DATA RECORDINGA large number of electronic componentsof your vehicle contain data storagemodules temporarily or permanentlystoring technical data about the conditionof the vehicle, events and errors.

In general, this technical informationdocuments the condition of parts,modules, systems or the environment:• Operating conditions of system

components (e.g. filling levels).• Status messages of the vehicle and its

individual components (e.g. number ofwheel revolutions/rotational speed,deceleration, lateral acceleration).

• Malfunction and defects in importantsystem components (e.g. lighting andbrake system).

• Vehicle reactions in particular drivingsituations (e.g. inflation of an airbag,activation of the stability regulationsystem).

• Environmental conditions (e.g.temperature).

These data are exclusively technical andhelp identification and correction of errorsas well as optimisation of vehiclefunctions. Motion profiles indicatingtravelled routes cannot be created withthese data.If services are used (e.g. repair works,service processes, warranty cases, qualityassurance), employees of the servicenetwork (including manufacturers) areable to read out this technical informationfrom the event and error data storagemodules using special diagnostic devices.If required, you will receive furtherinformation. After an error has beencorrected, these data are deleted from theerror storage module or they are constantlyoverwritten.When using the vehicle, situations mayoccur in which these technical data relatedto other information (accident report,damages on the vehicle, witnessstatements etc.) may be associated witha specific person - possibly, with theassistance of an expert.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGSDo not modify the front of yourvehicle in any way. This couldadversely affect deployment of the

airbags.Never use a child or baby seat in thefront seat on the passenger side.Maximum airbag efficiency isobtained with the correct seat andseat backrest adjustment. Adjust

them so that the steering wheel can beheld with the arms slightly bent, and placethe seat backrest almost in the verticalposition (30° at most). Fasten the seatbeltand keep a distance of at least 25centimeters between the steering wheeland the driver's chest to reduce the risk ofinjury for being much too close to theairbag when it is inflated. The same appliesto the front passenger.

Have repairs to the steering wheel,steering column, seats, airbags andsafety belts carried out only by an

authorized dealer.Do not place anything over theairbag. Objects placed over theairbag inflation area may be

projected on your face and torso when theairbag is triggered, causing serious injury.Failure to follow these instructions mayincrease the risk of injury in case of a crash.

Do not puncture the seat with pins,needles or other pointed objects.This could cause damage and

adversely affect deployment of theairbags.

Use seat covers designed for seatswith side airbags. Have theminstalled by an authorized dealer.

WARNINGSMany airbag system componentsbecome hot after triggering. Avoidtouching any component of the

airbag system soon after triggering as thismay result in serious injury.

Note: You will hear a loud bang and see acloud of harmless powdery residue if anairbag deploys. This is normal.Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a dampcloth.Note: Do not allow passengers in the frontseat to ride with their feet, knees or anyother body part touching or too close to theairbag cover. There is a risk of serious injuryif the airbag is triggered.Note: Never place your arm over the airbagas a deploying airbag can result in seriousarm fractures or other injuries.Note: Modifying or adding equipment tothe front part of the vehicle (includingchassis, bumper, front body structures andtowing hooks) may affect the performanceof the airbag system, increasing the risk ofinjury. Do not modify the front part of yourvehicle.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATIONOutside AirKeep the air intakes in front of thewindshield free from obstruction (such assnow or leaves) to allow the climatecontrol system to function effectively.

Recirculated AirWARNING

Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to mist up. If thewindows mist up, follow the settings

for demisting the windshield.

The air currently in the passengercompartment recirculates. Outside air doesnot enter your vehicle.

HeatingHeating performance depends on thetemperature of the engine coolant.

General Information on Controllingthe Interior ClimateFully close all the windows.

Warming the InteriorDirect the air toward your feet. In cold orhumid weather conditions, direct some ofthe air toward the windshield and the doorwindows.

Cooling the InteriorDirect the air toward your face.

