PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

E123935

AirbagsWARNINGS

Do not modify the front of yourvehicle in any way. This couldadversely affect deployment of the

airbags.Original warning according to ECER94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not usea rearward facing child restraint on

a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!Wear a seat belt and keep sufficientdistance between yourself and thesteering wheel. Only when you use

the seat belt properly, can it hold you in aposition that allows the airbag to achieveits optimum effect.

WARNINGSHave repairs to the steering wheel,steering column, seats, airbags andseat belts carried out by properly

trained technicians from Ford authoriseddealerships.

Keep the areas in front of the airbagsfree from obstruction. Do not affixanything to or over the airbag covers.Do not poke sharp objects into areaswhere airbags are fitted. This coulddamage and adversely affect

deployment of the airbags.The airbag may only deploy with theignition switch in the on (II) position.

15

Occupant protection

WARNINGSAlways keep the areas in front of theairbags free. Never affix anything toor over these areas.If you are too close to an inflatingairbag, it could seriously injure you.Move your seat as far back as

practical to allow room for airbag inflation.Several airbag system componentsget hot after inflation. Do not touchafter inflation.Fitment of certain accessories e.g.bull bars or nudge bars may causeinadvertent or premature

deployment of air bags.

Note: You will hear a loud bang and see acloud of harmless powdery residue if anairbag deploys. This is normal.Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a dampcloth.Your vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder which is capable of collecting andstoring data during a crash or near crashevent. The recorded information may assistin the investigation of such an event. Toaccess this information special equipmentmust be directly connected to therecording modules. Ford does not accessevent data recorder information withoutobtaining consent unless pursuant to acourt order or where required by lawenforcement, other government authoritiesor other third parties may seek access tothe information independent of Ford.

E123936

The airbag is a supplementary restraintsystem. It is designed to be used in additionto seat belts to help protect against headand chest injuries in certain moderate tosevere frontal collisions.

The airbag system is not visible until it isactivated. The air bag system is designedto deploy the driver and passenger frontair bags in certain frontal and front angledcollisions.

16

Occupant protection

Because the system senses crash severity,some frontal and side collisions will notinflate the airbags. Front airbags are notdesigned to inflate in rollover, rear and lowspeed impacts.The restraint system comprises:• a driver airbag• a front passenger airbag• crash sensors• an airbag warning lamp• an electronic control and diagnostic

unit.

Driver and front passenger airbagsYour vehicle is equipped with an air bag forthe driver, located in the steering wheeland a passenger air bag is located in theinstrument panel above the glovecompartment. The passenger air bag canbe identified by the ‘Airbag’ markembedded on the airbag cover.The seat back must be set correctly for theairbags to be optimally effective. SeeSitting in the Correct Position (page51). This helps to reduce the risk of injuryfrom sitting too close to an inflating airbag.

E102125

The driver and front passenger airbags willdeploy during significant frontal collisionsor collisions that are up to 30 degrees fromthe left or the right. The airbags will inflatewithin a few thousandths of a second anddeflate on contact with the occupants,thus cushioning forward face/bodymovement. During minor frontal collisions,overturns, rear collisions and sidecollisions, the driver and front passengerairbags will not deploy.

WARNINGSIf the passenger airbag cover showssigns of having been removed, thecar should be towed to the nearest

Authorised Ford Dealer for repair. Do notattempt to reinstall the cover. If the vehiclemust be driven then on no account shouldthere be an occupant in the frontpassenger seat.

The airbag(s) and energymanagement retractors will activateonly once. Once activated, the

airbags and energy management retractorswill not function again and must bereplaced immediately. The crash sensormust also be replaced. If the airbag(s) arenot replaced, the un-repaired area willincrease the risk of injury in a collision.

Airbag warning light

E123944

When the ignition switch is turned toposition II, the airbag warning light on theinstrument panel illuminates forapproximately 3 seconds to indicate thatthe system is functional.

17

Occupant protection

If the airbag warning light does notilluminate, if it stays on or illuminatesintermittently or continuously while driving,it means there is a malfunction. Have thesystem checked by an Authorised FordDealer.

Seat beltsWARNINGS

Wear a seat belt and keep sufficientdistance between yourself and thesteering wheel. Only when you use

the seat belt properly, it can hold you in aposition to achieve its optimum effect.

