 30).

DISARMING THE ALARM

Disarm and silence the alarm by unlocking the doors with the key and inserting the key into the ignition switch with a correctly coded key within 12 seconds, or unlocking the doors with the remote control.

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

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER

The DPF forms part of the emissions reduction systems fitted to your vehicle. It filters harmful diesel particulates (soot) from the exhaust gas.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Regeneration

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.

CAUTION

Avoid running out of fuel.

Unlike a normal filter which requires periodic replacement, the DPF has been designed to regenerate, or clean itself to maintain operating efficiency. The regeneration process takes place automatically. However, some driving conditions mean that you may need to support the regeneration process.

If you drive only short distances or your journeys contain frequent stopping and starting, where there is increased acceleration and deceleration, occasional trips with the following conditions will assist the regeneration process:

• Drive your vehicle at a constant speed,

preferably on a main road or motorway, for up to 20 minutes.

• Avoid prolonged idling and always

observe speed limits and road conditions.

• Do not switch off the ignition.

• Use a lower gear than normal to

maintain a higher engine speed during this journey, where appropriate.

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Vehicles with a turbocharger

CAUTION

Do not switch the engine off when it is running at high speed or

immediately after heavy towing. If you do, the turbocharger will continue running after the engine oil pressure has dropped to zero. This will lead to premature turbocharger bearing wear.

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until the engine has reached idle speed and then switch it off.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS

Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle stops the second time. Additional

fuel will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank which could lead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillage could be hazardous to other road users.

Do not use any kind of flames or heat

near the fuel system. The fuel system

is under pressure. There is a risk of injury if the fuel system is leaking.

FUEL QUALITY - PETROL

CAUTION

Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with additives containing other metallic compounds (e.g. manganese-based).

They could damage the emission system.

Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel.

Note: The use of additives or other engine treatments not approved by Ford is not recommended.

Note: Ethanol blended fuels up to 10% (E10) is acceptable to be used in this vehicle.

Use minimum 91 octane unleaded petrol that meets the relevant national specification.

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL

WARNING

Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or

other liquids. This could cause a

chemical reaction.

CAUTIONS

Do not add kerosene, paraffin or petrol to diesel. This could cause damage to the fuel system.

Use diesel that meets the relevant national specification.

Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel.

Note: The use of additives or other engine treatments not approved by Ford is not recommended.

Note: Bio-diesel blended fuels up to 10% (B10) is acceptable to be used in this vehicle.

Long-term storage

Most diesel fuels contain bio-diesel, it is recommended to fill the tank with purely mineral diesel (where available) or add an anti-oxidant prior to long-term storage of your vehicle exceeding two months. Your dealer can help you with a suitable anti-oxidant.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

WARNING

Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other

combustible materials. The exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during use, and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.

Driving with a catalytic converter

CAUTIONS

Avoid running out of fuel.

Do not crank the engine for long periods.

Fuel and Refuelling

CAUTIONS

Do not push-start or tow-start your vehicle. Use booster cables. See Jump-Starting the Vehicle (page

155). Do not switch the ignition off when

driving.

FUEL FILLER FLAP

WARNINGS

Take care when refuelling to avoid spilling any residual fuel from the fuel nozzle.

Do not use any kind of flames or heat near the fuel system. The fuel system is under pressure. There is a risk of

injury if the fuel system is leaking.

CAUTION

If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel filler flap briefly from a distance not

less than 20 centimetres (8 inches).

Note: Central locking also locks and unlocks the fuel filler flap. See Locking and Unlocking (page 30).

Vehicles equipped with cap system

1. Press the flap to open it.

2. Open the flap fully until it engages. Turn the fuel filler cap anti-clockwise.

3. When the filler cap is removed , a hissing noise may be heard. This is normal and should be disregarded.

5. Close and push the fuel filler flap to lock it.

Fuel and Refuelling

Vehicle equipped with capless system

1. Press the flap to open it.

2. Close and push the fuel filler flap to lock it.

When you insert the fuel nozzle, a spring loaded inhibitor will open if the correct size nozzle is detected. This helps to avoid filling up with the wrong fuel.

