INSTRUCTION HANDBOOK

Thank you for choosing Ford. We recommend that you read this instruction handbook carefully to better understand your vehicle

features. The better you understand, the better you will feel safe and enjoy driving it.Note The instruction handbook describes the product features and options available in the whole range, sometimes even before

they are actually available. Options not installed on your vehicle can be actually described.

Note Use and handle your vehicle always complying with all regulations and laws in force.

Note Hand the instruction handbook over to the new owner if the vehicle is sold. Indeed, it is an integral part of it.

DATA RECORDING

A large number of electronic components of your vehicle contain data storage modules temporarily or permanently storing

technical data about the condition of the vehicle, events and errors. In general, this technical information documents the conditionof 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 of wheel revolutions/rotational speed, deceleration,lateral acceleration).

• Malfunction and defects in important system components (e.g. lighting and brake system).

• Vehicle reactions in particular driving situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag, activation of the stability regulation system).

• Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature).

These data are exclusively technical and help identification and correction of errors as well as optimisation of vehicle functions.Motion profiles indicating travelled routes cannot be created with these data.

If services are used (e.g. repair works, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance), employees of the service network (including manufacturers) are able to read out this technical information from the event and error data storage modules usingspecial diagnostic devices. If required, you will receive further information. After an error has been corrected, these data aredeleted from the error storage module or they are constantly overwritten. When using the vehicle, s ituations may occur in whichthese technical data related to other information (accident report, damages on the vehicle, witness statements etc.) may beassociated with a specific person - possibly, with the assistance of an expert. Additional functions contractually agreed upon with theclient (e.g. vehicle location in emergency cases) allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.

Y O U R C A R TRIP COMPUTER

General information

The “Trip computer” is used to displayinformation on car operation when the

key is turned to MAR-ON. Thisfunction is composed of separate trips,called “Trip A” and “Trip B” which canmonitor the entire mission (journey)in a reciprocally independent manner.

Both functions can be reset(reset means start of a new journey).

“Trip A” is used to display the figuresrelating to:

– Range

– Distance A

– Average consumption A

– Current consumption

– Average speed A

– Travel time A (driving time)

– Reset Trip A

“Trip B” shall be used to displaythe figures relating to:

– Distance B

– Average consumption B

– Average speed B

– Trip time B (driving time).

– Reset trip B

Note “Trip B” may be excluded.“Range” and “Instant consumption”parameters cannot be reset.

Values displayed

Range

This value shows the distance thatthe car can still cover before needingfuel, assuming that driving conditionsare kept unvaried. The display willshow the reading “----” when thefollowing events take place:

– range value lower than 50 km(or 30 mi)

– car parked with engine running fora long period.

IMPORTANT The range can be affectedby several factors: driving style(see “Driving style” in the “Startingand driving” section), type of route(motorway, towns and cities, mountainroads, etc.), conditions of use (load,tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning musttherefore take the above into account.

Distance travelled

This value shows the distance coveredfrom the start of the new journey.

Average consumption

This value shows the approximateaverage fuel consumption fromthe start of the new journey.

Instantaneous consumption

This indicates the fuel consumption.The value is constantly updated.The message “----” will appear onthe display if the car is parked withthe engine running.

HEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING

The correct aiming of the headlightsis important for the comfort and safetyof not only the driver but all other road

users. This is also covered by a specificrule of the highway code.

The headlights must be correctly aimedto guarantee the best visibilityconditions for all drivers while travellingwith headlights on.

Contact a Ford Dealership to havethe headlights properly adjusted.

Check beam aiming every time the loador its distribution changes.

For safety reasons, thebonnet must always be

properly closed while the car istravelling. Make sure that thebonnet is properly closed and thatthe lock is engaged. If you discover

that the bonnet is not perfectly closed during travel, stopimmediately and close the bonnetin the correct manner.

BEAM ADJUSTMENT fig. 49

The car is fitted with electricadjustment of the beams, operating withignition key at MAR-ON and dippedheadlights on.

When the car is loaded, it slopesbackwards. This means the headlightbeam rises.

In that case, it is necessary to performbeams adjustment with buttons A and B.

The display supplies a visual indicationof positions.

The driver can feel that the ABS systemhas come into action because the brakepedal pulsates slightly and the systemgets noisier: it means that the car speedshould be altered to suit the type of roadsurface.

This system, an integral part of thebraking system, which prevents thewheels from locking when braking,makes the most of road grip and givesthe best control when emergency

braking under difficulty road conditions.The EBD system (Electronic BrakingForce Distribution) completes thesystem allowing the brake force tobe distributed between the front andrear wheels.

