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.

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.

Only child restraints certified to
ECE-R44.03 (or later) have been tested
and approved for use in your vehicle. A
choice of these 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
kilograms in a rearward facing baby safety
seat (Group 0+) in the rear seat.

10

Child safety

Child safety seat

E68920

Secure children that weigh between 13
and 18 kilograms in a child safety seat
(Group 1) 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.

Secure children that weigh more
than 15 kilograms but are less than
150 centimetres tall in a booster

seat or a booster cushion.

CAUTION

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 74).

Booster seat (Group 2)

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.

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS

When using a forward facing child
seat on a rear seat, always remove
the head restraint from that seat.

When fitting a child seat using the
vehicle seat belts make sure the
belts are not slack.

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 71).

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS

Tourneo Connect

E68945

WARNING

Use only ISOFIX child seats we
recommend.

You can fit ISOFIX child restraints using
the ISOFIX anchor points.

The ISOFIX system comprises of two rigid
attachment arms on the child restraint
that attach to anchor points on the rear
seats, where the cushion and backrest
meet. Tether anchor points may also be
fitted.

Attaching a child restraint with a top
tether

WARNINGS

Use an anti-rotation device when
using the ISOFIX system. We
recommend that you use a top

tether or a support leg.

For ISOFIX child seats fitted with a
top tether, always use a top tether
anchor point.

WARNINGS

Do not attach a tether strap to
anything other than the correct
tether anchor point.

Always use the top tether anchor
point at the base of the second row
seatback when the third row is

occupied.

1. Remove the head restraint. See

Head restraints (page 74).

E75771

2. Route the tether strap to the anchor

point.

3. Push the child seat back firmly to

engage the ISOFIX lower anchor
points.

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 71).

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 cloudof 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.

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.

16

Occupant protection

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 71).

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 notwear 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.

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.

17

Occupant protection

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.

Occupant protection

SEAT BELT REMINDER

WARNING

The occupant protection system will

only provide optimum protection

when you use the seat belt properly.

The seat belt reminder warning
lamp illuminates and an audible

warning will sound if the driver's
seat belt has not been fastened and the
vehicle exceeds a relatively low speed. It
will also illuminate if the driver's seat belt
is unfastened when the vehicle is moving.
The audible warning will go off after five
minutes but the seat belt reminder
warning lamp will remain on until the
driver's seat belt is fastened.

Deactivating the seat belt
reminder

See your dealer.

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 52).

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.

28

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 the bonnet is opened with a valid
key.

•

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 23).

DISARMING THE ALARM

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

AUTOWIPERS

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.

E71013

speed of the wipers automatically.

33

Wipers and washers

Adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor
using the rotary control. With low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a lot of water on the
windscreen. With high sensitivity, the
wipers will operate if the sensor detects
a small amount of water on the
windscreen.

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.

•

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

112).

•

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

General points on starting

If the battery has been disconnected the
vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approx. 8 kilometres
(5 miles) after reconnecting the battery.

This is because the engine management
system must realign itself with the engine.
Any unusual driving characteristics during
this period may be disregarded.

Starting the engine by towing
or pushing

WARNING

To prevent damage you must not
push or tow start your vehicle. Use
booster cables and a booster

battery. See Using booster cables
(page 117).

IGNITION SWITCH

Ignition switch positions

Position 0

WARNING

Never return the key to the 0
position when the vehicle is in
motion.

Ignition off. When the key is removed from
the ignition switch, the steering column
lock will be activated as soon as the
steering wheel is turned.

Position I

Steering unlocked. Ignition and all main
electrical circuits are disabled. The ignition
key should not be left in this position for
too long to avoid discharging the battery.

Positon II

Ignition switched on, all electrical circuits
operational. Warning and indicator lamps
illuminate. This is the key position when
driving, and must also be selected when
being towed.

Postion III

Starter motor activated. Release the key
as soon as the engine starts.

STARTINGA DIESEL ENGINE

Cold or hot engine

Note:

When the temperature is below

-15ºC (5ºF), you may need to crank the
engine for up to 25 seconds. If you
consistently operate the vehicle in such
temperatures, we recommend that you
have an engine block heater fitted.

