DATA RECORDING

A large number of electronic components of your vehicle contain data storage modules temporarily or permanently storing technical data about the condition of the vehicle, events and errors.
In general, this technical information documents the condition of parts, modules, systems or the environment:
Operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels).
Status messages of the vehicle and its individual components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions/rotational speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration).
Malfunction and defects in important system components (e.g. lighting and brake system).
Vehicle reactions in particular driving situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag, activation of the stability regulation system).
Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature).
These data are exclusively technical and help identification and correction of errors as well as optimisation of vehicle functions. Motion profiles indicating travelled routes cannot be created with these data.
If services are used (e.g. repair works, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance), employees of the service network (including manufacturers) are able to read out this technical information from the event and error data storage modules using special diagnostic devices. If required, you will receive further information. After an error has been corrected, these data are deleted from the error storage module or they are constantly overwritten.
When using the vehicle, situations may occur in which these technical data related to other information (accident report, damages on the vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person - possibly, with the assistance of an expert.

Introduction
Additional functions contractually agreed upon with the client (e.g. vehicle location in emergency cases) allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.

REPLACEMENT PARTS RECOMMENDATION

Your vehicle has been built to the highest standards using quality parts. We recommend that you demand the use of genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts whenever your vehicle requires scheduled maintenance or repair. You can clearly identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or Motorcraft branding on the parts or their packaging.
Scheduled Maintenance and Mechanical Repairs
One of the best ways for you to make sure that your vehicle provides years of service is to have it maintained in line with our recommendations using parts that conform to the specifications detailed in this Owners Manual. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts meet or exceed these specifications.
Collision Repairs
We hope that you never experience a collision, but accidents do happen. Genuine Ford replacement collision parts meet our stringent requirements for fit, finish, structural integrity, corrosion protection and dent resistance. During vehicle development we validate these parts deliver the intended level of protection as a whole system. A great way to know for sure you are getting this level of protection is to use genuine Ford replacement collision parts.
Warranty on Replacement Parts
Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement parts are the only replacement parts that benefit from a Ford Warranty. Damage caused to your vehicle as a result of the failure of non-Ford parts may not be covered by the Ford Warranty. For additional information, refer to the terms and conditions of the Ford Warranty.

SPECIAL NOTICES

If converting or modifying your vehicle from production specification, refer to the Body and Equipment Mounting Manual at www.etis.ford.com/fordservice.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

Using mobile communications equipment is becoming increasingly important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However, you must not compromise your own or others safety when using such equipment. Mobile communications can enhance personal safety and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications equipment to avoid negating these benefits. Mobile communication equipment includes, but is not limited to, cellular phones, pagers, portable email devices, text messaging devices and portable two-way radios.

INSTALLING CHILD SEATS

WARNINGS
Use an approved child seat to secure children less than 59 inches (150 centimeters) tall in the rear seat.
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child seat on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it!
Read and follow the manufacturers instructions when you are installing a child seat.
Do not modify child seats in any way.
Do not hold a child on your lap when your vehicle is moving.
Do not leave unattended children in your vehicle.
WARNINGS
If your vehicle has been involved in a crash, have the child seats checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: Mandatory use of child seats varies from country to country.
Only child seats certified to ECE-R44.03 (or later) have been tested and approved for use in your vehicle. A choice of these are available from an authorized dealer.
Child Seats for Different Mass Groups
Use the correct child seat as follows:
Baby Safety Seat
Secure children that weigh less than 29 pounds (13 kilograms) in a rearward facing baby safety seat (Group 0+) on the rear seat.

