Occupant protection

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 68).

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

30o

30o

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.

13

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 68).

Use a seat belt for only one person.

Use the correct buckle for each seat belt.

WARNINGS

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.

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS

E68584

14

Occupant protection

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

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.

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 49).

Disabling the passenger airbag

AB

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).

16

Occupant protection

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.

17

Keys and remote controls

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.

18

Locks

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.

Note: Do not leave your keys in the vehicle.

Note: You may hear a short tone from the horn if you try to lock the doors when a door is still open.

Slam locking allows you to lock a door with the key or remote control with the door open. The door will be locked when it is closed.

21

Locks

Automatic locking

Note: Your dealer can permanently disable this function if required.

The doors will lock automatically when you exceed 8 km/h (5 mph). Unlock the doors with the interior handle.

Automatic re-locking

The doors will re-lock automatically if you do not open a door within 45 seconds of unlocking the doors with the remote control. The door locks and the alarm will return to their previous state.

One-stage unlocking

Note: The direction indicators will flash once when you unlock the doors.

When enabled, the following features are available:

You will unlock all of the doors when you:

pull either interior handle (except if you have double locked the doors).

turn the key in either of the door locks.

press the unlock button on the remote control once.

press the cargo unlock button on the remote control once (Chassis Cab).

You will unlock the rear doors or tailgate and the sliding door if you press the cargo unlock button once.

Two-stage unlocking

Note: The direction indicators will flash once when you unlock the doors.

You will unlock the front doors when you:

turn the key in either of the door locks.

press the unlock button on the remote control once (Van, Bus and Kombi).

You will unlock the driver side door when you:

press the unlock button on the remote control once (Chassis Cab).

You will unlock the front doors, rear doors and loadspace doors when you:

turn the key in either of the front door locks twice within three seconds.

press the unlock button on the remote control twice within three seconds.

On Van vehicles, you will unlock the rear doors or tailgate and the sliding door if you press the cargo unlock button once.

On Chassis Cab vehicles, you will unlock the passenger side door if you press the cargo unlock button once.

Zone re-locking

The locks on Van, Bus and Kombi are split into two zones, cabin and cargo. Chassis Cab has only the cabin zone.

Exit the vehicle and press the lock button.

Press the unlock button or the cargo unlock button once to open the respective zone.

If you now open a door within the unlocked zone, the other doors in that zone will automatically lock.

Configurable unlocking

Configurable unlocking is set at the time of vehicle purchase and allows you to select which doors unlock when the unlock and cargo unlock buttons on the remote control are pressed once or twice. If you have this feature deactivated, it can not be reactivated. Ask your dealer for further information.

22

Engine immobiliser

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.

23

Alarm

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.

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 19).

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 19).

24

Alarm

DISARMING THE ALARM

Perimeter alarm

Disarm and silence the alarm by unlocking the doors with the key, switching the ignition on with a correctly coded key or unlocking the doors with the remote control. See Locking and unlocking

(page 19).

Category one alarm

Disarm and silence the alarm by unlocking the doors with the key in the driver’s door and switching the ignition on with a correctly coded key within 12 seconds or unlocking the doors with the remote control. See Locking and unlocking

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.

If you switch autowipers on after you have switched the ignition on, the wipers will cycle once regardless of whether the windscreen is wet or dry. The rain sensor will then continuously measure the amount of water on the windscreen and adjust the speed of the wipers automatically.
