PREFACE
Congratulations on acquiring your
new Ford. Please take the time to
get well acquainted with your
vehicle by reading your owner
literature. The more you know and
understand about your vehicle the
greater the safety, economy, and
pleasure you will derive from
driving it.
The Owner’s Guide describes
every option and model variant
available in every European
country and therefore some of
the items covered may not apply
to your particular vehicle.
Furthermore, due to printing
cycles it may describe options
before they are generally
available.
Regular servicing of your vehicle
helps maintain both its road-
worthiness and its resale value. A
network of more than 7,000 Ford
Dealers throughout Europe can
help you with their professional
servicing expertise.
Their specially trained personnel
are best qualified to service your
vehicle properly and expertly. Also,
they are supported by a wide range
of highly specialised tools and
equipment specially developed for
servicing Ford vehicles.
Remember to pass on the
Owner’s Guide when
reselling the vehicle. It is an
integral part of the vehicle.

FOR YOUR SAFETY AND
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Warning symbols in
this guide
How can you reduce the risk of
personal injury and prevent
possible damage to others, your
vehicle and its equipment? In this
guide, answers to such questions
are contained in comments
highlighted by the warning triangle
symbol.
Note:
Important information is also given
in paragraphs starting with the
highlighted word Note.
Warning symbols on
your vehicle
When you see this
symbol, it is imperative
that you consult the
relevant section of this
guide before touching or
attempting adjustment of any kind.
RUNNING IN
Avoid driving too briskly during the
first 1,000 miles (1,500 km). Vary
the speed frequently and avoid
labouring the engine. This is
necessary to give the moving parts
a chance to bed in.
New tyres require a running-in
distance of approximately
300 miles (500 km). During this
period, the car may exhibit
different driving characteristics.
Therefore, avoid driving too briskly
during the first 300 miles (500 km).
If possible, you should avoid heavy
use of the brakes for the first
100 miles (150 km) in town and for
the first 1,000 miles (1,500 km) on
motorways.
From 1,000 miles (1,500 km)
onwards you can gradually increase
the performance of your vehicle up
to the permitted maximum speeds.
We wish you safe and pleasurable
driving with your Ford vehicle.

HEATING, VENTILATION AND
AIR CONDITIONING
Outside air
Always keep the air intakes forward
of the front screen free of snow,
leaves etc., to allow the system to
function effectively.
Recirculated air
When recirculated air is selected,
only the air currently in the
passenger compartment will be
circulated. Outside air will not
enter the vehicle.
Note: It is not recommended to
use recirculated air for more than
30 minutes as there is no air
exchange and the windows may
mist up.
Fresh air filter/active carbon
filter
The fresh air filter removes most
potentially harmful particles such
as pollen, industrial fallout and road
dust from entering the vehicle’s
interior. The active carbon filter
removes odeurs.
In an automatic car wash, you
should switch off the ventilation
blower to prevent the filter
collecting wax deposits.
Blower
The blower motor may emit noises.
Ventilation vents

Heating
The heating depends upon the
coolant temperature and is
therefore only effective when the
engine is warm.
Air conditioning
The air is directed through the
coolant heat exchanger where it is
cooled if the air conditioning is
switched on. In addition, 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. It is therefore quite normal
if you notice a small pool of water
underneath the parked vehicle.
Note: The air conditioning system
only operates when the
temperature is above +4 ºC, the
engine is running and the blower is
switched on. Operating the air
conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption.

ENGINE IMMOBILISATION
SYSTEM
The engine immobilisation system
is a theft protection feature which
prevents the engine from being
started with an incorrectly coded
key.
Keys
Your vehicle is supplied with coded
keys marked with a coloured dot.
Replacement keys must be recoded
together with your other keys.
Automatic arming
The system is armed five seconds
after switching off the ignition. The
indicator light will flash every
two seconds.
Automatic disarming
Switching on the ignition disarms
the system if the correct code is
recognised. The indicator light
illuminates for approximately
three seconds and then
extinguishes.
If the indicator light illuminates
constantly for one minute or flashes
for approximately one minute and
then repeatedly at irregular
intervals, the system did not
recognise the key code. Remove
the key and try again.
If a key with an incorrect code was
used, a waiting period of about
20 seconds is required before
starting the vehicle with a correctly
coded key.
Controls and features

