ABOUT THIS MANUAL

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

WARNING

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 1

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

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

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

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

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

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

REPLACEMENT PARTS RECOMMENDATION

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

Scheduled Maintenance and Mechanical Repairs

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

Collision Repairs

We hope that you never experience a collision, but accidents do happen. Genuine Ford replacement collision parts meet our stringent requirements for fit, finish, structural integrity, corrosion protection and dent resistance. During vehicle

development we validate these parts deliver the intended level of protection as a whole system. A great way to know for sure you are getting this level of protection is to use genuine Ford replacement collision parts.

Warranty on Replacement Parts

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

Stopping the engine when the vehicle is moving

WARNING

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 1

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

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

Diesel particulate filter (DPF)

WARNING

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 1

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

The passive entry system will not function if:

•The passive key frequencies are jammed.
• The passive key battery is flat.

Note: If the passive entry system does not function, you will need to use the key blade to lock and unlock your vehicle.

The keyless system allows the driver to operate the vehicle without the use of a key or remote control.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 2

natural_image Top-down view of a blue car with white roof and red side panel, viewed from above (no text or symbols visible)

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL

WARNINGS

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNINGS - 1

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

override may be necessary if the system fails to switch the main beam on or off.

WARNINGS

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNINGS - 1

A manual override may be required when approaching other road users such as cyclists.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNINGS - 2

Do not use the system in fog.

CAUTIONS

In cold and severe weather conditions the system may not function. A manual override may be necessary in these cases.

Reflective road signs may be detected as oncoming traffic and the headlamps may be switched to low beam.

If the lights of oncoming vehicles are hidden by obstacles (for example guard rails) the system may not deactivate the high beam.

Always fit Ford Original Parts when replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may reduce system performance.

Check and replace wiper blades regularly to ensure the camera sensor has a clear view through the windscreen. Replacement wiper blades must be the correct length.

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

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

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

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

  • It is dark enough to require the use of high beams and
  • there is no traffic or street lighting ahead and
  • vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph).

The high beam will switch off if:

•The ambient light is high enough that high beam is not required.
- An approaching vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps are detected.
- Street lighting is detected.
- Vehicle speed falls below 25 km/h (16 mph).
• The camera sensor is too hot or becomes blocked.

Activating the system

Switch on the system using the information display and autolamps. See Information Displays (page 75). See Autolamps (page 46).

FORD Mondeo (2012) - Activating the system - 1

natural_image Close-up of a purple circular industrial control knob with icons for lighting, heat, and sun (no text or symbols)

E70719

Turn the switch to the autolamps position.

Note: The system may take a short time to initialize after first switching the ignition on, especially in very dark conditions. The high beam will not automatically switch on during this period.

Setting the system sensitivity

The system has three sensitivity levels which can be accessed via the information display. See Information Displays (page 75).

The sensitivity determines the speed at which the high beam will be restored after detected traffic leaves the field of view.

Manually overriding the system

Overriding the anti-trap function

CAUTION

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 1

While you close the window for the third time, the anti-trap function is disabled. Make sure there are no acles in the way of the closing window.

To override this protection function when there is a resistance, for example, in the winter, proceed as follows:

  1. Close the window twice until it reaches the resistance and let it reverse.
  2. Close the window a third time to the resistance. The anti-trap function is disabled and you cannot close the window automatically. The window will override the resistance and you can close it fully.
  3. If the window does not close after the third attempt, have it checked by a properly trained technician.

Resetting the memory of the power windows

E124736

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

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

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

System detection and alerts

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

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

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

CAUTIONS

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 1

Do not place items such as bumper stickers in this area.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 2

Repairs to these areas using body filler will affect the performance of the system.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 3

Detection limitations

There may be certain instances where vehicles entering and exiting the blind spot zones may not be detected.

Instances which may cause non-detection:

  • Debris build up on the rear bumper panels in the area of the sensors.
    •Certain manoeuvring of vehicles entering and exiting the blind zone.

  • Vehicles passing through the blind zone at high speed.

