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 air bag 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 properly trained technicians.

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 properly trained technicians.

Note:

You will hear a loud bang and see a cloud of harmless powdery residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal.

Note:

The front passenger airbag protects both positions of a double seat.

Note:

Only wipe airbag covers with a damp cloth.

Driver and front passenger airbags

E68581

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.

Occupant protection

Side airbags

E68905

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. Only the airbag on the side affected by the collision will deploy. The airbags will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing protection for the head and rib areas. During minor lateral collisions, overturns, front collisions and rear collisions, the side 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).

Use a seat belt for only 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.

Seat belt pretensioners have a lower deployment threshold than the airbags. During minor collisions, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioner will deploy.

Occupant protection

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS

E68584

E68585

E68586

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 seat 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 seat belt. Let it retract completely and smoothly.

Occupant protection

SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Front seat belt

E68901

Rear seat belt

E73074

WARNING

Make sure that the seat belt runs smoothly through the

guide.

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

To avoid the risk of death or

serious injury, NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint in the front, unless the airbag is OFF.

Occupant protection

E71313

The key switch and the airbag deactivation lamp are located in the instrument panel.

If the airbag warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates intermittently, it means that there is a malfunction. Remove the child restraint from the front. Have the system checked by a suitably trained technician for your own safety. See

Warning lamps and indicators

(page 52).

Disabling the passenger airbag

A B

E71312

To use a child restraint in the front, make sure that the key switch is turned to position A.

When you switch the ignition on, check that the passenger airbag deactivation warning lamp comes on. See Quick start (page 6).

Enabling the passenger airbag

WARNING

For the adult restraint system to perform as intended, make sure

that the airbag is ON.

After removing the child restraint from the front, make sure that you turn the key switch to position B.

Occupant protection

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES

CAUTION

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.

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

You can programme a maximum of eight remote controls to use with your vehicle (including any supplied with your vehicle). Ask your dealer for instructions.

Keys and remote controls

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING

Double locking

WARNING

Do not activate double locking

when persons or animals are inside the vehicle. You will not be able to unlock the doors from the inside if you have double locked them.

Double locking is a theft protection feature that prevents someone from opening the doors from the inside. You can only double lock the doors if they are all closed. If you try to double lock the doors when a door is still open, you may hear a short tone from the horn and the locks will cycle. The door locks will return to their previous state.

If you have double locked the doors successfully, the direction indicators will flash twice. If the hazard warning flashers are on, the direction indicators will give two long flashes.

If you have this feature deactivated, it can not be reactivated. Ask your dealer for further information.

Locks

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 attempt to start the engine with an incorrectly coded key, you will need to wait for approximately 20 seconds before attempting to start the engine again with a correctly coded key.

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

All vehicles

If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horns will sound for 30 seconds and the hazard warning flashers will flash for five minutes. If the cause of the alarm being triggered has been removed, the alarm will return to its previous armed state. If the cause has not been removed, the alarm horns will sound again.

Vehicles with a 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 and the trailer (if a Ford trailer-tow kit is fitted). You can fully arm or partially arm the alarm. Trailer detection is disabled when you have partially armed the alarm.

The perimeter alarm will be triggered if someone:

•

opens a door.

•

opens the bonnet.

•

attempts to start the engine with an incorrectly coded key.

•

removes the audio unit.

•

disconnects the trailer electrical connector (if it was connected at the time the alarm was armed).

Vehicles with a category one alarm

E71401

The category one alarm is additional to the perimeter alarm. Ultrasonic interior motion detection protects your vehicle against unauthorised access to the passenger compartment and the cargo area. You can fully arm or partially arm the alarm. Trailer detection and interior motion detection are disabled when you have partially armed the alarm. Interior motion detection is not activated if you arm the alarm when a door is open.

The category one alarm will only function correctly if all windows are fully closed. Keep the area in front of the motion sensors free from obstruction.

The category one alarm is triggered if:

•

motion is detected in the passenger compartment or cargo area.

•

someone attempts to access the cargo area through the rear door or tailgate window.

Alarm

ARMING THE ALARM

Perimeter alarm

The alarm is armed 20 seconds after you have locked the doors. This delay allows you to close any doors or the bonnet without triggering the alarm.

Partial arming

Lock the doors with the key. See Locking and unlocking (page

20).

Full arming

Lock the doors with the remote control or double lock the doors with the key or the remote control. See Locking and unlocking (page

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.