button on the buckle and let the
belt rewind completely and
smoothly.
Make sure that each seat belt uses
the correct buckle.
In order to ensure that the
centre belt works properly,
the rear seatback must be
correctly engaged.
Do not recline the front seats
excessively as the belts provide
maximum protection when the
seats are in the near upright
position.
Seating and safety restraints
83
Adjusting the height of the front
seat belts
To adjust, press the locking control
on the height adjuster and move
the pivot so that the belt rests
across the centre of the shoulder.
Pregnant Women
Pregnant women must wear
a correctly positioned seat
belt; it is safer for mother and
unborn child.
Seating and safety restraints
84
The lap strap should be fitted
comfortably across the hips, low
beneath the pregnant abdomen.
The diagonal part of the seat belt
should be placed between the
breasts, and worn above and to the
side of the pregnant abdomen.
Always wear seat belts without
slack or twists. For optimum
protection, the seat belts should fit
tightly around the body. Do not
recline the front seats excessively,
as the belts provide maximum
protection when the seats are in
the near upright position.
Never wear just the lap
strap of a lap/shoulder
diagonal seat belt and never sit
on the lap strap using just the
shoulder strap. Both of these
actions are extremely dangerous
and may increase your risk of
serious injury.
Seat belt pretensioner
The belt pretensioners
must not be removed. If the
pretensioners deployed during an
accident, they must be replaced.
Have the pretensioners serviced
and disposed of by specially
trained personnel.
The restraint system, with belt
pretensioner in the front seat, helps
to reduce the risk of serious injury
in a head-on collision. During a
crash the seat belts are
pretensioned to help reduce slack
in the belt.
The belt pretensioner is only
triggered in major frontal collisions
provided the deployment threshold
is reached and the seat belt is
correctly engaged in the buckle.
Refer to the section Air bag for
further details.
Seating and safety restraints
85
Care of seat belts
Periodically check the belts for
damage or fraying.
Do not attempt to repair or
lubricate retractor or
buckle mechanisms or to modify
the belts in any way.
Belts subjected to strain – as a
result of an accident – should be
renewed and the anchorages
checked by an expert.
Repositioning or uprating radio
speakers may adversely affect seat
belt operation. For further
guidance consult your dealer.
For information about cleaning the
seat belts, please refer to section

AIR BAG
The system
The air bag system comprises the
following:
dual−stage inflatable air bags with
gas generators.
side air bags.
seat belt pretensioners.
a variety of crash sensors.
a warning light in the instrument
panel.
an electronic control and
diagnostic unit.
Note: A loud bang will be heard
when an air bag deploys and it is
normal to see a cloud of harmless
powdery residue.
Front air bags
The seat and back must be set
correctly for the air bag to be
optimally effective. Refer to section
Sitting in the correct position at
the beginning of this chapter.
This is the ideal seating position for
driver and passenger and helps
reduce the risk of injury from
sitting too close to an inflating air
bag.
Seating and safety restraints
87
Always wear the seat belt
and keep sufficient distance
between the driver and the steer-
ing wheel. Only when the seat
belt is used properly, can it hold
the body in a position which al-
lows the airbag to achieve its
optimum effect.
There is a risk of injury when the
airbag deploys.
Do not modify the front of
the vehicle in any way as
this can adversely affect air bag
deployment.
The front air bags activate during
major collisions which are either
frontal or up to 30 degrees from
the left or the right. The air bags
inflate within a few thousandths of
a second. They will deflate on
contact with the front occupants
thus cushioning forward body
movement.
The front air bags are not
activated in minor collisions,
overturns, rear or side
collisions.
Seating and safety restraints
88
Always keep the areas in
front of the air bags free.
Never affix anything to or over
these areas.
These areas should only be wiped
with a damp cloth, never with a wet
cloth.
Repairs to the steering
wheel, steering column and
air bag system should be carried
out by properly trained
technicians.
Side air bags
A label on the seatback indicates
that side air bags are fitted.
The side air bags are fitted on the
side of the seatbacks of the front
seats. In case of a severe lateral
collision, the air bag on the side
affected by the collision will be
inflated, even if the respective seat
is not occupied.
Seating and safety restraints
89
The air bag will inflate between the
door panel and occupant. Once the
occupant’s body contacts the air
bag, the propellant escapes thereby
cushioning the impact.
The side bags are not activated
in minor lateral collisions,
front or rear collisions.
The crash sensors for the side air
bags are located under the
outboard side of the seats, fixed to
the floor. If water has entered the
floor area, do not start the vehicle.
Keep the sensors free from water,
heavy or sharp objects.
Repairs to either of the
front seat covers, the
sensors attached to the seats as
well as to the roof lining should
only be carried out by properly
trained technicians. Injuries may
result if the side air bags are
triggered inadvertently.
Do not block, obstruct or cover
the air bag because it may
prevent proper deployment.
Do not poke any sharp objects
into the areas where air bags are
fitted. This could damage the air
bags.
Do not use any accessory seat
covers that are not specifically
designed for seats with side air
bags. These seat covers must be
fitted by properly trained
technicians.

