E72330
27
Occupant protection
WARNINGSRepairs to either of the frontseat covers, the sensors
attached to the seats as well as tothe roof lining should only be carriedout by properly trained technicians.Injuries may result if the side airbagsare triggered inadvertently.
Do not block, obstruct or coverthe airbag because it may
prevent proper deployment. Do notpoke any sharp objects into the areaswhere airbags are fitted. This coulddamage the airbags.
Do not use any accessory seatcovers that are not specifically
designed for seats with side airbags.These seat covers must be fitted byproperly trained technicians.
E66553
WARNINGAlways wear the seat belt andkeep sufficient distance
between the driver and the steeringwheel. Only when the seat belt isused properly, can it hold the bodyin a position which allows the airbagto achieve its optimum effect. Thereis a risk of injury when the airbagdeploys.
The seat and back must be setcorrectly for the airbags to beoptimally effective. See Sitting inthe correct position (page 138).
This is the ideal seating position forthe driver and front passenger andhelps reduce the risk of injury fromsitting too close to an inflating airbag.
E72325
The front airbags activate duringsignificant collisions which areeither frontal or up to 30degrees from the left or the right.The airbags inflate within a fewthousandths of a second. They willdeflate on contact with the frontoccupants thus cushioning forwardbody movement.
28
Occupant protection
E72326
During minor collisions as well asoverturns and rear or side collisions,the front airbag system will not beactivated.
E78294
WARNINGSRepairs to the steering wheel,steering column and airbag
system should be carried out byproperly trained technicians.
Always keep the areas in frontof the airbags free. Never affix
anything to or over these areas.
These areas should only be wipedwith a damp cloth, never with a wetcloth.
Side air bags
E72328
A label on the seatback indicates thatside airbags are fitted. The sideairbags are fitted on the side of theseatbacks of the front seats. In caseof a severe lateral collision, the airbagon the side affected by the collisionwill be inflated.
The airbag will inflate between thedoor panel and occupant. Once theoccupant’s body contacts the airbag,the propellant escapes, therebycushioning the impact.
The side airbags are not activatedupon minor lateral collisions nor uponfront or rear impacts.
29
Occupant protection
Curtain air bags
E72329
Moulded badges in the A- andB-piller trims indicate that curtain airbags are fitted. The curtain airbagsare fitted over the front and rear sidewindows inside the roof lining. In caseof a severe lateral collision, the air bagon the side affected by the collisionwill be inflated.
The curtain air bags are not activatedupon minor lateral collisions nor uponfront or rear impacts.
Seat belts

PRINCIPLE OFOPERATION
Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of thewindscreen free from obstruction(snow, leaves etc.) to allow theclimate control system to functioneffectively.
Recirculated air
CAUTIONWe recommend that you do notuse recirculated air for more than
30 minutes.
The air currently in the passengercompartment will be recirculated.Outside air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends onthe temperature of the enginecoolant.
Air conditioning
Note: The air conditioning operatesonly when the temperature is above4ºC.
Note: If you use the air conditioning,the fuel consumption of your vehiclewill be higher.
Air is directed through the coolantheat exchanger where it is cooled.Humidity is extracted from the air tohelp keep the windows free of mist.The resulting condensation isdirected to the outside of the vehicleand it is therefore normal if you seea small pool of water under yourvehicle.

AUXILIARY HEATER
Programmable auxiliaryheater
WARNINGSThe programmable auxiliaryheater must not be operated in
enclosed spaces, at filling stations ornear sources of combustible vapoursor dust.
The programmable auxiliaryheater should be switched on
for approximately 10 minutes at leastonce a month all year round. Thisprevents the water pump and heatermotor from seizing.
To avoid corrosion, the coolantin your vehicle should contain at
least 10 % antifreeze all year round.
Note: The programmable auxiliaryheater will only operate if there is atleast 7.5 litres of fuel in the fuel tank.
Note: The heating depends on theoutside air temperature.
Note: It is possible that when theprogrammable auxiliary heater isactivated, exhaust fumes may comefrom under the sides of the vehicle.This is normal.