Note:

Continue cranking the engine until

it starts.

Note:

You can only operate the starter

for a maximum of 30 seconds at a time.

Switch the ignition on and wait
until the glow plug indicator
goes off.

Note:

Do not touch the accelerator

pedal.

1. Fully depress the clutch pedal.

2. Start the engine.

81

Starting the engine

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Vehicles with a turbocharger

CAUTION

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.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)

The DPF forms part of the emissions
reduction systems fitted to your vehicle.
It filters harmful diesel particulates (soot)
from the exhaust gas.

Regeneration

WARNING

Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves or dry grass or other

combustible material. The
regeneration process requires very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the
exhaust will radiate a considerable
amount of heat during and after
regeneration, and after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard.

Unlike a normal filter which requires
periodic replacement, the DPF has been
designed to regenerate, or clean itself to
maintain operating efficiency. The
regeneration process takes place
automatically. However, some driving
conditions mean that you may need to
support the regeneration process.

If you drive only short distances or your
journeys contain frequent stopping and
starting, occasional trips with the following
conditions could assist the regeneration
process:

•

Drive your vehicle, preferably on a
main road or motorway, for up to 20
minutes avoiding prolonged idling, but
always observing speed limits and
road conditions.

•

Do not switch off the ignition.

•

Use a lower gear than normal to
maintain a higher engine speed during
this journey, where appropriate.

82

Starting the engine

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS

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 - 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).

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

Driving with a catalytic
converter

CAUTIONS

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
Using booster cables (page 117).

Do not switch the ignition off when
driving.

Parking

WARNING

Do not park your vehicle over dry
leaves or dry grass. The exhaust will

continue to radiate a considerable
amount of heat after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard.

FUEL FILLER FLAP

All vehicles

WARNINGS

Take care when refuelling to avoid

spilling any residual fuel from the fuel

pipe nozzle.

We recommend that you wait at

least 10 seconds before removing

the fuel pipe nozzle to allow any
residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank.

83

Fuel and refuelling

Note:

When you remove the filler cap, a
hissing noise may be heard. This is normal
and should be disregarded.

incorrect fuel. This could damage the
engine. Have the system checked by a
properly trained technician immediately.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The CO2 and fuel consumption figures
are derived from laboratory tests
according to EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Disc brakes

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.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS

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

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

Applying the parking brake

E66567

WARNING

Make sure that the parking brake is
applied before you release the lever.

Note:

Do not press the release button

when you apply the parking brake.

1. Press the brake pedal firmly.

2. Pull the parking brake lever upwards
to its fullest extent.

Parking on a hill

If you have to park facing uphill, select first
gear and turn the front wheels away from
the kerb. If you have to park facing
downhill, select reverse gear and turn the
front wheels towards the kerb.

Releasing the parking brake

1. Press the brake pedal firmly.

2. Pull the parking brake lever upwards
slightly, press the release button and
push the lever downwards.

without ESPA

with ESPB

The ESP supports stability when the
vehicle starts to slide away from your
intended path. This is performed by
braking individual wheels and reducing
engine torque as needed.

The system also provides an enhanced
traction control function by reducing
engine torque if the wheels spin when you
accelerate. This improves your ability to
pull away on slippery roads or loose
surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting
wheel spin in hairpin bends.

Stability control (ESP) warning lamp

The ESP warning lamp will flash when the
system is operating. See Warning

lamps and indicators (page 52).

Emergency brake assist

WARNING

Emergency brake assist does not
relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention.

Emergency brake assist will detect when
you brake heavily by measuring the rate
at which you press the brake pedal. It will
provide maximum braking efficiency as
long as you press the pedal. Emergency
brake assist can reduce stopping
distances in critical situations.

USING STABILITY CONTROL

Note:

The system will be switched on
automatically every time you switch the
ignition on.

To turn the system off and on. See
Personalised settings (page 59).

88

Stability control

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.

89

Traction control

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The hill launch assist (HLA) system makes
it easier to pull away when the vehicle is
on a slope without the need to use the
parking brake.