Air bag/seat belt pretensioner
warning light
When the ignition switch is turned
to position II, the warning light in
the instrument cluster illuminates
for approximately three seconds to
indicate that the system is

GENERAL POINTS ON
STARTING
Do not operate the starter for
longer than 15 seconds at a time or
30 seconds for vehicles with diesel
engines. Release the ignition key as
soon as the engine has started.
If the engine has not started, return
the ignition key/ignition switch to
position 0 and repeat the starting
procedure.
If the engine does not start,
refer to the instructions
regarding the fuel injection
system shut-off switch on
page 115.
Vehicles with a petrol engine
If the battery has been
disconnected the vehicle may
exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately
5 miles (8 km) after battery
reconnection.
This is because the engine
management system must realign
itself with the engine. Any unusual
driving characteristics during this
period may be disregarded.
Engine speed limiter
The engine speed is limited
electronically to protect the engine.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Vehicles with a petrol engine
Cold/hot engine
Depress the clutch pedal fully
and start the engine without
touching the accelerator.
If the engine does not start within
15 seconds, wait for a short period
and repeat the procedure.
If the engine does not start after
three attempts wait 10 seconds
and follow the Flooded engine
procedure.
If starting difficulty is
experienced at temperatures below
−25 ºC, depress the accelerator
pedal 1/4 to 1/2 of its travel to
assist starting.
Flooded engine
Depress the clutch pedal fully.
Slowly depress the accelerator
fully, hold it in this position and
start the engine.
If the engine does not start
repeat the Cold/hot engine
procedure.
Starting
96
Vehicles with automatic
transmission
Brake pedal
The engine can be started only with
the selector lever in the N or P
position.
Your vehicle is fitted with an
additional selector lever locking
device which operates when the
selector lever is in the park
position.
After starting the engine, the lever
can be moved out of this position
only when the foot brake is
depressed and the locking
button pressed down.
Apply the handbrake or
depress the footbrake
before selecting a gear. Failure to
do so could result in the vehicle
pulling away when you have
engaged a gear.
A cold engine runs at a higher
idling speed after starting. This
causes a strong ‘creep’ tendency in
reverse and all forward gears.
Vehicles with a diesel engine
Cold/hot engine
Depress the clutch pedal without
touching the accelerator.
Turn the key to position II and
ensure the glow plug indicator light
illuminates.
Glow plug indicator light off
Wait until the light extinguishes
before starting and continue
cranking without pausing until the
engine starts.
If the engine stalls, repeat the full
starting procedure.
At temperatures below −15ºC it
may be necessary to operate the
starter for up to 30 seconds. If
these weather conditions persist,
an engine block heater is
recommended.

Switching off the engine
F
irst let the speed drop to idle ...
... and never depress the accelerato
r
Wait until the engine has reached
idle speed, then switch off.
If the engine is switched off at high
speed, the turbocharger will
continue running after the engine
oil pressure has dropped to zero.
This will lead to premature
turbocharger bearing wear.
Driving
98
DRIVING WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Moving off
With the engine idling and the
brake pedal depressed, move the
selector lever to one of the driving
positions. Release the brakes. The
vehicle will start to move slowly in
the selected direction. Depress the
accelerator pedal to increase speed.
It is not possible to tow
start or push start a vehicle
fitted with automatic
transmission. Use jump leads
attached to a booster battery.
Moving off in sand, mud and
snow
If the driving wheels are stuck, try
to rock the vehicle free by driving
forwards and backwards. To do
this, move the selector lever
alternately to D and R and depress
the accelerator as little as possible.
To increase the effect, move the
selector lever to R while the vehicle
is still moving forward and vice
versa.
To avoid excessive wear on the
transmission when shifting between
forward and reverse (rocking) keep
the engine speed as low as possible.
As an exception, position 2 may be
used for initial drive-off on icy or
snowy road surfaces.
Driving
99
Downshift (Kickdown)
The automatic transmission can be
made to provide increased torque
for steep gradients or for
overtaking. To achieve this
kickdown effect, depress the
accelerator pedal fully and hold it
down in the selector lever position
D.
The transmission will change into
the next higher gear when the
maximum engine speed has been
reached.
Manual gear changes
Moving off
Select position 1, release the
handbrake and depress the
accelerator pedal. Move the
selector lever to position 2 and D as
the road speed increases.
Changing down
If the selector lever is moved from
position D to position 2 while
driving, the automatic transmission
will change down to second gear
once the speed drops below
70 mph (110 km/h) and remain in
this gear. If the selector lever is
moved to position 1, the automatic
transmission remains in second
gear until the speed drops to
28 mph (45 km/h). It will then
change down to first gear and stay
in this gear. Change down on
downhill gradients, long uphill
gradients and twisty roads.
Driving