Note: On vehicles with manualclimate control the heating of thevehicle interior is dependent on thetemperature, air distribution andblower control settings.
133
Climate control
The programmable auxiliary heateroperates independently of the vehicleheater by heating the engine’scoolant circuit. It is fed from thevehicle fuel tank.
Used properly, the programmableauxiliary heater provides the followingbenefits:• It preheats the interior of the
vehicle.• It keeps the windows clear of ice
in the event of frost and preventscondensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows theengine to reach operatingtemperature sooner.
The programmable auxiliary heatermay also be used while the vehicle isin motion to help the vehicle heaterand warm up the interior morequickly.
To prevent the battery fromdischarging:• Once the programmable auxiliary
heater has performed one heatingcycle, the next programmedheater time will only be carried outif the vehicle’s engine has beenstarted in between.
• After a heating cycle, the vehicleshould be driven for at least theperiod of the heating cycle.
Programming the auxiliaryheater
The auxiliary heater is programmedusing the information display. SeeInformation displays (page 104).
Auxiliary heater
The diesel auxiliary heater (PTCelectrical heater) aids in warming theengine and the interior compartmenton vehicles with diesel engines. It isautomatically switched on or offdepending on the outsidetemperature, the coolanttemperature and the alternator load.
Fuel operated heater
The fuel operated heater aids inwarming the engine and the interiorcompartment on vehicles with apetrol or diesel engine. It isautomatically switched on or offdepending on the outsidetemperature and the coolanttemperature, unless it has beendeactivated by the driver.
When the fuel operated heater isoperating, a message appears in theinformation display.

If the engine does not start within 15seconds, wait for a short period andrepeat the procedure.
If the engine does not start afterthree attempts wait 10 seconds andfollow the Flooded engineprocedure.
If starting difficulty is experienced attemperatures below -25ºC, depressthe accelerator pedal ¼ to ½ of itstravel to assist starting.
Flooded engine
Depress the clutch pedal fully.
Slowly depress the accelerator fully,hold it in this position and start theengine.
If the engine does not start repeatthe Cold/hot engine procedure.
Vehicles with a Flexfuelengine
Starting at low ambienttemperatures
When the temperature is expectedto be lower than –15°C and thevehicle is filled with bio ethanol E 85,an engine block heater should beused to facilitate starting.
If the temperature is expected toremain below –15°C, it isrecommended that you increase theproportion of petrol in the tank bytopping up with 95 octane unleadedpetrol if the tank is not already full.About 10 litres of petrol will reducethe proportion of bio ethanol E 85 ina ¾ full tank from 85% to 70%.
If, at very low temperatures, the tankis filled with only bio ethanol E 85 andthere is no way to use an engineblock heater, you may experiencedifficulties starting the engine.
If the engine fails to start, proceed asfollows:1. Depress the accelerator pedal 1/3
to 1/2 of its travel.2. Turn the ignition key to position
III.3. Release the ignition key as soon
as the engine has started andrelease the accelerator pedalgradually as the engine speedincreases.
4. If the engine fails to start, depressthe accelerator pedal fully andrepeat steps 2 and 3.
During starting, the fuel injectors areturned off as long as the acceleratorpedal is depressed. This can be usedto drain excessive fuel from theintake manifold after severalunsuccessful starting attempts.
If the battery has been disconnectedor after the fuel type has beenchanged, the idle speed may beirregular. This will improve after 10 to30 seconds.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGSTo avoid fuel spillage that couldbe hazardous to other road
users, always stop refuelling after thefuel nozzle stops the second time.Additional fuel will fill the expansionspace in the fuel tank which couldlead to fuel overflowing.
The fuel system is underpressure. There is a risk of injury
if the fuel system is leaking. Do notuse any kind of flames or heat nearthe fuel system.
FUEL QUALITY
Use only high quality fuel without anysupplemental additives or otherengine treatments.
Vehicles with a petrolengine
Use unleaded petrol according tospecification EN 228 or equivalentwith minimum 95 octane. Leadedfuel or fuel/additives containing othermetallic compounds (e.g.manganese-based) may damagethe emission system.
