AUTO-START-STOP SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

The Auto-Start-Stop device automatically stops the engine each time the vehicle is stationary and starts it again when the driver wants to resume driving.

This improves the efficiency of the vehicle by reducing fuel consumption, the emission of harmful gases and noise pollution.

The system operates every time the car is started.

Note if climate comfort is to be favoured, the Start&Stop system can be disabled, for a continuous operation of the climate control system.

OPERATING MODES

Engine stopping mode

With the vehicle stationary, the engine stops with the gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal released.

Note The Auto-Start-Stop function is automatically turned off if the speed of 10 km/h is not exceeded for about 2 seconds, to prevent the engine from being repeatedly stopped when driving at walking pace.

The engine being stopped is signalled by a symbol @ the display.

Engine restarting mode

Depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine.

MANUAL ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION

The device can be activated/deactivated by the button (A) the dashboard (see "Controls" paragraph).

HOW TO PAIR YOUR MOBILE PHONE

IMPORTANT This operation should only be carried out with the car stationary.

To pair your mobile phone, proceed as follows:

☐ Press ⬆ and say “Settings” then, at the end of the Ford Audio message say “Pairing”.

☐ The system will show the phone pairing PIN number on the multifunction display. For the next two steps, consult your mobile phone manual regarding Bluetooth® pairing.

☐ On your mobile phone, search for devices equipped with Bluetooth® technology (the setting on your mobile phone might be called Search or New Device). Find “Ford Audio” in this list (the name that identifies the Ford Audio system in your vehicle) and select it.
☐ When the mobile phone requests it, enter the PIN displayed on the instrument panel display with your mobile phone keypad. If pairing is successful, the system will say "Connecting" and at the end the display will show, as confirmation, the ID of the paired mobile phone.

It is essential to wait until you see this confirmation message on the display. Pressing /MAIN or /ESC before the message is displayed may cancel the pairing process. If the registration fails, an error message will appear; in this case, you will need to repeat the procedure.

☐ After registering the mobile phone, when you first connect, Ford Audio will say "Welcome". In the subsequent registration procedures or connection of the same phone, this message will not be said anymore.

☐ Ford Audio asks you if you want to copy the mobile phone phonebook just registered on the Ford Audio system. You are advised to copy the phonebook.

To proceed with copying, say "Yes"; if you do not want to copy the phonebook, say "No".

☐ On some compatible mobile phones the names in the directory are not copied automatically, but have to be transferred by the user using the mobile phone keypad.

If Ford Audio asks you to do this, perform this procedure following the instructions specific to your mobile phone and press ↘/MAIN when you have finished.

SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some of the components of your vehicle. These labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component.

THE FORD CODE SYSTEM

To further protect your car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

Each time the car is started by turning the ignition key to MAR - ON, the Ford CODE system control unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.

If, during ignition, the code is not correctly recognized, the light lights up on the instrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR-ON; if the lock continues, possibly try with the other keys provided with the car. Contact

a Ford Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be stored by the system electronic control unit. Contact the Ford Dealership to have new keys (up to eight) stored with the code.

Warning light 📋 coming on when driving

☐ If the warning light ☐ turns on, this means that the system is running a self-diagnosis (for example due to a voltage drop).

☐ If the problem persists, contact the Ford Dealership.

Violent shocks may damage the electronic components inside the key.

TRIP COMPUTER

General information

The “Trip computer” is used to display information on car operation when the key is turned to MAR-ON. This function is composed of separate trips, called “Trip A” and “Trip B” which can monitor the entire mission (journey) in a reciprocally independent manner.

Both functions can be reset (reset means start of a new journey).

"Trip A" is used to display the figures relating to:

• Range
• Distance
  – Average consumption
  – Current consumption
  – Average speed
  – Travel time (driving time).

"Trip B" shall be used to display the figures relating to:

• Distance B
  – Average consumption B
  – Average speed B
  – Trip time B (driving time).
• Reset trip B

Note "Trip B" may be excluded.

"Range" and "Instant consumption" parameters cannot be reset.

Values displayed

Range

This value shows the distance that the car can still cover before needing fuel, assuming that driving conditions are kept unvaried. The display will show the reading “----” when the following events take place:

• range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
• car parked with engine running for a long period.

IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several factors: driving style (see “Driving style” in the “Starting and driving” section), type of route (motorway, towns and cities, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the above into account.

Distance travelled

This value shows the distance covered from the start of the new journey.

Average consumption

This value shows the approximate average fuel consumption from the start of the new journey.

Instantaneous consumption

This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is constantly updated. The message “----” will appear on the display if the car is parked with the engine running.

HEADLIGHTS

HEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING

The correct aiming of the headlights is important for the comfort and safety of not only the driver but all other road users. This is also covered by a specific rule of the highway code.

The headlights must be correctly aimed to guarantee the best visibility conditions for all drivers while travelling with headlights on.

Contact a Ford Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted.

Check beam aiming every time the load or its distribution changes.

A B

fig. 49
KA00040m

BEAM ADJUSTMENT fig. 49

The car is fitted with electric adjustment of the beams, operating with ignition key at MAR-ON and dipped headlights on.

When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This means the headlight beam rises.

In that case, it is necessary to perform beams adjustment with buttons A and B.

The display supplies a visual indication of positions.

Correct positions depending on the load

Position 0 – one or two passengers on front seats.

Position I – four passengers.

Position 2 – four passengers + load in the boot.

Position 3 - driver + maximum admitted load in the boot.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN ABROAD

Dipped headlights are adjusted to drive in the country where the vehicle was originally purchased. When travelling in countries with opposite driving direction, to avoid dazzling the drivers on the other side of the road, you need to cover areas of the headlight according to the Highway code of the country you are travelling in.

ALIGNMENT OF FRONT FOG LIGHTS (where provided)

Contact a Ford Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted.

ABS SYSTEM

This system, an integral part of the braking system, which prevents the wheels from locking when braking, makes the most of road grip and gives the best control when emergency braking under difficulty road conditions.

The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Distribution) completes the system allowing the brake force to be distributed between the front and rear wheels.

IMPORTANT To get the maximum efficiency of the braking system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is needed: during this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.

ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION

The driver can feel that the ABS system has come into action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system gets noisier: it means that the car speed should be altered to suit the type of road surface.

WARNING

When the ABS cuts in and you feel the brake pedal, do not raise your foot, so it pressed; in doing so you in the shortest amount possible depending on vent road conditions.

WARNING

The ABS system exploits the tyre-road grip at best, but it cannot improve it. Therefore, you should take great care when driving on slippery surfaces without taking unnecessary risks.

FAILURE WARNINGS

ABS failure

This is indicated by the turning on of warning light (ans) on the instrument panel together with the dedicated message on the multifunction display (where provided), (see section "Warning lights and messages").

In this case, the braking system will still be effective, although without the extra capacity offered by the ABS system. Drive carefully to the nearest Ford Dealership to have the system checked.

EBD failure

EBD failure is indicated by the turning on of warning lights ( ^③ ) and ( ^① ) on the instrument panel together with the dedicated message on the reconfigurable multifunction display, see section “Warning lights and messages”.

In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive carefully to the nearest Ford Dealership to have the system checked.

WARNING

If warning light (①) only lights up on the instrument

panel, (with a message on the reconfigurable multifunction display, where provided), immediately stop the car and contact the nearest Ford Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic fluid from the braking system will compromise the operation of the braking system, whether it is of the conventional type or with ABS.

ESP SYSTEM (Electronic Stability Program) (where provided)

This is an electronic system controlling car stability in the event of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain directional control.

The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when grip conditions of road surfaces change.

With the ESP, the car is provided with ASR (traction control with interventions on brakes and engine), HILL HOLDER (device for starting on gradients without using the brakes), MSR (control of engine braking torque when shifting gear down) and HBA (automatic increase of braking pressure in the case of emergency braking).

SYSTEM INTERVENTION

It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car is in critical stability and grip conditions.

System engagement

The ESP system comes on automatically when the vehicle is started and cannot be turned off.

Failure warnings

In the event of a failure, the ESP system will be automatically switched off and warning light will appear on the instrument panel along with a message on the reconfigurable multifunction display (where provided). The LED on the ASR OFF button will light up. Contact Ford Dealership.