To avoid fuel spillage that
could be hazardous to other
road users, always stop refuelling
after the fuel nozzle stops the
second time. Additional fuel will
fill the expansion space in the
fuel tank which could lead to fuel
overflowing.
The fuel system is under
pressure. There is a risk of
injury if the fuel system is
leaking. Do not use any kind of
flames or heat near the fuel
system.
Incorrect fuel
If you fill your vehicle with
incorrect fuel or additives,
do not attempt to start the
engine. This may lead to engine
damage.
Driving with a catalytic
converter
Avoid running out of fuel.
Avoid unnecessarily long engine
cranking periods.
Do not run the engine with a
disconnected spark plug.
Do not push-start or tow-start the
vehicle with the engine at operating
temperature; use jump leads.
Never switch off the ignition
while driving.
Parking
It is important to avoid
parking, idling or operating
the vehicle on dry leaves or dry
grass. Even when the engine is
switched off, the exhaust will
continue to radiate a considerable
amount of heat for a short period
creating a potential fire hazard.

TRAILER TOWING
If your vehicle has a
detachable towball arm,
always remove it when driving
without a trailer.
The maximum vehicle and trailer
payloads represent technically
binding values for gradients up to
12 % and at an altitude of
1,000 metres above sea level.
In high altitude regions, thinner
atmosphere can reduce engine
performance so the following
restrictions will apply:
Above 1,000 metres the stipulated
maximum permitted gross train
weight must be reduced by 10 %
for every 1,000 metres in altitude.
Steep gradients
Change down in plenty of time
before downhill gradients.
Remember the limited effect of the
trailer brakes. Only use the foot
brake in short intervals to avoid
overheating the brakes. If you have
automatic transmission, move the
selector lever to position 1 when
going up or down steep hills.
The overrun brake on a
trailer is not controlled by
the anti-lock braking system.
Detachable towball arm
Never leave the detached
towball arm unsecured
inside the vehicle. This would
increase the risk of injury in an
accident.
To mount the towball arm, remove
the cover (3- and 5-door models
only) located in the apron beneath
the rear bumper. Remove both
screws and the cover carefully.
Driving
102
The screws for the cover should be
lubricated before and after the
winter season.
When not in use the towball arm
should always be carried securely
fastened in the luggage
compartment.
The towball arm may be inserted
only when the mechanism is
unlocked correctly.
Special care should be
taken when fitting the
towball arm, as the safety of the
vehicle and the trailer depends on
this.
Unlocking the towball arm
mechanism
Remove the protecting cap.
Insert the key and turn
anticlockwise to unlock.
Pull the handwheel out and turn
it clockwise until it clicks.
The red mark on the handwheel
must align with the white mark on
the towball.
Release the handwheel. The
towball arm is unlocked.
Do not use any tools for
mounting/dismounting the
towball arm. Do not modify the
trailer coupling. Do not
disassemble/repair the towball
arm.
Driving
103
Inserting the towball arm
The towball arm may only
be inserted when
completely unlocked.
Pull out the plug.
Insert the towball arm vertically
and press it upwards until it
engages. (Do not hold your hand
near the handwheel.)
The towball arm locks
automatically. The green area must
align with the white mark.
To lock: Turn the key in a
clockwise direction and remove the
key.
Cover the lock with the
protective cap.
Driving with a trailer
Before starting your journey,
ensure the towball arm is properly
locked. Check:
The alignment of the green area
with the white mark.
The handwheel is correctly fitted
to the towball arm.
The key has been removed.
Secure positioning of the towball
arm. (Must remain perfectly in
place when jerked.)
If any of the above
conditions cannot be met,
do not use the tow bar and have it
inspected by a dealer.
Driving
104
Removing the towball arm
Unhitch the trailer.
Remove the protecting cap.
Insert the key and unlock in an
anticlockwise direction.
Hold the towball arm. Pull the
handwheel out, turn it clockwise
until it clicks and remove the
towball arm.
Release the handwheel.
When unlocked in this way, the
towball arm can be reinserted at
any time.
Insert the plug into its seat.
Reinstall the cover (3- and 5-door
models only) and the two screws in
the apron beneath the rear bumper.
If the system is not used for a
prolonged period, set the assembly
to its locked position: Press the
release lever forwards.
To avoid risk of injury,
never unlock the towball
arm with the trailer attached.
Maintenance
Keep the system clean. Periodically
lubricate bearings, sliding surfaces,