Vehicles with a Flexfuelengine
WARNINGDo not modify the fuel systemconfiguration or the
components in the system. Do notreplace the fuel system or thecomponents with parts not speciallydesigned to be used with bio ethanol.Ford has specially designedmaterials, components and systemsfor ethanol−fuelled vehicles, withprecisely calibrated systems forefficient operation. The use of othercomponents and materials cancreate an untested configurationwhich could result in fire, personalinjury or engine damage.
Your Flexifuel vehicle can beoperated on unleaded petrolaccording to specification EN 228 orequivalent with minimum 95octane or bio ethanol E 85. It canalso be operated on any mixture ofthe two. Methanol must not be usedinstead of bio ethanol E 85. Thecorrect fuel type for your vehicle isshown on a decal on the inside of thefuel filler flap.
The vehicle will operate well oncommercial quality 95 octaneunleaded petrol, but only high qualitybio ethanol E 85 offers the sameprotection and performance.
157
Fuel and refuelling
Long-term storage
Due to small amounts of corrosiveimpurities that may be found in thebio ethanol E 85, it is recommendedthat you fill the tank with only 95octane unleaded petrol prior tolong-term storage of your Flexifuelvehicle.
Vehicles with a dieselengine
Use diesel fuel according tospecification EN 590 or equivalent.Do not mix it with any oil, petrol orother liquids. Diesel fuels whichcontain a mix of up to 5 % RME (biodiesel) are acceptable.
Prolonged use of supplementaladditives to prevent fuel waxing is notrecommended. Do not addkerosene, paraffin or petrol to dieselfuels.

General information
E78310
The Durashift CVT transmission inyour vehicle is an electronicallycontrolled transmission. All ratios arecontinuously variable.
This transmission also allows you tochange gear manually (similar to amanual transmission).
The shifting behaviour of the DurashiftCVT can be adjusted to suit yourpersonal preferences and drivingstyle. See Personalised settings(page 108).
Selector lever
E78311
When moving the selector lever intoP or R, you must first depress thebutton on the front of the selectorlever grip.
When disengaging from P, turn theignition key to position II and depressthe brake pedal.

Manual shifting mode
Note: The transmission will performyour manual gear selection when thevehicle road speed and enginespeed allow.
Manually selecting gears with theautomatic transmission is similar toshifting with a manual transmission.On the 4-speed transmission, thereare four forward gears available andon the Durashift CVT transmission,there are seven forward gearsavailable.
This option can be selected at anytime. Move the selector lever to D,and then guide it to the right.
E78316
WARNINGDo not hold the selector leverpermanently in – or +.
To shift down, gently push theselector lever forwards (–). To shiftup, pull it backwards (+).
Gears can be skipped by moving theselector lever repeatedly at shortintervals.
E78317
The requested gear will appear inplace of the – or + symbols in theinformation display, depending onwhether a lower or higher gear hasbeen selected. Once thetransmission has engaged therequested gear, it will appear in thecentral position.
Only logical gear selections arepossible.
Manual mode also provides akickdown function. See Kickdown.
To avoid engine stall, thetransmission will automaticallydownshift when the vehicle speed istoo low.

ENGINE OIL CHECK
WARNINGDo not use oil additives or otherengine treatments. They are
unnecessary and could, undercertain conditions, lead to enginedamage which is not covered byFord Warranty.
The oil consumption of new enginesreaches the normal value only afterapproximately 5 000 km (3 000miles).
Make sure the vehicle is standing onlevel ground. Check the engine oilbefore starting the engine. If theengine was running, switch it off andwait some minutes for the engine oilto flow back into the sump beforechecking it. Pull out the dipstick, wipeit with a clean, non-fluffy cloth,re-insert it completely and pull it outonce more.
If the level lies between the marks,there is no need to refill. Hot oil mayexceed the MAX mark by somemillimetres due to thermal expansion.
If it lies at the MIN mark refill usingonly engine oil meeting the Fordspecification.

TYRE REPAIR KIT
General information
WARNINGSCompliance with theseinstructions is vital to ensuring
vehicle safety. Non-compliance withthese instructions means risking tyredamage, which can affect vehiclehandling and lead to loss of vehiclecontrol. This may result in seriousinjury or death.