Air ConditioningThe system directs air through theevaporator for cooling. The evaporatorextracts humidity from the air to help keepthe windows free of mist. The systemdirects the resulting condensation to theoutside of your vehicle, which may causea small pool to form under your vehicle.This is normal.Note: The air conditioning operates onlywhen the temperature is above 4°C.Note: When you use air conditioning, yourvehicle uses more fuel.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGSDo not overfill the fuel tank. Thepressure in an overfilled tank maycause leakage and lead to fuel spray

and fire.Automotive fuels can cause seriousinjury or death if misused ormishandled.The flow of fuel through a fuel pumpnozzle can produce static electricity,which can cause a fire if fuel is

pumped into an ungrounded fuel container.Gasoline may contain benzene,which is a cancer-causing agent.When refueling always shut theengine off and never allow sparks oropen flames near the filler neck.

Never smoke while refueling. Fuel vapor isextremely hazardous under certainconditions. Care should be taken to avoidinhaling excess fumes.

The fuel system be under pressure.If you hear a hissing sound near thefuel filler door, do not refuel until the

sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may sprayout, wich could cause serious personalinjury.

Observe the following guidelines whenhandling automotive fuel:• Extinguish all smoking materials and

any open flames before refueling yourvehicle.

• Always turn off the vehicle beforerefueling.

• Automotive fuels can be harmful orfatal if swallowed. Fuel such asgasoline is highly toxic and ifswallowed can cause death orpermanent injury. If fuel is swallowed,call a physician immediately, even if nosymptoms are immediately apparent.The toxic effects of fuel may not bevisible for hours.

• Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling toomuch fuel vapor of any kind can leadto eye and respiratory tract irritation.In severe cases, excessive or prolongedbreathing of fuel vapor can causeserious illness and permanent injury.

• Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. Iffuel is splashed in the eyes, removecontact lenses (if worn), flush withwater for 15 minutes and seek medicalattention. Failure to seek propermedical attention could lead topermanent injury.

• Fuels can also be harmful if absorbedthrough the skin. If fuel is splashed onthe skin, clothing or both, promptlyremove contaminated clothing andwash skin thoroughly with soap andwater. Repeated or prolonged skincontact with fuel liquid or vapor causesskin irritation.

FUEL QUALITY - GASOLINE

WARNINGSDo not mix gasoline with oil, dieselor other liquids. This could cause achemical reaction.Do not use leaded gasoline orgasoline with additives containingother metallic compounds (e.g.

manganese-based). They could damagethe emission system.

Note: We recommend that you use onlyhigh quality fuel.

81


Fuel and Refueling

Note: We do not recommend the use ofadditional additives or other enginetreatments for normal vehicle use.Use minimum 91 octane unleaded gasolinethat meets the specification defined by EN228 or the equivalent nationalspecification.Your vehicle is suitable for use with ethanolblends up to 20% (E20).

Long-Term StorageMost gasoline contains ethanol. Werecommend that you fill the fuel tank withfuel that does not contain ethanol if youintend to store your vehicle for more thantwo months. Alternatively, we recommendthat you seek advice from an authorizeddealer.

RUNNING OUT OF FUELAvoid running out of fuel because thissituation may have an adverse effect onengine components.If you have run out of fuel:• You may need to cycle the ignition from

off to on several times after refuelingto allow the fuel system to pump thefuel from the tank to the engine. Onrestarting, cranking time will take a fewseconds longer than normal. Withkeyless ignition, just start the engine.Crank time will be longer than usual.

• Normally, adding 4 L of fuel is enoughto restart the engine. If the vehicle isout of fuel and on a steep grade, morethan 4 L may be required.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

WARNINGDo not park or idle your vehicle overdry leaves, dry grass or othercombustible materials. The exhaust

will radiate a considerable amount of heatduring use, and after you have switchedthe engine off. This is a potential firehazard.

Driving with a Catalytic ConverterWARNINGS

Avoid running out of fuel.

Do not crank the engine for longperiods.Do not run the engine when a sparkplug lead is disconnected.Do not push-start or tow-start yourvehicle. Use booster cables. SeeJump Starting the Vehicle (page

105).Do not switch the ignition off whendriving.