and locking balls with resin-free
grease or oil and the lock with
graphite.
Remove the towball arm
and protect the seat with
the plug before steam cleaning
your vehicle.
Keep a note of the key number.
Driving
105
ROOF RACK
3-, 4- and 5-door
Pull back the rubber sealing from
the roof flange to locate the
retaining points for the roof rack
which are positioned centrally
above the doors. (On 3-door
variants, the rear retaining points
are positioned near the tailgate.)
Remove the screw plugs.
When the roof rack is removed
from the vehicle, reinsert the plugs
into the fixing points.
Estate with integral roof rack
The side mounting rails are
designed such that racks (for
bicycles, skis etc.) from the Ford
accessories range can be fitted.
Driving
106
The maximum permissible roof
rack load is 100 kg.
Loads should be evenly
distributed on the cross rails
and/or the side rails. Never place
any loads directly onto the roof
surface.
550 mm
700 mm
Note: Lockable cross rails with
fitting key from the Ford
accessories range can be obtained
from your Ford Dealer.
Take care not to install the cross
rails over the rear area of the
sunroof in such a way that it would
restrict the tilting mechanism.
To minimise wind noise, the two
cross rails can be fitted 30 cm apart
or be completely removed when
they are not in use.
BRAKES
Dual circuit braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with a
diagonally split dual circuit braking
system. If one of the brake circuits
fails, the other remains operative.
If a brake circuit fails, you
will at first experience a
softer feel to the brake pedal. You
will then need to exert a greater
force on the brake pedal and
make allowance for increased
stopping distances. Have the
braking system checked by an
expert immediately.
Disc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reduced
braking efficiency.
After leaving a carwash, dab the
brake pedal while driving to remove
the film of water.
Driving
107
Brake system warning light
The Brake system warning light
remains illuminated when the
handbrake is engaged.
If it illuminates after
releasing the handbrake or
when driving, have the braking
system checked by an expert
immediately.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The ABS operates only when the
wheels are about to lock. Its
operation is indicated by a pulsing
of the brake pedal and full steering
control is retained. Do not release
the pedal whilst braking.
Although the ABS ensures
optimum braking efficiency,
stopping distances can vary
greatly depending on the road
surface and conditions. Use of the
ABS cannot eliminate the dangers
inherent in driving too close to
the vehicle in front of you,
aquaplaning, excessive cornering
speed or poor road surfaces.
Driving
108
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
(TCS)/ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAM (ESP)
Traction control system
Drivers should never take
unnecessary risks even
though the Traction Control
System offers inherently safer
driving potential.
Principle of operation
BTCS/TCS indicator light
The Traction Control System
reduces wheel spin at the driven
wheels.
The system may become active
when accelerating on a slippery
road or loose surface, or when
pulling away on a hill.
Two different types of Traction
Control System are available with
this model range.
Brake Traction Control System
(BTCS)
(1.4 l Zetec-SE and diesel
engines)
This system minimises cross-axle
wheel slip to enhance traction at
lower speeds.
Traction Control System (TCS)
(1.6 l Zetec-SE, 1.8 l Zetec-E,
2.0 l Zetec-E and
2.0 l Duratec-ST engines)
This system controls wheel slip on
the drive axle by a combination of
engine torque reduction and brake
control (BTCS) to enhance vehicle
stability, steerability and traction at
all vehicle speeds.
Driving
109
Electronic Stability Program
(ESP)
Drivers should never take
unnecessary risks even
though the Electronic Stability
Program system offers inherently
safer driving potential.
ESP indicator light
Principle of operation
The Electronic Stability Program
(ESP) system helps the driver to
maintain the stability and
steerability of the vehicle. The
system integrates the anti-lock
braking (ABS) and Traction Control
(TCS) systems with a yaw
reduction feature to further
enhance the stability of the vehicle.
with ESP
without ESP
ESP constantly monitors the
vehicle motion relative to the
driver’s intended course. This is
done by using added sensors that
compare the steering inputs from
the driver with the actual motion of
the vehicle. When the system
detects a discrepancy, ESP changes
the force at each tyre to help
correct it.
Driving
110
If the vehicle begins to rotate
excessively left or right, spin out,
or slide sideways, the system will
