CHILD SEATS

E72336
WARNINGS
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a child restraint on a seat
protected by an airbag in front of it!
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!
There is a risk of death or
serious injury when the airbag deploys.
WARNINGS
Always have the rear row head
restraint raised when a child restraint is being installed or occupying the seat, provided doing so does not move the child restraint away from the vehicle seat.
Note:
If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, have the child safety seat checked by an expert as it might be damaged.
Note:
Do not leave children unattended in the child safety seat or in the vehicle.
Note:
When installing a child seat/restraint with the seat belt, always ensure belts fit without slack or twists.
WARNING
There is a risk of death or
serious injury when the manufacturers instructions are not followed properly or when the child seat/restraint is modified in any way.
Whenever installing a child seat/restraint, always read and follow the manufacturers instructions.
WARNING
Do not hold a child on your lap
while the vehicle is moving.
10

Child safety

Page 13
Children of height 150 cm or under or aged 12 years or under should be secured in special restraints for children, such as baby seats, child safety seats or booster cushions in the rear seats.
Such equipment must be suitable and government approved (depending on country).
A choice of ECE approved child restraints is available at your Ford Dealer. Please ask for the recommended child seats. Together with the adult seat belt, these restraints help to provide maximum security for the children.
Child restraints for different mass groups
The correct restraint to be used depends on the childs age and weight:
Baby safety seat
E72337
Babies under 13 kg (approximately 18 months) are best protected if properly restrained in rearward facing baby safety seats (Group 0+) on the rear seat.
Child safety seat
E72338
Children weighing between 13 and 18 kg (approximately nine months to four years old) should be carried properly restrained in child safety
seats (Group I) in the rear seat.

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS
If your Ford vehicle is equipped
with a front passenger airbag, children of height 150 cm or under or aged 12 years and under must only be properly restrained in the rear seat – never in the front.
11
Child safety
Page 14
WARNINGS
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
Note:
If individual circumstances require that a child weighing more than 9 kg must travel in a front seat protected by an operational front airbag, only use a forward facing restraint.
The following table advises on the suitability of child restraint fitment locations.

BOOSTER CUSHIONS

E72362
Booster seatA
Booster cushionB
WARNINGS
You should never use a booster seat with only a lap belt.
Never put the shoulder belt under a childs arm or behind
the back.
Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child.
Children weighing more than 15 kg and under 150 cm should use a booster seat or booster cushion. Ford recommends using booster seats that combine a booster cushion and a back rest into one seat for children between 15 and 25 kg. The raised seating position ensures that the adult seat belt can be correctly guided over the centre of the shoulder instead of along the neck, the lap belt lying tightly across the hips instead of the stomach. Make sure that your child sits in an upright position.

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS

Tourneo Connect
WARNINGS
Ford does not recommend the
use of an ISOfix system without the use of an anti-rotation device, such as a top tether anchor or support leg, correctly installed.
There is a risk of death or
serious injury when the manufacturers instructions are not followed properly or when the child restraint is modified in any way.
Your vehicle has been equipped with ISOFIX anchor points. Your Ford Dealer will be pleased to make them accessible.
E75769
The ISOFIX system consists of two rigid latching arms on the child seat which attach to anchor points at the bottom of the seat. When made available by your Ford Dealer, the two lower anchor points may be found on the second row centre seat and are labelled with a circular pictogram and the text ISOFIX. The guides enable the latching arms of an ISOFIX child seat to be easily and securely attached.
ISOFIX child seats not approved by Ford have not been validated by Ford, and neither the suitability nor the safety of such seats can be certified, whether installed using the ISOFIX system or the normal seat belts.
Attaching a child seat with top tethers
WARNING
Attach the tether strap only to
the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether location.
A third anchor point has been provided for child seats that are equipped with a top tether, available for use in the forward facing configuration. This additional anchor will enable the use of a top tether strap. Contact your Ford Dealer to have this anchor installed.
15
Child safety
Page 18
E75770
On vehicles with five seats, the anchor is located at the top of the rear door opening.
E75771
On vehicles with eight seats, it is located on the rear of the second row centre seat.
E75772
The anchor point is identified by a pictogram. The tether strap should be routed beneath the raised head restraint to the anchor point. Remove the anchor point cover and attach the strap. After installing the child safety seat, tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturers instructions.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Airbags
E75574
WARNING
Do not modify the front of the
vehicle in any way, as this can adversely affect the airbag deployment.
Note:
A loud bang will be heard when an airbag deploys and it is normal to see a cloud of harmless powdery residue.
The airbag system comprises the following:
driver and front passenger inflatable nylon bags (airbags) with gas generators.
side airbags
curtain airbags
a seat belt pretensioner
crash sensors.
a warning lamp in the instrument cluster.
an electronic control and diagnostic unit.
E72330
18