REFUELING

WARNINGSDo not attempt to start the engine ifyou have filled the fuel tank with theincorrect fuel. This could damage the

engine. Have the system checkedimmediately by a Ford Dealer.

Do not use any kind of flames or heatnear the fuel system. The fuel systemis under pressure. There is a risk of

injury if the fuel system is leaking.

82


Fuel and Refueling

WARNINGSIf you use a high pressure spray towash your vehicle, only spray the fuelfiller flap briefly from a distance not

less than 20 centimeters.

Note: Flex fuel vehicles can be fueled withgasoline, ethanol or a mixture of both.If you are refueling with a different fuelthan that used previously, we recommendthat you drive the vehicle immediately afterrefueling for at least 10 minutes. This isnecessary because the engine controlmodule needs to adapt itself to the fuelpresent in the tank. This procedure isespecially important when the fuel levelgauge indicates less than half beforerefueling.If your vehicle stopped due to lack of fuel(empty tank) you should refuel preferablywith gasoline.

Fuel Filler CapYour fuel tank filler cap has a regular turnstyle design, with two to three turns on oroff.When fueling your vehicle:1. Turn the engine off.2. Carefully turn the filler cap

counterclockwise two to three turns,until it opens.

3. Hang the fuel cap tether cord on thefiller door hook.

4. After refueling, to install the cap, alignit with the filler pipe.

5. Turn the filler cap clockwise two tothree turns until it clicks twice.

If you must replace the fuel filler cap,replace it with a fuel filler cap that isdesigned for your vehicle. The customerwarranty may be void for any damage tothe fuel tank or fuel system if the correctgenuine Ford fuel filler cap is not used.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONNote: The amount of usable fuel in theempty reserve varies and should not berelied upon to increase driving range. Whenrefueling your vehicle after the fuel gaugeindicates empty, you might not be able torefuel the full amount of the advertisedcapacity of the fuel tank due to the emptyreserve still present in the tank.Indicated capacity is the difference in theamount of fuel in a full tank and a tankwhen the fuel gauge indicates empty.Empty reserve is the amount of fuel in thetank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.Your dealer can give you advice onimproving your fuel consumption.

Filling the TankFor consistent results when filling the fueltank:• Turn the ignition off before fueling; an

inaccurate reading results if the engineis left running.

• Use the same fill rate(low-medium-high) each time the tankis filled.

• The maximum tank capacity, duringfueling, is reached when the pump isautomatically cut off for the secondtime.

Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.

Calculating Fuel EconomyDo not measure fuel economy during thefirst 1600 kilometers of driving (this is yourengine’s break-in period); a more accuratemeasurement is obtained after 3200kilometers - 4800 kilometers. Also, fuelexpense, frequency of fill ups or fuel gaugereadings are not accurate ways to measurefuel economy.

83


Fuel and Refueling

1. Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.

2. Each time you fill the tank, record theamount of fuel added.

3. After at least three to five tank fill ups,fill the fuel tank and record the currentodometer reading.

4. Subtract your initial odometer readingfrom the current odometer reading.

5. Calculate fuel economy by multiplyingliters used by 100, and then dividing itby the traveled kilometers.

Keep a record for at least one month andrecord the type of driving (city or highway).This provides an accurate estimate of thevehicle’s fuel economy under currentdriving conditions. Additionally, keepingrecords during summer and winter showhow temperature impacts fuel economy.In general, lower temperatures mean lowerfuel economy.

Brakes

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATIONThe traction control system helps avoiddrive wheel spin and loss of traction.If your vehicle begins to slide, the systemapplies the brakes to individual wheelsand, when needed, reduces engine powerat the same time. If the wheels spin whenaccelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,the system reduces engine power in orderto increase traction.

USING TRACTION CONTROLIn certain situations for example, stuck insnow or mud, turning the traction controloff may be beneficial as this allows thewheels to spin with full engine power.Depending on the type of system you haveon your vehicle, you can either turn thesystem off using the information displayor by pressing the button.