WARNING

Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your vehicle

is fitted with an ESP system. Your driving style must always be suited to the road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is ultimately responsible for road safety.

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM (where provided)

It is integral to the ESP system. It automatically activates with the following conditions:

☐ uphill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradient higher than 2%, engine
running, clutch and brake pedal pressed, gearbox in neutral or engaged gear other than reverse.
☐ downhill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradient higher than 2%, engine running, clutch and brake pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.

When setting off the ESP system control unit will keep brake force on wheels until the torque necessary for starting is reached, or in any case for max. 2 seconds in order to pass easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

When two seconds have elapsed, without starting, the system is automatically deactivated, gradually releasing the braking pressure. During this release stage, the typical mechanical brake release noise can be heard, indicating that the car is about to move.

Failure warnings

A system failure is indicated by the turning on of warning light ☐ on the instrument panel together with the dedicated message on the multifunction display (where provided), see section "Warning lights and messages".

WARNING

The Hill Holder system is not a parking brake, therefore do not leave the car without activating the handbrake, switching off the engine, and engaging first gear.

WARNING

If the space-saver wheel is used, the ESP system keeps operating. Always remember that the space-saver wheel, being smaller than the original wheel, provides less grip.

For the correct operation of the ESP and ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of the type, make and size specified.

ASR SYSTEM

(Antislip Regulation) (where provided)

This is integral to the ESP system and automatically intervenes if one or both drive wheels slip, helping the driver to control the car.

The action of the ASR system is particularly helpful in the following circumstances:

☐ slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to the effect of dynamic load changes or excessive acceleration;
□ too much power transmitted to the wheels also in relation to the conditions of the road surface;
□ acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy surfaces;
☐ in the event of loss of grip on a wet surface.

A 扣05 OFF C fig. 50 KA00193m

MSR system (engine braking torque control)

This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in the event of a sudden gear downshifting, cuts in and provides torque to the engine thus preventing excessive drive wheel drive which, especially in poor grip conditions, can lead to loss of stability.

Switching the ASR system on/off fig. 50

The ASR can work only when the ignition key is on MAR-ON.

Whilst driving, the ASR can be switched off and subsequently switched on again by pressing the C ASR OFF button.

When the system is active, a message on the reconfigurable multifunction display (where provided) is displayed.

When the system is not active, the LED on the button ASR OFF turns on and a message on the reconfigurable multifunction display (where provided) is displayed. When the ASR is switched off whilst driving, the next time the car is started up the ASR is automatically switched on by the system.

When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when moving off makes it possible to obtain better traction.

EOBD SYSTEM

The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) carries out a continuous diagnosis of the components of the car related to emissions. It also alerts the driver, by turning on the warning light ☐ on the instrument panel (together with relevant message on the multifunction display, where provided), when these components are no longer in peak conditions (see section "Warning lights and messages").

The goal of the system is to:

☐ keep the system efficiency under control;
☐ warn when a failure causes emissions levels to increase;
□ warn of the need to replace deteriorated components.

The system also has a diagnosis connector that can be interfaced to suitable instruments, to read the error codes stored in the control unit together with a series of specific parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.

This check can also be carried out by traffic control authorities.

IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check the system completely, Ford Dealerships are obliged to run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey.

Go to a Ford Dealership as soon as possible if the warning light ☐ does not light up when the key is

turned to MAR-ON or if, during car travel, the warning light comes on either steady or blinking (along with a message on the display).

The operation of the warning light

may be checked by the traffic control authorities using specific devices. Always comply with the traffic regulations in force in the country where you are driving.

PARKING SENSORS (where provided)

Parking sensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 51 and their function is to inform the driver, through an intermittent buzzer, about the presence of obstacles behind the car.

ACTIVATION

The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse gear is engaged. As the distance from the obstacle behind the car decreases, the beeping becomes more frequent.

Line drawing of a car's front bumper with motion lines indicating sound or vibration (no text or symbols)

fig. 51

BUZZER WARNING

When reverse gear is engaged and there is an obstacle behind the car a buzzer is activated and the signal varies as the distance of the obstacle from the bumper varies.

The beep frequency:

☐ becomes louder as the distance between car and obstacle decreases;
☐ becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the obstacle is less than around 30 cm and stops immediately if the distance increases;
☐ is constant if the distance is unvaried; if this situation concerns the side sensors, the buzzer will stop after about 3 seconds to avoid, for example, warning indications in the event of manoeuvres along walls.

If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the nearest one is considered.

FAILURE WARNINGS

Parking sensor failures, if any, will be indicated when engaging reverse by the turning on of the instrument panel warning light △ together with the message on the multifunction display, where provided (see section "Warning lights and messages").

For correct operation, sensors must always be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not

to scratch or damage the sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The sensors should be washed using clean water with the addition of car shampoo if necessary. When using special washing equipment such as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors very quickly keeping the jet more than 10 cm away.

GENERAL WARNINGS

☐ When parking, watch out for obstacles that may be above or under the sensors.
Sometimes, objects placed close to the car are not detected and could therefore cause damage to the car or be damaged themselves.

Some of the conditions that could affect the performance of the parking system are described below:

☐ Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the parking assistance system performance could be due to the presence on the surface of the sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint.
☐ The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle (echo interference) due to mechanical interferences, for example when washing the vehicle, rain (strong wind), hail.
☐ Signals sent by the sensor may be altered by the presence in the vicinity of ultrasound system (e.g. the air brakes of trucks or air hammers).

☐ The performance of the parking assistance system could be affected by the position of the sensors, e.g. by altering attitude (due to wear of shock absorbers and suspension) or by changing tyres, overloading the car or setting special geometries that require the car to be lowered.

WARNING

Parking manoeuvres however are always er's responsibility. While vring, always make sure people (especially children) als are in the area ed. The parking sensors gned to assist drivers: ase, you must always utmost attention during ally dangerous manoeuvres, en carried out at low speed.

WARNING

When repainting the bumpers or touching up paint in the sensor area, contact Ford Authorised Services only. Incorrect paint application could affect the operation of the parking sensors.

AUTO-START-STOP SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

The Auto-Start-Stop device automatically stops the engine each time the vehicle is stationary and starts it again when the driver wants to resume driving.

This improves the efficiency of the vehicle by reducing fuel consumption, the emission of harmful gases and noise pollution.

The system operates every time the car is started.

Note if climate comfort is to be favoured, the Start&Stop system can be disabled, for a continuous operation of the climate control system.

OPERATING MODES

Engine stopping mode

With the vehicle stationary, the engine stops with the gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal released.

A

fig. 52
KA00168m

Note The Auto-Start-Stop function is automatically turned off if the speed of 10 km/h is not exceeded for about 2 seconds, to prevent the engine from being repeatedly stopped when driving at walking pace.

The engine being stopped is signalled by a symbol fig. 52 on the display.

Engine restarting mode

Depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine.

☐ windscreen wipers working at maximum speed for a long time;
☐ particulate filter regeneration in progress (diesel engines only);
□ driver's door not shut;
□ driver's seat belt not fastened;
□ reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking manoeuvres);
□ automatic climate control is on and a comfortable temperature has not yet been reached or MAX – DEF function enabled;

□ during the first period of use, to initialize the system.

In the above cases, a message appears in the display and, where provided, the warning light fig. 52 flashes.

RESTARTING CONDITIONS

For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful emissions and safety purposes, the power unit can restart automatically without any action on the part of the driver if certain conditions are met, including:

□ engine still cold;
☐ battery not sufficiently charged;
☐ windscreen wipers working at maximum speed for a long time;
☐ reduced braking system vacuum, e.g. following the brake pedal being pressed repeatedly;
□ catalytic converter temperature too low;
☐ car moving, for example in cases when driving on roads with a gradient;
□ stopping the engine through the Auto-Start-Stop system for more than about three minutes.
□ automatic climate control system for establishing a comfortable temperature or enabling the MAX - DEF function.

With a gear engaged, the engine can be automatically restarted only by fully depressing the clutch pedal. The driver is asked to perform this operation through a message in the digital display and, where provided, by the icon

fig. 52 in the digital display flashing

Note If the clutch is not pressed, when three minutes have elapsed since the engine was stopped, the engine can only be restarted using the key.