attempt to correct the excessive
motion. If the vehicle does not
respond to steering inputs, the
system will attempt to alter the
turning response of the vehicle.
ESP does not work when the
vehicle is travelling backwards. In
reverse, the ABS and TCS systems
will continue to function.
Driving with TCS/ESP
BTCS/TCS indicator light
ESP indicator light
While driving, the indicator light
flashes during activation of the
system (excluding BTCS).
If the indicator light does not
illuminate when the ignition is
switched on or if it illuminates
continuously while driving, it
indicates a malfunction. During a
malfunction, the system switches
off. Have the system checked by an
expert.
Note: If the system is switched off
manually by pressing the Traction
Control System (TCS)/Electronic
Stability Program (ESP) switch,
the indicator light illuminates and
remains on until the system is
either switched back on or the
ignition is switched off.
Driving
111
Switching off the Traction
Control System (TCS)/
Electronic Stability Program
(ESP)
If you are driving with snow chains
or a spare wheel fitted, or if you are
‘rocking’ out of snow, it is
recommended that you switch off
the system.
TCS switch ESP switch
The system can be turned off
manually by pressing the Traction
Control System (TCS)/Electronic
Stability Program (ESP) switch.
Note: The Brake Traction Control
System (BTCS) cannot be switched
off.
BTCS/TCS indicator light
ESP indicator light
When the system is off, the
indicator light illuminates
continuously.
Each time the ignition is switched
on, the system is automatically
selected.
For further details, refer to the
sections Traction Control
System(TCS)/Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) switch, Spare
wheel and Snow chains.
Driving
112
ULTRASONIC PARK DISTANCE
SENSOR
The system consists of ultrasonic
sensors in the rear bumper, one
controller and a speaker. The
system measures the distance to
the closest obstacle when reversing
and helps the driver to judge this
distance correctly by audible
signals.
The park distance sensor is
an auxiliary system which is
not intended to relieve the driver
of his responsibility for exercising
due care and attention. In
particular, some objects close to
the vehicle (approx. 30 cm) and
above or below the sensors may
not be detected by the park
distance sensor and cause
damage to the vehicle. Ultrasonic
waves, heavy rain and/or
conditions causing disruptive
reflections may lead to objects
not being detected by the
sensors. In addition, objects
which absorb ultrasonic waves
may not always be detected due
to their unfavourable surface
characteristics.
The system is activated
automatically after the ignition is
switched on and the reverse gear is
selected. A short tone will sound to
indicate system readiness.
Driving
113
A system failure will be indicated
by a deep continuous tone or by a
deep tone sounding in three-second
intervals. In both cases the system
is not reliable. Have the system
checked by an expert.
The measuring range is divided
into five warning zones. As the
distance to an obstacle reduces, a
warning sounds, beginning as a
slow bleep and increasing to a
continuous tone.
Always keep the sensors free from
dirt, ice and snow (do not clean
with sharp objects).
Roadside emergencies
114
HAZARD FLASHER SWITCH
Press the switch to turn on or off.
The hazard lights can be operated
when the ignition is off.
FAIL SAFE COOLING SYSTEM
If the engine coolant supply
becomes depleted, this feature
allows the vehicle to be driven
briefly without damage to the
engine. This fail safe distance
depends on the ambient
temperature, vehicle load and
terrain.
Principle of operation
If the engine overheats, the
temperature gauge will enter the
red section and the Multi-function
warning light: automatic
transmission/cooling system will
illuminate.
If the engine temperature
continues to rise, the system will
alternate fuelling to the engine’s
cylinders. The disabled cylinders
then act as air pumps and help cool
the engine.
When this occurs, the Engine
warning light also illuminates.
The vehicle will continue to operate
but will have limited engine power
and no air conditioning capability
(if fitted).
Continued operation will increase
engine temperature and cause the
engine to shut down completely.
This is preceded by the
Multi-function warning light:
automatic transmission/cooling
system flashing for 30 seconds.
Stop the vehicle as soon as
it is safe to do so.
Roadside emergencies
115
When fail safe mode is activated:
Stop the vehicle as soon as
possible.
Immediately turn off the engine
to prevent severe engine damage.
Wait for the engine to cool.
Check the coolant level. Refer to
the chapter Maintenance and
care.
Have the vehicle checked by an
expert immediately.