IMPORTANT To get the maximumefficiency of the braking system,a bedding-in period of about 500 kmis needed: during this period it is betterto avoid sharp, repeated and prolongedbraking.

When the ABS cuts in and you feel the brake pedal

pulsating, do not raise your foot,but keep it pressed; in doing so youwill stop in the shortest amountof space possible depending onthe current road conditions.

WARNING

The ABS system exploitsthe tyre-road grip at best,

but it cannot improve it. Therefore,you should take great care whendriving on slippery surfaces withouttaking unnecessary risks.

FAILURE WARNINGS

ABS failure

This is indicated by the turning on of warning light> on the instrumentpanel together with the dedicatedmessage on the multifunction display

(where provided), (see section“Warning lights and messages”).

In this case, the braking system will stillbe effective, although without the extracapacity offered by the ABS system.Drive carefully to the nearest FordDealership to have the system checked.

If warning lightx only lights up on the instrument

panel, (with a message on thereconfigurable multifunctiondisplay, where provided),immediately stop the car

and contact the nearest Ford Dealership. Leakage of hydraulicfluid from the braking system willcompromise the operation of thebraking system, whether it is ofthe conventional type or with ABS.

Stability Program)(where provided)

This is an electronic system controllingcar stability in the event of tyre grip

loss, helping to maintain directionalcontrol.

The ESP system is therefore particularlyuseful when grip conditions of roadsurfaces change.

With the ESP, the car is providedwith ASR (traction control withinterventions on brakes and engine),HILL HOLDER (device for startingon gradients without using the brakes),MSR (control of engine braking torquewhen shifting gear down) and HBA(automatic increase of braking pressurein the case of emergency braking).

SYSTEM INTERVENTION

It is signalled by the blinking of thewarning light I on the instrumentpanel, to inform the driver that the caris in critical stability and grip conditions.

EBD failure is indicated by the turningon of warning lights> andx on theinstrument panel together with thededicated message on thereconfigurable multifunction display, seesection “Warning lights and messages”.

In this case, the rear wheels maysuddenly lock and the vehicle mayswerve when braking sharply. Drivecarefully to the nearest Ford Dealershipto have the system checked.

Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your vehicle

is fitted with an ESP system.Your driving style must alwaysbe suited to the road conditions,visibility and traffic.The driver is ultimately responsiblefor road safety.

WARNING

The ESP system comes on automaticallywhen the vehicle is started and cannotbe turned off.

Failure warnings

In the event of a failure, the ESP systemwill be automatically switched off andwarning light I will appear on theinstrument panel along with a messageon the reconfigurable multifunctiondisplay (where provided). The LEDon the ASR OFF button will light up.Contact Ford Dealership.

(where provided)

It is integral to the ESP system.It automatically activates withthe following conditions:

❒ uphill: car at a standstill on a road

with a gradient higher than 2%, enginerunning, clutch and brake pedalpressed, gearbox in neutral orengaged gear other than reverse.

❒ downhill: car at a standstill on a roadwith a gradient higher than 2%, enginerunning, clutch and brake pedalpressed and reverse gear engaged.

When setting off the ESP system controlunit will keep brake force on wheelsuntil the torque necessary for startingis reached, or in any case for max.2 seconds in order to pass easily fromthe brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

When two seconds have elapsed,without starting, the system isautomatically deactivated, graduallyreleasing the braking pressure. Duringthis release stage, the typical mechanicalbrake release noise can be heard,indicating that the car is about to move.

A system failure is indicated by theturning on of warning light Ion the instrument panel together withthe dedicated message on themultifunction display (where provided),see section “Warning lights and

messages”.

If the space-saver wheel isused, the ESP system keeps

operating. Always remember thatthe space-saver wheel, being smaller than the original wheel, provides less grip.

For the correct operation of the

ESP and ASR systems, the tyresmust absolutely be the same makeand type on all wheels, in perfectconditions and, above all, of thetype, make and size specified.

WARNING

The Hill Holder systemis not a parking brake,

therefore do not leave the car without activating the handbrake,switching off the engine, and engaging first gear.

This is an integral part of the ASRsystem that, in the event of a suddengear downshifting, cuts in and providestorque to the engine thus preventing

excessive drive wheel drive which,especially in poor grip conditions,can lead to loss of stability.

fig. 50

The ASR can work only when theignition key is on MAR-ON.

