The air currently in the passengercompartmentwill 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 thewindows 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

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

dust or in enclosed spaces.

WARNINGSThe parking heater should beswitched on for approximately 10minutes at least once a month all

year round. This prevents thewater pumpand heater motor from seizing.

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 fumesmay come fromunder the sides of the vehicle. This isnormal.

Note: On vehicles with manual climatecontrol the heating of the vehicle interioris dependent on the temperature, airdistribution and blower control settings.

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.

To prevent the battery from discharging:

Starting the engine

STARTINGAPETROLENGINE - E85

For general information on starting apetrol engine. See Starting a petrolengine (page 118).

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 122). 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.

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 areturnedoff 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.

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, andafter youhave switchedthe engine off. This is a potential firehazard.

CAUTION

Avoid running out of fuel.

Note: After you have switched yourengine off the fans may continue to runfor a short period of time.

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.

121

Starting the engine

If you drive only short distances or yourjourneys contain frequent stopping andstarting, where there is increasedacceleration and deceleration, occasionaltrips with the following conditions couldassist the regeneration process:

• Drive your vehicle at a constant speed,preferably on a main road ormotorway, for up to 20 minutes.

• Avoid prolonged idling and alwaysobserve speed limits and roadconditions.

• Do not switch off the ignition.

• Use a lower gear than normal tomaintain a higher engine speedduringthis 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 youdisconnect thepowercable from the engine heaterconnector before driving away.

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

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.

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.

Tyre repair kit location

All except Focus ST and FocusRS

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.

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:

202

Wheels and tyres

• 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 amaximumspeedof 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 screwspenetratingthe 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 onwith 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 drivingwiththis tyre.

The 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 tyremay have suffered

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

203

16. Make sure the kit, the bottle lid andthe orange cap are stored safely, butstill easily accessible in the vehicle.The kit will be required again whenyou check the tyre pressure.

17. Immediately drive approximatelythree kilometres (two miles) so thatthe sealant can seal the damagedarea.

Note:When pumping in the sealantthrough the tyre valve, the pressure mayrise up to 6 bar (87 psi) but will drop againafter about 30 seconds.

WARNING

If you experience heavy vibrations,unsteady steering behaviour ornoises while driving, reduce your

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 (page207).

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.

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. SeeTechnicalspecifications (page 207).

USINGSNOWCHAINS

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

Do not use snow chains onsnow-free roads.

Only fit snow chains to specifiedtyres. See Technicalspecifications (page 207).

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 snowchains on the frontwheels.

Vehicleswith stability control(ESP)

Vehicles with stability control (ESP) mayexhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics which can be avoided byswitching the system off. See Usingstability control (page 137).

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.

Do not drive on significantlyunder-inflated tyres. Thismay 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 Deflation Detection System will alertyou if there is a change of air pressure inany tyre. It does this by using the ABSsensors to detect the rollingcircumference of the wheels. When thecircumference changes, this indicates lowpressure in a tyre, a warning message isdisplayed in the information display andthemessage indicator will illuminate. SeeInformationmessages (page 87).

206

Wheels and tyres

Apart from a too low tyre pressure or adamaged tyre, the following situations canaffect the rolling circumference:• Vehicle load is uneven.

• When using a trailer or travelling upand down an incline.

• Using snow chains.

• Driving on soft surfaces such as snowor mud.

Note: The system will still functioncorrectly, but there may be an increaseddetection time.

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 207).

If this happens frequently, have the causedetermined and rectified as soon aspossible.

System reset

Note:Do not reset the systemwhen thevehicle is moving.

Note: You should reset the systemfollowing any adjustment to the tyrepressures or any changing of tyres.

Note: Turn the ignition on.
