PRINCIPLEOFOPERATION

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

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the interior

Direct the air towards your feet. In cold orhumid weather conditions, direct someof the air towards the windscreen and thedoor windows.

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.

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.

transmission, select park.

Have the passengers leave thevehicle.

Secure the diagonally oppositewheel with an appropriate block orwheel chock.

Make sure that the arrows ondirectional tyres point in the directionof rotation when the vehicle is

moving forwards. If you have to fit a sparewheel with the arrows pointing in theopposite direction, have the tyre refittedin the correct direction by a properlytrained technician.

Do not work underneath the vehiclewhen it is supported only by a jack.

Make sure the jack base is flat onthe ground and vertically below thejacking point.

CAUTION

Do not lay alloy wheels face down onthe ground, this will damage thepaint.

Note: The spare wheel is located underthe floor cover in the luggagecompartment.

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.

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:

138

Wheels and tyres

Page 141: Fiesta(CG3545en)08-2009

• 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 valve I. Do not continue driving withthis 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 10minutes, the tyre may have suffered

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

REGIONALMODE (REG)

Regional mode (REG) controls thebehaviour of AF switching betweenregionally related networks of a parentbroadcaster. A broadcaster may run afairly large network across a large part ofthe country. At various times of the daythis large network may be broken downinto a number of smaller regionalnetworks, typically centred on majortowns or cities. When the network is notsplit into regional variants, the wholenetwork caries the same programming.

Regional mode ON: This prevents'random' AF switches when neighbouringregional networks are not carrying thesame programming.

Regional mode OFF: This allows a largercoverage area if neighbouring regionalnetworks are carrying the sameprogramming, but can cause 'random'AF switches if they are not.

ALTERNATIVEFREQUENCIES

Many programmes broadcast on the FMwaveband have a programmeidentification (PI) code, which can berecognised by audio units.

If your radio has alternative frequencies(AF) tuning switched on and you movefrom one transmission area to another,this facility will search for and switch to astronger station signal, if one can befound.

Under certain conditions, however, AFtuning may temporarily disrupt normalreception.

When selected, the unit continuallyevaluates signal strength and, if a bettersignal becomes available, the unit willswitch to that alternative. It mutes while itchecks a list of alternative frequenciesand, if necessary, it will search onceacross the selected waveband for agenuine alternative frequency.

It will restore radio reception when it findsone or, if one is not found, the unit willreturn to the original stored frequency.

When selected, ‘AF’ will be shown in thedisplay.

MP3FILE PLAYBACK

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is astandard technology and format forcompressing audio data. This allows amore efficient use of the media.

You can play MP3 files recorded onCD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. The discmust be in the ISO 9660 level 1 or level 2format, or Joliet or Romeo in theexpansion format. You can also use a discrecorded in Multi Session.

ISO9660 format

This is the most common internationalstandard for the logical format of files andfolders on a CD-ROM.

There are several specification levels. InLevel 1, file names must be in the 8.3format (no more than 8 characters in thename, no more than 3 characters in theextension “.MP3”) and in capital letters.

Folder names can be no longer than 8characters. There can be no more than8 folder levels (trees). Level 2specifications allow file names up to 31characters long.

Each folder can have up to 8 trees.

For Joliet or Romeo in the expansionformat, please consider these restrictionswhen configuring your CD writingsoftware.

Multi session

This is a recording method that enablesadding of data using the Track-At-Oncemethod.

Conventional CDs begin at a CD controlarea called the Lead-in and end at an areacalled Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is aCD having multiple sessions, with eachsegment from Lead-in to Lead-outregarded as a single session.

Compact disc player

Page 165: Fiesta(CG3545en)08-2009

• CD-Extra: The format that recordsaudio (audio CD data) as tracks onsession 1, and records data as trackson session 2.

• Mixed CD: In this format, data isrecorded as track 1, and audio (audioCD data) is recorded as track 2.

File formats

• With formats other than ISO 9660 level1 and level 2, folder names or filenames may not be displayed correctly.

• When naming, be sure to add the fileextension “.MP3” to the file name.

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to afile other than MP3, the unit cannotrecognize the file properly and willgenerate random noise that coulddamage your speakers.

• The following discs take a longer timeto start playback.• a disc recorded with complicated

tree structure.• a disc recorded in Multi Session.

• a non-finalised disc to which datacan be added.