Child Safety

Child Safety Seat
Secure children that weigh between 29 and 40 pounds (13 and 18 kilograms) in a child safety seat (Group 1) on the rear seat.
Booster Seats
WARNINGS
Do not install a booster seat or a
booster cushion with only the lap
strap of the safety belt.
Do not install a booster seat or a
booster cushion with a safety belt
that is slack or twisted.
Do not put the safety belt under your
childs arm or behind their back.
Do not use pillows, books or towels
to boost your child’s height.
Make sure that your children sit in an
upright position.
Note: 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 76).
Booster Seat (Group 2)
Secure children that weigh more than 33 pounds (15 kilograms) but are less than 59 inches (150 centimeters) tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion.
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 safety belt over the center of your childs shoulder and the lap strap tightly across their hips.
Booster Cushion (Group 3)

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.
Note: When you are purchasing an ISOFIX seat, make sure that you know the correct mass group and ISOFIX size class for the intended seating locations. See Child Seat Positioning (page 21).
Your vehicle has ISOFIX anchor points that accommodate universally approved ISOFIX child seats.
The ISOFIX system comprises two rigid attachment arms on the child seat that attach to anchor points on the outboard rear seats, where the cushion and backrest meet. Tether anchor points are located in the back panel trim for child seats with a top tether.

Child Safety

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

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.
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 center 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 air bags. During minor collisions, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will deploy.
Status After a Collision
WARNING
If your vehicle has been involved in
an accident, have the seat belts and
anchorages checked by properly trained technicians.

FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS

WARNINGS

sufficient distance between yourself
and the steering wheel. Only when you use the safety belt correctly, can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page 72). Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
safety belts must be carried out by an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Keep the areas in front of the airbags
free from obstruction. Do not affix
anything to or over the airbag covers. In the event of a crash, hard objects could cause serious personal injury or death.
Do not puncture the seat with sharp
objects. This could damage and
adversely affect deployment of the airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
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 AIRBAG

The airbag will deploy during significant 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 occupant, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in Lamp Assemblies
Exterior lamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
The presence of a fine mist (no streaks, drip marks or large droplets).
A fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.
Examples of unacceptable condensation are:
A water puddle inside the lamp.
Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside Air
Keep the air intakes in front of the windshield free from obstruction (such as snow or leaves) to allow the climate control system to function effectively.
Recirculated Air
WARNING
Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to mist up. If the windows mist up, follow the settings
for demisting the windshield.
The air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. Outside air does not enter your vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant.
General Information on Controlling the Interior Climate
Fully close all the windows.
Warming the Interior
Direct the air toward your feet. In cold or humid weather conditions, direct some of the air toward the windshield and the door windows.
Cooling the Interior
Direct the air toward your face.
Air Conditioning
The system directs air through the evaporator for cooling. The evaporator extracts humidity from the air to help keep the windows free of mist. The system directs the resulting condensation to the outside of your vehicle, which may cause a small pool to form under your vehicle. This is normal.
Note: The air conditioning operates only when the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).
Note: When you use air conditioning, your vehicle uses more fuel.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or other damage.
Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle
on dry grass or other dry ground
cover. The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.
Do not start the engine in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.
Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door before you start the engine.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have it checked by a
Ford Dealer immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics for approximately 5 mi (10 km) after you reconnect it. This is because the engine management system must realign itself with the engine. You can disregard any unusual driving characteristics during this period.
When you start the engine, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal before and during operation. Only use the accelerator pedal when you have difficulty starting the engine.

IGNITION SWITCH

0(off) - The ignition is off. Note: When you switch the ignition off and

Ranger (TKE) Vehicles Built From: 01-10-2014, DB39120609AD (CG3575en) enGBR, Edition date: 09/2014, First Printing
Starting and Stopping the Engine
Note: During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic odor and could notice a clicking metallic sound. This is due to the high temperatures reached during regeneration and is normal.
Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust sound may be heard during the regeneration process.
Note: After you have switched your engine off the fans may continue to run for a short period of time.
The diesel particulate filter on your vehicle requires periodic regeneration to maintain its correct function. Your vehicle will carry out this process automatically.
If your journeys meet one of the following conditions:
You drive only short distances.
You frequently switch the ignition on
and off.
Your journeys contain a high level of acceleration and deceleration.
You must carry out occasional trips with the following conditions to assist the regeneration process:
Drive your vehicle in more favorable conditions, which you will find at higher vehicle speeds in normal driving, on a main road or freeway for a minimum of 20 minutes. This drive may include short stops that will not affect the regeneration process.
Avoid prolonged idling and always observe speed limits and road conditions.
Do not switch the ignition off.
Select a suitable gear to ideally
maintain engine speed between 1500 and 3000 RPM.

