ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Ford. We recommend that you take some time to get to know your vehicle by reading this manual. The more that you know about it, the greater the safety and pleasure you will get from driving it.

WARNING

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNING - 1

Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, crash and injury. We strongly recommend that you use extreme caution when using any device that may take your focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your vehicle. We recommend against the use of any hand-held device while driving and encourage the use of voice-operated systems when possible. Make sure you are aware of all applicable local laws that may affect the use of electronic devices while driving.

Note: This manual describes product features and options available throughout the range of available models, sometimes even before they are generally available. It may describe options not fitted to the vehicle you have purchased.

Note: Some of the illustrations in this manual may show features as used in different models, so may appear different to you on your vehicle. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.

Note: Always use and operate your vehicle in line with all applicable laws and regulations.

Note: Pass on this manual when selling your vehicle. It is an integral part of your vehicle.

This manual may qualify the location of a component as left-hand side or right-hand side. The side is determined when facing forward in the seat.

REPLACEMENT PARTS RECOMMENDATION

Your vehicle has been built to the highest standards using quality parts. We recommend that you demand the use of genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts whenever your vehicle requires scheduled maintenance or repair. You can clearly identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or Motorcraft branding on the parts or their packaging.

Scheduled Maintenance and Mechanical Repairs

One of the best ways for you to make sure that your vehicle provides years of service is to have it maintained in line with our recommendations using parts that conform to the specifications detailed in this Owner's Manual. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts meet or exceed these specifications.

Collision Repairs

We hope that you never experience a collision, but accidents do happen. Genuine Ford replacement collision parts meet our stringent requirements for fit, finish, structural integrity, corrosion protection and dent resistance. During vehicle development we validate these parts deliver the intended level of protection as a whole system. A great way to know for sure you are getting this level of protection is to use genuine Ford replacement collision parts.

Warranty on Replacement Parts

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement parts are the only replacement parts that benefit from a Ford Warranty. Damage caused to your vehicle as a result of the failure of non-Ford parts may not be covered by the Ford Warranty. For additional information, refer to the terms and conditions of the Ford Warranty.

Stopping the engine when the vehicle is moving

WARNING

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNING - 1

Switching off the engine when the vehicle is still moving will result in a loss of brake and steering assistance.

The steering will not be locked, but higher effort will be required. When the ignition is switched off some electrical circuits, warning lamps and indicators may also be OFF.

Diesel particulate filter (DPF)

WARNING

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNING - 1

Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other combustible materials. The DPF regeneration process creates very high exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during and after DPF regeneration, and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNINGS - 2

When you are using a group 0 or 0+ child seat with a support leg on a second row seat, make sure that you locate the support leg securely on the under floor storage compartment cover. Make sure that you install the foam spacer correctly inside the storage compartment, using any screws or fastenings provided and, that you position the cover correctly.

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNINGS - 3

If the under floor storage compartment foam spacer is damaged or missing, remove the storage compartment cover and extend the leg to the base of the compartment. If it is not possible to locate the leg securely on the base of the compartment, for example because of the shape or length of the leg, replace the foam spacer and compartment cover or select a different seating position in the vehicle.

WARNINGS

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNINGS - 1

If you want to use a child seat with a support leg, consult the child seat manufacturer's website or fitting instructions. You must make sure the child seat is compatible with your vehicle. Check for any special fitting instructions regarding the removal of the under floor storage compartment cover or the position of the second row seats. See Child Seat Positioning (page 23).

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNINGS - 2

On certain vehicles it is not possible to open or remove the left-hand compartment cover. See Storage compartments (page 140). For group 0 or 0+ child seats, this does not prevent the support leg being located on the cover. However, if any larger child seat that you may wish to use requires you to remove the cover and extend the leg to the base of the compartment, either select a different seating position in the vehicle or a different child seat.

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNINGS - 3

When using a forward facing child seat on a second or third row seat, always remove the head restraint from that seat. See Head Restraints (page 126).

FORD Galaxy (2012) - Electric child safety locks - 7

text_image 30° 30°

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.