Note: In cases when the engine stops and this is not desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being released sharply with a gear engaged, if the Auto-Start-Stop system is activated, the engine can be restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or by placing the gear lever in neutral.

SAFETY FUNCTIONS

In engine cut-out conditions through the Auto-Start-Stop system, if the driver unfastens his seat belt and opens the driver's door or the passenger door, the engine can only be restarted using the key.

The driver is notified of this condition both by a buzzer and through an information message in the digital display and, where provided, by the icon fig. 52 in the digital display flashing.

"ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION

If, after the engine has been automatically restarted, the driver does not take any action for a period of about three minutes, the Auto-Start-Stop system will definitively stop the engine to avoid fuel consumption. The engine can only be started using the key in such cases.

Note In any case, it is possible to keep the engine running by deactivating the Auto-Start-Stop system.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER

If, after buying the car, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electric supply (alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electric supply, contact Ford Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides suggesting the most suitable devices belonging to Lineaccessori Ford, will also evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the car's electric system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICE INSTALLATION

Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle and available as after-sales must carry the following label:

Ford Motor Company authorises the installation of transceiving devices provided that they are installed according to rules of good engineering practice respecting the manufacturer's indications by a specialised centre.

IMPORTANT Installation of devices resulting in modifications of vehicle characteristics may cause driving license seizing by traffic control authorities and also the lapse of the warranty for defects due to the above mentioned modification or either directly or indirectly related to it.

Ford Motor Company shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by Ford Motor Company. and/or installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES

Radio transmission equipment (e.g.: ETACS mobile phones, CB radio systems and so on) should not be used inside the vehicle unless a separate aerial roof-mounted is fitted.

IMPORTANT The use of similar devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external aerial) may, in addition to potential damage to the health of the passengers, cause malfunctions in the vehicle electronic systems, compromising the safety of the vehicle.

In addition, transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body.

As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.

REFUELLING THE CAR

PETROL ENGINES

Use unleaded petrol only, with octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95.

IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution.

IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage the catalytic converter beyond repair.

DIESEL ENGINES

Operation at low temperatures

If the outside temperature is very low, diesel thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent defective operation of the fuel supply system.

In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel fuel are distributed according to the season: summer type, winter type and arctic type (cold/mountain areas).

When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in the mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using locally available diesel fuel.

In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.

For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for motor vehicles in accordance with EN590 European specifications.

The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused. If you accidentally introduce other types of fuel into the tank, do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has run, even for a very short time, you will need to have the entire fuel system emptied in addition to the tank.

REFUELLING CAPACITY

To fill the tank completely, top-up twice after the first click of the fuel delivery gun. Further top-ups could cause failures in the fuel feeding system.

Technical diagram of a mechanical device with labeled components A, B, and C

fig. 58

WARNING

Do not bring naked flames or lit cigarettes near to

the fuel tank opening: fire risk. Keep your face away from the fuel filler to prevent breathing in harmful vapours.

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 58

The cap B is provided with a loss prevention device C which secures it to the lid A.

Using the ignition key, undo the cap B turning it counterclockwise. The sealing may cause a slight pressure increase in the tank. A little breathing off, while slackening the cap is absolutely normal. When refuelling, fasten the cap to the device inside the flap as shown in the diagram.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The following devices are used for reducing petrol fuel engine emissions:

□ three-way catalytic converter;
□ oxygen sensors;
☐ evaporation control system.

In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one or more spark plugs disconnected.

The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:

□ oxidising catalytic converter;
□ exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR);
☐ diesel particulate filter (DPF).

WARNING

The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) (for 1.3L Duratorq versions)

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps particulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines.

The diesel particulate filter has been adopted to eliminate almost all particulates in compliance with current/future legal regulations.

During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much particulate has been trapped by the filter.

Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles.

The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically by the engine management control unit according to the filter conditions and car use conditions.

There may be a limited increase in the engine idle speed during the regeneration, a limited increase in fumes and high temperatures at the exhaust.

These are not failures; they do not impair vehicle performance or damage the environment. If the dedicated message is displayed, refer to paragraph "Warning lights and messages".

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1

The belt should be worn keeping the torso straight and rested against the backrest.

To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A and insert it into the buckle B, until hearing the locking click. On removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.

To unfasten seat belts, press button C. Guide the belt while it is rewinding to prevent it from twisting. Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.

WARNING

Never press button C when travelling.

A B C fig. 1 KA00044m

The reel may lock when the car is parked on a steep slope: this is normal. Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the event of sudden braking, collisions and high-speed bends.

The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with three anchor points and a reel.

WARNING

Remember that, in the event of a violent collision,

back-seat passengers not wearing seat belts represent a serious danger to the front-seat passengers as well as to themselves.

SBR SYSTEM

The car is provided with the SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system, which warns the driver and the front passenger if the seat belt is not buckled, as follows:

□ warning light 4 turns on steady and continuous activation of the beeper for the first 6 seconds;

□ warning light ◀ blinks and intermittent activation of the beeper for the next 90 seconds;

Contact a Ford Dealership to deactivate/reactivate the SBR system.

the SBR system can be reactivated through the display set-up menu if the vehicle is equipped with a multifunction display.

The display shows the dedicated message.

PRETENSIONERS

To increase the efficiency of seat belts, the car is fitted with pretensioners which, in the event of a violent frontal impact, rewind the belt a few centimetres ensuring that it adheres perfectly to the occupant before the restraining action begins. The seat belt locks to indicate that the device has intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up even when is guided it manually.

This car is equipped with a second pretensioner (in the kick plate area). Its activation is signalled by the shortening of the metal cable.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the pretensioning device, wear the seat belt keeping it tight to the chest and pelvis.

A slight discharge of smoke may be produced during the activation of the pretensioner which is not in harmful and does not involve any fire hazard. The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or lubrication. Anything that modifies its original conditions invalidates its efficiency.

If due to unusual natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.) the device has been affected by water and mud, it must necessarily be replaced.

WARNING

The pretensioner can only be used once. Go to a Ford

Dealership to have it replaced after it has been deployed.

Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a max

of 6 hours) in the area around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger them. These devices are not affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc. Contact a Ford Dealership for any assistance.

LOAD LIMITERS

To increase passenger safety, the front seat belt reels contain a load limiter which allows controlled sag in such a way as to dose the force acting on the chest and shoulders during the belt restraining action in the event of front collisions.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver must comply with (and have all car passengers follow) any local regulations in force concerning the use of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before starting.

Seat belts must also be worn by pregnant women: the risk of injury in the event of an accident is greatly reduced for them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt. Pregnant women must position the lower part of the belt very low down so that it passes over the pelvis and under the abdomen (as indicated in fig. 2).

Line drawing of two seated individuals wearing seatbelt covers, viewed from the side (no text or symbols)

WARNING

For maximum safety, keep the back of your seat

upright, lean back into it and make sure the seat belt fits closely across your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the seat belts on both the front and the rear seats. Travelling without wearing seat belts will increase the risk of serious injury and even death in the event of an accident.

Under no circumstances should the components of the seat belts and pretensioners be tampered with or removed. Any operations must be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel only. Always go to a Ford Dealership.

Line drawing of two individuals seated in car seats, one wearing a seatbelt and the other with a belt (no text or symbols)

IMPORTANT The belt must not be twisted. The upper part must pass over the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally. The lower part must fit the hips (as shown in fig. 3) rather than the abdomen of the passenger. Never use devices (clips, pegs, etc.) to hold the seat belt away from your body.

fig. 4 KA00047m

IMPORTANT Each belt shall be used by one person only: never travel with a child sitting on the passenger's lap with a single belt to protect them both (fig. 4). In general, do not place any objects between the person and belt.

WARNING

If the belt has been subjected to heavy stress,

for example after an accident, it should be changed completely together with the anchors, anchor fastening screws and pretensioner. In fact, even if the belt has no visible defects, it could have lost its resilience.

SEAT BELTS MAINTENANCE

For keeping the seat belts in efficient conditions, observe the following:

□ always use the belts with the strap well stretched and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without impediments;
□ after a serious accident, replace the belt even if it does not appear damaged. Always replace the belt if the pretensioners were deployed;
☐ to clean the belts, wash by hand with water and mild soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Never use strong detergents, bleach, paints or any other substance which could damage the belt fibres;
☐ prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside;
☐ replace the seat belt when showing significant wear or cut signs.