Note: A funnel is located in the glove box. Use this when refilling with a fuel can.

Filling

WARNING

Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle stops the second time. Additional

fuel will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank which could lead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillage could be hazardous to other road users.

Fully insert the fuel nozzle. Lower the nozzle so that it locks in place on the fuel pipe opening. Keep it resting at this position and initiate refuelling by pulling the trigger.

WARNING

We recommend that you wait at

least 10 seconds before removing the

fuel nozzle to allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank.

Fuel and Refuelling

Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to remove it.

REFUELLING

CAUTION

Do not attempt to start the engine if you have filled the fuel tank with the

incorrect fuel. This could damage the engine. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician immediately.

The CO2 and fuel consumption figures are derived from laboratory tests according to EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC and subsequent amendments and are carried out by all vehicle manufacturers.

They are intended as a comparison between makes and models of vehicles. They are not intended to represent the real world fuel consumption you may get from your vehicle. Real world fuel consumption is governed by many factors including; driving style, high speed driving, stop/start driving, air conditioning usage, the accessories fitted and towing etc.

Your Ford dealer can give you advice on improving your fuel consumption.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION

Selecting reverse gear

CAUTION

Do not engage reverse gear when the

vehicle is moving. This can cause

damage to the transmission.

Note: Fully depress the clutch pedal and wait for three seconds before you select reverse gear.

On some vehicles it is necessary to raise the collar whilst selecting reverse gear.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

Note: A clicking sound from the driveline

may be heard while shifting between ranges, which is normal.

Two-wheel drive, high range (2H)

Use for all normal road driving and also for off-road driving across dry, level terrain.

Four-wheel drive, high range (4H)

WARNING

Do not use four-wheel drive 4H for normal road driving.

Note: The four-wheel drive indicator lamp will come on when the transfer shift switch is in the 4H position. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 58).

Use for off-road driving.

Four-wheel drive, low range (4L)

WARNING

Do not use four-wheel drive 4L for normal road driving.

Note: The four-wheel drive low range 4L and four-wheel drive indicator lamps will come on when the transfer shift switch is in the 4L position. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 58).

Transmission

Use for more extreme off-road conditions, such as steep ascents and descents.

Also use when low speed manoeuvring is necessary, such as reversing a trailer or negotiating a boulder-strewn river bed.

Shifting between 2H and 4H

Note: When shifting to 2H, all the stability

control (ESP) functions are reactivated.

This can be done with the vehicle moving up to 110 km/h (68 mph), but only with the accelerator pedal released. During the shift the indicator lamp will flash.

Shifting between 2H and 4L

Note: When shifting to 4L the Engine

Traction Control and Trailer Stability Control are deactivated. Hill Descent Control, Hill Start Assist and Brake Traction Control remain active.

Note: When shifting to 2H, all the stability control (ESP) functions are reactivated.

1. Stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so.

2. Fully depress the clutch pedal (manual transmission).

3. Move the transmission selector lever to the neutral (N) position (automatic transmission).

4. Turn the transfer shift switch from 2H to 4L or 4L to 2H.

During the shift the indicator lamp will flash. If it continues to flash, check whether the above conditions are met.

Shifting between 4H and 4L

Note: When shifting to 4L the Engine

Traction Control and Trailer Stability Control are deactivated. Hill Descent Control, Hill Start Assist and Brake Traction Control remain active.

1. Stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so.

2. Fully depress the clutch pedal (manual transmission).

3. Move the transmission selector lever to the neutral (N) position (automatic transmission).

4. Turn the transfer shift switch from 4H to 4L or from 4L to 4H.

During the shift the indicator lamp will flash. If it continues to flash, check whether the above conditions are met.

ELECTRONIC LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL

WARNING

The vehicle should not be operated on sealed roads with the system

engaged. Doing so may lead to excessive tyre noise and wear. The system is intended for use on consistently slippery or loose surfaces.

