Note: If you switch the blower off, the windscreen may mist up.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Outside air Keep the air intakes forward of the windscreen free from obstruction (snow, leaves etc.) to allow the climate control system to function effectively. Recirculated air
CAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to mist up. If the windows mist up, follow the settings
for defrosting and demisting the windscreen.
The air currently in the passenger compartment will be recirculated. Outside air will not enter the vehicle. Heating Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant. Air conditioning Note: The air conditioning operates only when the temperature is above 4ºC (39ºF). Note: If you use the air conditioning, the fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher. Air is directed through the evaporator where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted from the air to help keep the windows free of mist. The resulting condensation is directed to the outside of the vehicle and it is therefore normal if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle.

Fuel and Refuelling
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle stops the second time. Additional fuel will fill the expansion space in
the fuel tank which could lead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillage could be hazardous to other road users.
Do not use any kind of flames or heat near the fuel system. The fuel system is under pressure. There is a risk of
injury if the fuel system is leaking. FUEL QUALITY - PETROL
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with additives containing other metallic compounds (e.g. manganese-based). They could damage the emission system.
Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel without additives or other engine treatments. Use minimum 95 octane unleaded petrol that meets the specification defined by EN 228, or equivalent. FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
WARNING
Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or other liquids. This could cause a chemical reaction.
CAUTIONS
Do not add kerosene, paraffin or petrol to diesel. This could cause damage to the fuel system.
CAUTIONS
Use diesel that meets the specification defined by EN 590, or the relevant national specification.
Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel. Note: The use of additives or other engine treatments not approved by Ford is not recommended. Note: We do not recommend the prolonged use of additives intended to prevent fuel waxing. Long-term storage Most diesel fuels contain bio-diesel, it is recommended to fill the tank with purely mineral diesel (where available) or add an anti-oxidant prior to long-term storage of your vehicle exceeding two months. Your dealer can help you with a suitable anti-oxidant. CATALYTIC CONVERTER
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other combustible materials. The exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during use, and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard. Driving with a catalytic converter
CAUTIONS
Avoid running out of fuel.
Do not crank the engine for long periods. Do not run the engine when a spark plug lead is disconnected.

E66567 Stability Control
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Electronic stability programme (ESP)
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
Stability control (ESP) warning lamp While driving, it flashes during activation of the system. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 50). Emergency brake assist
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
The system will detect when you brake heavily by measuring the rate at which you press the brake pedal. It will provide maximum braking efficiency as long as you press the pedal. The system can reduce stopping distances in critical situations. USING STABILITY CONTROL
Without ESP With ESP
The system supports stability when the vehicle starts to slide away from your intended path. This is performed by braking individual wheels and reducing engine torque as needed. The system also provides an enhanced traction control function by reducing engine torque if the wheels spin when you accelerate. This improves your ability to pull away on slippery roads or loose surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting wheel spin in hairpin bends.
Press and hold the switch for one second. The switch will illuminate. Press the switch again to turn the system on. The system will be switched on automatically every time you switch the ignition on. For item location: See At a Glance (page 8).

E72903AAABBBBE94885 Parking Aids
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING
The parking aid does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
CAUTIONS
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow module not approved by us may not correctly detect obstacles. The sensors may not detect objects in heavy rain or other conditions that cause disruptive reflections. The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves. The parking aid does not detect obstacles moving away from the vehicle. They will only be detected shortly after they start to move towards the vehicle again.
Take particular care when reversing with a tow ball arm or rear fitted accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as the rear parking aid will only indicate the distance from the bumper to the obstacle.
If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the sensors briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches).
Note: On vehicles fitted with a tow ball arm, the parking aid is deactivated automatically when any trailer lamps (or lighting boards) are connected to the 13-pin socket via a trailer tow module we have approved. Note: Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note: The parking aid may emit false tones if it detects a signal using the same frequency as the sensors or if the vehicle is fully laden. Note: The outer sensors may detect the side walls of a garage. If the distance between the outer sensor and the side wall remains constant for three seconds, the tone will switch off. As you continue, the inner sensors will detect rearward objects. USING THE PARKING AID Switching the parking aid on and off Note: The parking aid switches off automatically when you start the engine or when you exceed 16 km/h (10 mph). Note: The front and rear sensors are always activated or deactivated together. The parking aid is per default off. To switch the parking aid on, press the switch in the instrument panel or select reverse gear. The light in the switch illuminates when the parking aid is activated. To turn it off, press the switch again. Manoeuvring with the parking aid
Note: If a high pitch warning tone sounds for three seconds and the light in the switch is flashing, it indicates a malfunction. The system will be disabled. Have the system checked by properly trained technicians.