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY

For optimal protection in the event of a collision, all passengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems.

This is even more important for children.

This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to the Directive EEC-R44.

Compared with adults, a child's head is proportionally larger and heavier than the rest of the body, while muscles and bone structure are not fully developed.

Therefore, correct restraint systems are necessary which are different from adult seat belts.

The results of research on the best child restraint systems are contained in the European Standard ECE-R44, which enforces the use of restraint systems classified into five groups:

Group 0 - 0-10 kg in weight

Group 0+ -0-13 kg in weight

Group 1 9-18 kg in weight

Group 2 15-25 kg in weight

Group 3 22-36 kg

WARNING

SERIOUS DANGER: never place cradle child seats facing backwards on the front passenger's seat of cars fitted with passenger's air bag. Deployment of

the air bag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby. It is advisable always to carry children on the rear seat which is the most protected position in the event of an accident. Never fit child seats systems on the front seat if the car is provided with passenger's air bag: as the air bag could even cause fatal injury regardless of the severity of the collision which caused its deployment. If necessary, children can stay on the front seat, but only if the passenger's airbag can be disabled. In this case be sure to verify that the air bag is actually deactivated, observing the warning light on the dashboard (see "Front air bag – passenger side" in paragraph "Front air bags"). Move the passenger's seat as far back as possible to avoid contact between the child seat and the dashboard.

All child restraint devices must bear the certification data, together with the control mark, on a label solidly fixed to the seat which must never be removed.

Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint systems, children are considered as adults and wear the seat belts normally.

Lineaccessori Ford includes child seats for each weight group.

These devices are recommended having been specifically designed for Ford cars.

FITTING UNIVERSAL CHILD SEAT (WITH SAFETY BELTS)

GROUPS 0 and 0+

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on a cradle seat, which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the event of sharp decelerations.

The cradle is restrained by the car seat belts, as shown in fig. 5 and in turn it must restrain the child with its own belts.

GROUP I

From 9 to 18 kg of weight, children may be carried facing forward. Some types of seat are equipped with a front cushion that enables the car seat belt to restrain both child and seat fig. 6.

WARNING

The figures are only examples for fitting purposes. To install the child restraint, refer to the instructions supplied with the same. Some child restraint systems for weight group 0 and I have a rear attachment to the car seat belts and its own seat belts for securing the child. Due to their weight, they may be dangerous if incorrectly mounted (e.g. if fastened to the car seat belts with a cushion in between). Follow the assembly instructions carefully.

WARNING

The figures are only examples for fitting purposes. Refer to the instructions supplied with the child restraint.

GROUP 2

Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the car seat belts directly fig. 7.

The child seat is now needed only to position the child correctly with respect to the belts so that the diagonal section crosses the child's chest and never the neck, and the lower part is snug on the pelvis not the abdomen.

GROUP 3

For children from 22 kg to 36 kg the size of the child's chest no longer requires a support to space the child's back from the backrest.

Fig. 8 shows proper child seat positioning on the rear seat.

Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts like adults.

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON UNIVERSAL CHILD SEAT USE

Ford complies with the new European Directive 2003/20/EC which governs the arrangement possibilities for child restraints on the various seats of the car as shown in the following table:

Group Weight range front rear	Passenger Passenger
Group 0, 0+ up to 13 kg U U
Group 1 9-18 kg U U
Group 2 15-25 kg U U
Group 3 22-36 kg U U

Key:

U = suitable for child restraint systems of the “Universal” category, according to European Standard EEC-R44 for the specified “Groups”.

Below is a summary of the safety rules to be followed for carrying children.

☐ Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the event of an accident.
If the passenger's air bag is deactivated, always check the amber warning light ✗ on the instrument panel to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
☐ Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child restraint system which are mandatory by law. Keep the instructions in the car along with the other documents and this handbook. Do not use second-hand child seats without instructions.
□ Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling the webbing.

☐ Only one child is to be strapped to each retaining system.
□ Always check the seat belts do not fit around the child's throat.
☐ While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or release the belts.
☐ Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No one can hold a child in the case of an accident.
☐ In case of an accident, replace the child seat with a new one.

WARNING

In cars fitted with passenger's air bag never place child restraint systems on the front seat, since children must never travel on the front seat.

ASSEMBLY SETUP ISOFIX CHILD SEAT

Provision has been made on the car to mount a Universal Isofix child restraint system, a new European standardised system for carrying children safely.

Isofix systems can be fitted alongside a traditional restraint system.

An example of child seat is shown in fig. 9. The Universal Isofix child seat covers weight group I. Specific Isofix child seats cover the other weight groups. These seats must be designed, tested and type-approved specifically for this car (refer to the list of cars attached to the child seat).

Due to its different anchoring system, the child's seat shall be anchored to the proper lower metal rings A-fig. 10, set between rear seat back and cushion. After removing the rear shelf, secure the upper belt (provided with the child's seat) to ring B-fig. 11 set between the rear backrest and the boot floor. Do not use the ring B to secure other objects.

Remember that in case of Universal Isofix child seats, you can use all seats approved with the marking ECE R44/03 "Universal Isofix".

X: Isofix position not suitable for Isofix child seats in this group of weight and/or class.

AIR BAG

The vehicle is equipped with front air bags for driver and passenger and front side air bags (side bag – window bag) (where specified).

FRONT AIR BAGS

The front air bags (for driver and passenger) have been designed to protect the passengers sitting on the front seats in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the bag between the person and the steering wheel or dashboard.

Therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.

An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in the event of a frontal impact.

The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself between the front occupants body and the structures which could cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.

Driver and passenger front air bags are not a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which you are recommended to always wear, as specified by law in Europe and most non-European countries.

In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat belt will move forward and come into contact with the bag which is still inflating. The protection offered by the air bag cushion is reduced in such a case.

Front air bags may not be activated in the following situations:

☐ in collisions against highly deformable objects not affecting the car front surface (e.g. bumper collision against guard rail, etc.);
☐ car wedging under other vehicles or protective barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);

they may not provide any additional protection compared with seat belts, so their activation would not be worthwhile. In these cases, non-deployment of the air bag does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

WARNING

Do not apply stickers or other objects on

the steering wheel, on the dashboard in the passenger side air bag area, on side upholstery on roof and on the seats.

Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger's side dashboard since they could interfere with correct inflation of the air bag and also cause serious injury to the passengers.

The driver's and passenger's front air bags have been designed and calibrated to protect front seat occupants wearing seat belts.

The volume of the front air bags at max. inflation fills most of the space between the steering wheel and the driver and between the dashboard and the passenger.

The air bags are not deployed in the event of minor front collisions (for which the restraining action of the seat belts is sufficient).

Safety belts must always be used. In the event of frontal crash they ensure the correct positioning of the occupant.

FRONT AIR BAG ON DRIVER'S SIDE fig. 12

It consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a special recess in the centre of the steering wheel.

AIRBAG Fig. 13 KA00195m

FRONT AIR BAG ON PASSENGER'S SIDE fig. 13

This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a special recess in the dashboard: this bag has a larger volume than that of the driver's.

WARNING

SERIOUS DANGER: never place cradle child seats facing backwards on the front passenger's seat of cars fitted with passenger's air bag. Deployment of

the air bag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the child. Always deactivate the passenger air bag when placing a child seat on the front seat. Move the passenger's seat as far back as possible to avoid contact between the child seat and the dashboard. Although this is not mandatory by law, the air bag should be immediately reactivated when children are no longer carried to ensure better protection to adults.

MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG (where provided)

Whenever a child needs to be carried on the front seat, the passenger's front air bag and the Side Bag (where provided) must be deactivated. This function may be activated only by taking car to dealership.

The instrument panel warning light ⚡2 will stay on glowing steadily until reactivating the passenger's front air bag and the Side Bag (where provided).

WARNING To deactivate the passenger's front air bag and the Side Bag (where provided), refer to paragraphs "Digital display" and "Multifunction display" in section "Your car".

SIDE BAGS

(Side bag - Window bag) (where provided)

SIDE BAG fig. 14

It consists of an instant-inflating cushion housed in the front seat backrest. It protects the chest and the hips of the passengers in the event of side crash of medium-high severity.

