AUXILIARY HEATER
Parking heater
WARNINGS
The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces. The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing. Note:
The parking heater will only
operate if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6 gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank and theambient temperature is below 15°C(59°F). The heater will not operate if thebattery is low.
Note:The heating depends on the
outside air temperature.
Note:When the parking heater is
activated, exhaust fumes may come from under the sides of the vehicle. This isnormal.
Note:On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is dependent on the temperature, airdistribution and blower control settings.
The parking heater operates
independently of the vehicle heater by
heating the engine’s coolant circuit. It is
fed from the vehicle fuel tank. You can
also use it while the vehicle is in motion to
help the vehicle heater warm up the
interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater
provides the following benefits:
• It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
• It keeps the windows clear of ice in
the event of frost and prevents
condensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating
temperature sooner.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has
performed one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only
be carried out if you have started the
vehicle’s engine in between.
• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.

GENERAL INFORMATION
General points on starting
If the battery has been disconnected the
vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approx. 8 kilometres
(5 miles) after reconnecting the battery.
This is because the engine management
system must realign itself with the engine.
Any unusual driving characteristics during
this period may be disregarded.

Regeneration
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the
exhaust will radiate a considerable
amount of heat during and after DPF
regeneration, and after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard. CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel.
Note:After you have switched your
engine off the fans may continue to run for a short period of time.
Unlike a normal filter which requires
periodic replacement, the DPF has been
designed to regenerate, or clean itself to
maintain operating efficiency. The
regeneration process takes place
automatically. However, some driving
conditions mean that you may need to
support the regeneration process.
If you drive only short distances or your
journeys contain frequent stopping and
starting, where there is increased
acceleration and deceleration, occasional
trips with the following conditions could
assist the regeneration process:
• Drive your vehicle at a constant speed,
preferably on a main road or
motorway, for up to 20 minutes.
• Avoid prolonged idling and always
observe speed limits and road
conditions. •
Do not switch off the ignition.
• Use a lower gear than normal to
maintain a higher engine speed during
this journey, where appropriate.
SWITCHING OFF THE
ENGINE
Vehicles with a turbocharger CAUTION
Do not switch the engine off when it
is running at high speed. If you do,
the turbocharger will continue
running after the engine oil pressure has
dropped to zero. This will lead to
premature turbocharger bearing wear. Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until
the engine has reached idle speed and
then switch it off.

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.
FUEL FILLER FLAP WARNINGS
Take care when refuelling to avoid
spilling any residual fuel from the fuel
nozzle.
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. CAUTION
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel
filler flap briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). 104