The wearing of seat belts is requiredby law, even when airbags are fitted.Never use a seat belt for more thanone person.Use the correct buckle for each seatbelt.Do not use a seat belt that is slackor twisted.Do not wear thick clothing. The seatbelt must fit tightly around your bodyto achieve its optimum effect.Position the shoulder strap of theseat belt over the centre of yourshoulder and position the lap strap

tightly across your hips.

E123937

The importance of wearing seat beltsSeat belts must be worn by all vehicleoccupants to be properly restrained andhelp reduce the risk of injury in a collision.Wearing a seat belt will:

E123940

• help keep you in the proper positionwhen the airbags inflate,

• reduce the risk of harm in rollover, sideor rear impact collisions,

• reduce the risk of harm in frontalcollisions that are not severe enoughto activate the airbags,

• reduce the risk of being thrown fromyour vehicle.

E123941

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS

WARNINGSInsert the tongue into the buckle untilyou hear a distinct click. You havenot fastened the seat belt properly

if you do not hear a click.Do not use a seat belt that is slackor twisted.

18

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATIONOutside airIn this mode the climate control systemutilizes outside air.

Cowl filter and wire mesh filterThese filters remove the dust that isbrought in from the outside air through thecooling and heating system, when theblower is operated.Have your dealer replace/clean the filtersas mentioned in the Periodicalmaintenance schedule.

Recirculated airCAUTION

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.Ensure maximum utilization of therecirculation mode to avoid dust enteringinto the passenger compartment and badsmell entering from outside.

HeatingThe purpose of heating is to heat theinterior compartment in cold weatherconditions.Heating performance depends on thetemperature of the engine coolant.

Air conditioningThe purpose of air conditioning is to coolthe interior compartment.

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.If you use the air conditioning, the fuelconsumption of your vehicle will be higher.Note: The air conditioning operates onlywhen the temperature is above 4ºC (39ºF).

General information on controllingthe interior climateWarming the interiorDirect the air towards your feet. In cold orhumid weather conditions, direct some ofthe air towards the windscreen and thedoor windows.

REFUELLING

CAUTIONDo not attempt to start the engine ifyou have filled the fuel tank with theincorrect fuel. This could damage the

engine. Have the system checked by aproperly trained technician immediately.

FUEL QUALITY - PETROLNote: Add 1 ml of IFTEX System G withevery litre of Gasoline (Petrol). It is availableat all Ford authorised dealerships.

CAUTIONDo not use leaded petrol or petrol withadditives containing other metalliccompounds (e.g. manganese-based).

They could damage the emission system.

Use minimum 91 octane unleaded petrolthat meets the specification defined by EN228, or equivalent.

FUEL QUALITY - DIESELNote: We recommend that you use onlyhigh quality fuel without additives or otherengine treatments.

WARNINGDo not mix diesel with oil, petrol orother liquids. This could cause achemical reaction.

CAUTIONDo not add kerosene, paraffin orpetrol to diesel. This could causedamage to the fuel system.

Use diesel that meets the specificationdefined by EN 590, or equivalent.

You can use diesel that contains up to 5%RME (bio diesel).Prolonged use of supplemental additivesto prevent fuel waxing is notrecommended.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONLength of journey/enginetemperatureFrequent cold starts and short distancedriving leads to considerably increased fuelusage.

Traffic and road conditionsSlow moving traffic, uphill driving, frequentsharp bends and rough roads all have anadverse effect on fuel consumption.

Erratic driving habitsAnticipate hazards ahead and keep a safedistance from the vehicle in front.This not only reduces fuel consumptionbut also the noise level.If you have a prolonged wait at a railwaycrossing or at traffic lights in built-up areas,it is advisable to switch off the engineduring this period.

Vehicle load conditionsDriving in a fully laden condition will resultin high fuel consumption.

Vehicle conditionLow tyre pressure or inadequate engine orvehicle maintenance will also result inhigher fuel consumption.

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 10,000 km(3,000 and 6,000 miles).

CAUTIONDo not scrub the sidewalls of the tyreswhen 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, foreignobjects and uneven wear of the tread.Uneven wear could mean that the wheelalignment is outside specification.Check the tyre pressures (including thespare) when cold, every two weeks.