Driver knee airbag

CAUTION

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTION - 1

Do not attempt to open the driver knee airbag cover.

The driver knee airbag will deploy during frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing a cushion between the driver's knees and the steering column. During overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the knee airbag will not deploy.

For item location: See At a Glance (page 9)..

Note: The knee airbag has a lower deployment threshold than the front airbags. During a minor collision, it is possible that only the knee airbag deploys.

WARNING

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNING - 1

The sensors must not be covered up. Do not activate the alarm with full guard if any persons, animals or other ng objects are inside the vehicle.

The sensors act as a deterrent against unauthorized intrusion by sensing any movement within the vehicle.

Battery back-up sounder

The battery back-up sounder is an extra alarm system which will sound a siren when the alarm is triggered. It is armed directly when you lock the vehicle. The sounder has its own battery and will sound an alarm siren even if someone disconnects the vehicle battery or the battery back-up sounder itself.

Tilt sensors

The tilt sensors detect if someone attempts to steal a wheel or tow the vehicle away by sensing changes in the inclination of the vehicle.

Note: When traveling on a ferry with the alarm armed, deactivate the tilt sensors by selecting reduced guard. This will prevent the alarm from being triggered by the movement.

Triggering the alarm

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

- If someone opens a door, the tailgate or the hood without a valid key or remote control.

- If someone removes the audio or navigation system.

- If the ignition is turned to position I, II or III without a valid key.

- If the interior sensors detect movement within the vehicle.

  • On vehicles with a battery back-up sounder, if someone disconnects the vehicle battery or the battery back-up sounder itself.
  • If the tilt sensors detect a change in the inclination of the vehicle.

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.

Full and reduced guard

Full guard

Full guard is the standard setting.

In full guard, the interior and tilt sensors are activated when you arm the alarm.

Note: This may result in false alarms if animals or moving objects are inside the vehicle or, on vehicles with tilt sensors, when traveling on a ferry.

Note: False alarms can also be triggered by the auxiliary heater. See Auxiliary Heater (page 120). If you are using the auxiliary heater, direct the air flow towards the footwell.

Reduced guard

In reduced guard, the interior and tilt sensors are deactivated when you arm the alarm.

Note: You can set the alarm to reduced guard for the current ignition cycle only. The next time you switch on the ignition, the alarm will be reset to full guard.

Ask on Exit

You can set the information display to ask you each time which level of guard you wish to set.

If you select Ask on Exit, the message Reduced guard? appears in the instrument cluster display each time you switch the ignition off.

If you wish to arm the alarm with reduced guard, press the OK button when this message appears.

If you wish to arm the alarm with full guard, leave the vehicle without pressing the OK button.

Selecting full or reduced guard

Note: Selecting Reduced does not set the alarm permanently to reduced guard. It sets it to reduced guard only for the current ignition cycle. If you regularly set the alarm to reduced guard, select Ask on Exit.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in Lamp Assemblies

Exterior lamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:

• The presence of a fine mist (no streaks, drip marks or large droplets).
• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation are:

• A water puddle inside the lamp.
- Streaks, drip marks or large droplets present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

Note: Keep the windscreen free from obstructions such as bird droppings, insects and snow or ice.

The system will automatically switch on main beam if it is dark enough and no other traffic is present. If it detects an approaching vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead the system will switch off main beam before it can distract other road users. Dipped beams will remain on.

A camera sensor is centrally mounted behind the windshield of the vehicle, and monitors conditions continuously to decide when to switch the high beam off and on.

Once the system is active the high beam will switch on if:

- It is dark enough to require the use of high beams and

- there is no traffic or street lighting ahead and

- vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph).

The high beam will switch off if:

• The ambient light is high enough that high beam is not required.

• An approaching vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps are detected.

- Street lighting is detected.

- Vehicle speed falls below 25 km/h (16 mph).

• The camera sensor is too hot or becomes blocked.