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Vehicles With a Turbocharger
WARNING
Do not switch the engine off when it is running at high speed. 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS
Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire.
The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
near the fuel filler door (Easy Fuel capless fuel system), do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury.
Automotive fuels can cause serious
injury or death if misused or
mishandled.
Flow of fuel through a fuel pump
nozzle can produce static electricity.
This can cause a fire if you are filling an ungrounded fuel container.
Fuel ethanol and gasoline may
contain benzene, which is a
cancer-causing agent.
When refueling always shut the
engine off and never allow sparks or
open flames near the filler neck. Never smoke or use a cell phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes.
Observe the following guidelines when handling automotive fuel:
Extinguish all smoking materials and
any open flames before refueling your vehicle.
Always turn off the vehicle before
refueling.
Automotive fuels can be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as gasoline is highly toxic and if swallowed can cause death or permanent injury. If fuel is swallowed, call a physician immediately, even if no symptoms are immediately apparent. The toxic effects of fuel may not be visible for hours.
Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too much fuel vapor of any kind can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases, excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can cause serious illness and permanent injury.
Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could lead to permanent injury.
Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If fuel is splashed on the skin, clothing or both, promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation.
Be particularly careful if you are takingAntabuse” or other forms of disulfiram
for the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing gasoline vapors, or skin contact could cause an adverse reaction. In sensitive individuals, serious personal injury or sickness may result. If fuel is splashed on the skin, promptly wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Consult a physician immediately if you experience an adverse reaction.

Fuel and Refueling

FUEL QUALITY

WARNINGS
Do not mix gasoline with oil, diesel or other liquids. This could cause a chemical reaction.
Do not use leaded gasoline or gasoline 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: We do not recommend the use of additional additives or other engine treatments for normal vehicle use.
Use minimum 91 octane unleaded gasoline that meets the specification defined by EN 228 or the equivalent national specification.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with ethanol blends up to 20% (E20).
Long-Term Storage
Most gasoline contains ethanol. We recommend that you fill the fuel tank with fuel that does not contain ethanol if you intend to store your vehicle for more than two months. Alternatively, we recommend that you seek advice from an authorized dealer.

FUEL QUALITY

WARNINGS
Do not mix diesel with oil, gasoline
or other liquids. This could cause a
chemical reaction.
Do not add kerosene, paraffin or
gasoline to diesel. This could cause
damage to the fuel system.
WARNINGS
Use diesel that meets the specification defined by EN 590 or the relevant national specification.
Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel.
Note: We do not recommend the use of additional additives or other engine treatments for normal vehicle use.
Note: We do not recommend the use of additional additives to prevent fuel waxing.
Long-Term Storage
Most diesel fuels contain biodiesel. We recommend that you fill the fuel tank with fuel that does not contain biodiesel if you intend to store your vehicle for more than two months. Alternatively, we recommend that you seek advice from your dealer.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse effect on engine components.
If you have run out of fuel:
You may need to cycle the ignition from off to on several times after refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to the engine. On restarting, cranking time will take a few seconds longer than normal. With keyless ignition, just start the engine. Crank time will be longer than usual.
Normally, adding 3.8 liters of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than 3.8 liters may be required.

Driving with a Catalytic Converter
WARNINGS
Avoid running out of fuel.
Do not crank the engine for long
periods.
Do not run the engine when a spark
plug lead is disconnected.
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See
Jump Starting the Vehicle (page
136).
Do not switch the ignition off when
driving.

REFUELING

WARNINGS
Do not attempt to start the engine if you have filled the fuel tank with the
incorrect fuel. This could damage the engine. Have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer immediately.
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.
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel
filler flap briefly from a distance not less than 8 inches (200 millimeters).
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.
Stop refueling 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 remove the fuel nozzle from
its fully inserted position during the
entire refueling process.
Note: Central locking also locks and unlocks the fuel filler flap. See Locking and Unlocking (page 36).

