Outside air

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

Recirculated air

CAUTION

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

for defrosting and demisting thewindscreen.

The air currently in the passengercompartment will be recirculated. Outsideair will not enter the vehicle.

Heating

Heating performance depends on thetemperature of the engine coolant.

Air conditioning

Note: The air conditioning operates onlywhen the temperature is above 4ºC(39ºF).

Note: If you use the air conditioning, thefuel consumption of your vehicle will behigher.

Air is directed through the evaporatorwhere it is cooled. Humidity is extractedfrom the air to help keep the windows freeof mist. The resulting condensation isdirected to the outside of the vehicle andit is therefore normal if you see a smallpool of water under your vehicle.

General information oncontrolling the interior climate

AUXILIARYHEATER

Parking heater

WARNING

The parking heater must not beoperated at filling stations, nearsources of combustible vapours or

dust or in enclosed spaces.

The parking heater operatesindependently of the vehicle heater byheating the engine’s coolant circuit. It isfed from the vehicle fuel tank. You canalso use it while the vehicle is in motion tohelp the vehicle heater warm up theinterior more quickly.

Used properly, the parking heaterprovides the following benefits:

• It preheats the interior of the vehicle.

• It keeps the windows clear of ice inthe event of frost and preventscondensation.

• It avoids cold starts and allows theengine to reach operatingtemperature sooner.

Note: The parking heater will onlyoperate if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank and theambient temperature is below 15°C(59°F). The heater will not operate if thebattery is low.

Note: The heating depends on theoutside air temperature.

Note: When the parking heater isactivated, exhaust fumes may come fromunder the sides of the vehicle. This isnormal.

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

To prevent the battery from discharging:

• Once the parking heater hasperformed one heating cycle, the nextprogrammed heating cycle will onlybe carried out if you have started thevehicle’s engine in between.

• After a heating cycle, drive the vehiclefor at least the period of the heatingcycle.

Programming the parking heater

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

Note: You must programme the timesat least 70 minutes in advance of the timeyou wish to set.

Note: You must set the time and datecorrectly. See Clock (page 121).

If the engine does not start, repeat theCold or hot engine procedure.

Engineidlespeedafterstarting

The speed at which the engine idlesimmediately after starting will varydepending on the engine temperature.

If the engine is cold then the idle speedwill automatically be increased in order toheat the catalytic converter as quickly aspossible. This ensures that vehicleemissions are kept to an absoluteminimum.

The idle speed will slowly decrease to thenormal level as the catalytic converterwarms up.

STARTINGAPETROLENGINE - E85

For general information on starting apetrol engine. See Starting a petrolengine (page 129).

Starting at lowambienttemperatures

When the temperature is lower than -10°C(14°F) and the vehicle is filled with E85, anengine block heater should be used tofacilitate starting. See Engine heater(page 132). Failure to do this will result in anon start.

If the temperature is expected to remainbelow -10°C (14°F), it is recommendedthat you increase the proportion of petrolin the tank by topping up with 95 octaneunleaded petrol if the tank is not alreadyfull. About 10 litres (2.2 gallons) of petrolwill reduce the proportion of E85 in a ¾full tank from 85% to 70% and willconsiderably improve cold start capability.

If, at very low temperatures, the tank isfilled with only E85 and there is no way touse an engine block heater, you mayexperience difficulties starting the engine.

130

Starting the engine

If the engine fails to start, proceed asfollows:

1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal.

2. Turn the ignition key to position III.

CAUTION

Release the ignition key as soon asthe engine has started.

3. Gradually release the acceleratorpedal after 5 seconds of enginecranking or as the engine speed rises.

If the engine fails to start, repeat steps 1,2 and 3, or connect an engine blockheater for two hours before attemptinganother start.

During starting, the fuel injectors areturned off as long as the accelerator pedalis depressed. This can be used to drainexcessive fuel from the intake manifoldafter several unsuccessful startingattempts.

If the battery has been disconnected orafter the fuel type has been changed, theidle speed may be irregular. This willimprove after 10 to 30 seconds.