Whilst driving, the ASR can be switchedoff and subsequently switched on again

by pressing the C ASR OFF button.When the system is active, a messageon the reconfigurable multifunctiondisplay (where provided) is displayed.

When the system is not active, the LEDon the button ASR OFF turns on anda message on the reconfigurablemultifunction display (where provided)is displayed. When the ASR is switchedoff whilst driving, the next time the caris started up the ASR is automaticallyswitched on by the system.

When travelling on snowy roads withsnow chains, it may be helpful to turnthe ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,slipping of the drive wheels whenmoving off makes it possible to obtainbetter traction.

(Antislip Regulation)(where provided)

This is integral to the ESP system andautomatically intervenes if one or bothdrive wheels slip, helping the driverto control the car.

The action of the ASR systemis particularly helpful in the followingcircumstances:

❒ slipping of the inner wheelwhen cornering due to the effectof dynamic load changesor excessive acceleration;

❒ too much power transmittedto the wheels also in relation tothe conditions of the road surface;

❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or icysurfaces;

❒ in the event of loss of grip on a wetsurface.

The Reset procedure must be carriedout:

❒ whenever the tyre pressure ismodified;

❒ when even only one tyre is changed;

❒ when tyres are rotated/inverted;

❒ when the space-saver wheel is fitted.

Before carrying out the Reset, inflatethe tyres to the rated pressure values

specified in the inflation pressure table(see “Wheels” paragraph in the“Technical specifications”).

If Reset is not carried out, in all abovecases, the warning lightnmay givefalse indications on one or more tyres.

IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,even in small amounts or in anemergency, as this would damagethe catalytic converter beyond repair.

DIESEL ENGINES

Operation at low temperaturesIf the outside temperature is very low,diesel thickens due to the formationof paraffin clots with consequent defectiveoperation of the fuel supply system.

In order to avoid these problems,different types of diesel fuel aredistributed according to the season:summer type, winter type and arctictype (cold/mountain areas).

When using or parking the vehiclefor a long time in the mountains or coldareas, it is advisable to refuel usinglocally available diesel fuel.

In this case, it is also advisable to keepthe tank over 50% full.

in accordance with EN590European specifications.

The use of other products or mixturesmay damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate

the warranty, due to the damagecaused. If you accidentally introduceother types of fuel into the tank,do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has run, evenfor a very short time, you will need to have the entire fuel systememptied in addition to the tank.

REFUELLING CAPACITYTo fill the tank completely, top-up twiceafter the first click of the fuel deliverygun. Further top-ups could causefailures in the fuel feeding system.

The Diesel Particulate Filter isa mechanical filter, integral withthe exhaust system, that physicallytraps particulates present inthe exhaust gases of diesel engines.

The diesel particulate filter has beenadopted to eliminate almost allparticulates in compliance with current/future legal regulations.

During normal use of the vehicle,the engine control unit records a setof data (e.g.: travel time, type of route,temperatures, etc.) and it will thencalculate how much particulate hasbeen trapped by the filter.

Since this filter physically trapsparticulate, it should be regenerated(cleaned) at regular intervals by burningcarbon particles.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FORUSING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for complyingwith, and ensuring that all the otheroccupants of the car also comply with,

the local laws in force in relation to theuse of the seat belts. Always fasten theseat belts before setting off. Seat beltsare also to be worn by pregnantwomen: the risk of injury in the case of impact is greatly reduced for them andthe unborn child if they are wearing aseat belt. Pregnant women mustposition the lower part of the belt verylow down so that it passes over thepelvis and under the abdomen (asindicated in fig. 2).

yFord Dealership to have it replaced after it has been deployed.

Operations which lead toimpacts, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of six

hours) in the area around the pretensioner may damage or deploy it. Contact a Ford Dealership should intervention be necessary.

FRONT AIRBAGS

The front airbags (for driver andpassenger) have been designed toprotect the passengers sitting on thefront seats in the event of head-oncrashes of medium-high severity, byplacing the bag between the person andthe steering wheel or dashboard.Therefore non-activation in other typesof collisions (side collisions, rear shunts,roll-overs, etc.) is not a systemmalfunction.

An electronic control unit will make thebag inflate in the event of a frontalimpact.

The bag will inflate instantaneouslyplacing itself between the frontoccupants body and the structureswhich could cause injury. It will deflateimmediately afterwards.

Driver and passenger front airbags arenot a replacement of, but

complementary to the seat belts, whichyou are always recommended to wear,as specified by law in Europe and mostnon-European countries.

rules to be followed when carryingchildren:

❒ Install the child restraint systems onthe rear seat, which is the most

protected position in the event of anaccident.