AIRBAG fig. 14 KA00057m

AIRBAG fig. 15 KA00058m

WINDOW BAGS fig. 15

They consist of two "curtain" cushions housed behind the side upholstery of the roof and covered by specific finishing to protect the head of the front passengers in the event of side crash, thanks to their wide surface.

IMPORTANT The best protection in the event of side crash is achieved maintaining a correct position on the seat. This allows the correct deployment of the window bag.

IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or side bags may be deployed if the car is subject to heavy collisions or accidents involving the underbody area, such as for example violent shocks against steps, kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the car in big holes or sags in the road.

IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will be released when the air bags are deployed. The dust is harmless and does not indicate the beginning of a fire. Furthermore, the surface of the deployed bag and the interior of the car may be covered with dusty residue. This dust can irritate skin and eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in the event of exposure.

IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in which any of the safety devices are activated, take the vehicle to a Ford Dealership to have the activated devices replaced and to have the whole system checked.

Every control, repair and replacement operation concerning the air bags must be carried out only by a Dealership. If the car changes ownership, the new owner must be informed of the method of using air bags and the above warnings and also be given this “Owner Handbook”.

IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front air bags and side bags are deployed according to different logics on the basis of the type of collision. Non-deployment of one of the devices does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

WARNING

Do not rest your head,

arms or elbows on the door, on the windows and on the window bag area to avoid injuries during inflation.

Never lean your head, arms or elbows out of the window.

GENERAL WARNINGS

WARNING

If when turning the key to MAR-ON the warning light

A does not turn on or if it stays on when travelling, there could be a failure in safety systems; in this event air bags or pretensioners may not be deployed in case of impact or, in a minor number of cases, they could deploy accidentally. Contact a Ford Dealership immediately to have the system checked before driving off.

WARNING

Do not cover the front seat backrest with covers if ag is fitted.

WARNING

Do not travel with objects in your lap, in front of your

chest, or keeping between your lips pipes, pencils, etc.. In the event of collision with air bag activation, you may be seriously injured.

WARNING

Always drive keeping your hands on the steering wheel

crown so that, in the event of air bag activation, it can inflate without finding obstacles. Do not drive with your body bent forward. Keep the backrest in straight position, resting correctly your back on it.

WARNING

It someone tried to steal or damage your car, and in the event of floods, have the air bag system checked by the Ford Dealership.

WARNING

With ignition key inserted, at MAR-ON, even if the engine is off, the air bags can activate also with the car stopped, if it is hit by another vehicle. For this reason, children must never occupy the front seat, even if the car is not moving. We remind you that if the key is inserted and turned to STOP, no safety device (air bag or pretensioner) is activated following a collision; non-deployment in such cases is consequently not the sign of a failure.

WARNING

When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning light 2 , turns on, flashing for a few seconds, to remind you that the passenger air bag will activate in the event of a collision, then it turns off.

WARNING

The front air bags deploy in the event of more severe collisions than those required for deploying the pretensioners. When the impact is within the two deployment thresholds, it is normal that pretensioners only are engaged.

WARNING

Do not wash the seats with pressurised water jets or steam (manually or at the automatic washing stations).

WARNING

The air bag does not replace seat belts, but increases their efficiency. Furthermore, since front air bags are not deployed in low speed collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-overs, the passengers are only protected by the seat belts which must be fastened at all times.

SNOW TYRES 92

SNOW CHAINS 93

CAR INACTIVITY 93

STARTING THE ENGINE

The car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device: if the engine fails to start, see the paragraph "The Ford CODE system" in the section "Knowing your car".

The engine may be noisier during the first few seconds of operation, especially after a long period of inactivity. This is characteristic of hydraulic tappets, the timing system chosen for petrol engine versions to reduce the number of servicing interventions and does effects neither functionality nor reliability of your car.

In the first period of use, we recommend to avoid excessive stress for the car (for instance excessive

accelerations, extended travel at maximum speed, sudden braking etc.).

With engine off, do not leave the key in the ignition switch on MAR-ON to prevent draining

the battery.

WARNING

It is dangerous to have the engine running indoors.

The engine consumes oxygen and engine exhaust contains carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other toxic gasses.

WARNING

Remember that the brake servo and power steering

are not operational until the engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake pedal and steering wheel.

PROCEDURE FOR PETROL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

□ engage the handbrake;
☐ place the gearshifting lever in neutral;
☐ press the clutch pedal all the way down without touching the accelerator;
□ turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go as soon as the engine starts.

If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting.

If, when the ignition key is at MAR-ON, warning light remains lit together with warning light turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR-ON; if the warning light remains on, try with the other keys provided with the car.

Contact a Ford Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

☐ engage the handbrake;
☐ put the gearshifting lever into neutral;
□ turn the ignition key at MAR-ON: the warning light 00 on the instrument panel will turn on;
☐ wait for the warning light 70 to turn off. The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
☐ press the clutch pedal all the way down without touching the accelerator;
□ turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as the warning light 00 turns off. Waiting too long will waste the work done by the glow plugs.

Release the key as soon as the engine starts.

IMPORTANT With cold engine, the accelerator must be entirely released when turning the ignition key to position AVV.

If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting.

If, when the ignition key is at MAR-ON, the instrument panel warning light remains lit, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR-ON; if the warning light remain on, try with the other keys provided with the car.

Contact the Ford Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

Warning light 70 will flash for 60 seconds after starting or during prolonged cranking to indicate a fault

with the glow plug heating system. Use the car normally if the engine starts and contact the Ford Dealership as soon as possible.

HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED

Proceed as follows:

□ drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium speed. Do not accelerate abruptly;
☐ do not demand maximum performance for the first few kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge starts moving.

Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill.

This could cause a flow

of fuel into the catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling.

IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow the engine to "catch its breath" before turning it off by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment to fall.

A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine serves absolutely no practical

purpose; it wastes fuel and is especially damaging to turbocharged engines.

HANDBRAKE

The handbrake lever is located between the two front seats.

Pull the lever upwards to operate the handbrake.

WARNING

The car must be braked after a few snaps of the

lever, otherwise, contact the Ford Dealership for regulation.

When the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition key is at MAR-ON, the instrument panel warning light (!) will turn on.

Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:

☐ slightly lift the handbrake and press release button A - fig. 1;

□ keep button A pressed and lower the lever. The warning light ⏻ on the instrument panel will turn off.

Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation to prevent the car from moving accidentally.

A fig. 1 KA00059m

PARKING

Proceed as follows:

□ Stop the engine and engage the handbrake.

☐ Engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the vehicle is parked uphill or reverse if it is parked downhill) and leave the wheels steered.

Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a steep slope.

Do not leave the key in the ignition switch at MAR-ON to prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when leaving the car.

Never leave children in the unattended car. Always remove the ignition key when leaving the car and take it out with you.

USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX

To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal down fully and shift the gear lever into one of the required positions (a diagram is shown on the knob fig. 2).

For cars provided with 6 speed gearbox, to engage the sixth gear, operate the lever with a pressure toward the right to avoid involuntary engagement of fourth gear. Similar action to pass from sixth to fifth gear. IMPORTANT The car can only be put into reverse gear when it has stopped moving completely. With the engine running, wait for at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully pressed before engaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears and grating.

To engage reverse R from neutral, lift the sliding ring A under the knob and shift the lever to the right and back.

Diagram of a car gear shift lever with labeled component A (no text or symbols beyond label)

fig. 2

IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should be used only to change gear. Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, however lightly. For versions/markets where provided, the electronic clutch control could cut in by interpreting the incorrect driving style as a fault.

WARNING

Press the clutch pedal fully to change gears correctly. Therefore, the floor area under the pedals should be clear: ensure that any rubber mats are flat and do not interfere with the pedals.

Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever, because this pressure, even if light, can wear out the

inner components of the gearbox over time.

FUEL SAVING

Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimise harmful emissions of CO_2 and other pollutants (nitric oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc...).

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Car maintenance

Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the "Scheduled Servicing Plan".

Tyres

Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.

Unnecessary loads

Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of the car (especially when driving in town) and its ride greatly affects consumption and stability.

Accessories installed on longitudinal bars

Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski racks, luggage container, etc. from the roof if they are no longer used. These accessories lower air penetration and adversely affect consumption levels. When transporting particularly large objects, use a trailer if possible.