Excessive tow rope tension could
result in damage to either vehicle.
The ignition key must be
set to position II when the
vehicle is being towed so that the
steering, direction indicator lights
and brake lights are fully
operational. Since the brake servo
and the power steering do not
operate with the engine switched
off, you will need to exert greater
force to the brake pedal and
steering wheel. Make allowances
for the increased braking distance
and heavier steering.
Starting manual transmission
vehicles by towing or pushing
To prevent damage to the
catalytic converter you
must not push or tow start your
vehicle when the engine is at
operating temperature. Use
jump leads and a booster battery.
It is possible to start the cold

Engine oil dipstick
The oil consumption of your engine
is influenced by many factors. New
engines reach the normal value
only after approximately 5 000 km.
Diesel and high performance
engines consume slightly more.
Under high loads your engine will
also consume more oil.
Make sure the vehicle is standing
on level ground. Check the engine
oil before starting the engine. If the
engine was running, switch it off
and wait some minutes for the
engine oil to flow back into the
sump before checking it. Pull out
the dipstick, wipe it with a clean,
non-fluffy cloth, re-insert it
completely and pull it out once
more.
If the level lies between the marks,
there is no need to refill. Hot oil
may exceed the MAX mark by
some millimetres due to thermal
expansion.
If it lies at the MIN mark refill using
only engine oil meeting the Ford
specification. Approximately
0.75 litre (diesel engine 1.5 litre) of
engine oil will raise the level of the
oil film on the dipstick from the
MIN to the MAX mark.
Top up to only the upper mark
(MAX).
For further details, refer to the
chapter Capacities and
specifications.

Engine oil filler cap
1.8 l DuraTorq-TDCi only
(twist-on fit)
(screw fit)
The oil filler cap is either a screw fit
or twist-on fit design. To open, turn
the cap anti-clockwise. Do not open
the cap while the engine is running.
Do not use oil additives or
other engine treatments.
They are unnecessary and could,
under certain conditions, lead to
engine damage which is not
covered by Ford Warranty.
To close, turn the cap clockwise
until it clicks.
Brake/clutch fluid reservoir
Do not allow this fluid to
make contact with the skin
or eyes. If this should happen
rinse the affected areas
immediately with plenty of water
and contact your doctor.
Brake and clutch fluid systems are
supplied from the same reservoir.
The level of the fluid must lie
between the MIN and MAX marks
on the side of the reservoir.
If the level falls below the MIN
mark, the brake fluid level warning
light will illuminate. Refer to the
section Brake system warning
light in the chapter
Instrumentation.
Maintenance and care
153
Cooling system reservoir
To avoid scalding, never
remove the cap from the
coolant reservoir when the engine
is hot. Do not restart the engine
until the problem has been
eliminated.
The coolant level is visible through
the translucent reservoir. The
coolant level should be between the
MIN and the MAX mark when the
engine is cold. Hot coolant expands
and may, therefore, extend beyond
the MAX mark.
The coolant should be added when
the engine is cold. If coolant has to
be added when the engine is hot,
first wait 10 minutes for the engine
to cool. Initially, unscrew the cap
only one quarter turn to allow the
pressure to escape. Wait a moment
then open it fully.
Take great care when
adding coolant. Avoid
spillage on any part of the engine.
Add only coolant that meets the
Ford Specification. For further
details, refer to the chapter
Capacities and specifications.
Engine coolant
Do not allow this fluid to
make contact with the skin