When the HLA is active, the vehicle will
remain stationary on the slope for two to
three seconds after you release the brake
pedal. During this time, you have time to
move your foot from the brake to the
accelerator pedal and pull away. The
brakes are released automatically once
the engine has developed sufficient drive
to prevent the vehicle from rolling down
the slope. This is an advantage when
pulling away on a slope, for example from
a car park ramp, traffic lights or when
reversing uphill into a parking space.

WARNING

The HLA does not replace the
parking brake. When you leave the
vehicle, always apply the parking

brake and select first or reverse gear.

USING HILL START ASSIST

The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is stopped on a slope
greater than 3%. The system operates
with the vehicle facing downhill if reverse
gear is selected and with the vehicle
facing uphill if any forward gear is
selected.

Activating the system

WARNINGS

You must remain in the vehicle once
you have activated the system.

WARNINGS

The system is active only if the
green lamp illuminates in the

instrument cluster. During all times
you are responsible for controlling the
vehicle, supervising the system and
intervening, if required.

You can activate the system only if the
following conditions have been met:

•

The engine is running.

•

The parking brake is fully disengaged.

•

No failure mode is present.

To activate the system:

Make sure the system is enabled via the
trip control menu. See Information
displays (page 56).

1. Press the brake and clutch pedals to

bring the vehicle to a complete
standstill. Keep the brake and clutch
pedals depressed.

2. If the sensors detect that the vehicle

is on a slope the system will be
activated automatically and the green
lamp will illuminate in the instrument
cluster.

3. When you remove your foot from the

brake pedal, the vehicle will remain on
the slope without rolling away for
approximately two to three seconds.
This hold time will automatically be
extended if you are in the process of
driving off.

4. Drive off in the normal manner. The

brakes will be released automatically.

WARNING

If the engine is revved excessively,

or if a malfunction is detected when

the system is active, the system will
be deactivated and the green lamp will
go out.

Hill start assist

Deactivating the system

To deactivate the system, perform one
of the following:

•

Apply the parking brake.

•

Drive off uphill without re-applying the
brake.

•

Wait for two to three seconds until the
system deactivates automatically.

•

If the system is active in a forward
gear, select reverse gear.

•

If the system is active in neutral,
release the clutch pedal.

•

If the system is active in reverse gear,

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING

The parking aid does not relieve you
of your responsibility to drive with
due care and attention.

CAUTIONS

Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly detect obstacles.

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 parking aid does not detect
obstacles moving away from the

vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move towards
the vehicle again.

Take particular care when reversing

with a tow ball arm or rear fitted

accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as
the rear parking aid will only indicate the
distance from the bumper to the obstacle.

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:

On vehicles fitted with a tow ball
arm, the parking aid is deactivated
automatically when any trailer lamps (or
lighting boards) are connected to the
13-pin socket via a trailer tow module we
have approved.

Note:

Keep the sensors free from dirt,
ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp
objects.

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

WARNING

The parking aid does not relieve you
of your responsibility to drive with
due care and attention.

E77927

The parking aid is automatically activated
when you select reverse gear with the
ignition switched on.

You will hear an intermittent tone at a
distance of approximately 150
centimetres (59 inches) between the
obstacle and rear bumper and
approximately 50 centimetres (20 inches)
to the side. Decreasing the distance
accelerates the intermittent tone. A
continuous tone will start at a distance of
less than 30 centimetres (11 inches) to the
rear bumper.

92

TOWING A TRAILER

WARNING

Do not exceed the maximum
vehicle and trailer weight stated on
the vehicle identification plate. See

Vehicle identification (page 126).

Note:

Not all vehicles are suitable or
approved to have tow bars fitted. Check
with your dealer first.

Place loads as low and central to the
axle(s) of the trailer as possible. If you are
towing with an unladen vehicle, the load
in the trailer should be placed toward the
nose, within the maximum nose load, as
this gives the best stability.

Note:

The maximum trailer nose weight
can be found in the original vehicle
documents (confirmation of conformity).
Alternatively refer to your dealer.

The stability of the vehicle to trailer
combination is very much dependant on
the quality of the trailer.

In high altitude regions above 1 000
metres (3 281 feet), the stipulated
maximum permitted gross train weight
must be reduced by 10% for every
additional 1 000 metres (3 281 feet).
