CHILD SEATS

E68916

WARNINGS

Secure children that are less

than 150 centimetres tall or less
than 12 years of age in a suitable,
approved child restraint, in the rear
seat.

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!

Read and follow the

manufacturer’s instructions
when you are fitting a child restraint.

Do not modify child restraints in

any way.

Do not hold a child on your lap

when the vehicle is moving.

Do not leave unattended

children in your vehicle.

WARNINGS

If your vehicle has been involved

in an accident, have the child
restraints checked by properly
trained technicians.

Note:

Mandatory use of child
restraints varies from country to
country.

A choice of ECE approved child
restraints which have been
specifically tested and approved for
your vehicle are available from your
Dealer.

Child restraints for different
mass groups

Use the correct child restraint as
follows:

Baby safety seat

E68918

Secure children that weigh less than
13 kilogrammes in a rearward facing
baby safety seat in the rear seat.

12

Child safety

Child safety seat

E68920

Secure children that weigh between
13 and 18 kilogrammes in a child
safety seat in the rear seat.

BOOSTER CUSHIONS

WARNINGS

Do not install a booster seat or
a booster cushion with only the

lap strap of the seat belt.

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.

WARNINGS

Secure children that weigh more

than 15 kilogrammes but are
less than 150 centimetres tall in a
booster seat or a booster cushion.

Booster seat

E70710

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.

E68924

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNING

When using a forward facing

child seat on a rear seat, always
remove the head restraint from that
seat.

Note:

When using a child restraint
on a front seat, it may prove difficult
to tighten the lap section of the seat
belt without slack remaining. If this is
the case, adjust the seatback to the
fully upright position and raise the
height of the seat. See Front seats
(page 64).

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.

16

Child safety

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 manufacturer’s
instructions.

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 64).

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:

Only wipe airbag covers with
a damp cloth.

Driver and front passenger
airbags

E74302

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.

19

Occupant protection

Side airbags

E72658

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 chest and shoulder
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 64).

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.

The drivers seat belt retractor is fitted
with a seat belt pretensioner. Seat
belt pretensioners have a slightly
lower deployment threshold than the
airbags. During significant frontal
collisions, it is possible that only the
seat belt pretensioners will deploy.

20

Occupant protection

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.

21

Occupant protection

Front seat belt

E68901

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.

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
four remote controls to use with your
vehicle (including any supplied with
your vehicle).

Note:

Make sure the anti-theft alarm
is deactivated and that all doors are
closed.

1. Turn the ignition key from position

0 to position II eight times within
10 seconds. The ignition must end
in position II and remain in this
position. The door locks will cycle
to indicate that it is now possible
to programme new remote
controls.

2. Press any button on a new
remote control within 20 seconds
of the door locks cycling. The
door locks will cycle again to
indicate that the remote control
has been successfully
programmed.

3. Repeat step 2 for all your remote
controls, including your original
remote control. Each time a new
remote control is successfully
programmed, the programming
period starts again and it is
possible to programme a new
remote control for 20 seconds.

4.

Turn the ignition to position 0. The
door locks will cycle to indicate
that the remote control
programming is ended. Only the
remote controls which you have
just programmed are now able to
lock and unlock your vehicle.

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.

23

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:

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.

Note:

Do not shield your keys with
metal objects. This may prevent the
receiver from recognising your key
as a valid one.

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.

Key coding

A maximum of eight keys (including
the ones supplied with the vehicle)
can be coded using two other keys
previously coded for your vehicle.

Complete each of the following steps
within five seconds.

1. Insert the first key in the ignition

switch and turn to position II.

2.

Turn the key back to position 0
and remove from the ignition
switch.

3. Insert the second key in the
ignition switch and turn to position
II.

4. Turn the second key back to
position 0 and remove from the
ignition switch − the key coding
mode is now activated.

5. If an uncoded key is now inserted
in the ignition switch and turned
to position II within 10 seconds,
this key is coded to the system.

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:

30

Engine immobiliser

•

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 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.

31

Engine immobiliser

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The perimeter alarm is a deterrent
against unauthorised access to your
vehicle through the doors and the
bonnet. It also protects the audio unit.

Triggering the alarm

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

•

If someone opens a door, the
luggage compartment or the
bonnet without a valid key or
remote control.

•

If someone removes the audio or
navigation system.

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.

ARMING THE ALARM

To arm the alarm, lock the vehicle.
See Locks (page 25).

DISARMING THE ALARM

Disarm and silence the alarm by
unlocking either of the front doors or
luggage compartment with the key.

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.

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.

Fresh air filter

CAUTION

Switch off the blower when using
an automatic car wash.

The fresh air filter removes most
potentially harmful particles such as
pollen, industrial fallout and road dust
from the air entering the vehicle’s
interior.

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.

59

Climate control

•

Make sure the coolant level is
between the MAX and MIN
marks on the reservoir to prevent
air locks. See Engine coolant
check (page 107).

•

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
(41°F) the programmable fuel fired
heater heater will not activate.

The programmable fuel fired heater
operates independently of the vehicle
heater by heating the engine’s
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 and as far forwards as
possible, remaining comfortable.

•

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.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

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.

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.

85

Brakes

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.

PARKING BRAKE

86

Brakes

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The traction control system improves
traction when one wheel starts to
spin at vehicle speeds up to 40 km/h
(25 mph). If a wheel starts to spin, the
traction control system varies the
pressure to the brake of that wheel
until is stops spinning.

USING TRACTION CONTROL

The traction control system is
operational when you switch the
ignition on.

The traction control indicator will flash
when the system is operating. Slowly
accelerate until the spinning wheel
regains its traction.

The traction control system will stop
working temporarily if used
excessively within a short period of
time. This is normal and has no effect
on the brake system.

87

Traction control

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING

The parking aid does not relieve
you of your responsibility to

drive with due care and attention.

CAUTIONS

The sensors may not detect

objects in heavy rain or other
conditions that cause disruptive
reflections.

The sensors may not detect

objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves.

The sensors may not detect

objects that are close to the
vehicle (approximately 30
centimetres [11 inches] to the rear
and above or below the sensors).

If you use a high pressure spray

to wash your vehicle, only spray
the sensors briefly from a distance
not less than 20 centimetres (8
inches).

Note:

The parking aid may emit false
tones if it detects a signal using the
same frequency as the sensors or if
the vehicle is fully laden.

Note:

The outer sensors may detect
the side walls of a garage. If the
distance between the outer sensor
and the side wall remains constant
for three seconds, the tone will
switch off. As you continue, the inner
sensors will detect rearward objects.

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.