Electrical devices

Use electrical devices only for the amount of time needed. The heated rear window, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount of energy, therefore a higher requirement of current involves an increase of fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).

Climate control system

Climate control leads to higher fuel consumption (on average up to +20%). If the temperature outside permits, try and use the air vents.

Devices for aerodynamic control

The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic control may adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.

DRIVING STYLE

Starting

Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill or at idle or high speed: under these conditions the engine warms up much more slowly, increasing electrical consumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way the engine will warm up more quickly.

Unnecessary actions

Avoid accelerating when stopped at traffic lights or before switching off the engine. This and also double declutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars and also increases consumption and pollution.

Gear selection

As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase consumption.

In the same way improper use of a high gear increases consumption, emissions and engine wear.

085-094 Ford KA EN:081-090 Ford KA IT 14-10-2010 11:32 Pagina 91

Max. speed

Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed. Maintain a constant speed, avoiding unnecessary braking and acceleration, which cost in terms of both fuel and emissions.

Acceleration

Accelerating violently will greatly affect consumption and emissions: acceleration should be gradual.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Cold starting

Short journeys and frequent cold starts will prevent the engine from reaching optimal running temperature. This results in a significant increase in consumption levels (from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and emissions.

Traffic and road conditions

Rather high consumption levels are linked to situations with heavy traffic, for instance when travelling in queues with frequent use of the lower gears or in cities with many traffic lights. Winding mountain roads and rough road surfaces also adversely affect consumption.

Stops in traffic

During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level crossings) the engine should be switched off.

SNOW TYRES

Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres provided with the car.

The Ford Dealership will be happy to provide advice concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the customer's requirements.

For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the instructions given in paragraph “Wheels” in section “Technical specifications”.

The winter performance of these tyres is considerably reduced when the tread thickness is less than 4 mm. Replace them in this case.

Due to snow tyre features, under normal conditions of use or on long motorway journeys, the performance of these tyres is much lower than that of standard tyres. Limit performance according to the use for which they were certified.

IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a maximum speed index below the one that can be reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the passenger compartment, plainly in view, which states the maximum speed allowed by the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).

All four tyres should be the same (brand and profile) to ensure greater safety when driving and braking as well as making the car more responsive.

Remember that it is inappropriate to change the rotation direction of tyres.

WARNING

You must not exceed 160 km/h on snow tyres

with a "Q" mark; in any case, make sure you stick to the rules of the highway code.

SNOW CHAINS

wheel.

WARNING

Never install snow chains on the space-saver spare

The use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations.

The snow chains may be applied only onto the front wheel tyres (drive wheels).

Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few metres have been driven.

IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted on the space-saver wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car and the space-saving spare wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two standard wheels at the front, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an emergency.

Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h.

Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and also avoid driving long distances on roads not covered with snow in order to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.

CAR INACTIVITY

If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the following precautions should be followed:

☐ park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ventilated premises;
□ engage a gear;
☐ check that the handbrake is not engaged;
☐ disconnect battery negative terminal and check charge (see paragraph "Battery - Charge and electrolyte level check" in chapter "Maintenance and care")
☐ clean and protect the painted parts using protective wax;

☐ clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special compounds readily available;
□ sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
□ slightly open the windows;
☐ cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic as they do not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate;

☐ inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the standard specified pressure and check it periodically;
☐ do not drain the engine cooling system.

The warning light stays on constantly if there is a failure in the air bag system.

On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.

WARNING

If when turning the key to MAR-ON the warning light

does not turn on or if it stays on when travelling, there could be a failure in safety systems; in this event air bags or pretensioners may not be deployed in case of impact or, in a minor number of cases, they could deploy accidentally. Contact your Ford Dealership immediately to have the system checked before driving off.

WARNING

The failure of the warning light● (warning light off)

is indicated by intermittent blinking for longer than the normal four seconds of the warning light that signals front passenger air bag deactivated.

FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATED (amber)

The warning light ⚡️ comes on when the front passenger air bag is deactivated.

With the front passenger air bag on, when the ignition key is moved to

MAR-ON, the warning light _2 comes on steadily for a few seconds; then, it continues to flash for some seconds and finally goes off.

WARNING

This condition is indicated by intermittent blinking of warning light for longer than 4 seconds. In this case, the warning light may not indicate failures in the retaining system. Contact Ford Dealership immediately to have the system checked before driving off.

OVERHEATED ENGINE COOLANT (red) ℃

Turning the ignition key to MAR-ON the warning light turns on, but it should go off after a few seconds.

The warning light turns on when the engine is overheated.

If the warning light comes on when driving, proceed as follows:

☐in standard driving conditions:

stop the car, switch off the engine and check whether the water level in the reservoir is not below the MIN. mark. In this case, wait for a few minutes for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top-up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN. and MAX. marks on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. Should the warning light turn on again at the next start-up, contact a Ford Dealership.

□If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions

(e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on, stop the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slightly accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check the correct fluid level as described above.

IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes before switching it off.

On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.

LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)

Turning the ignition key to MAR-ON, the warning light turns on and should go out as soon as the engine is started (with the engine running at idle speed a short delay in going out is allowed).

If the warning light stays on, immediately contact a Ford Dealership.

ABS FAILURE (amber)

Turning the ignition key to MAR-ON the warning light turns on, but it should go ter a few seconds.

The warning light will light up when the system is either not working or not available. Under these circumstances the braking system will work as normal without the extra performance offered by the ABS system. Drive carefully and go to a Ford Dealership as soon as possible.

On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.

EBD FAILURE (red) (amber)

Warning lights (1) and (2) lit at the same time with the engine running, indicate an EBD system failure or that the system is not available. Early locking of the rear wheels may occur in the event of violent braking causing the car to swerve. Drive very carefully to a Ford Dealership to have the system inspected.

On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.

STARTING THE ENGINE

If warning light 📄 on the instrument panel stays lit with a fixed light, contact the Ford Dealership immediately.

JUMP STARTING

If the battery is flat, it is possible to start the engine using a booster battery with the same capacity or a little higher than the flat one.

Technical diagram of an automotive engine showing internal components and a labeled section with point A

fig. Ia - Duratec Versions

KA00202m

fig. Ib - Duratorq Versions

KA00201m

Never use a fast battery-charger to start the engine as this could damage the electronic

systems of your car, particularly the ignition and fuel supply control units.

WARNING

This procedure must be performed by qualified

personnel as incorrect actions may cause high-intensity electrical discharge. Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames away from the battery. No smoking. Do not cause sparks.

Proceed as follows to start the car with a booster battery:

□ connect the positive terminals (+ near the terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
□ connect a second cable to the negative terminal – of the booster battery to an earth point A on the car to be started (fig. 1a-1b);
□ start the engine;
☐ when the engine has been started, follow the sequence above in reverse order to remove the leads.

If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not insist any further but contact a Ford Dealership.

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative terminals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the explosive gas which could come out of the battery. If the booster battery is installed on another car, prevent any contact between metal parts of the cars and the flat battery.

BUMP STARTING

Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or driving downhill.

This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.

IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and electrical power steering system (where provided) are not operational until the engine is started, a greater effort will therefore be required to press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.

CHANGING A WHEEL

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The vehicle can be supplied (if requested/provided for) with a normal spare wheel or with a space-saver wheel.

For some versions/models, the vehicle is also equipped in the factory with 4 antitheft bolts (one per wheel).

To tighten/retighten the bolts, use the appropriate adaptor A-fig. 2 provided, inserting it between the bolt and wrench provided, as shown in fig. 2.

Note A duplicate of the bolts and special adaptor may be ordered from the Ford Dealership by providing the numerical reference code attached to the kit.

Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and space-saver wheel call for some precautions as listed below.

A fig 2 KA00120m

fig. 2

WARNING

The space-saver wheel (where provided) is specific

to your car, do not use it on other models, nor use the spare wheel of other models on your car.

The space-saver wheel must only be used in an emergency. It shall only be used as strictly necessary and the car speed shall not exceed 80 km/h.

The space-saver wheel has an orange sticker that summarises the main cautions for use and limitations.

The sticker should never be removed or covered.

Never apply a hub cap on a space-saver wheel.

The sticker gives the following information in four languages:

Caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max.! Replace by standard wheel as soon as possible.

Never cover these instructions.