Occupant protection

Page 21
WARNINGS
Repairs to either of the front
seat covers or the sensors attached to the seats should only be carried out by properly trained technicians. Injuries may result if the side airbags are triggered inadvertently.
Do not block, obstruct or cover
the airbag because it may prevent proper deployment. Do not poke any sharp objects into the areas where airbags are fitted. This could damage the airbags.
Do not use any accessory seat
covers that are not specifically designed for seats with side airbags. These seat covers must be fitted by properly trained technicians.
E66553
WARNING
Always wear the seat belt and
keep sufficient distance between the driver and the steering wheel. Only when the seat belt is used properly, can it hold the body in a position which allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. There is a risk of injury when the airbag deploys.
The seat and back must be set correctly for the airbags to be optimally effective. See Sitting in the correct position (page 74).
This is the ideal seating position for the driver and front passenger and helps reduce the risk of injury from sitting too close to an inflating airbag.
E75575
The front airbags activate during significant collisions which are either frontal or up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbags inflate within a few thousandths of a second. They will deflate on contact with the front occupants thus cushioning forward body movement.
19
Occupant protection
Page 22
E75576
During minor collisions as well as overturns and rear or side collisions, the front airbag system will not be activated.
E75577
WARNINGS
Repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column and airbag system should be carried out by properly trained technicians.
Always keep the areas in front
of the airbags free. Never affix anything to or over these areas.
These areas should only be wiped with a damp cloth, never with a wet cloth.
Side air bags
E72328
A label on the seatback indicates that side airbags are fitted. The side airbags are fitted on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats. In case of a severe lateral collision, the airbag on the side affected by the collision will be inflated.
20
Occupant protection
Page 23
E75578
The airbag will inflate between the door panel and occupant and above the door panel trim to provide protection to the head and rib areas. Once the occupants body contacts the airbag, the propellant escapes, thereby cushioning the impact.
The side airbags are not activated upon minor lateral collisions nor upon front or rear impacts.
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Use seat belts at all times.
Never use a seat belt for more than one person.
Avoid wearing thick clothing.
The seat belts should fit tightly around the body.
Seat belt pretensioner
E72333
WARNING
The belt pretensioners must not
be removed. If the pretensioners deployed during an accident, they must be replaced. Have the pretensioners serviced and disposed of by specially trained personnel only.
The restraint system, with belt pretensioner in the drivers seat belt, helps to reduce the risk of serious injury in a major frontal impact. During a serious crash the drivers seat belt is pretensioned to help reduce slack in the belt. The safety belt pretensioner is a device which removes excess webbing from the safety belt system. When the safety belt pretensioner deploys, webbing from the lap and shoulder belt is tightened.
The belt pretensioner is not triggered in any side, rear or minor frontal collisions.

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS

E66541
WARNING
Insert the tongue into the buckle
until a distinct click is heard, otherwise the seat belt will not be locked correctly.
Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if pulled sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.
To release the belt, press the red button on the buckle and let the belt rewind completely and smoothly.
Rear seat belts
E75564
WARNING
In order to ensure that the
centre belt works properly, the rear seatback must be correctly engaged.
Make sure that each seat belt uses the correct buckle.

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.

CHANGING THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY

If the range of the transmitter in the key decreases gradually, the battery (type 3V CR 2032) should be replaced.
E66527
Open the transmitter unit by separating the sides with a flat object.
Carefully prise out the battery with the flat object. Fit the new battery between the contacts with the + sign facing downwards. Reassemble the transmitter unit in reverse order.