Do not use the ContiMobilityKitif the tyre has already been
damaged as a result of being drivenunderinflated. Do not try to sealdamage other than that locatedwithin the visible tread of the tyre. Donot try to seal damage to the tyre’ssidewall.
Note: Remember that emergencyroadside tyre repair kits only providetemporary mobility. Regulationsconcerning tyre repair after usage ofContiMobilityKit may differ fromcountry to country. You shouldconsult a tyre specialist for advice.
235
Wheels and tyres
The ContiMobilityKit seals most tyrepunctures to temporarily restoremobility. The system consists of acompressor and a sealant, andserves to effectively and convenientlyseal punctures in car tyres caused,for example, by nails or similar objectswith a diameter of up to 6 mm (¼inch).
Depending on the type and extent oftyre damage, some tyres can onlybe partially sealed or not sealed at all.Loss of tyre pressure can affectvehicle handling, leading to loss ofvehicle control.
Empty sealant bottles can bedisposed of together with normalhousehold waste. Remains of liquidsealant must be returned to yourdealer or disposed of in compliancewith local waste disposal regulations.
Using the ContiMobilityKitsafely
• Drive with caution and avoidmaking sudden steering or drivingmanoeuvres, especially if thevehicle is heavily loaded or you aretowing a trailer.
• The system will provide you withan emergency temporary repair,enabling you to continue yourjourney to the next vehicle or tyredealer, or to drive a maximumdistance of 200 km (125 miles).
• Do not exceed a maximum speedof 80 km/h (50 mph).
• Store the ContiMobilityKit safelyand secure it in the vehicle’sluggage compartment. Storing itanywhere in the passengercompartment is not advisable asit could strike an occupant in theevent of a sudden stop or collisionand cause injury.
• Keep the ContiMobilityKit out ofthe reach of children.
• Use the ContiMobilityKit only forthe vehicle with which it wassupplied.
• If used for other than its intendedpurpose, the ContiMobilityKit maycause severe accident or injurydue to the fact that compressedair can act as an explosive orpropellant.
• Park your vehicle at the roadsideso that you do not obstruct theflow of traffic and so that you areable to use the ContiMobilityKitwithout being in danger.
• Apply the parking brake, even ifyou have parked on a level road,to make sure that the vehicle willnot move.
• Do not attempt to remove foreignobjects like nails or screwspenetrating the tyre. Leave themas they are.
• Leave the engine running whilethe ContiMobilityKit is in use, butnot if the vehicle is in an enclosedor poorly ventilated area.
• Never leave the ContiMobilityKitunattended while in use.
236
Wheels and tyres
• Do not keep the compressoroperating for more than 10minutes otherwise there is a riskof it overheating.
• Replace the sealant canister witha new one before the expirationdate (see top of bottle) isreached.
Repairing a puncture
You can temporarily repair a tyrepuncture in two steps.
First pump the tyre sealant and airinto the tyre (see Step 1). Immediatelythereafter, drive a short distance (3km) in order to distribute the sealantin the tyre. After that, check the tyrepressure and pump more air into thetyre if necessary (see Step 2).
Inform all other users of the vehiclethat the tyre has been temporarilysealed with the ContiMobilityKit andmake them aware of the specialdriving conditions to be observed.
Step 1: Pumping the tyresealant and air into the tyre

Pull the protective cap G off the endof the hose and screw the hose Hfirmly onto the valve of the damagedtyre.
Make sure that the compressorswitch J is switched to 0.
Insert power plug C into the cigarlighter socket or auxiliary powersocket.
Start the engine (only if the vehicle isoutdoors or in a well ventilated area).
WARNINGCheck the sidewall of the tyreprior to inflation. If there are any
cracks, bumps or similar damage, donot attempt to inflate the tyre. Do notstand directly beside the tyre whilethe compressor is pumping. Watchthe sidewall of the tyre. If any cracks,bumps or similar damage appear,turn off the compressor and let theair out by means of the pressure reliefvalve I. In this case, do not continuedriving with this tyre.