❒ If the passenger’s airbag isdeactivated, always check the amberwarning light “ OFF (amber) on thedashboard in the dedicated panel tomake sure that it has actually beendeactivated.

❒ Carefully follow the instructionssupplied with the child restraint

system which are mandatory by law.Keep the instructions in the car alongwith the other documents and thishandbook. Do not use second-handchild restraint systems withoutinstructions.

Front airbags may not activate in thefollowing situations:

❒ in collisions against highly deformableobjects not affecting the car frontsurface (e.g. bumper collision againstguard rail, etc.);

❒ car wedging under other vehicles orprotective barriers (e.g. trucks orguard rails).

Failure to activate in the conditionsdescribed above is due to the fact thatthey may not provide any additionalprotection compared with seat belts, sotheir activation would be inappropriate.In these cases, non-deployment doesnot indicate a system malfunction.The front driver and passenger airbagsare designed and calibrated to bestprotect front-seat passengers wearingseat belts. The volume of the frontairbags at max. inflation fills most of thespace between the steering wheel andthe driver and between the dashboard

and the passenger.

Do not apply stickers or other objects on the

steering wheel, on the dashboard inthe passenger side airbag area, onthe side upholstery on the roof and on the seats.Never put objects (e.g. mobile

phones) on the passenger’s sidedashboard since they could interfere with correct inflation of the airbag and also cause seriousinjury to the passengers.

WARNING

The airbags are not deployed in theevent of minor front collisions (forwhich the restraining action of the seatbelts is sufficient).Safety belts must always be used. In theevent of frontal crash they ensure thecorrect positioning of the occupant.

These accessories lower air penetrationand adversely affect consumption levels.When transporting particularly large

objects, use a trailer if possible.

Electrical devices

Use electrical devices only for theamount of time needed. The heatedrear window, additional headlights,windscreen wipers and heater fanneed a considerable amount of energy,therefore a higher requirement of current involves an increase of fuelconsumption (up to +25% inthe urban cycle).

Climate control system

Climate control leads to higher fuelconsumption (on average up to +20%).If the temperature outside permits,try and use the air vents.

Devices for aerodynamic control

The use of non-certified devices foraerodynamic control may adverselyaffect air drag and consumption levels.

under these conditions the enginewarms up much more slowly, increasingelectrical consumption and emissions.

It is therefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding highspeeds: in this way the engine willwarm up more quickly.

Unnecessary actions

Avoid accelerating when stopped attraffic lights or before switching offthe engine. This and also doubledeclutching is absolutely pointless

on modern cars and also increasesconsumption and pollution.

Gear selection

As soon as the conditions of the trafficand road allow, use a higher gear.Using a low gear for faster accelerationwill increase consumption.

In the same way improper use of a highgear increases consumption, emissions

and engine wear.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Car maintenance

Have checks and adjustments carriedout in accordance with the “ScheduledServicing Plan”.

Tyres

Check the pressure of the tyres routinelyat an interval of no more than 4 weeks:

if the pressure is too low, consumptionlevels increase as resistance to rollingis higher.

Unnecessary loads

Do not travel with an overloaded boot.The weight of the car (especially whendriving in town) and its ride greatlyaffects consumption and stability.

If the battery is flat, it is possible

to start the engine using a boosterbattery with the same capacity ora little higher than the flat one.

Never use a fastbattery-charger to startthe engine as this could damage the electronic

systems of your car, particularly theignition and fuel supply control units.

This procedure must be performed by qualified

personnel as incorrect actions may cause high-intensity electricaldischarge. Furthermore, batteryfluid is poisonous and corrosive:avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Keep naked flames away fromthe battery. No smoking. Do notcause sparks.

The driving features of the car may change when a space-saver wheelis fitted. Avoid sudden accelerationand braking, sudden steering and fast cornering. The total life ofa space-saver wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it must bereplaced by another wheel of the

same type. Never attempt to fita conventional tyre on a rimdesigned for use as a space-saver wheel. Have the punctured wheelrepaired and replaced as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver wheels should never be used together. Do not apply grease tothe bolt threads before assembly:they might spontaneously unscrew.

Snow chains cannot befitted to the space-saver wheel.So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed,a rear wheel should be fitted tothe front of the car and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to therear. This way with two standard

drive wheels at the front, snow chains can be fitted to themto solve an emergency.