6. After the coding process is completed, remove the key from the ignition switch. Wait five seconds for the system to be activated.
If coding is not completed correctly, the indicator light flashes after the ignition is switched on with the newly coded key and the engine will not start.
Repeat the coding process after waiting 20 seconds with the ignition switched on (position II).
Coding erasure
With two keys coded for your vehicle you can make all the other coded keys unusable, e.g. after loss:
Complete each of the following steps within five seconds.
Carry out the first four steps under Key coding, then continue as follows:
E66508
Insert the second key in the ignition switch and turn to position II.
Remove the key from the ignition switch.
Insert the first key in the ignition switch, turn to position II and hold. The control light flashes for five seconds.
If the ignition is switched off during these five seconds, the erasure process is terminated and no key is erased.
If the erasure process is completed, all the other keys, apart from the two used for erasure, can no longer be used unless recoded.
Additional keys can now be coded.

ARMING THE ENGINE IMMOBILISER

The engine immobiliser is armed automatically five seconds after you have switched the ignition off. The indicator in the instrument cluster will flash to confirm that the system is operating.

Engine immobiliser
Page 37

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 this checked immediately.

ARMING THE ALARM

The system is armed as soon as the vehicle is locked and acts as a deterrent to unauthorised persons who attempt to open the doors, bonnet or luggage compartment, or remove the audio system.
Automatic arming delay
The 20 seconds arming delay begins when the bonnet, luggage compartment and all doors are closed and locked.

Alarm

The alarm sounds for 30 seconds if an unauthorised person opens a door, the load compartment or the bonnet. The hazard warning flashers will flash for five minutes.
Any attempt to start the engine or to remove the audio system sounds the alarm again.

DISARMING THE ALARM

The anti-theft alarm system can be deactivated at any time even when the alarm is sounding by unlocking one of the front doors.
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated when the luggage compartment is unlocked with a key. After closure, the alarm is once again armed.

AUDIBLE WARNINGS AND INDICATORS

Lights on
A warning tone will sound if the driver's door is opened when the lights are on and the ignition is switched off.
63
Instruments
Page 66

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside air
Always keep the air intakes forward of the front windscreen free of snow, leaves etc., to allow the system to function effectively.
Recirculated air
Note:
It is not recommended to use recirculated air for more than 30 minutes as there is no air exchange and the windows may mist up.
When recirculated air is selected, only the air currently in the passenger compartment will be circulated. Outside air will not enter the vehicle.
Fresh air filter
The fresh air filter removes most potentially harmful particles such as pollen, industrial fallout and road dust from the air entering the vehicles interior.
In an automatic car wash, you should switch off the ventilation blower to prevent the filter collecting wax deposits.
Blower
The blower motor may emit noises.
Heating
The heating depends upon the coolant temperature and is therefore only effective when the engine is warm.
Air conditioning
Note:
The air conditioning system only operates when the temperature is above +4 ºC, the engine is running and the blower is switched on. Operating the air conditioning leads to higher fuel consumption.
The air is directed through the coolant heat exchanger where it is cooled if the air conditioning is switched on. In addition, 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. It is therefore quite normal if you notice a small pool of water underneath the parked vehicle.
General notes on controlling the climate in the vehicles interior
Close all the windows completely.
To warm the interior effectively, direct the heated air to the footwell area. In cold or humid weather, direct some of the air towards the front windscreen and side windows.
To cool the interior effectively, direct the cooled air towards the face level.

AUXILIARY HEATER

General information
WARNINGS
Do not operate the
programmable fuel fired heater at filling stations, near sources of combustible vapours or dust or in enclosed spaces.
Do not refuel when the
programmable fuel fired heater display is on.
Note:
The programmable fuel fired heater will switch off automatically when the battery voltage is low.
Note:
All symbols on the display will flash if the power to the programmable fuel fired heater has been interrupted. The heater will not operate under these circumstances. Re-set the clock time.
Note:
The programmable fuel fired heater will shut down in the event of a malfunction. Have the system checked by an expert.
Observe the following information:
Switch the programmable fuel fired heater on for approximately 10 minutes at least once a month, all year round. This prevents the water pump and heater motor from seizing.
To avoid corrosion, make sure the coolant in your vehicle contains at least 10 % antifreeze all year round.
Make sure the coolant level is between the MAX and MIN marks on the reservoir to prevent air locks. See Engine coolant check (page 115).
Programmable blower operation begins when the coolant reaches a certain temperature. In this mode, ambient temperature has no effect.
In continuous heater operation, the unit senses the ambient temperature. If this is above 5°C the programmable fuel fired heater heater will not activate.
The programmable fuel fired heater operates independently of the vehicle heater by heating the engines coolant circuit. It is fed from the vehicle fuel tank. It may also be used while the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle heater warm up the interior more quickly.
It is possible that when the programmable fuel fired heater is activated, exhaust fumes may come from under the sides of the vehicle. This is normal.