STARTINGADIESELENGINE

Cold or hot engine

All vehicles

Note: When the temperature is below-15ºC (5ºF), you may need to crank theengine for up to 25 seconds. If youconsistently operate the vehicle in suchtemperatures, we recommend that youhave an engine block heater fitted.

Note:Continue cranking the engine untilit starts.

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

Switch the ignition on and waituntil the glow plug indicatorgoes off.









DIESELPARTICULATEFILTER (DPF)

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

Regeneration

WARNING

Do not park or idle your vehicle overdry leaves, dry grass or othercombustible materials. The DPF

regeneration process creates very highexhaust gas temperatures and theexhaust will radiate a considerableamount of heat during and after DPFregeneration, and after you have switchedthe engine off. This is a potential firehazard.

131

Starting the engine

Unlike a normal filter which requiresperiodic replacement, the DPF has beendesigned to regenerate, or clean itself tomaintain operating efficiency. Theregeneration process takes placeautomatically. However, some drivingconditions mean that you may need tosupport the regeneration process.

If you drive only short distances or yourjourneys contain frequent stopping andstarting, occasional trips with the followingconditions could assist the regenerationprocess:

• Drive your vehicle, preferably on amain road or motorway, for up to 20minutes avoiding prolonged idling, butalways observing speed limits androad conditions.

• Do not switch off the ignition.

• Use a lower gear than normal tomaintain a higher engine speed duringthis journey, where appropriate.

SWITCHINGOFF THEENGINE

Vehicleswith a turbocharger

CAUTION

Do not switch the engine off when itis running at high speed. If you do,the turbocharger will continue

running after the engine oil pressure hasdropped to zero. This will lead topremature turbocharger bearing wear.

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait untilthe engine has reached idle speed andthen switch it off.

ENGINEHEATER

CAUTION

Make sure you disconnect the powercable from the engine heaterconnector before driving away.

Note: The engine heater connector islocated in the radiator grille at the front ofyour vehicle.

Cruise control


The adaptive cruise control system isdesigned to help you maintain a gap fromthe vehicle ahead or a set road speed ifthere is no slower vehicle ahead. Thesystem is intended to provide enhancedoperation of the vehicle when followingother vehicles which are in the same laneand travelling in the same direction.

WARNINGSAdaptive cruise control is not acollision warning or avoidancesystem. The separate forward alert

function provides a collision warning andmitigation feature. See Forward alertfunction (page 155). You must interveneif the system does not detect a vehicle infront.

Adaptive cruise control cannotcover all traffic, weather and roadconditions.

When driving you are responsiblefor maintaining the correct distanceand speed, even when adaptive

cruise control is used. You must alwayspay attention to the traffic conditions andintervene when adaptive cruise control isnot maintaining a suitable speed orsuitable distance.

The adaptive cruise control doesnot brake for slow or stationaryvehicles.

When ACC is activated, you mayhear some unusual sounds duringautomatic braking. This is normal

and caused by the automatic brakingsystem.

The adaptive cruise control system isbased on the use of a radar sensor whichprojects a beam directly forward of thevehicle. This beam will detect any vehicleahead within the system's range.

The radar sensor is mounted behind thefront grille, immediately to the right of theFord badge (when viewed from the frontof the vehicle).

When using ACC, follow the strictguidelines below:

• Only use adaptive cruise control whenconditions are favourable, for exampleon motorways and main roads withsteady free flowing traffic.

• Do not use in poor visibility, specificallyfog, heavy rain, spray or snow.

• Do not use on icy or slippery roads.

• It is your responsibility to stay alert,drive safely and be in control of thevehicle at all times.

• Keep the front of the vehicle free fromdirt, metal badges or objects, includingvehicle front protectors and additionallights which may prevent the sensorfrom operating.

• Do not use ACC when entering orleaving a motorway.

The radar sensor has a limited field ofvision. In some situations it may detect avehicle other than the one expected ornot detect any vehicle at all.

151

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

Detection beam issues

E71621

Detection issues can occur:

• When driving on a different line to thevehicle in front (A).