  • Severe weather conditions.
    •Several vehicles passing through the blind zone following each other closely.

False alerts

Note: False alerts are temporary and will self correct.

There may be certain instances when the system will alert with no vehicle present in the blind zone.

Circumstances where false alerts may occur:

  • Road guardrails.
    • Highway concrete walls.
  • Construction areas.
  • Sharp turns around a building.
    •Bushes and trees.
    •Cyclists and motorcyclists.
  • Coming to a stop with a vehicle directly behind but very close.

Turning the system on and off

Note: The on or off position will remain until manually changed.

You can turn the system on and off using the information display. See Information Displays (page 75).

When you turn the system off no further alerts will be received. The BLIS warning indicator will illuminate. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 71).

Detection errors

Note: The alert indicator in the mirror will not illuminate.

If the system senses a fault on either sensor, the system warning symbol will illuminate and remain on. The information display will confirm the fault and indicate whether the left or right side is affected.

Blocked sensor

WARNING

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 1

Prior to the system recognizing a blocked condition and issuing a warning, the number of missed ts will increase.

CAUTION

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 1

The sensors may not detect vehicles in heavy rain or other conditions that cause disruptive reflections.

Note: Keep the rear bumper area surrounding the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow.

If a sensor becomes blocked the system performance may degrade. A blocked sensor message may be displayed.

The system will automatically return to normal operation once two other vehicles have been detected on both sides.

Trailer towing false alerts

CAUTION

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 1

Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow module not approved by us may not correctly be detected. Switch the em off to avoid false alerts. See Information Displays (page 75).

Keep the air intakes forward of the windshield free from obstruction (snow, leaves etc.) to allow the climate control system to function effectively.

Recirculated air

CAUTION

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

The air currently in the passenger compartment will be recirculated. Outside air will not enter the vehicle.

Heating

Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant.

Air conditioning

Note: The air conditioning operates only when the temperature is above 4^ C ( 39^ F).

Note: If you use the air conditioning, the fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher.

Air is directed through the evaporator where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted from the air to help keep the windows free of mist. The resulting condensation is directed to the outside of the vehicle and it is therefore normal if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle.

General information on controlling the interior climate

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the interior

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

Cooling the interior

Direct the air towards your face.

AUXILIARY HEATER

Parking heater

WARNING

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 1

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

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

Used properly, the parking heater provides the following benefits:

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

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

Note: The heating depends on the outside air temperature.

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

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

To prevent the battery from discharging:

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

Program the parking heater

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

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

Note: You must set the time and date correctly. See Clock (page 219).

To program the heating times:

Engine idle speed after starting

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

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

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

STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE - E85

For general information on starting a gasoline engine. See Starting a Gasoline Engine (page 121).

Starting at low ambient temperatures

When the temperature is lower than -10^ ( 14^ ) and the vehicle is filled with E85, an engine block heater should be used to facilitate starting. See Engine Block Heater (page 123). Failure to do this will result in a non start.

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

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

If the engine fails to start, proceed as follows:

  1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal.

  2. Turn the ignition key to position III.

CAUTION

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 1

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

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

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

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

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

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE

Cold or hot engine

All vehicles

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

Note: Continue cranking the engine until it starts.

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

FORD Mondeo (2012) - All vehicles - 1

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

  1. Fully depress the clutch pedal.
  2. Start the engine.

Vehicles with automatic transmission

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

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER

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

Regeneration

WARNING

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 1

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

CAUTION

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 1

Avoid running out of fuel.

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

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

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

If you drive only short distances or your journeys contain frequent stopping and starting, where there is increased acceleration and deceleration, occasional trips with the following conditions will assist the regeneration process:

  • Drive your vehicle at a constant speed, preferably on a main road or highway, for up to 20 minutes.
  • Avoid prolonged idling and always observe speed limits and road conditions.
  • Do not switch off the ignition.
  • Use a lower gear than normal to maintain a higher engine speed during this journey, where appropriate.

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Vehicles with a turbocharger

CAUTION

Do not switch the engine off when it is running at high speed. If you do, the turbocharger will continue running after the engine oil pressure has dropped to zero. This will lead to premature turbocharger bearing wear.