Principle of operation
Before operation
CAUTION
Turning the blower switch to a
position other than position one will reduce battery life or even flatten the battery.
Before activating or programming the heater, prepare the following settings:
Set the vehicle heater temperature control to maximum.
Turn the blower switch to position one.
Switch on the recirculated air before turning the ignition off. Wait at least five seconds for the ventilation system to close the outside air vents.
Open all the cabin air vents.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION

E68595
WARNINGS
Do not adjust the seats when
the vehicle is moving.
Only when you use the seat belt
properly, can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect.
When you use them properly, the seat, head restraint, seat belt and airbags will provide optimum protection in the event of a collision. We recommend that you:
sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as possible.
do not recline the seatback more than 30 degrees.
adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of your head.
keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We recommend a minimum of 254 millimetres (10 inches) between your breastbone and the airbag cover.
hold the steering wheel with your arms slightly bent.
bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully.
position the shoulder strap of the seat belt over the centre of your shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can maintain full control of your vehicle.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS
Always 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
Note:
We recommend that you use only high quality fuel without additives or other engine treatments.
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol or
petrol with additives containing other metallic compounds (e.g. manganese-based). They could damage the emission system.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded petrol that meets the specification defined by EN 228, or equivalent.
FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
Note:
We recommend that you use only high quality fuel without additives or other engine treatments.
WARNING
Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or other liquids. This could cause
a chemical reaction.
CAUTION
Do not add kerosene, paraffin or petrol to diesel. This could cause
damage to the fuel system.
Note:
We do not recommend the prolonged use of additives intended to prevent fuel waxing.
Use diesel that meets the specification defined by EN 590, or equivalent.
You can use diesel that contains up to 5% RME (bio diesel).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Dual circuit braking system
E71353
WARNING
If a brake circuit fails, you will
notice a softer feel to the brake pedal. Press the brake pedal firmly and allow for increased stopping distances. Stop and have this checked immediately. Do not continue your journey.
Your vehicle is fitted with a diagonally split, dual circuit brake system. If a brake circuit fails, the other remains operational.
Disc brakes
E71354
Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when driving from a car wash to remove the film of water.
ABS
WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with
due care and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full steering and directional stability when you brake heavily in an emergency, by preventing the road wheels from locking. The ABS monitors the speed of each road wheel and varies the pressure to each brake. The ABS optimizes the tyre-to-road adhesion when you brake heavily.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS

E71355
When the ABS is operating, the brake pedal will pulse. This is normal. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.
94

Brakes

Page 97
The ABS will not eliminate the dangers inherent when:
you drive too close to the vehicle in front of you.
the vehicle is aquaplaning.
you take corners too fast.
the road surface is poor.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING
The parking aid is an auxiliary
system which is not intended to relieve the driver of his responsibility for exercising due care and attention when reversing. In particular, some objects close to the vehicle (approx. 30 cm) and above or below the sensors may not be detected by the park distance sensor and cause damage to the vehicle. Ultrasonic waves, heavy rain and/or conditions causing disruptive reflections may lead to objects not being detected by the sensors. In addition, objects which absorb ultrasonic waves may not always be detected due to their unfavourable surface characteristics.

USING THE PARKING AID

E75778
WARNING
Be careful when a tow bar is
installed.
The system is activated automatically after the reverse gear is selected with the ignition switched on.
At a distance of up to 180 cm between the obstacle and rear bumper an intermittent sound appears. Decreasing the distance accelerates the intermittent sound. It turns into a continuous tone at a distance of less than 25 cm.
The system is switched off automatically if a Ford approved trailer tow module is attached to the vehicle.
Always keep the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow (do not clean with sharp objects).
If the system has a fault when engaging reverse gear or turning the ignition on, a single, three second tone will be heard only once. The system is automatically disabled when a fault is detected. Have the system checked by an expert.