• With vehicles that edge into your lanethat can only be detected once theyhave moved fully into your lane (B).Motorcycles may be detected late, ornot at all.

• There may be issues with thedetection of vehicles in front whengoing into and coming out of a bend(C). The detection beam will not followsharp curves in the road.

WARNING

In these cases ACC may brake lateor unexpectedly. The driver shouldstay alert and intervene if necessary.

Automatic brakingwith ACC

Adaptive cruise control will automaticallybrake for you, if required to maintain theset gap between your vehicle and the onedetected in front. This braking capacity islimited to approximately 30% of the totalmanual braking capacity to ensuresmooth and comfortable cruising. If thecar needs to brake more heavily than this,and you do not intervene by brakingmanually, an alarm will sound and awarning symbol will be displayed in thecluster.

WARNING

You must take immediate actiononce alerted, as the ACC brakingwill not be sufficient to keep a safe

distance to the vehicle in front.

USINGACC

The system is operated by adjustmentcontrols mounted on the steering wheel.The system is deactivated when thebrakes or clutch are used, the gearselector is moved to a neutral position orif the accelerator pedal is depressed fora longer period. The system will changeto standby mode, allowing you full manualcontrol of the vehicle.

Note: If the accelerator is depressed fora short period, for example whenovertaking, the system is temporarilydeactivated and then reactivated whenthe accelerator pedal is released. ACCoverride is displayed in the informationdisplay.

Note: The system must be in Standbymode.

Press the SET+ switch or the SET-switch to select your desired cruisespeed. The speed is displayed in theinformation display and stored as the setspeed. The ACC indicator illuminates.

Note: Vehicle speed may be increasedand decreased at intervals of 5 km/h or5 mph. Smaller increases of 1 km/h or 1mph may be set by pressing the RESswitch.

Changing the set speed

Press the SET+ switch or the SET-switch to accelerate or decelerate.

Note: If the system does not react tothese changes the reason may be thatthe gap interval to the vehicle in frontprevents an increase in speed.

Setting the vehicle gap

E82311

The distance between you and the vehicledetected in front is maintained by avariable setting. There are five steps whichare represented by horizontal barsdisplayed in the information display. Onebar denotes the smallest gap and fivebars indicate the largest gap. These barsare shown empty when in standby modeand filled when in active mode.

153


If no vehicle is detected in front, then onlyyour vehicle is displayed in the informationdisplay below the bars. The system willmaintain the set speed when conditionspermit. The set gap is maintained anddisplayed.

If a vehicle is detected by the sensor, thedisplay will show another vehicle abovethe horizontal bars:

E82312

This is a follow mode, and the system willaccelerate or decelerate as necessary tomaintain the set gap.

Press switch E to decrease the gap orswitch D to increase the gap. The gapselected will be represented by thenumber of bars in the display. Therecommended gap setting is three to fivebars.

Note: The gap setting is time dependantand therefore the distance willautomatically adjust with your speed. Forexample on a gap setting of three bars,the time gap is 1.8 seconds. This will meanthat at a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph), thedistance to the vehicle in front will bemaintained at 50 metres (164 feet)

CAUTION

Use the appropriate gap setting inaccordance with local trafficregulations.

Cancelling ACC

Press either the brake or clutch pedal, orswitch B. The system will return tostandby mode but will retain the setspeed and gap in the memory. TheACCindicator will go off.

ResumingACC

Press theRES switch. TheACC indicatorilluminates and the system will resumewith the previously set speed and vehiclegap setting if conditions permit.

Switching ACCoff

Press switch A.

Note: Pressing switchA does not returnthe system to standby mode. The storedspeed is not retained.

Note: To temporarily deactivate thesystem press switch B.

Automatic deactivation

The system is dependent on various othersafety systems, for example ABS andESP. If any of these systems aremalfunctioning or reacting to anemergency, the system is automaticallydeactivated.

In the event of automatic deactivation asignal will sound and the message ACCcancel is displayed in the informationdisplay. You must then intervene andadapt your driving and speed to vehiclesin front.