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until the engine has reached idle speed and then switch it off.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

CAUTION

Make sure you disconnect the power cable from the engine heater connector before driving away.

Note: The engine heater connector is located in the radiator grille at the front of your vehicle.

Note: Depending on applicable laws and regulations in the country for which your vehicle was originally built, the brake lamps may flash if you brake heavily.

Note: Occasional brake noise is normal and often does not indicate a concern. In normal operation, the system may emit occasional or intermittent squeal or groan noises when the brakes are applied. Such noises are usually caused by environmental conditions such as cold, heat, moisture, road dust, salt or mud.

Disc brakes

Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when driving from a car wash to remove the film of water.

ABS

WARNING

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 1

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

The ABS helps you to maintain full steering and directional stability when you brake heavily in an emergency, by preventing the road wheels from locking.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

Note: When the system is operating, the brake pedal will pulse and may travel further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise from the system. This is normal.

The ABS will not eliminate the risks when:

- you drive too close to the vehicle in front of you

• the vehicle is aquaplaning

·you take corners too fast

- the road surface is poor.

Without ESPA

With ESPB

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

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

Stability control (ESP) warning lamp

While driving, it flashes during activation of the system. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 71).

Emergency brake assist

WARNING

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 1

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

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

USING STABILITY CONTROL

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

CAUTIONS

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 1

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

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 2

The sensors may not detect objects in heavy rain or other conditions that cause disruptive reflections.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 3

The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 4

The parking aid does not detect obstacles moving away from the vehicle. They will only be detected

shortly after they start to move towards the vehicle again.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 5

Take particular care when reversing with a tow ball arm or rear fitted accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as rear parking aid will only indicate the stance from the bumper to the obstacle.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 6

If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the sensors briefly from a distance not than 20 centimeters (8 inches).

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

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

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

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

PARKING AID

Switching the parking aid on and off

Note: The parking aid switches off automatically when you start the engine or when you exceed 16 km/h (10 mph).

Note: The front and rear sensors are always activated or deactivated together.

The parking aid is per default off. To switch the parking aid on, press the switch in the instrument panel or select reverse gear.

The light in the switch illuminates when the parking aid is activated.

E72902

Note: If a high pitch warning tone sounds for three seconds and the light in the switch is flashing, it indicates a malfunction. The system will be disabled. Have the system checked by properly trained technicians.

You will hear an intermittent tone at a distance of up to approximately 150 centimeters (59 inches) between the obstacle and rear bumper, 80 centimeters (31 inches) between the obstacle and front bumper and 50 centimeters (20 inches) to the side. Decreasing the distance accelerates the intermittent tone. A continuous tone will start at a distance of less than 30 centimeters (12 inches).

You will hear an alternating tone from the front and rear if obstacles are closer than 30 centimeters (12 inches) to the front and rear bumpers.

Cruise control allows you to control your speed using the switches on the steering wheel. You can use cruise control when you exceed 30 km/h (20 mph).

You should repair paintwork damage caused by stones from the road or minor scratches as soon as possible. A choice of products is available from your Ford Dealer. Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

GENERAL INFORMATION

CAUTIONS

Use only approved wheel and tire sizes. Using other sizes could damage the vehicle and will make the National Type Approval invalid.

If you change the diameter of the tires from that fitted at the factory, the speedometer may not display the correct speed. Take the vehicle to your dealer to have the engine management system reprogrammed.

If you intend to change the size of the wheels from that fitted at the factory, check the suitability with your dealer.

Note: Check your tire pressures regularly to optimize fuel economy.

A decal with tire pressure data is located in the driver's door opening at the B-pillar. Check and set the tire pressure at the ambient temperature in which you are intending to drive the vehicle and when the tires are cold.

TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT

Your vehicle may not have a spare tire. Therefore you will have an emergency kit which will only repair one flat tire.

The kit is located in the spare wheel well.