The jack supplied with the vehiclemust be used only to changea wheel in an emergency.

If after buying the car, you want toinstall electric accessories which requirepermanent electric supply (anti-theftsystem, etc.) contact your FordDealership whose qualified personnel,in addition to suggesting the mostsuitable devices, will evaluate the overallelectric absorption, checking whetherthe car’s electric system is capable of withstanding the load required, or

whether it should be integrated witha more powerful battery.

Since these devices continue absorbingenergy even when the ignition key is off,they gradually run down the battery.

OF YOUR BATTERY

To avoid draining your battery andmake it last longer, observe thefollowing instructions:

❒ when you park the car, ensure thedoors, tailgate and bonnet are closedproperly, to prevent any lightswitching-on inside the passenger’scompartment;

❒ the internal roof lights must be off.The car is however provided with anautomatic system for switching-off internal lights;

❒ do not keep accessories (e.g. soundsystem, hazard warning lights, etc...)switched on for a long time when theengine is not running;

❒ before performing any operation onthe electrical system, disconnect the

negative battery cable;

❒ battery terminals shall always beperfectly tightened.

Batteries contain substancesthat can be very dangerousfor the environment. It isadvisable to have the

battery changed by a Ford Dealershipwhere it will be disposed of according to the law.

If the vehicle must remainunused for a long time

at very low temperature, removethe battery and carry it to a warm place, to avoid freezing.

A few simple precautions can reducethe possibility of damage to the blades:

❒ make sure that the rubber part is notstuck to the windscreen at sub-zerotemperatures. Use a de-icing productto release it if required;

❒ remove any snow from the glass:in addition to protecting the blades,this prevents effort on the motor

and overheating;❒ do not operate the windscreen and

the rear screen wipers on dry glass.

Changing the windscreenwiper blades fig. 6

Proceed as follows:

❒ lift the arm B of the wiper andposition the blade C so that it formsan angle of 90° with the arm itself;

❒ press the button A and extract from

the arm B the brush C;❒ insert the new blade making sure

it is locked.

Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious hazard,

because visibility is reduced in bad weather.

Standard maintenance of paintwork consists in washing the vehicle;its frequency depends on the conditionsand environment where the vehicleis used. For example, in highly pollutedareas, or if the roads are sprayed withsalt, it is advisable to wash the carmore frequently.

To correctly wash the vehicle, proceed

as follows:❒ remove the aerial from the roof

Dry the less visible parts particularlycarefully, such as the door frames,bonnet and the headlight frames,where water may stagnate more easily.The car should not be taken to a closedarea immediately, but left in the openso that residual water can evaporate.

Do not wash the car after it has beenleft in the sun or with the bonnet hot:this may alter the shine of thepaintwork.

For the general terms of this warranty,

refer to the Warranty Booklet.

ADVICE FOR PRESERVINGTHE BODYWORK

Paint

Paintwork does not only servean aesthetic purpose, but also protectsthe underlying sheet metal.

Touch-up abrasions and scratchesimmediately to prevent the formationof rust. Only use genuine spare paintproducts for touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint identification plate” in the“Technical Specifications” chapter).

Detergents cause water pollution. The vehicle should be washed in areas equipped for collecting and purifying

the liquid used in the washing process.

to prevent damage to it if the caris washed in an automatic system;

❒ if high pressure jets or cleanersare used to wash the vehicle, hold atleast 40 cm away from the bodywork to avoid damage or alteration.It should be remembered thatthe build up of water can damagethe car over a period of time;

❒ wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;

❒ wipe a sponge with a slightlysoapy solution over the bodywork,frequently rinsing the sponge;

❒ rinse well with water and dry witha jet of air or a chamois leather.

Exterior plastic parts must be cleanedin the same way as the rest of the car.

Where possible, do not park undertrees; the resinous substance that manyspecies release give the paint a dullappearance and increase the possibilityof triggering rusting processes.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be

washed off immediately and thoroughlyas the acid they contain is particularlyaggressive.

❒ combined consumption:the weighting is around 37% urbancycle and 63% extra-urban cycle.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The fuel consumption figures givenin the table below are determined onthe basis of the type-approval tests setdown by relevant European Directives.

The procedures below are followed formeasuring consumption:

❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed

by driving that simulates urban useof the vehicle;

IMPORTANT The type of route, trafficsituations, weather conditions, drivingstyle, general conditions of the car, trimlevel/equipment/accessories, load,climate control system, roof rack, othersituations that affect air drag may leadto different fuel consumption levels thanthose measured.