Activating the system

The system is not designed to prevent contact with other vehicles or objects. The system only provides a warning to assist you in detecting vehicles in the blind spot zones. The system will not detect obstacles, pedestrians, motorcyclists or cyclists.

Do not use the system as a replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors, and looking over your shoulder before changing lanes. The system is not a replacement for careful driving and is only to be used as an aid.

The system is a convenience feature that aids the driver in detecting vehicles that may have entered the blind spot zone (A). The detection area is on both sides of the vehicle extending rearwards from the exterior mirrors to approximately 3 meters (10 feet) beyond the bumper. The system will alert you if certain vehicles enter the blind spot zone whilst driving.

Note: Both indicators will illuminate briefly when you switch the ignition on to confirm that the system is operational.

Note: On vehicles with automatic transmission, the system is active only in S, D and N.

The system is only active when you exceed 10 km/h (6 mph). The system is temporarily deactivated when you select reverse gear.

System detection and alerts

The system will trigger the alert for vehicles that enter the blind spot zone from the rear or merge from the side. Vehicles that you pass, or vehicles that enter the blind spot zone from the front, will only trigger the alert after the vehicle has remained in the blind spot zone for a short period of time.

Note: Vehicles that pass through the blind zone quickly (typically less than 2 seconds) will not trigger the alert.

The system consists of two radar sensors each located behind the rear wheels hidden behind the bumpers.

CAUTIONS

Recirculated air

CAUTION

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTION - 1

Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to mist up. If the windows mist up, follow the settings defrosting and demisting the dshield.

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 ( 39^ F).

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.

General information on controlling the interior climate

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the interior

Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or humid weather conditions, direct some of the air towards the windshield and the door windows.

AUXILIARY HEATER

Parking heater

WARNING

The parking heater must not be operated at filling stations, near sources of combustible vapors or dust or in enclosed spaces.

The parking heater operates independently of the vehicle heater by heating the engine's coolant circuit. It is fed from the vehicle fuel tank. You can also use it while the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle heater warm up the interior more quickly.

Used properly, the parking heater provides the following benefits:

  • It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
  • It keeps the windows clear of ice in the event of frost and prevents condensation.
  • It avoids cold starts and allows the engine to reach operating temperature sooner.

Note: The parking heater will only operate if there is at least 7.5 liters (1.6 gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank and the ambient temperature is below 15^ C ( 59^ F). The heater will not operate if the battery is low.

Note: The heating depends on the outside air temperature.

Note: When the parking heater is activated, exhaust fumes may come from under the sides of the vehicle. This is normal.

Note: On vehicles with a manual heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, the heating of the vehicle interior is dependent on the temperature, air distribution and blower control settings.

To prevent the battery from discharging:

  • Once the parking heater has performed one heating cycle, the next programmed heating cycle will only be carried out if you have started the vehicle's engine in between.
  • After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle for at least the period of the heating cycle.

Program the parking heater

Note: The programmed time is the time at which you wish the vehicle to be warm and ready to drive, not the time at which the heater switches on.

Note: You must program the times at least 70 minutes in advance of the time you wish to set.

Note: You must set the time and date correctly. See Clock (page 137).

To program the heating times:

If the engine does not start, wait for a short period and try again.

If the engine does not start after three attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow the flooded engine procedure.

If you have difficulty starting the engine when the temperature is below -25^ ( -13^ ), press the accelerator pedal to the mid-way point of its travel and try again.

Flooded engine

Vehicles with manual transmission

  1. Fully depress the clutch pedal.
  2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and hold it there.
  3. Start the engine.

Engine idle speed after starting

The speed at which the engine idles immediately after starting will vary depending on the engine temperature.

The idle speed is automatically increased when the engine is cold this is to heat the catalytic converter. This keeps the vehicle emissions to an absolute minimum.

The idle speed will slowly decrease to the normal level as the catalytic converter warms up.

STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE - E85

For general information on starting a gasoline engine. See Starting a Gasoline Engine (page 148).