General information

WARNINGS

Depending on the type and extent of tire damage, some tires can only be partially sealed or not sealed at all. Loss of tire pressure can affect vehicle handling, leading to loss of vehicle control.

Do not use the kit on a previously damaged tire, for example when it has been driven under inflated.

WARNINGS

Do not use the kit on run flat tires.

Do not try to seal damage to the tire's sidewall.

The kit seals most tire punctures [with a diameter of up to six millimeters (1/4 inch)] to temporarily restore mobility.

Observe the following rules when using the kit:

  • Drive with caution and avoid making sudden steering or driving maneuvers, especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded or you are towing a trailer.
    •The kit will provide you with an emergency temporary repair, enabling you to continue your journey to the next vehicle or tire dealer, or to drive a maximum distance of 200 kilometers (125 miles).
  • Do not exceed a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
  • Keep the kit out of the reach of children.
  • Only use the kit when the ambient temperature is between -40^ (-40^) and +70^ (+158^) .

Using the kit

WARNINGS

Compressed air can act as an explosive or propellant.
Never leave the kit unattended while in use.

CAUTION

Do not keep the compressor operating for more than 10 minutes.

Note: Use the kit only for the vehicle with which it was supplied.

  • Park your vehicle at the roadside so that you do not obstruct the flow of traffic and so that you are able to use the kit without being in danger.
  • Apply the parking brake, even if you have parked on a level road, to make sure that the vehicle will not move.
  • Do not attempt to remove foreign objects like nails or screws penetrating the tire.
  • Leave the engine running while the kit is in use, but not if your vehicle is in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area (for example, inside a building). In these circumstances, switch the compressor on with the engine turned off.
  • You must replace the sealant bottle with a new one before the expiry date (see top of bottle).
  • Inform all other users of your vehicle that the tire has been temporarily sealed with the kit. Make them aware of the special driving conditions to be observed.

Inflating the tire

WARNINGS

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNINGS - 1

Check the sidewall of the tire prior to inflation. If there are any cracks, bumps or similar damage, do not

attempt to inflate the tire.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNINGS - 2

Do not stand directly beside the tire while the compressor is pumping.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNINGS - 3

Watch the sidewall of the tire. If any cracks, bumps or similar damage appear, turn off the compressor and

let the air out by means of the pressure relief valve B. Do not continue driving with this tire.

WARNINGS

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNINGS - 1

The sealant contains natural rubber latex. Avoid contact with skin and clothing. If this happens, rinse the affected areas immediately with plenty of water. Consult a physician if you experience an adverse reaction.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNINGS - 2

If the tire inflation pressure does not reach 1.8 bar (26 psi) within 10 minutes, the tire may have suffered excessive damage, making a temporary repair impossible. In this case, do not continue driving with this tire.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNINGS - 3

Screwing the bottle onto the bottle holder will pierce the seal of the bottle. Do not unscrew the bottle from the holder as the sealant will escape.

Note: When pumping in the sealant through the tire valve, the pressure may rise up to 6 bar (87 psi) but will drop again after about 30 seconds.

Note: After you have switched the compressor off, you may hear air escaping from the damaged tire. This is normal and can be ignored provided that the specified minimum tire pressure has been reached.

  1. Remove the power plug G from the cigar lighter socket or auxiliary power socket.
  2. Quickly unscrew the hose C from the tire valve and replace the protective cap A. Fasten the valve cap again.

Note: Some residual sealant fluid may drip or spray out of hose C while you are disconnecting it. This is normal.

  1. Leave the sealant bottle K in the bottle holder E.
  2. Make sure the kit, the bottle lid and the orange cap are stored safely, but still easily accessible in the vehicle. The kit will be required again when you check the tire pressure.
  3. Immediately drive approximately three kilometers (two miles) so that the sealant can seal the damaged area.

WARNING

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 1

If you experience heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior or noises while driving, reduce your speed and drive with caution to a place where it is safe for you to stop the vehicle. Recheck the tire and its pressure. If the tire pressure is less than 1.3 bar (19 psi) or if there are any cracks, bumps or similar damage visible, do not continue driving with this tire.