Note: When pumping in the sealantthrough the tyre valve, the pressuremay rise up to 6 bar but will dropagain after about 30 seconds.
Press compressor switch J to I.
WARNINGIf the tyre inflation pressure doesnot reach 1.8 bar within 7
minutes, the tyre may have sufferedexcessive damage, making atemporary repair impossible. In thiscase, do not continue driving with thistyre.
Inflate the tyre for no longer than 7minutes to an inflation pressure ofminimum 1.8 bar and a maximum of3.5 bar. Switch off the compressorbriefly in order to read the currenttyre pressure from the pressuregauge K.
Once a tyre inflation pressure of atleast 1.8 bar has been reached,switch the compressor to 0.
Remove the power plug from thecigar lighter socket or auxiliary powersocket.
Quickly unscrew the hose from thetyre valve and replace the protectivecap G. Fasten the valve cap again.
Leave the bottle in the holder.
Make sure the ContiMobilityKit, thelid of the bottle and the orange capare stored safely, but are still easilyaccessible, in the vehicle. The kit willbe needed again when you checkthe tyre pressure.
239
Wheels and tyres
WARNINGIf heavy vibrations, unsteadysteering behavior or noises
should occur while driving, reduceyour speed and drive with caution toa place where it is safe for you tostop the vehicle. Recheck the tyreand its pressure. If the tyre pressureis less than 1.3 bar or if there are anycracks, bumps or similar damagevisible, do not continue driving withthis tyre.
Immediately start and drive for about3 km (2 miles) so that the sealant canseal the damaged area. Do not driveany faster than 80 km/h (50 mph)(observe the sticker indicating themaximum permissible speed).
Checking the tyre pressure
Stop the vehicle after driving about 3km (2 miles). Check and, wherenecessary, adjust the pressure of thedamaged tyre.
Remove the protective cap G fromthe end of the hose.
Screw the hose H firmly onto thevalve of the damaged tyre.
Read the tyre pressure from thepressure gauge K.
If the pressure of the sealant-filledtyre is 1.3 bar or more, it must nowbe adjusted to the pressure specifiedfor your vehicle.
Make sure that the compressorswitch J is switched off to 0.
Insert the power plug C into the cigarlighter socket or auxiliary powersocket.
WARNINGIt may cause asphyxiation if theengine is allowed to run in a
non−ventilated or poorly ventilatedarea (e.g. inside a building).
Start the engine (only if the vehicle isoutdoors or in a well ventilated area).
Switch the compressor on to I andpump the tyre up to the specified tyrepressure.
Switch the compressor off and checkthe tyre pressure again. If tyrepressure is too high, deflate the tyreto the specified pressure using thepressure relief valve I.
Once you have inflated the tyre to itscorrect tyre pressure, switch off thecompressor, remove the plug fromthe socket, unscrew the hose, fastenthe valve cap and replace theprotective cap G.
Leave the bottle in the holder andstore the ContiMobilityKit away safelyin the luggage compartment.
WARNINGBefore driving, ensure tyre isadjusted to recommended
inflation pressure. Monitor tyrepressure until the sealed tyre isreplaced. Proceed as describedabove from point 2 onwards in thesection Step 2: Checking the tyrepressure.
240
Wheels and tyres
Drive to the nearest expert to get thedamaged tyre replaced. Before thetyre is removed from the rim, informyour tyre dealer that the tyre containssealant (see separate tyredemounting instructions). Both thehose and the canister of sealant needto be replaced after using theContiMobilityKit. Sealant deposits ina used hose may impair properfunctioning of the ContiMobilityKit.
USING WINTER TYRES
If winter tyres are used, the tyrepressures recommended by the tyremanufacturers should be adheredto.
USING SNOW CHAINS
Note: Snow chains must not befitted to 205/50 R 17 or 225/40 R 18tyres.
Use only the recommended small linksnow chains on the driving wheels(front).
Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).Remove the chains immediately onsnow-free roads.
The ABS system will continue tofunction normally.
In order to avoid damagingfull-diameter wheel covers, theyshould be removed before drivingwith snow chains.