Starting at low ambient temperatures

When the temperature is lower than -10^ ( 14^ ) and the vehicle is filled with E85, an engine block heater should be used to facilitate starting. See Engine Block Heater (page 150). Failure to do this will result in a non start.

If the temperature is expected to remain below -10°C (14°F), it is recommended that you increase the proportion of gasoline in the tank by topping up with 95 octane unleaded gasoline if the tank is not already full. About 10 liters (2.2 gallons) of gasoline will reduce the proportion of E85 in a 34 full tank from 85% to 70% and will considerably improve cold start capability.

If, at very low temperatures, the tank is filled with only E85 and there is no way to use an engine block heater, you may experience difficulties starting the engine.

If the engine fails to start, proceed as follows:

  1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
  2. Turn the ignition key to position III.

CAUTION

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTION - 1

Release the ignition key as soon as the engine has started.

  1. Gradually release the accelerator pedal after five seconds of engine cranking or as the engine speed rises.

If the engine fails to start, repeat steps 1, 2 and 3, or connect an engine block heater for two hours before attempting another start.

During starting, the fuel injectors are turned off as long as the accelerator pedal is depressed. This can be used to drain excessive fuel from the intake manifold after several unsuccessful starting attempts.

If the battery has been disconnected or after the fuel type has been changed, the idle speed may be irregular. This will improve after 10 to 30 seconds.

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE

Cold or hot engine

All vehicles

Note: When the temperature is below -15^ ( 5^ ), you may need to crank the engine for up to 25 seconds.

Note: Continue cranking the engine until it starts.

Note: You can only operate the starter for a maximum of 30 seconds at a time.

FORD Galaxy (2012) - All vehicles - 1

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

Vehicles with manual transmission

  2. Start the engine.

Vehicles with automatic transmission

  1. Select park or neutral.
  2. Fully depress the brake pedal.
  3. Start the engine.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER

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

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNING - 1

Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other combustible materials. The DPF regeneration process creates very high exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during and after DPF regeneration, and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.

CAUTION

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTION - 1

Avoid running out of fuel.

Note: During regeneration at low speed or engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic odor and could notice a clicking metallic sound. This is due to the high temperatures reached during regeneration and is normal.

Note: After you have switched your engine off the fans may continue to run for a short period of time.

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, where there is increased acceleration and deceleration, occasional trips with the following conditions will assist the regeneration process:

  • Drive your vehicle at a constant speed, preferably on a main road or highway, for up to 20 minutes.
  • Avoid prolonged idling and always observe 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.

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.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

CAUTION

Without ESCA

With ESCB

The system 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 (ESC) warning lamp

While driving, it flashes during activation of the system. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 85).

The system makes it easier to pull away when the vehicle is on a slope without the need to use the parking brake.

When the system is active, the vehicle will remain stationary on the slope for a short time 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

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNING - 1

The system 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 HLA can operate in either automatic or manual mode. If you select automatic mode, the HLA is activated automatically when the vehicle is on a slope and you press the brake pedal. If you select manual mode, you must activate the HLA using the brake pedal.

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTIONS - 5

The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detect a vehicle other than the one elected or not detect any vehicle at all.

Note: When adaptive cruise control is activated, you may hear some unusual sounds during automatic braking. This is normal and caused by the automatic braking system.

Note: Keep the front of the vehicle free from dirt, metal badges or objects, including vehicle front protectors and additional lights which may prevent the sensor from operating.

The system is designed to help you maintain a gap from the vehicle ahead or a set road speed if there is no slower vehicle ahead. The system is intended to provide enhanced operation of the vehicle when following other vehicles which are in the same lane and traveling in the same direction.

The system is based on the use of a radar sensor which projects a beam directly forward of the vehicle. This beam will detect any vehicle ahead within the system's range.

The radar sensor is mounted behind the front grille.

Detection issues can occur:

  • With vehicles that edge into your lane that can only be detected once they have moved fully into your lane (A). Motorcycles may be detected late, or not at all. (B)
  • With vehicles in front when going into and coming out of a bend (C). The detection beam will not follow sharp curves in the road.