Checking the tire pressure

  1. Stop the vehicle after driving approximately three kilometers (two miles). Check, and where necessary, adjust the pressure of the damaged tire.
  2. Attach the kit and read the tire pressure from the pressure gauge F.

  3. If the pressure of the sealant-filled tire is 1.3 bar (19 psi) or more, adjust it to the specified pressure. See Technical Specifications (page 199).

  4. Follow the inflation procedure once again to top up the tire.
  5. Check the tire pressure again from the pressure gauge F. If the tire pressure is too high, deflate the tire to the specified pressure using the pressure relief valve B.
  6. Once you have inflated the tire to its correct tire pressure, move the compressor switch H to position 0, remove the power plug G from the socket, unscrew the hose C, fasten the valve cap and replace the protective cap A.
  7. Leave the sealant bottle K in the bottle holder E and store the kit away safely in its original location.
  8. Drive to the nearest tire specialist to get the damaged tire replaced. Before the tire is removed from the rim, inform your tire dealer that the tire contains sealant. You must renew the sealant bottle K and hose C as soon as possible once used.

Note: Remember that this kit only provides temporary mobility. Regulations concerning tire repair after usage of tire repair kit may differ from country to country. You should consult a tire specialist for advice.

WARNING

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 1

Before driving, make sure the tire is adjusted to the recommended inflation pressure. See Technical

Specifications (page 199). Monitor the tire pressure until the sealed tire is replaced.

Empty sealant bottles can be disposed of together with normal household waste. Return remains of sealant to your dealer or dispose of it in compliance with local waste disposal regulations.

TIRE CARE
FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 2
E70415

To make sure the front and rear tires of your vehicle wear evenly and last longer, we recommend that you swap the tires from front to rear and vice versa at regular intervals of between 5000 and 10000 kilometers (3000 and 6000 miles).

CAUTION

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 1

Do not scrub the sidewalls of the tires when you are parking.

If you have to mount a curb, do so slowly and approach it with the wheels at right-angles to the curb.

Examine the tires regularly for cuts, foreign objects and uneven wear of the tread. Uneven wear could mean that the wheel alignment is outside specification.

Check the tire pressures (including the spare) when cold, every two weeks.

USING WINTER TIRES

E74302

The driver and front passenger airbags will deploy during significant frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbags will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the driver and front passenger airbags will not deploy.

Driver knee airbag

CAUTION

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 1

Do not attempt to open the driver knee airbag cover.

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

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

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

The engine immobilizer is a theft protection system that prevents someone from starting the engine with an incorrectly coded key.

CODED KEYS

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

Note: Have all of your remaining keys erased and recoded if you lose a key. Ask your dealer for further information. Have replacement keys recoded together with your existing keys.

If you lose a key, you can obtain a replacement from your Ford Dealer. If possible, provide them with the key number from the tag provided with the original keys. You can also obtain additional keys from your Ford Dealer.

ARMING THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZER

The engine immobilizer is armed automatically a short time after you have switched the ignition off.

DISARMING THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZER

The engine immobilizer is disarmed automatically when you switch the ignition on with a correctly coded key.

If the message Immobiliser active appears in the information display, your key has not been recognized. Remove the key and try again.

If you are unable to start the engine with a correctly coded key, this indicates a malfunction. The message Immobiliser active will appear in the information display when you switch on the ignition. Have the immobilizer checked immediately.

Your vehicle may be equipped with one of the following alarm systems:

  • Perimeter alarm.
  • Perimeter alarm with interior sensors.
  • Category one alarm with interior sensors and battery back-up sounder.

E131656

WARNING

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

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

Battery back-up sounder

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

Tilt sensors

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

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

Triggering the alarm

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

  • If someone opens a door, the tailgate or the hood without a valid key or remote control.
  • If someone removes the audio or navigation system.
  • If the ignition is turned to position I, II or III without a valid key.
  • If the interior sensors detect movement within the vehicle.

  • On vehicles with a battery back-up sounder, if someone disconnects the vehicle battery or the battery back-up sounder itself.