WARNING

Use your hazard lights, warning triangle, etc to

show that your car is stationary. Passengers should get out of the car, particularly if it is heavily loaded, and wait for the wheel to be changed away from the traffic. If parked on a slope or rough surface, chock the wheels with wedges or other suitable devices.

The driving features of the car may change when a space-saver wheel is fitted. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking, sudden steering and fast cornering. The total life of a space-saver wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it must be replaced by another wheel of the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre on a rim designed for use as a space-saver wheel. Have the punctured wheel repaired and replaced as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver wheels should never be used together. Do not apply grease to the bolt threads before assembly: they might spontaneously unscrew.

WARNING

The jack may be used to replace wheels only on the

car that it comes with or other cars of the same model. Never use the jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car models. In no case should it be used for repairs under the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher than those shown on the label. Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two standard drive wheels at the front, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an emergency.

The jack supplied with the vehicle must be used only to change a wheel in an emergency.

WARNING

Fit the wheel cap correctly to prevent it from coming notion.

Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never introduce tools of any kind between the rim and the tyre.

Check tyre and spare wheel pressures regularly, referring to the values shown in the "Technical specifications" section.

JACK

Please note that:

□ the jack weights 1.76 kg;
☐ the jack requires no adjustment;
☐ the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be replaced with a new jack;
☐ no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on the jack.

105-132 Ford KA EN 14-10-2010 11:37 Pagina 110

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with labeled section A and angle θ, no readable text or symbols beyond labels

To change a wheel proceed as follows:

stop the car in a position so that it is not a danger for on-coming traffic and where you can replace the wheel safely. The ground must be flat and sufficiently compact;
☐ switch the engine off and pull up the handbrake.
☐ engage the first gear or reverse;
☐ lift the luggage compartment mat A-fig. 3;

☐ position the jack near the wheel to be replaced at a distance of approximately 250 mm (9.8 inches) from the edge of the front wheel arch if a front wheel is to be replaced, or at a distance of 170 mm (6.7 inches) from the edge of the rear wheel arch if a rear wheel is to be replaced (as shown in the figure);
☐ make sure that the groove F-fig. 6 of the jack is well in contact with the tab G of the side member;

□ warn bystanders that the car is about to be lifted. They must stay clear and not touch the car until it is back on the ground;
☐ fit the handle H into the jack device I and lift the car until the wheel to be changed is some centimetres off the ground.
When turning the jack handle make sure that it can turn freely without scraping your hand against the ground. The moving components of the jack (screws and joints) can also cause injuries: avoid touching them.

If you become soiled with the lubricating grease, wash it off thoroughly;
☐ make sure the contact surfaces on the space-saver wheel are clean so that the retaining bolts will not come loose;

IMPORTANT If it is not fitted properly, the hub cap may detach when the vehicle is running.

After tyre replacement

□ stow the space-saver wheel D-fig. 3 in the space provided in the boot;
☐ fit the partially-open jack in its box C by forcing it slightly to prevent it from vibrating when travelling;
☐ put the tools back into their locations;
□ arrange the container and tools in the spare wheel and secure the clamping device B;
□ correctly reposition the boot mat.

IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with tubeless tyres. Check the inflation pressure of the tyres and the space-saver wheel regularly.

IMPORTANT If you choose to install wheels of a different type (with alloy rims instead of the steel ones or vice versa) you must change all the fixing bolts with others of a suitable size and use a specific space-saver wheel, with different specifications.

You should keep the bolts and space-saver wheel in case you decide to use the standard type of wheel later on.

REAR TYRE DAMAGE

(if the alternative space-saver wheel is available, as described in the paragraph "Wheels", chapter "Technical Data")

WARNING

CHANGING A BULB

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;
☐ burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the same type and power;
□ always check the headlight beam aiming after changing a bulb;
☐ when a light is not working, check that the corresponding fuse is intact before changing the bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to the "Changing a fuse" paragraph in this section.

WARNING

Modifications or repairs to the electric system that are not carried out properly or do not take the system technical specifications into account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure, if they break glass fragments may be thrown around.

When handling halogen bulbs just touch the metal part. If the transparent bulb is touched with the fingers,

its lighting intensity is reduced and life of the bulb may be compromised. If touched accidentally, rub the bulb with a cloth moistened with methylated spirit and allow to dry.

If possible, we recommend that you let Ford Dealership replace the bulbs. The correct operation and

aiming of the outer lights are absolutely essential for the safety of the car and of compliance with law.

IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be slightly misted: this should not be considered irregular rather a natural phenomenon due to low temperature and the air humidity level. Misting will disappear as soon as the headlights are turned on. The presence of drops inside the headlights indicates infiltration of water. Go to a Ford Dealership.

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS

Left-hand drive versions

A. Engine oil filler
B. Engine oil level dipstick
C. Engine coolant
D. Windscreen washer fluid
E. Brake fluid + Clutch fluid (right-hand drive, petrol version only)
F. Battery

WARNING

Never smoke while working in the engine compartment:

gas and inflammable vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.

Be careful!, when topping up take care not to confuse the various types of fluids: they are all incompatible

with one another and could seriously damage the car.

ENGINE OIL fig.1-2

Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after the engine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground.

Check the level is within the MIN. and MAX. marks on the dipstick B.

The range between the MIN. and MAX. marks corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.

If the oil level is near or even under the MIN line, add oil through the filler A to reach the MAX mark.

The oil level must never exceed the MAX mark.

Engine oil consumption

The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.

When the car is new, the engine needs to run in, therefore the engine oil consumption can only be considered stabilised after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km.

IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving style and the car usage conditions.

IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the engine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after turning it off before you check the level.

WARNING

When the engine is hot, take care when working inside the engine compartment to avoid burns. Remember that when the engine is hot, the fan may operate: danger of injury. Pay attention to scarves, ties and other loose fitting garments: they may get caught by moving components.

Do not add any oil with different specifications to those of the existing engine oil.

The used engine oil and the replaced oil filter contain substances that may be dangerous for the environment. It is advisable to have oil and filters changed by a Ford Dealership where they will be disposed of according to the law.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. I-2

The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold and must range between the MIN. and MAX. marks on the reservoir.

If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50% distilled water and 50% ARTECO Havoline XLC cooling fluid through the filler C until the level reaches MAX.

A 50-50 mixture of ARTECO Havoline XLC cooling fluid and distilled water gives freeze protection to -35^ .

For particularly harsh climate conditions, a mixture of 60% ARTECO Havoline XLC cooling fluid and 40% demineralised water is recommended.

WARNING

While topping up, be careful fluid does on engine hot parts.

The engine cooling system uses protective antifreeze fluid. Use the same fluid as in the cooling system when

topping up.

ARTECO Havoline XLC cooling fluid may not be mixed with other types of fluids. If this accidentally occurs, do not start the engine and contact a Ford Dealership.

WARNING

The engine cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, only replace the cap with another genuine one or the operation of the system may be adversely affected. Do not remove the reservoir cap when the engine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.

WARNING

When the engine is hot, take care when working inside the engine compartment: you risk scalding yourself.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHER FLUID fig. 1-2

To add fluid, remove the cap D, pressing the special tab.

Check fluid level through the reservoir. Close the cap D pressing its central section.

WARNING

Do not travel if the windscreen washer

reservoir is empty: using the windscreen washer is essential for improving visibility.

Some commercial windscreen washer additives are flammable. The engine compartment contains hot parts which could cause a fire if they come into contact with these additives.

BRAKE FLUID fig. I-2

Undo the cap E: and check that the liquid contained in the reservoir is at the maximum level.

Fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX mark.

Use the brake fluid shown in the "Fluids and lubricants" table (see section "Technical Specifications") to top up.

Note Carefully clean the cap of reservoir E and the surrounding surface.

Take great care to ensure that impurities do not enter the reservoir when the cap is opened.

For topping-up, always use a funnel with integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.

IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car is mainly used in areas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at more frequent intervals than specified in the “Service schedule”.

Prevent brake fluid which is highly corrosive from coming into contact with painted parts. Should this immediately wash with water.

WARNING Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive.

In the event of accidental contact, immediately wash the affected parts with water and neutral soap. Then rinse thoroughly. In case of swallowing immediately call a doctor.

