2006 FORD MONDEO automatic transmission

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1 = Gear 1 (4-speedtransmission)
The transmission remains in the firstgear. For extreme downhill gradients.
Manual shifting (5-speedtransmission)
Manually selecting gears with theautomatic transmission is similar toshifting with a manual transmission.This option can be selected when thevehicle is either stationary or inmotion.
Move the gearshift lever to D, andthen guide it to the right. When thevehicle is stationary, only the gears 1and 2 can be selected.
To shift down, gently push thegearshift lever forwards (−) or pressa − button on the steering wheelspokes. To shift up, gently pull itbackwards (+) or press a + button onthe steering wheel spokes. You canshift up or down only one gear at atime. For your safety and comfort,the transmission will perform yourmanual gear selection when vehiclespeed and engine speed areappropriate.
The manually selected gear will beshown in the multifunction display assoon as the transmission performedthe selection.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The multifunction display shows thecurrent selector lever position PRNor D and AUTO when the selectorlever is in the left gate (automaticshifting) or 1234 or 5 and MANwhen the selector lever is in the rightgate (manual shifting).
Manual shifting (4-speedtransmission)
Select position 1, release the parkingbrake and depress the acceleratorpedal. Move the selector lever toposition 2 and D as the road speedincreases.
If the selector lever is moved fromposition D to position 2 while driving,the transmission will change down tosecond gear once the speed dropsbelow 110 km/h (69 mph) and remainin this gear. If the selector lever ismoved to position 1, the transmissionremains in second gear until thespeed drops to 45 km/h (38 mph). Itwill then change down to first gearand stay in this gear.
Overdrive (4-speedtransmission)
The 4th gear is designed as anoverdrive. If the transmission isfrequently shifting between 4th and3rd gear (selector lever position D),the overdrive should be switched off.Depress the button located underthe grip at the side of the selectorlever.
The overdrive indicator in themultifunction display indicates thatthe overdrive is switched off. Thetransmission will now shift onlybetween gears 1 to 3.

Driving with an automatictransmission
Moving off
With the engine idling and the brakepedal depressed, move the selectorlever to one of the driving positions.Release the brakes. The vehicle willstart to move slowly in the selecteddirection. Depress the acceleratorpedal to increase speed.
Moving off in sand, mud andsnow
If the driving wheels are stuck, try torock the vehicle free by drivingforwards and backwards. To do this,move the selector lever alternatelyto D and R and depress theaccelerator as little as possible. Toincrease the effect, move theselector lever to R while the vehicleis still moving forward and vice versa.
To avoid excessive wear on thetransmission when shifting betweenforward and reverse (rocking) keepthe engine speed as low as possible.
In winter, position 2 (4-speedtransmission) or second gear(5-speed transmission) may be usedfor initial drive-off on icy orsnow-covered surfaces.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine With 5-speed transmission and thevehicle stationary, first select D thenmove the selector lever to the rightand then backwards (+). Themultifunction display will indicate thatsecond gear has been selected.
Downshift (Kickdown)
The automatic transmission canprovide increased torque for steepgradients or for overtaking. Toachieve this kickdown effect, depressand hold the accelerator pedal fullyin the selector lever position D. Thesame effect can be achieved inmanual mode at low or moderatevehicle speed (5-speed transmissiononly).
The transmission will change into thenext higher gear when the maximumengine speed has been reached.Release the accelerator pedal whenkickdown is no longer required.
Stopping
Release the accelerator pedal anddepress the footbrake. Leave theselector lever where it is. To move offagain release the footbrake.

Note: Mondeo ST vehicles are notapproved for trailer towing.
The maximum vehicle and trailerpayloads represent technicallybinding values for gradients up to 12% and at an altitude of 1 000 metresabove sea level. In high altituderegions, thinner atmosphere canreduce engine performance so thefollowing restrictions will apply:
Above 1 000 metres, the stipulatedmaximum permitted gross trainweight must be reduced by 10 % forevery 1 000 metres in altitude.
Steep gradients
WARNING
The overrun brake on a trailer isnot controlled by the anti-lockbraking system.
Change down in plenty of timebefore downhill gradients.
For vehicles with an automatictransmission, if downhill modeprovides insufficient braking thenselect manual mode and second orfirst gear as necessary.
ESSENTIAL TOWING
CHECKS
WARNING
If any of the following conditionscannot be met, do not use thetow bar and have it inspected by anexpert.
Before starting your journey, ensurethe tow ball is properly locked.Check:
•Lever 1 must be in its originalposition (right-hand side).
•The key has been removed.
•Secure positioning of the tow ball.(Must remain perfectly in placewhen jerked.)
WARNING
Never attach the safety cabledirectly to the tow ball.
•Attach the safety cable to thesafety cable eye.