  • If the tilt sensors detect a change in the inclination of the vehicle.

If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn will sound for 30 seconds and the hazard warning flasher will flash for five minutes.

Any further attempts to perform one of the above will trigger the alarm again.

Full and reduced guard

Full guard

Full guard is the standard setting.

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

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

Note: False alarms can also be triggered by the auxiliary heater. See Auxiliary Heater (page 104). If you are using the auxiliary heater, direct the air flow towards the footwell.

Reduced guard

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

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

Ask on Exit

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

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

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

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

Selecting full or reduced guard

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

The active suspension provides improved handling, comfort and stability by continuously adjusting the damper properties to the current road and driving conditions. This system in conjunction with the ABS system offers the benefit of potentially shorter stopping distances on rough road surfaces.

Depending on your preferences and driving style, you can choose between three different settings:

Comfort

This provides a softer driving feel.

Normal

Normal setting.

Sport

This provides a harder, sportier ride.

USING ACTIVE SUSPENSION

Selecting a setting

Note: After you select a setting, you may not immediately notice a difference in the vehicle's handling. The effect of the continuously controlled damping depends on the road surface and driving conditions.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - Vehicles with parking aid - 1

When driving you are responsible for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when adaptive cruise control is used. You must always pay attention to the traffic conditions and intervene when adaptive cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed or suitable distance.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - Vehicles with parking aid - 2

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

FORD Mondeo (2012) - Vehicles with parking aid - 3

The system does not brake for slow or stationary vehicles, pedestrians, objects in the road, oncoming and crossing vehicles.

CAUTIONS

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 1

Only use adaptive cruise control when conditions are favorable, for example on freeways and main roads with dy free flowing traffic.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 2

Do not use in poor visibility, specifically fog, heavy rain, spray or snow.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 3

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 4

Do not use the system when entering or leaving a freeway.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 5

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

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

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

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

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

The radar sensor is mounted behind the front grille.

E71621

Detection issues can occur:

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

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

Automatic braking with ACC

WARNINGS

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

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

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

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

USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

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

Setting the vehicle gap

CAUTION

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 1

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

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

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

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

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 2

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

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

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

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

E82312

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 3

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

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

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

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

Temporarily deactivating the system

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

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

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

Switching the system off

Vehicles without speed limiter

Press switch C to turn the system off.

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

Vehicles with speed limiter

Press switch A to turn the system off.

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

Automatic deactivation

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

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

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

In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message is displayed in the information display. See Information Messages (page 88). You must then intervene and adapt your driving and speed to vehicles in front.

An automatic deactivation can be due to the:

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

FORWARD ALERT FUNCTION

WARNINGS

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

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

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

CAUTIONS

Warnings may be triggered late, be absent or triggered unnecessarily due to detection beam issues. See Principle of Operation (page 234).

The system uses the same radar sensors as adaptive cruise control and therefore has the same limitations. See Principle of Operation (page 234).

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

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

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

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

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

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

The system alerts you by warning chimes and a visual warning in the information display. See Information Messages (page 88).

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

Switching the system on and off

Note: When the system is switched off, a warning indicator will remain illuminated in the information display. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 71).

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

The system can be switched on and off using the information display. See General Information (page 75).

Adjusting the warning sensitivity

You may adjust the system warning sensitivity using the buttons on the steering wheel. See General Information (page 75). This controls how early the visual and audible warning is activated.

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

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

USING THE SPEED LIMITER

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

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

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

Many stations that broadcast on the FM waveband have a TP code to signify that they carry traffic program information.

Activating traffic announcements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

All except Sony and Sony DAB

REGIONAL MODE (REG)

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

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

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

All except Sony and Sony DAB

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

When a CD containing audio is inserted into the CD player the disc's directory structure is read in. It may take a while before playback starts and is dependant on the quality of the disc.

MP3 tracks may be recorded on the CD in several ways. They can all be placed in the root directory like a conventional audio CD, or they can be placed in folders that may represent, for example, an album, an artist, or a genre.

Press the FOLDER UP button to select the next music folder on the MP3 disc.