In these cases the system may brake late or unexpectedly. You should stay alert and intervene if necessary.

Automatic braking with ACC

WARNINGS

You must take immediate action once alerted, as the adaptive cruise control braking will not be sufficient to keep a safe distance to the vehicle in front.

In some cases there may be no warning or the warning may be delayed. You should always apply the brakes when necessary.

When following a vehicle in front of you, adaptive cruise control will not automatically decelerate to a stop.

The system will automatically brake for you, if required to maintain the set gap between your vehicle and the one detected in front. This braking capacity is limited to approximately 30% of the total manual braking capacity to ensure smooth and comfortable cruising. If the car needs to brake more heavily than this, and you do not intervene by braking manually, an alarm will sound and a warning symbol will be displayed in the cluster.

USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

The system is operated by adjustment controls mounted on the steering wheel.

Setting the vehicle gap

CAUTION

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTION - 1

Use the appropriate gap setting in accordance with local traffic regulations.

Note: The gap setting is time dependant and therefore the distance will automatically adjust with your speed. For example on a gap setting of four bars, the time gap is 1.8 seconds. This will mean that at a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph), the distance to the vehicle in front will be maintained at 50 meters (164 feet).

Note: If the accelerator is depressed for a short period, for example when overtaking, the system is temporarily deactivated and then reactivated when the accelerator pedal is released. A message is displayed in the information display.

Note: The gap setting will remain unchanged during ignition cycles.

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTION - 2

natural_image Top-down diagram of a car with dashed lane lines indicating road or traffic (no text or symbols)

The distance between you and the vehicle detected in front is maintained by a variable setting. There are five steps which are represented by horizontal bars displayed in the information display. One bar denotes the smallest gap and five bars indicate the largest gap. These bars are shown empty when in standby mode and filled when in active mode.

If no vehicle is detected in front, then only your vehicle is displayed in the information display below the bars. The system will maintain the set speed when conditions permit. The set gap is maintained and displayed.

If a vehicle is detected by the sensor, the display will show another vehicle above the horizontal bars:

E82312

natural_image Simple line drawing of a person's head and torso with horizontal stripes (no text or symbols)

This is a follow mode, and the system will accelerate or decelerate as necessary to maintain the set gap.

Press switch E to decrease the gap or switch D to increase the gap. The gap selected will be represented by the number of bars in the display.

Note: The recommended gap setting is four to five bars.

Temporarily deactivating the system

Note: The system is canceled when the gear lever is moved to a neutral position or if the accelerator pedal or clutch is depressed for a long period of time.

Press either the brake or switch B to cancel the system. The system will return to standby mode allowing you full manual control of the vehicle. The set speed and gap setting are retained in the memory.

To resume adaptive cruise control press switch H. The system will resume with the previously set speed and vehicle gap setting if conditions permit.

Switching the system off

Vehicles without speed limiter

Press switch C to turn the system off.

Note: When deactivating the system by pressing switch C, the stored speed is not retained.

Vehicles with speed limiter

Press switch A to turn the system off.

Note: When deactivating the system by pressing switch A, the stored speed is not retained.

Automatic deactivation

Note: If the engine speed drops too low, a message is displayed in the information display instructing you to change down a gear (manual transmission only). If you do not follow this recommendation then the system will go into automatic deactivation mode.

Note: The system will not operate if the electronic stability control (ESC) has been manually switched off.

The system is dependent on various other safety systems, for example ABS and ESC. If any of these systems are malfunctioning or reacting to an emergency, the system is automatically deactivated.

In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message is displayed in the information display. See Information Messages (page 102). You must then intervene and adapt your driving and speed to vehicles in front.

An automatic deactivation can be due to the:

  • vehicle speed falling below 30 km/h (20 mph)
    •wheels losing traction
  • brake temperature is high, for example when driving on mountainous or hilly roads
  • engine speed is too low
  • radar sensor is covered
  • parking brake or electric parking brake (EPB) is applied.

FORWARD ALERT FUNCTION

WARNINGS

Never wait for a collision warning. When driving you are responsible for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when the system is used.