An automatic deactivation can be due tothe:

154


• vehicle speed falling below 30 km/h(20 mph)

• wheels lose traction

• brake temperature is high, forexample when driving on mountainousor hilly roads

• engine speed is too low

• radar sensor is covered

• parking brake or electric parking brake(EPB) is applied.

If the engine speed drops too low, amessage is displayed in the informationdisplay instructing you to change down agear (manual transmission only). If you donot follow this recommendation then thesystem will go into automatic deactivationmode.

Note: The system will not operate if theelectronic stability programme (ESP) hasbeen manually switched off.

FORWARDALERTFUNCTION

The system assists you by warning of therisk of a collision, and reducing the severityof a collision with a vehicle in front. Thisworks by using two methods:

• You are alerted to a potential collisionso you may brake earlier than normal.

• Brake support is activated to enablefull braking effectiveness.

The collision alerts will only occur if thesystem is switched on, however the brakesupport is always on and cannot beturned off. Warnings are both visual andaudible. Brake support is activatedautomatically if necessary to reduce thecollision speed. The brake support systemonly reduces the collision speed if youbrake immediately once alerted.

WARNINGSNever wait for a collision warning.When driving you are responsiblefor maintaining the correct distance

and speed, even when the system isused.

The system will only react tovehicles in front travelling in thesame direction and will not react to

slow or stationary vehicles.

Never drive in a manner to provokethe system. The system is designedto assist in emergencies only.

The system alerts you by warning chimesand a visual warning in the informationdisplay. When forward alert is activated ared flashing warning triangle is displayedin the information display.

Note: You can deactivate the warningchimes by using the buttons on thesteering wheel. SeeAudiblewarningsand indicators (page 78).

The system does not operate in all drivingsituations and traffic, weather and roadconditions.

The radar sensor detects vehicles in frontthat are driving in the same direction asyou. If the risk of collision still increasesafter the initial warning then brake supportis activated. Brake support prepares thebrake system for rapid braking and thebrakes are applied gently, which may benoticed as a slight jerk. If the brake pedalis depressed sufficiently quickly thenbraking is implemented with full brakefunction, even if the force on the pedal islight.

155


CAUTION

Warnings may be triggered late, beabsent or triggered unnecessarily ifthe traffic situation means that the

radar sensor cannot accurately detect avehicle in front. The system uses thesame radar sensors as adaptive cruisecontrol (ACC) and therefore has the samelimitations. SeePrincipleofoperation(page 151).

Note: The system may be used with orwithout the ACC system being activated.

Switching forward alert on/off

TYREREPAIRKIT

Your vehicle may not have a spare tyre.In this case it will have an emergency tyrerepair kit that can be used to repair oneflat tyre.

The tyre repair kit is located in the sparewheel well.

General information

WARNINGSDepending on the type and extentof tyre damage, some tyres canonly be partially sealed or not sealed

at all. Loss of tyre pressure can affectvehicle handling, leading to loss of vehiclecontrol.

Do not use the tyre repair kit if thetyre has already been damaged asa result of being driven under

inflated.

Do not try to seal damage otherthan that located within the visibletread of the tyre.

Do not try to seal damage to thetyre’s sidewall.

210

Wheels and tyres

The tyre repair kit seals most tyrepunctures [with a diameter of up to sixmillimetres (1/4 inch)] to temporarilyrestore mobility.

Observe the following rules when usingthe kit:

• Drivewith caution and avoidmaking sudden steering ordrivingmanoeuvres, especially ifthe vehicle is heavily loaded or you aretowing a trailer.

• The kit will provide you with anemergency temporary repair, enablingyou to continue your journey to thenext vehicle or tyre dealer, or to drivea maximum distance of200 kilometres (125 miles).

• Do not exceed a maximumspeedof 80 km/h (50mph).

• Keep the kit out of the reach ofchildren.

• Only use the kit when the ambienttemperature is between –30°C (-22°F)and +70°C (+158°F).

Using the tyre repair kit

WARNINGSCompressed air can act as anexplosive or propellant.

Never leave the tyre repair kitunattended while in use.