Press the FOLDER DOWN button to select the previous music folder on the MP3 disc.

Sony and Sony DAB

Use the up and down navigation buttons to select the next or previous music folder on the MP3 disc.

Playing a multi session disc

The normal playing sequence on CD's with multiple folders is to play the tracks in the first folder, then the tracks in any folders nested inside the first folder, then move onto the second folder, and so on. For example, if folder 1 has folders 1a and 1b within it, and folder 2 contains folder 2a, the playing sequence will be folder 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 2a.

When the playback of a file is finished the playback of the other files in the same directory continues. Directory change takes place automatically when all files in the current directory have been played back.

MP3 DISPLAY OPTIONS

When an MP3 disc is playing, certain information encoded in each track can be displayed. Such information will normally include:

  • The file name
  • The folder name
  • ID3 information which might be the album or artist's name.

  • The disc name
    • The artist name
  • The track name.

Note: These display options are selected in the same way as MP3 displays. NO DISC NAME or NO TRACK NAME will be shown in the display if no information has been encoded.

ENDING COMPACT DISC PLAYBACK

Press the RADIO button.

Note: This will not eject the CD; the disc will merely pause at the point where radio reception was restored.

To resume CD playback, press the CD/AUX button again.

Note: For optimum performance when using any auxiliary device set the volume on the device high. This will reduce audio interference when charging the device via the vehicle power supply socket.

When fitted the Auxiliary input (AUX IN) socket permits an auxiliary device, such as an MP3 player, to be linked into the vehicle audio system. Output can be played through the vehicle speakers.

To connect an auxiliary device, plug it into the AUX IN socket using a 3.5 mm conventional audio jack connector.

Select the auxiliary input via the CD/AUX button and playback will be heard through the vehicle speakers. AUX will be shown in the display. Volume, treble and bass can be adjusted on the audio unit as normal.

GENERAL INFORMATION

CAUTION

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 1

Using the system with the engine off will drain the battery.

This section describes the functions and features of the Bluetooth cell phone hands free system.

The Bluetooth cell phone part of the system provides interaction with the audio or navigation system and your cell phone. It allows you to use the audio or navigation system to make and receive calls without having to hold your cell phone.

Compatibility of phones

CAUTION

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTION - 1

As no common agreement exists, cell phone manufacturers are able to implement a variety of profiles in their

Bluetooth devices. Because of this, an incompatibility can occur between the phone and hands-free system, which in some cases may significantly degrade the system performance. To avoid this situation, only recommended phones should be used.

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

GENERAL INFORMATION

CAUTIONS

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 1

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

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

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 2

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

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 3

Only use USB Mass-Storage device compliant devices.

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 4

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

FORD Mondeo (2012) - CAUTIONS - 5

Do not install or connect USB hubs or splitters.

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

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

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

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

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

A list of typical compatible devices are shown below:

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

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

Information on audio file structures for external devices

USB

Create only a single partition on the USB device.

We recommend that you put MP3 files in a folder.

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

Playlists must be created in .m3u format.

Audio files must be in .mp3 format.

Do not exceed the following limits:

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

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

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

Thereafter, custom folders and playlists will be selectable with voice control. See Audio unit commands (page 282).

iPod

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

Thereafter, playlists will be selectable with voice control. See Audio unit commands (page 282).

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL DEVICE

WARNING

FORD Mondeo (2012) - WARNING - 1

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

External devices may be connected using the auxiliary input socket and the USB port. See Audio Input Jack (page 223). See USB Port (page 223).

Connection

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

Connecting an iPod

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

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

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

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL DEVICE - VEHICLES WITH: BLUETOOTH

Connecting a Bluetooth audio device

CAUTION

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

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

Bonding the device

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

To connect the device to the system follow the same procedure as for Bluetooth hands free phones. See Bluetooth setup (page 275).

Operating the device

Select Bluetooth audio as the active source.

Tracks can be accessed by skipping forwards and backwards using the steering wheel controls, or directly from the audio unit controls.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated text (underscores) where none should exist. Hence, the result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