The system locks the left and right portions of the rear axle together to form a solid driving axle, resulting in increased rear wheel traction in certain conditions.

Note: The system will only activate if the vehicle speed is less than 30 km/h (20 mph) and the accelerator pedal is released.

Press the Electronic Locking Differential (ELD) button to activate the system. For item location: See At a Glance (page 9).

The rear axle will lock and unlock only when the internal gears are aligned and there is no torque load on the differential. To aid alignment, drive the vehicle in a straight line with the accelerator pedal released. Alternatively, drive slowly forwards and backwards while moving the steering wheel from side to side to allow the internal differential gears to align.

Transmission

Note: The system can be used in any

transmission drive range (2H, 4H or 4L).

The system will:

• Automatically disengage when a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) is exceeded.

• Automatically re-engage when the speed drops below 30 km/h (20 mph).

• Automatically disengage when the ignition is turned off.

If the system is selected when driving above 40 km/h (25 mph), the request is stored and will be engaged when the vehicle speed reduces to 30 km/h (20 mph). The ELD indicator lamp will flash until either the vehicle speed reduces and the differential lock is engaged or the driver deselects the ELD button.

Note: When the system is engaged, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) functions such as Stability Control, Traction Control, Hill Descent Control, Emergency stop signal, Hill Start Assist and Trailer stability control will be deactivated, the ESP off indicator illuminates, and the HDC on indicator turns off.

Note: When the ABS is operating, the system will be disengaged.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Selector lever positions

ParkP ReverseR NeutralN DriveD Sport mode and manual shiftingS Manual shift upS+ Manual shift downS-

WARNING

Apply the brakes before moving the selector lever and keep them applied until you are ready to move off.

Note: A cold engine has a higher idle speed. This will increase the tendency for your vehicle to creep when you have selected a drive gear.

Press the button on the selector lever to select reverse and park.

Transmission

The selector lever position will be shown in the information display.

Park

WARNINGS

Select park only when your vehicle is stationary.

Apply the parking brake and select park before leaving your vehicle. Make sure that the selector lever is

latched in position.

Note: To move the selector lever from park position, apply the footbrake and ignition key in position II.

Note: An audible warning will sound if you open the drivers door and you have not selected park.

Note: The battery saver will deactivate the warning chime after a period of time.

In this position, power is not transmitted to the drive wheels and the transmission is locked. You can start the engine with the selector lever in this position.

Reverse

WARNING

Select reverse only when your vehicle is stationary and the engine is at idle speed.

Neutral

In this position, power is not transmitted to the drive wheels but the transmission is not locked. You can start the engine with the selector lever in this position.

Drive

Select drive to shift automatically through the forward gears.

Sport mode

Note: Sport mode is to shift automatically

through the forward gears in a more sporty manner.

Note: When towing heavy loads, or in hilly terrain, it is recommended that sport mode is selected. This will result in cooler transmission temperatures and additional engine braking.

Activate sport mode by moving the selector lever from drive position towards the driver. This is indicated in the instrument cluster by displaying 'S'. See General Information (page 64).

Sport mode will remain active until you shift manually up or down the gears.

Note: When you select position S, a gear change may occur depending on the accelerator pedal position in relation to actual vehicle speed.

Manual shifting

Note: A shift will occur only when the

vehicle speed and the engine speed are appropriate.

Transmission

Manual shifting can be done only when the selector lever is in position S. Move the selector lever forward to downshift and backward to upshift.

WARNING

Do not hold the selector lever permanently in – or +.

When the vehicle is stationary, only the 1st and 2nd gears can be selected.

Manual shifting is sequential, therefore gears cannot be skipped.

The transmission will remain in the selected gear. When the engine speed is too low or idle, it will downshift to 2nd gear. The selected gear is indicated in the instrument cluster. See General

Information (page 64).

Drive modes

The transmission will select the appropriate gear for optimum performance based on ambient temperature, road gradient, vehicle load and driver input.