The system will only react to vehicles in front traveling in the same direction and will not react to slow or stationary vehicles.

Never drive in a manner to provoke the system. The system is designed to assist in emergencies only.

CAUTIONS

Warnings may be triggered late, be absent or triggered unnecessarily due to detection beam issues. See Principle of Operation (page 182).

The system uses the same radar sensors as adaptive cruise control and therefore has the same limitations. See Principle of Operation (page 182).

Note: The brake support system only reduces the collision speed if you brake immediately once alerted.

Note: If the brake pedal is depressed sufficiently quickly then braking is implemented with full brake function, even if the force on the pedal is light.

Note: Brake support prepares the brake system for rapid braking and the brakes are applied gently, which may be noticed as a slight jerk.

Note: The collision alerts will only occur if the system is switched on, however the brake support is always on and cannot be turned off.

Note: The system may be used with or without the adaptive cruise control system being activated.

The system assists you by warning of the risk of a collision with a vehicle in front.

The system alerts you by warning chimes and a visual warning in the information display. See Information Messages (page 102).

Brake support is activated to enable full braking effectiveness, and reduce the severity of a collision with the vehicle in front.

Switching the system on and off

Note: When the system is switched off, a warning indicator will remain illuminated in the information display. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 85).

Note: The system status and settings will remain unchanged during ignition cycles.

The system can be switched on and off using the information display. See General Information (page 89).

Adjusting the warning sensitivity

You may adjust the system warning sensitivity using the buttons on the steering wheel. See General Information (page 89). This controls how early the visual and audible warning is activated.

When you are going downhill, your speed may increase above the set speed. The system will not apply the es but a warning will be given.

The system allows you to set a speed, to which the vehicle then becomes limited. The set speed will become the effective maximum speed of the vehicle, but with the option to temporarily exceed this limit if required.

USING THE SPEED LIMITER

The system is operated by adjustment controls mounted on the steering wheel.

Press button A to switch the system on and off. The information display will prompt for a speed to be set.

Note: The set speed limit can be intentionally exceeded for a short period if required, for example when overtaking.

Switching the system on and off

Note: The system status will remain unchanged during ignition cycles.

Activate the system using the information display. See Information Displays (page 89).

Once activated the system will calculate your alertness level based upon your driving behavior in relation to the lane markings, and other factors.

System warnings

Note: The system will not issue warnings below approximately 65 km/h (40 mph).

The warning system is in two stages. At first the system issues a temporary warning that a rest should be taken. This message will only appear for a short time. If a rest is not then taken a further warning may be issued which will remain in the information display until canceled. See Information Messages (page 102).

Press OK on the steering wheel control to remove the warning.

System display

When active the system will run automatically in the background and only issue warnings if required. You can view the status at any time using the information display. See General Information (page 89).

The alertness level is shown by six steps as a colored bar.

Alertness level is fine, no rest required.

FORD Galaxy (2012) - System display - 2

natural_image Simple line icons showing a steering wheel and a steaming cup, connected by a dashed line (no text or symbols)

E131359

Alertness level is critical, indicating that a rest should be taken as soon as safely possible.

The status bar will travel from left to right as the calculated alertness level decreases. As the rest icon is approached the color turns from green to yellow and then finally red when a rest break must be taken.

  • Green - No rest required.
  • Yellow - First (temporary) warning.
  • Red - Second warning.

Note: The alertness level will be shown in grey if the camera sensor cannot track the road lane markings or if the vehicle speed drops below approximately 65 km/h (40 mph).

Resetting the system

You can reset the system by either:

  • Switching the ignition off and on.
  • Stopping the vehicle and then opening and closing the driver's door.

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

Before you can receive traffic announcements, you must press the TA button. Either TA-D or TA-L will be shown in the display to indicate that the feature is switched on.

If you are already tuned to a station that broadcasts traffic information, TP will also be shown in the display. Otherwise the unit will search for a traffic program and display TP SEEK while doing so. If it cannot locate such a station, NOT FOUND will be shown in the display.