3. Hold the fuel nozzle in position B during refueling. Holding the fuel nozzle in position A can affect the flow of fuel and shut off the fuel nozzle before the fuel tank is full.
4. Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to remove it.
Note: A funnel is located in the glove box. Use this when refilling with a fuel can.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

We derive CO2 and fuel consumption figures in laboratory tests according to Regulation (EC) 715/2007 or CR (EC) 692/2008 and subsequent amendments.
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, for example driving style, high speed driving, stop-start driving, air conditioning usage, the accessories fitted, payload and towing.
The advertised capacity is the indicated capacity and the empty reserve combined. Indicated capacity is the difference in the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and when the fuel gauge indicates empty. Empty reserve is the amount of fuel in the fuel tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Note: The amount of fuel in the empty reserve varies and should not be relied upon to increase driving range. When refueling your vehicle after the fuel gauge indicates empty, you might not be able to refuel the full amount of the advertised capacity due to the empty reserve still present in the fuel tank.
Filling the Fuel Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
Switch the ignition off.
Allow no more than two automatic
shut-offs when refueling.
Results are most accurate when the refueling method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the first 1000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this is the engine break-in period). A more accurate measurement is obtained after 2500 mi (4,000 km). Also, fuel expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel gauge readings are not accurate ways to measure fuel economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, record the amount of fuel added.

Fuel and Refueling
3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel tank and record the current odometer reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer reading.
5. Calculate fuel economy by dividing miles traveled by gallons used (For Metric: Multiply liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers traveled).
Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving (city or freeway). This provides an accurate estimate of your vehicle’s fuel economy under current driving conditions. Additionally, keeping records during summer and winter show how temperature impacts fuel economy. In general, your vehicle will use more fuel in cold temperatures.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

This system is a proactive system. It has the ability to anticipate wheel slip and transfer torque to the rear wheels before slip occurs. Even when wheel slip is not present, the system is continuously making adjustments to the torque distribution, in an attempt to improve straight line and cornering behavior, both on and off road.
The system automatically turns on every time you switch the ignition on.
All components of the system are sealed and do not require maintenance.

USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

Note: A clicking sound from the drive line
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.
Use for off-road driving.
We recommend that you frequently inspect your vehicle's chassis components if your vehicle is subject to off-road use.
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 53).
Four-Wheel Drive, Low Range (4L)
WARNING
Do not use four-wheel drive 4H for normal road driving.
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.
We recommend that you frequently inspect your vehicle's chassis components if your vehicle is subject to off-road use.
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 53).
Shifting Between 2H and 4H
Note: Shift to 2H will reactivate all the
stability control (ESP) functions.

Driving in Special Conditions With Four-Wheel Drive
Four-wheel drive vehicles are suitable for driving on sand, snow, mud and rough roads and have operating characteristics that are somewhat different from conventional vehicles, both on and off the freeway.
When driving at slow speeds off road under high load conditions, use a low gear when possible. Low gear operation will maximize the engine and transmission cooling capability.
Basic Operating Principles
Drive slower in strong crosswinds which can affect the normal steering characteristics of your vehicle.
When driving your vehicle on surfaces made slippery by loose sand, water, gravel, snow or ice proceed with care.
If Your Vehicle leaves the Road
If your vehicle leaves the road, reduce your vehicle speed and avoid severe braking. When your vehicle speed has been reduced ease your vehicle back onto the road. Do not turn the steering wheel sharply while returning your vehicle to the road.
It may be safer to stay on the shoulder of the road and slow down gradually before returning to the road. You may lose control if you do not slow down or if you turn the steering wheel too sharply or abruptly.
It may be less risky to strike small objects, such as freeway reflectors, with minor damage to your vehicle rather than attempt a sudden return to the road which could cause your vehicle to slide sideways out of control or roll over. Remember, your safety and the safety of others should be your primary concern.