WARNINGSThe parking aid does not relieve youof your responsibility to drive withdue care and attention.The sensors may not detect objectsin heavy rain or other conditions thatcause disruptive reflections.The sensors may not detect objectswith surfaces that absorb ultrasonicwaves.The parking aid does not detectobstacles moving away from thevehicle. They will only be detected

shortly after they start to move towardsthe vehicle again.

Take particular care when reversingwith rear fitted accessories e.g. abicycle carrier, as the rear parking aid

will only indicate the distance from thebumper to the obstacle.

If you use a high pressure spray towash your vehicle, only spray thesensors briefly from a distance not

less than 8 inches (20 centimeters).

Note: Keep the sensors free from dirt, iceand snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.Note: The parking aid may emit false tonesif it detects a signal using the samefrequency as the sensors or if the vehicle isfully laden.Note: The outer sensors may detect theside walls of a garage. If the distancebetween the outer sensor and the side wallremains constant for three seconds, thetone will switch off. As you continue, theinner sensors will detect rearward objects.

PARKING AID

WARNINGSTo help avoid personal injury, pleaseread and understand the limitationsof the system as contained in this

section. Sensing is only an aid for some(generally large and fixed) objects whenmoving in reverse on a flat surface atparking speeds. Traffic control systems,inclement weather, air brakes, and externalmotors and fans may also affect thefunction of the sensing system; this mayinclude reduced performance or a falseactivation.

To help avoid personal injury, alwaysuse caution when in R (Reverse) andwhen using the sensing system.This system is not designed toprevent contact with small or movingobjects. The system is designed to

provide a warning to assist the driver indetecting large stationary objects to avoiddamaging the vehicle. The system may notdetect smaller objects, particularly thoseclose to the ground.

Certain add-on devices such as largetrailer hitches, bike or surfboard racksand any device that may block the

normal detection zone of the system, maycreate false beeps.

Note: Keep the sensors located on thebumper or fascia free from snow, ice andlarge accumulations of dirt. If the sensorsare covered, the system’s accuracy can beaffected. Do not clean the sensors withsharp objects.Note: If your vehicle sustains damage tothe bumper or fascia, leaving it misalignedor bent, the sensing zone may be alteredcausing inaccurate measurement ofobstacles or false alarms.

STEERINGElectric Power Steering

WARNINGObtain immediate service if a systemerror is detected. You may not noticeany difference in the feel of your

steering, but a serious condition may exist.Failure to do so may result in loss ofsteering control.

Note: Your vehicle is equipped with anelectric power-assisted steering system.There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill.The electric power steering systemoperates by an electric motor, whichreduces the effort on the driver's steeringwheel.The system operates progressively andduring maneuvers, the system leaves theeffort lighter. As the vehicle speedincreases, it reduces its action to improvethe control of the vehicle.The electric power steering system hasdiagnostic checks that continuouslymonitor the system to ensure properoperation. When a system error occurs, amessage will appear in the informationdisplay. If this happens, stop the vehicle ina safe place, and switch off the engine.After at least 10 seconds, reset the systemby restarting the engine, and watch theinformation display for a steering message.If a steering message returns, or returnswhile driving, take the vehicle to anauthorized dealer to have it checked.If your vehicle loses electrical power whileyou are driving (or if the ignition is turnedoff), you can steer the vehicle manually,but it takes more effort. Extremecontinuous steering may increase the effortit takes for you to steer. This occurs toprevent internal overheating andpermanent damage to your steering

system. If this should occur, you will notlose the ability to steer the vehiclemanually nor will it cause permanentdamage. Typical steering and drivingmaneuvers will allow the system to cooland steering assist will return to normal.

Steering TipsAvoid sudden movements with the steeringwheel. The force required to change thevehicle direction is lower, compared to avehicle with mechanical steering.If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:• An improperly inflated tire• Uneven tire wear• Loose or worn suspension components• Loose or worn steering components• Improper vehicle alignmentA high crown in the road or high crosswindsmay also make the steering seem towander or pull.

ENGINE OIL CHECK

WARNINGSDo not use oil additives or otherengine treatments. Under certainconditions, they could damage the

engine and it is not covered underwarranty.