CAUTION

Do not keep the compressoroperating for more than 10 minutes.

Note: Use the tyre repair kit only for thevehicle with which it was supplied.

• Park your vehicle at the roadside sothat you do not obstruct the flow oftraffic and so that you are able to usethe kit without being in danger.

• Apply the parking brake, even if youhave parked on a level road, to makesure that the vehicle will not move.

• Do not attempt to remove foreignobjects like nails or screws penetratingthe tyre.

• Leave the engine running while the kitis in use, but not if the vehicle is in anenclosed or poorly ventilated area (forexample, inside a building). In thesecircumstances, switch thecompressor on with the engine turnedoff.

• Replace the sealant bottle with a newone before the expiry date (see topof bottle) is reached.

• Inform all other users of the vehiclethat the tyre has been temporarilysealed with the tyre repair kit andmake them aware of the specialdriving conditions to be observed.

Inflating the tyre

WARNINGSCheck the sidewall of the tyre priorto inflation. If there are any cracks,bumps or similar damage, do not

attempt to inflate the tyre.

Do not stand directly beside the tyrewhile the compressor is pumping.

Watch the sidewall of the tyre. If anycracks, bumps or similar damageappear, turn off the compressor and

let the air out by means of the pressurerelief valveB. Do not continue driving withthis tyre.

211

Wheels and tyres

WARNINGSThe sealant contains natural rubberlatex. Avoid contact with skin andclothing. If this happens, rinse the

affected areas immediately with plenty ofwater and contact your doctor.

If the tyre inflation pressure does notreach 1.8 bar (26 psi) within sevenminutes, the tyre may have suffered

excessive damage, making a temporaryrepair impossible. In this case, do notcontinue driving with this tyre.

CAUTION

Screwing the bottle onto the bottleholder will pierce the seal of thebottle. Do not unscrew the bottle

from the holder as the sealant will escape.

speed and drive with caution to a placewhere it is safe for you to stop the vehicle.Recheck the tyre and its pressure. If thetyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar (19 psi)or if there are any cracks, bumps or similardamage visible, do not continue drivingwith this tyre.

Checking the tyre pressure

1. Stop the vehicle after drivingapproximately three kilometres(two miles). Check, and wherenecessary, adjust the pressure of thedamaged tyre.

2. Attach the kit and read the tyrepressure from the pressure gauge F.

3. If the pressure of the sealant-filled tyreis 1.3 bar (19 psi) or more, adjust it tothe specified pressure. SeeTechnical specifications (page219).

4. Follow the inflation procedure onceagain to top up the tyre.

5. Check the tyre pressure again fromthe pressure gauge F. If the tyrepressure is too high, deflate the tyreto the specified pressure using thepressure relief valve B.

6. Once you have inflated the tyre to itscorrect tyre pressure, move thecompressor switch H to position 0,remove the power plug G from thesocket, unscrew the hose C, fastenthe valve cap and replace theprotective cap A.

7. Leave the sealant bottleK in the bottleholder E and store the kit away safelyin its original location.

8. Drive to the nearest tyre specialist toget the damaged tyre replaced.Before the tyre is removed from therim, inform your tyre dealer that thetyre contains sealant. Renew the kitas soon as possible after it has beenused once.

Note: Remember that emergencyroadside tyre repair kits only providetemporary mobility. Regulationsconcerning tyre repair after usage of tyrerepair kit may differ from country tocountry. You should consult a tyrespecialist for advice.

WARNING

Before driving, make sure the tyreis adjusted to the recommendedinflation pressure. See Technical

specifications (page 219). Monitor thetyre pressure until the sealed tyre isreplaced.

Empty sealant bottles can be disposedof together with normal household waste.Return remains of sealant to your dealeror dispose of it in compliance with localwaste disposal regulations.

Reinforced sidewallD

When a standard tyre experiences adrastic loss of inflation pressure, the rimof the wheel brings the full weight of thevehicle to bear on the collapsed sidewalls.You can barely manoeuvre the vehicleand the tyre is destroyed.

Run flat tyres have sturdy, reinforcedsidewalls that support the rim should thetyre suffer a loss of inflation pressure.