E72902 Parking Aids
You will hear an intermittent tone at a distance of up to approximately 150
centimetres (59 inches) between the obstacle and rear bumper, 80 centimetres (31 inches) between the obstacle and front bumper and 50 centimetres (20 inches) to the side. Decreasing the distance accelerates the intermittent tone. A continuous tone will start at a distance of less than 30 centimetres (12 inches). You will hear an alternating tone from the front and rear if obstacles are closer than 30 centimetres (12 inches) to the front and rear bumpers.85
Load Carrying
GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Use load securing straps to an approved standard, e.g. DIN. Make sure that you secure all loose items properly. Place luggage and other loads as low and as far forward as possible within the luggage or loadspace. Do not drive with the tailgate or rear door open. Exhaust fumes may enter the vehicle. Do not exceed the maximum front and rear axle loads for your vehicle. See Vehicle identification (page
126).
CAUTIONS
Do not allow items to contact the rear windows. Do not use any abrasive materials to clean the interior of the rear windows. Do not install stickers or labels to the interior of the rear windows.
LUGGAGE COVERS CAUTION
Do not place objects on the luggage cover.
ROOF RACKS AND LOAD CARRIERS Roof rack
WARNINGS
If you use a roof rack, the fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher and you may experience
different driving characteristics.
Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you are fitting a roof rack. Switch stability control (ESP) on. See Using Stability Control (page 83). Inflate the tyres to the full load pressures. See Technical Specifications (page 125).
CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum permissible roof load. See Vehicle Identification Plate (page 126).
Check the security of the roof rack and tighten its fittings as follows:

Towing
TOWING A TRAILER WARNINGS
Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph).
The rear tyre pressures must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 psi) above specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 125).
Do not exceed the maximum gross train weight stated on the vehicle identification plate. See Vehicle
Identification Plate (page 126).
CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum permissible nose weight, i.e. vertical weight on the tow ball, of 50
kilogrammes (110 pounds).
Note: Not all vehicles are suitable or approved to have tow bars fitted. Check with your dealer first. Place loads as low and central to the axle(s) of the trailer as possible. If you are towing with an unladen vehicle, the load in the trailer should be placed toward the nose, within the maximum nose load, as this gives the best stability. Note: The maximum trailer nose weight can be found in the original vehicle documents (confirmation of conformity). Alternatively refer to your dealer. The stability of the vehicle to trailer combination is very much dependant on the quality of the trailer. In high altitude regions above 1000 metres (3281 feet), the stipulated maximum permitted gross train weight must be reduced by 10% for every additional 1000
metres (3281 feet).Steep gradients
WARNING
The overrun brake on a trailer is not controlled by ABS.
Change down a gear before you reach a steep downhill gradient. TOW BALL
WARNINGS
Never leave the detached tow ball arm unsecured inside the vehicle. This would increase the risk of injury
in an accident.
Take special care when fitting the tow ball arm as the safety of the vehicle and the trailer depends on
this.
A 13-pin trailer socket and the tow ball arm seat are provided underneath the rear bumper. Turn the trailer socket down through 90 degrees until it engages in the end position. When not in use, always transport the tow ball arm securely fastened in the luggage compartment. Insert the plug into its seat.