Empty engine oil containers shouldnot be disposed of in domestic trashbins. Use only proper containers to

dispose of this type of waste.When changing your oil, ensure thatthe oil used is the same as specifiedand the correct amount. Do not use

unknown types of oil or from alreadyopened containers.

Note: The oil consumption of new enginesreaches its normal level after approximately5,000 km.

Checking the Oil LevelNote: Check the level before starting theengine.

Note: Make sure that the level is betweenthe MIN and the MAX marks.Note: Level measurement will not beaccurate if this procedure is not followed.1. Make sure that your vehicle is on level

ground.2. If the engine is running turn it off and

wait 15 minutes for the oil to drain intothe oil pan.

3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it witha clean, lint free cloth. Replace thedipstick and remove it again to checkthe oil level.

If the level is at the MIN mark, top upimmediately.

Topping UpWARNINGS

Only top up when the engine is cold.If the engine is hot, wait 15 minutesfor the engine to cool down.Do not remove the filler cap whenthe engine is running.

Remove the filler cap.WARNING

Do not top up further than the MAXmark.

Note: Oil expands when it is hot. Checkingthe oil level when hot will be above the MAXmark.Note: Soak up any spillage with anabsorbent cloth immediately.Top up with fluid that meets the Fordspecification. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 142).Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feela strong resistance.

119


Maintenance

Engine severe usage conditionsIn case of vehicle severe usage, engine oilshould be changed every 5,000 km or 3months, whichever occurs first.Severe usage conditions:• Short distances (less than 5 km), in

which the engine does not reachnormal operating temperature,

• Frequent usage of vehicle on dustyroads or in mountain areas,

• Usage in heavy urban traffic,• Usage as driving instructors vehicle,

taxi vehicle, ambulance, military usageor similar activities,

• Extended usage with contaminatedfuel.

Oil ConsumptionIn the first 5,000 km (run-in period) the oilconsumption is higher, and therefore theoil level should be checked morefrequently. Maximum acceptableconsumption in this period is one liter. Afterthe break-in period the engine canconsume up to one liter every 10,000 km.If the consumption is higher, go to yourFord Dealer.Oil consumption also depends on drivingstyle and vehicle use. Special operatingconditions such as, operating your vehiclefrequently at high speeds, could increaseoil consumption.

Oil FilterThe oil filter's function is to filter outharmful particles without obstructing theflow of oil to vital parts. Use of oil filtersnot meeting Ford specifications coulddamage the engine.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

WARNINGDo not allow the fluid to touch yourskin or eyes. If this happens, rinse theaffected areas immediately with

plenty of water and contact your physician.

Note: Make sure that the level is betweenthe MIN and the MAX marks.Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. Thelevel may therefore extend beyond the MAXmark.If the level is at the MIN mark, add coolantimmediately.

Adding Engine CoolantWARNINGS

Only add coolant when the engine iscold. If the engine is hot, wait 10minutes for the engine to cool down.Do not remove the filler cap whenthe engine is running.Do not remove the filler cap whenthe engine is hot. Wait for the engineto cool down.Undiluted coolant is flammable andmay ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.

Note: Inspect or replace the lid with the carturned off and the engine cold, to avoidinjuries or burns.Note: In an emergency, you can add justwater to the cooling system to reach avehicle service station. Have the systemchecked by a Ford Dealer as soon aspossible.Note: Prolonged use of incorrect dilutionof the coolant can cause engine damagefrom corrosion, overheating or freezing.

120


Maintenance

Note: Do not add coolant further than theMAX mark.Note: If coolant levels are outside thestandard operational range, theperformance of the system may becompromised; seek a Ford Dealerimmediately.Note: The cooling system expansionreservoir lid should be inspected andcleaned every 3 years approximately. If thereare any evidences of deterioration of thesealing ring, the lid should be replaced.Note: It is normal to see some air bubblesin the coolant reservoir fluid.1. Remove the filler cap. Any pressure will

escape slowly as you unscrew the cap.2. Add a mixture of 50% coolant and

50% water using fluid that meets theFord specifications. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 130).