What to do if a run flat tyre hasa puncture

Due to the run-flat properties of thesetyres, you may not notice any tyre defect.Your vehicle is equipped with a tyrepressure monitoring system that alertsyou to any drop in tyre pressure. SeeTechnical specifications (page 219).

In the event of a tyre defect:

• immediately slow down to a maximumspeed of 80 km/h (50 mph)

• avoid sudden or erratic braking andsteering manoeuvres and beespecially careful negotiating bends

• do not drive more than 80 kilometres(50 miles) after the defect is detected

• have the defective tyre replaced assoon as possible.

Replacing run flat tyres

WARNINGSMake sure that the workshop isaware that your vehicle is equippedwith special run flat tyres.

Never repair or reuse run flat tyresthat are damaged or have beendriven on run flat.

If a run flat tyre has to be replaced, havethe respective wheel rim inspected forany damage.

216

Wheels and tyres

WARNINGSDo not fit a mixture of run flat andstandard tyres. In isolated cases, astandard tyre can be temporarily

mounted on a vehicle otherwise equippedwith run flat tyres. It must be pointed outto the driver that the standard tyre has norunflat properties.

Do not fit run flat tyres on vehiclesthat were not originally fitted withthem. Please contact your dealer

for more details regarding compatibility.

Run flat tyres may be sold and mountedonly by specially trained and certified tyredealers.

TYRECARE

E70415

To make sure the front and rear tyres ofyour vehicle wear evenly and last longer,we recommend that you swap the tyresfrom front to rear and vice versa at regularintervals of between 5 000 and 10 000km (3 000 and 6 000 miles).

CAUTION

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

If you have to mount a kerb, do so slowlyand approach it with the wheels atright-angles to the kerb.

Examine the tyres regularly for cuts,foreign objects and uneven wear of thetread. Uneven wear could mean that thewheel alignment is outside specification.

Check the tyre pressures (including thespare) when cold, every two weeks.

USINGWINTER TYRES

CAUTION

Make sure that you use the correctwheel nuts for the type of wheel thewinter tyres are fitted to.

If winter tyres are used, make sure thatthe tyre pressures are correct. SeeTechnical specifications (page 219).

USINGSNOWCHAINS

WARNINGSDo not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).

Do not use snow chains onsnow-free roads.

Do not fit snow chains to 235/45 R17, 235/40 R 18 or T125/90 R 16tyres.

CAUTION

If your vehicle is fitted with wheeltrims, remove them before fittingsnow chains.

Note: The ABS will continue to operatenormally.

Only use small link snow chains.

Only use snow chains on the front wheels.

TYREPRESSUREMONITORINGSYSTEM

WARNINGSThe system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to regularly checkthe tyre pressures.

The system will only provide a lowtyre pressure warning. It will notinflate the tyres.

The system may take longer todetect low pressure in the tyres ifyou have fitted snow chains.

Do not drive on significantlyunder-inflated tyres. This may causethe tyres to overheat and fail.

Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency,tyre tread life and may also affect yourability to drive the vehicle safely.

CAUTIONSDo not bend or damage the valveswhen you are inflating the tyres.

Have tyres installed by properlytrained technicians.

The system monitors the pressure in thetyres using sensors located on the wheelsand a receiver located in your vehicle.When the system detects low pressurein the tyres, a warning message isdisplayed in the information display. SeeInformationmessages (page 92).

If a low pressure warning message isdisplayed in the information display, checkthe tyre pressures as soon as possibleand inflate them to the recommendedpressure. See Technicalspecifications (page 219). If thishappens frequently, have the causedetermined and rectified as soon aspossible.

Checking the tyre pressures

Note: If the tyre pressures are greaterthan or equal to 3.3 bar (48 lbf/in²), youwill see the + symbol below the pressurevalue. The system only measurespressure up to 3.3 bar (48 lbf/in²). The +symbol indicates that the tyre pressuresmay be higher.

Note: Type 3 instrument clusters have aslightly different menu structure. SelectSettings first to access Information.