TP will be shown within a box in the display when you are tuned to a station providing traffic information from a linked RDS (radio data system) or EON (enhanced other network) station.

When traffic information is broadcast, it will automatically interrupt normal radio, tape or CD playback and TRAFFIC or NEWS will be shown in the display.

If the traffic signal weakens, TP will flash in the display. Press the seek up or seek down button (the left or right navigation button on Sony or Sony DAB audio units) to find another station.

Note: If this happens during CD or AUX playback or, on certain models, with the radio volume set to zero, the unit will retune automatically if the station is not available.

If a non-traffic station is selected or recalled using a preset button, the audio unit will remain on that station unless TA is turned off, then on again.

Note: If TA is on and you select a preset or manual tune to a non TA station no traffic announcement will be heard.

ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES

Many programs broadcast on the FM waveband have a programme identification (PI) code, which can be recognized by audio units.

If your radio has alternative frequencies (AF) tuning switched on and you move from one transmission area to another, this function will search for and switch to a stronger station signal, if one can be found.

Under certain conditions, however, AF tuning may temporarily disrupt normal reception.

When selected, the unit continually evaluates signal strength and, if a better signal becomes available, the unit will switch to that alternative. It mutes while it checks a list of alternative frequencies and, if necessary, it will search once across the selected waveband for a genuine alternative frequency.

It will restore radio reception when it finds one or, if one is not found, the unit will return to the original stored frequency. On certain units, NOT FOUND will be shown in the display.

With AF-MAN selected, the unit operates in a similar way to AF-AUTO or AF-ON, but only searches for an alternative frequency when prompted by pressing a preset button.

With AF-OFF selected, the original stored frequency remains selected. In this mode, AF-OFF will be displayed every time the unit is turned on.

All except Sony and Sony DAB

REGIONAL MODE (REG)

Regional mode (REG) controls the behavior of AF switching between regionally related networks of a parent broadcaster. A broadcaster may run a fairly large network across a large part of the country. At various times of the day this large network may be broken down into a number of smaller regional networks, typically centered on major towns or cities. When the network is not split into regional variants, the whole network caries the same programming.

Regional mode ON: This prevents 'random' AF switches when neighboring regional networks are not carrying the same programming.

Regional mode OFF: This allows a larger coverage area if neighboring regional networks are carrying the same programming, but can cause 'random' AF switches if they are not.

All except Sony and Sony DAB

  1. Press and hold the MENU button until the display changes.
  2. Press the MENU button repeatedly until REG is shown in the display.

Voice recognition enables operation of the system without the need to divert your attention from the road ahead in order to change settings, or receive feedback from the system.

Whenever you issue one of the defined commands with the system active, the voice recognition system converts your command into a control signal for the system. Your inputs take the form of dialogues or commands. You are guided through these dialogues by announcements or questions.

Please familiarize yourself with the functions of the system before using voice recognition.

Supported commands

The voice control system allows you to control the following vehicle functions:

  • Bluetooth phone
    ·radio
  • CD Player/CD Changer
  • external device (USB)
  • external device (iPod)
  • automatic climate control
  • navigation system - refer to separate navigation handbook.

System response

As you work through a voice session the system will prompt you with a beep tone each time the system is ready to proceed. Do not try to give any commands until the beep tone has been heard. The voice control system will repeat each spoken command back to you.

If you are not sure how to continue say "HELP" for assistance or "CANCEL" if you do not wish to continue.

The "HELP" function provides only a subset of the available voice commands. Detailed explanations of all possible voice commands can be found on the following pages.

Voice commands

All voice commands should be given using a natural speaking voice, as if speaking to a passenger or on the phone. Your voice level should be dependant on the surrounding noise level inside or outside the vehicle but do not shout.

USING VOICE CONTROL

GENERAL INFORMATION

CAUTIONS

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTIONS - 1

Take care when handling external devices with exposed electrical connectors (such as the USB plug).

Always replace the protective cap/shield when possible. There may be a risk of electrostatic discharge causing damage to the device.