3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until youfeel a strong resistance.

BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUIDCHECK

WARNINGSUse of any fluid other than therecommended brake fluid mayreduce brake efficiency and not meet

Ford's performance standards.Do not allow the fluid to touch yourskin or eyes. If this happens, rinse theaffected areas immediately with

plenty of water and contact your doctor.Clean the filler cap before removing.Use only fluid that meets Fordspecifications and from a sealed

container.

Note: Keep brake fluid clean and dry.Contamination with dirt, water, petroleumproducts or other materials may result inbrake system damage and possible failure.Note: The brake and the clutch systems aresupplied from the same reservoir.The fluid level will drop slowly as thebrakes wear, and will rise when the brakecomponents are replaced.Fluid levels between the MIN and MAXlines are within the normal operating range;there is no need to add fluid.If the fluid levels are outside of the normaloperating range, the performance of thesystem could be compromised; seekservice from you authorized dealerimmediately.Top up with fluid that meets the Fordspecification. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 142).

WASHER FLUID CHECKNote: The reservoir supplies the front andrear washer systems.When adding fluid, use a mixture of washerfluid and water to help prevent freezing incold weather and improve the cleaningcapability. We recommend that you useonly high quality washer fluid.For information on fluid dilution, refer tothe product instructions.

GENERAL INFORMATIONRadio Frequencies and Reception Factors

Radio reception factors

The further you travel away from an FM station, the weakerthe signal and the weaker the reception.

Distance and Strength

Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freewayoverpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage andthunderstorms can interfere with the reception.

Terrain

When you pass near a radio transmission tower, a strongersignal can override a weaker signal and can cause interfer-ence in the audio system.

Station overload

CD and CD Player InformationNote: CD units play commercially pressed4.75-inch (12 centimeter) audio compactdiscs only. Due to technical incompatibility,certain recordable and re-recordablecompact discs may not function correctlywhen used in Ford CD players.Note: Do not insert CDs with homemadepaper (adhesive) labels into the CD playeras the label may peel and cause the CD tobecome jammed. You should use apermanent felt tip marker rather thanadhesive labels on your homemade CDs.Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Pleasecontact an authorized dealer for furtherinformation.Note: Do not use any irregularly shapeddiscs or discs with a scratch protection filmattached.Always handle discs by their edges only.Clean the disc with an approved CDcleaner only. Wipe it from the center of thedisc toward the edge. Do not clean in acircular motion.Do not expose discs to direct sunlight orheat sources for extended periods.

MP3 and WMA Track and FolderStructureAudio systems capable of recognizing andplaying MP3 and WMA individual tracksand folder structures work as follows:• There are two different modes for MP3

and WMA disc playback: MP3 andWMA track mode (system default) andMP3 and WMA folder mode.

• MP3 and WMA track mode ignores anyfolder structure on the MP3 and WMAdisc. The player numbers each MP3and WMA track on the disc (noted bythe MP3 or WMA file extension) fromT001 to a maximum of T255. Themaximum number of playable MP3 andWMA files may be less depending onthe structure of the CD and exactmodel of radio present.

143


Audio System

• MP3 and WMA folder mode representsa folder structure consisting of onelevel of folders. The CD player numbersall MP3 and WMA tracks on the disc(noted by the MP3 or WMA fileextension) and all folders containingMP3 and WMA files, from F001 (folder)T001 (track) to F253 T255.

• Creating discs with only one level offolders helps with navigation throughthe disc files.

If you are burning your own MP3 and WMAdiscs, it is important to understand howthe system reads the structures you create.While various files may be present, (fileswith extensions other than MP3 andWMA), only files with the MP3 and WMAextension are played; other files areignored by the system. This enables you touse the same MP3 and WMA disc for avariety of tasks on your work computer,home computer and your in-vehiclesystem.In track mode, the system displays andplays the structure as if it were only onelevel deep (all MP3 and WMA files play,regardless of being in a specific folder). Infolder mode, the system only plays theMP3 and WMA files in the current folder.