Maintenance and care
154
Checking power steering fluid
level
The fluid level should come up to
the MAX mark when the engine is
cold.
If it drops below the MIN mark, top
up with the specified fluid. For
further details, refer to the section
Vehicle fluids.
Screen washer systems
Front and rear washer systems are
supplied from the same reservoir.
Replace the cap securely after
topping up.
Headlight washer system
Maintenance and care
155
Do not operate the washer
for more than 10 seconds at
a time, and never when the
reservoir is empty.
The headlight washer system
operates only when the exterior
lights are switched on and the front
screen washer is used. The system
is supplied from the screen washer
fluid reservoir.
Adjusting screen washer jets
The eye ball jets can be adjusted
precisely using a pin.
The washer jet for the rear screen
is located on the roof above the
rear screen.
To ensure the system functions
properly, keep the washer jets free
of snow and ice.
Switching on the heated front
screen defrosts both the front
screen and the front washer jets.
Checking wiper blades
Check the wiper blades on your
vehicle for roughness by running
the tip of your fingers over the edge
of the blade. Clean the wiper blade
lips with water applied with a soft
sponge.
Renewing wiper blades
Lift the wiper arm and position the
wiper blade at a right angle to the
wiper arm. To remove, press the
retaining clip in the direction of the
arrow, disengage the wiper blade
and pull it off the arm in the
opposite direction.
Maintenance and care
156
TYRES
For your safety
If you have to mount a kerb, do so
slowly and, if possible, approach it
with the wheels at right-angles to
the kerb. Avoid steep and sharp
edged obstacles. Do not scrub the
tyre sidewalls when parking.
Regularly examine the tyre surface
for cuts, foreign bodies and uneven
wear. An uneven tread wear pattern
could indicate faulty wheel
alignment.
Refer to the chapter Capacities
and specifications for permissible
snow chains.
WASHING YOUR VEHICLE
The best procedure is brushless
washing in a good car wash
installation.
In installations operating
with high water pressure,
water might be forced into the
vehicle’s interior or parts may get
damaged.
Unscrew and remove the
radio aerial before entering
an automatic car wash. Switch off
the heater blower to prevent
contamination of the fresh air
filter.
If a waxing cycle is selected, please
ensure that the wax is removed
from the front screen afterwards.
Cleaning the headlights
To avoid damaging the clear plastic
headlight lens do not use
aggressive abrasives or chemical
solvents. Do not wipe the lights
when they are dry or use sharp
objects to clean the lenses.
Cleaning the rear screen
To avoid damaging the heating
elements when cleaning the inside
of the rear screen use only a soft
cloth or a damp chamois leather.
Do not use solvent or sharp objects
to clean the glass.
Maintenance and care
157
Cleaning seat belts
Use interior cleaner or clean warm
water. Dry naturally, away from
artificial heat.
Do not use chemical cleaners,
boiling water, bleach, or dye. Do
not allow moisture to penetrate the
seat belt retractor mechanism.
PAINT CHIP REPAIR
Paint damage from road chippings
or minor scratches can be repaired
using aerosol paint spray or
touch-up paint. The Ford
Accessory range is recommended.
Observe the application instruction
on each product.
To retain vehicle warranty
on paintwork, remove
apparently harmless looking but
often aggressive particles from
the paintwork immediately – e.g.
bird droppings, tree resins, insect
remains, tar spots, road salt and
industrial fall-out.
BODY PAINTWORK
PRESERVATION
Wax the body paintwork of your
vehicle once or twice a year. This
will help retain the glossy
paintwork finish and water droplets
will run off more easily.
When polishing your vehicle
ensure that polish does not
come into contact with the plastic
surfaces as it may prove difficult
to remove.
Do not polish the vehicle in
strong sunshine.
Do not apply polish to front or rear
screen, as this may result in poor or
noisy wiper action.

ENGINE OIL
Engine oil change
Ford/Motorcraft Formula E
SAE 5W-30 engine oil.
Alternative engine oils with the
viscosity SAE 5W-30 meeting the
requirements of Ford Specification
WSS-M2C913-B may also be used.
Engine oil top-up
If you are unable to find an oil that
meets this specification, you must
use an oil of the viscosity
SAE 5W-30, SAE 5W-40 or
SAE 10W-40, according to ambient
temperatures, meeting the
requirements of either
ACEA A1/B1 or ACEA A3/B3
specifications. Use of these oils
may result in longer cranking
periods, reduced engine
performance, reduced fuel
economy, and increased emission
levels.

Snow chains
Use only small link snow chains on
the driving wheels (front).
Snow chains may only be fitted to
185/65 R 14 tyres. On the ST170,
snow chains may only be fitted to
195/55 R 16 tyres.
Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Remove the chains immediately on
snow-free roads.
When using snow chains, vehicles
with the Traction Control System
(TCS) or Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics
which can be avoided by switching
the system off.
Refer to the section Traction
Control System (TCS)/Electronic
Stability Program (ESP).
In order to avoid damaging
full-diameter wheel covers, they
should be removed before driving
with snow chains.