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTIONS - 2

Do not touch or handle the USB socket in the vehicle. Cover the socket when not in use.

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTIONS - 3

Only use USB Mass-Storage device compliant devices.

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTIONS - 4

Always switch your audio unit to a different source (for example the radio) before unplugging the USB ce.

FORD Galaxy (2012) - CAUTIONS - 5

Do not install or connect USB hubs or splitters.

Note: The system is only designed to recognize and read suitable audio files from a USB device that conforms to the USB Mass-Storage device class or an iPod. Not all available USB devices can be guaranteed to function with the system.

Note: It is possible to connect compatible devices with a trailing USB lead as well as those that plug into the vehicle USB socket directly (for example USB memory sticks and pen drives).

Note: Some USB devices with a higher power consumption may not be compatible (for example some larger hard drives).

Note: Access time to read the files on the external device will vary depending upon factors such as the file structure, size and device content.

The system supports a range of external devices, to fully integrate with your audio unit via the USB and auxiliary input sockets. Once connected, control of the external device is possible via the audio unit.

A list of typical compatible devices are shown below:

  • USB memory sticks
  • USB portable hard drives
    • Some MP3 players with USB connection
  • iPod media players (refer to www.ford-mobile -connectivity.com for latest compatibility list).

The system is USB 2.0 full speed compatible, USB 1.1 host compliant and supports FAT 16/32 file systems.

Information on audio file structures for external devices

USB

Create only a single partition on the USB device.

We recommend that you put MP3 files in a folder.

If playlists are created, they must contain correct file paths referenced to the USB device. It is recommended to create the playlist after the audio files have been transferred to the USB device.

Playlists must be created in .m3u format.

Audio files must be in .mp3 format.

Do not exceed the following limits:

  • 1000 items per folder (files, folders and playlists)
  • 5000 folders per USB device (including playlists)
  • 8 subfolder levels.

To enable voice control for custom playlists and folders, follow the procedure below:

  • Create folders named with the structure "Ford<*>" where <*> is a number 1-10. For example "Ford3" without an extension.
  • Create playlists named with the structure "Ford<*>.m3u" where <*> is a number 1-10. For example "Ford5.m3u" without any space between "Ford" and the number.

Thereafter, custom folders and playlists will be selectable with voice control. See Audio unit commands (page 300).

iPod

To enable voice control for custom playlists, create playlists named with the structure "Ford<*>" where <*> is a number 1-10. For example "Ford7" without any space between "Ford" and the number.

Thereafter, playlists will be selectable with voice control. See Audio unit commands (page 300).

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL DEVICE

WARNING

FORD Galaxy (2012) - WARNING - 1

Make sure the external device is securely mounted within the vehicle, and that trailing connections do not act any of the driving controls.

External devices may be connected using the auxiliary input socket and the USB port. See Audio Input Jack (page 143). See USB Port (page 144).

Connection

Plug in the device, and if necessary secure it to prevent movement within the vehicle.

Connecting an iPod

For optimum convenience and audio quality, we recommend that you purchase a dedicated single connection lead available from your dealer.

Alternatively, it is possible to connect your iPod using the standard iPod USB cable and a separate 3.5mm audio jack lead. If using this method preset the iPod volume to maximum and turn off any equalizer settings before making the connections:

  • Connect the headphone output of the iPod to the AUX IN socket.
  • Connect the USB cable from the iPod to the vehicle USB socket.

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL DEVICE

Connecting a Bluetooth audio device

CAUTION

As various standards exist, manufacturers are able to implement a variety of profiles in their Bluetooth devices. Because of this, an incompatibility can occur between the Bluetooth device and the system, which in some cases may limit system functionality. To avoid this situation, only recommended devices should be used.

Please visit the website www.ford-mobile-connectivity.com for full details.

Bonding the device

Note: Some audio and navigation units have a separate Bluetooth audio menu. Use this to access setup and control.

To connect the device to the system follow the same procedure as for Bluetooth hands free phones. See Bluetooth setup (page 293).