WARNING

The symbol Ⓐ, on the container, indicates a synthetic brake fluid, which is different from a mineral fluid. Use of a mineral type fluid will damage the special rubber seals of the braking system beyond repair.

AIR CLEANER/ POLLEN FILTER

Have the air cleaner or the pollen filter replaced by a Ford Dealership.

DIESEL FILTER

CONDENSATION DISCHARGE (Duratorq versions)

The presence of water in the supply circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If the warning light goes on, contact a Ford Dealership as soon as possible to have the system bled. If the above indications come on immediately after refuelling, water has probably been poured into the tank: turn the engine off immediately and contact a Ford Dealership.

BATTERY

The car is fitted with a low-maintenance battery: no top-ups with distilled water are needed in standard conditions of use.

INSPECTING THE CHARGE AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL

The operations must be carried out as described in this Owner Handbook only by skilled personnel. Any top-up operations must be carried out by specialised personnel and by a Ford Dealership.

WARNING

Battery liquid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep naked flames or possible sources of sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.

WARNING

Using the battery when the fluid is too low can damage it irreparably and generate a risk of explosion.

CHANGING THE BATTERY

If required, replace the battery with an original spare part with the same specifications.

If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the service intervals given in the "Scheduled Servicing Plan" will no longer be valid.

For battery maintenance, you should therefore refer to the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.

Incorrect installation of electric and electronic devices may cause severe damage to your car. Go to a

Ford Dealership if you want to install accessories (anti-theft system, mobile phone, etc.): they will suggest the most suitable devices and advise you if a higher capacity battery needs to be installed.

Batteries contain substances that can be very dangerous for the environment. It is advisable to have the

battery changed by a Ford Dealership where it will be disposed of according to the law.

WARNING

If the vehicle must remain unused for a long time

at very low temperature, remove the battery and carry it to a warm place, to avoid freezing.

WARNING

When you must perform any operation on the

battery or near it, always protect your eyes with special goggles.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY

To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer, observe the following instructions:

□ when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed properly, to prevent any light switching-on inside the passenger's compartment;
☐ the internal roof lights must be off. The car is however provided with an automatic system for switching-off internal lights;
☐ do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard warning lights, etc...) switched on for a long time when the engine is not running;
☐ before performing any operation on the electrical system, disconnect the negative battery cable;
☐ battery terminals shall always be perfectly tightened.

IMPORTANT If the charge level remains for a long time under 50%, the battery is damaged by sulphation, reducing its capacity and starting attitude.

The battery is also more prone to the risk of freezing (at temperatures as high as -10^ ). Refer to the paragraph “Car inactivity” in “Starting and driving” if the car is left parked for a long time.

If after buying the car, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric supply (anti-theft system, etc.) contact your Ford Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the car's electric system is capable of withstanding the load required, or whether it should be integrated with a more powerful battery.

Since these devices continue absorbing energy even when the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the battery.

WHEELS AND TYRES

Check the pressure of each tyre, including the space-saver wheel, approximately every two weeks and before long journeys: the pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and cold.

It is normal for pressure to increase when the car is used. For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see "Wheels" in "Technical specifications" section.

Wrong pressure causes abnormal wear of tyres, fig. 5:

A standard pressure: tread evenly worn.

B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.

C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.

The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the laws in force in the country where you are driving.

A B C fig. 5 KAD0081m

WARNINGS

□ Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts and violent knocks against curbs, potholes or other obstacles if possible. Driving for long stretches
If possible. Driving for long streak over bumpy roads can damage the tyres;
☐ check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling or irregular tread wear. In this case, go to a Ford Dealership if required;
☐ avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
☐ if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle immediately and change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, the suspensions and the steering system;
☐ a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing.

Have the tyres checked by skilled personnel if they have been fitted for longer than six years.

Also remember to check the space-saver wheel very carefully;

☐ In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoiding those with an unknown origin;
☐ if a tyre is replaced, also change the inflation valve;
☐ to allow even wear between the front and rear tyres, it is advisable to change them over every 10–15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the car so as not to reverse the direction of rotation.

WARNING

Remember that the road holding qualities of your depend on the correct pressure of the tyres.

WARNING

If the pressure is too low, the tyre will overheat and be seriously damaged.

WARNING

Avoid switching the tyres from the right side of the o the left side and vice versa.

WARNING

Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments

requiring the use of temperatures exceeding 150^ C. The mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired.

RUBBER HOSES

As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are concerned, follow the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” in this chapter carefully.

Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful checking is therefore necessary.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WIPERS

BLADES

Clean the rubber part regularly using special products.

Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn. In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximately once a year.

A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades:

☐ make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the windscreen at sub-zero temperatures. Use a de-icing product to release it if required;
☐ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor and overheating;
☐ do not operate the windscreen and the rear screen wipers on dry glass.

WARNING

Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad weather.

If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is fluid in the reservoir: see "Checking fluid levels" in this chapter).

Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged, if necessary clean them using a needle.

The windscreen jets are directed by adjusting the nozzle angle.

The jets must be directed at about 13 of the height from the window upper edge.

WARNING In versions with a sun roof, make sure that the sun roof is closed before operating the front jets.

Rear window washer fig. 9

The rear window washer jets are fixed.

The nozzle holder is on the rear window.

BODYWORK

PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS

The main causes of corrosion are the following:

□ atmospheric pollution;
☐ salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid climates);
□ seasonal environmental conditions.

The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is also not to be underestimated.

On your car, Ford implemented the best manufacturing technologies to effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.

These include:

☐ painting products and systems which give the car particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
☐ use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with high resistance to corrosion;

□ spraying the underbody, engine compartment, internal wheel arches and other parts with highly protective wax products;
□ spraying of protective plastic material in the more exposed points: underdoor, inner mudguard parts, edges, etc...;
☐ use of “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation and pockets of moisture which could cause rust inside.

BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY

Your car is covered by warranty against perforation due to rust of any original element of the structure or body.

For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the Warranty Booklet.

ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK

Paint

Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but also protects the underlying sheet metal.

Touch-up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent the formation of rust. Only use genuine spare paint products for touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint identification plate” in the “Technical Specifications” chapter).

Standard maintenance of paintwork consists in washing the vehicle; its frequency depends on the conditions and environment where the vehicle is used. For example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads are sprayed with salt, it is advisable to wash the car more frequently.

To correctly wash the vehicle, proceed as follows:

☐ remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage to it if the car is washed in an automatic system;
☐ if high pressure jets or cleaners are used to wash the vehicle, hold at least 40 cm away from the bodywork to avoid damage or alteration. It should be remembered that the build up of water can damage the car over a period of time;
☐ wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
☐ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge;
☐ rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a chamois leather.

Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where water may stagnate more easily. The car should not be taken to a closed area immediately, but left in the open so that residual water can evaporate.

Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paintwork.

Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the car.

Where possible, do not park under trees; the resinous substance that many species release give the paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility of triggering rusting processes.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive.

Detergents cause water pollution. The vehicle should be washed in areas equipped for collecting and purifying

the liquid used in the washing process.

Glasses

To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner products.

Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or damaging the transparency.

IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.

Engine compartment

At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the engine compartment, taking care to avoid spraying the water jet directly onto the electronic control units and the relay/fuse box on the left side of the engine compartment (driving direction). Have this operation performed at a specialised workshop.

IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. After the washing operation, make sure that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed or damaged.

Front headlights

IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front headlight plastic lens.

INTERIORS

Periodically check that water is not trapped under the mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.

WARNING

Never use flammable products, such as petrol

ether or rectified petrol to clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic charges which are generated by rubbing during cleaning may cause a fire.

WARNING

Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: these could explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, inner temperature can greatly exceed this value.

SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS

Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.

Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of water and neutral detergent.

PLASTIC PARTS

It is advisable to clean interior parts with a moist cloth and a solution of water and mild neutral soap. To remove grease and tough stains, use products designed specifically for cleaning plastics. These have no solvents and have been designed so that they do not alter the appearance and colour of the components.

IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to clean the instrument panel.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests set down by relevant European Directives.

The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:

☐ urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the vehicle;

□ extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerations in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the vehicle: speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
☐ combined consumption: the weighting is around 37% urban cycle and 63% extra-urban cycle.

IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.

Fuel consumption according to the current directive (litres/100 km)
