GENERAL INFORMATION
Have your vehicle serviced regularly to
help maintain its roadworthiness and
resale value. There is a large network of
Ford Authorised Repairers that are there
to help you with their professional
servicing expertise. We believe that their
specially trained technicians are best
qualified to service your vehicle properly
and expertly. They are supported by a
wide range of highly specialised tools
developed specifically for servicing your
vehicle.
In addition to regular servicing, we

WARNINGS
Switch the ignition off before
touching or attempting adjustment
of any kind.
Do not touch the electronic ignition
system parts after you have
switched the ignition on or when the
engine is running. The system operates
at high voltage. Keep your hands and clothing clear
of the engine cooling fan. Under
certain conditions, the fan may
continue to run for several minutes after
you have switched the engine off. CAUTION
When carrying out maintenance
checks, make sure that filler caps are
fitted securely.

OPENING AND CLOSING
THE BONNET
Opening the bonnet WARNING
To prevent damage to, or loss of the
key, remove the key immediately
after opening and swivel the Ford
badge back. Note:On vehicles with keyless entry, use
the spare key. See Keyless entry(page
31).

Maintenance
Insert the screw-in towing eye into the
wheel brace.
Removing the wheel trim
Type one
Insert the flat end of the wheel brace
between the rim and the trim and carefully
remove the trim.
Type two
1. Insert the wheel trim remover.
2. Remove the wheel trim.
Note:Make sure that you pull the wheel
trim remover at right angles to the trim.
Removing a road wheel WARNINGS
Park your vehicle in such a position
that neither the traffic nor you are
hindered or endangered.
Set up a warning triangle.
Make sure that the vehicle is on firm,
level ground with the wheels
pointing straight ahead.
Switch off the ignition and apply the
parking brake.
If your vehicle has a manual
transmission, select first or reverse
gear. If it has an automatic
transmission, select park. Have the passengers leave the
vehicle.
Secure the diagonally opposite
wheel with an appropriate block or
wheel chock.
Make sure that the arrows on
directional tyres point in the direction
of rotation when the vehicle is
moving forwards. If you have to fit a spare
wheel with the arrows pointing in the
opposite direction, have the tyre refitted
in the correct direction by a properly
trained technician. Do not work underneath the vehicle
when it is supported only by a jack.
Make sure that the jack is vertical to
the jacking point and the base is flat
on the ground.
CAUTION
Do not lay alloy wheels face down on
the ground, this will damage the
paint.

Vehicles with stability control
(ESP)
Vehicles with stability control (ESP) may
exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics which can be avoided by
switching the system off. See
Using
stability control (page 113).
TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to regularly check
the tyre pressures.
The system will only provide a low
tyre pressure warning. It will not
inflate the tyres.
Do not drive on significantly
under-inflated tyres. This may cause
the tyres to overheat and fail.
Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency,
tyre tread life and may also affect your
ability to drive the vehicle safely. CAUTIONS
Do not bend or damage the valves
when you are inflating the tyres.
Have tyres installed by properly
trained technicians.
The Deflation Detection System will alert
you if there is a change of air pressure in
any tyre. It does this by using the ABS
sensors to detect the rolling
circumference of the wheels. When the
circumference changes, this indicates low
pressure in a tyre, a warning message is
displayed in the information display and
the message indicator will illuminate. See
Information messages
(page 73).Apart from a too low tyre pressure or a
damaged tyre, the following situations can
affect the rolling circumference:
•
Vehicle load is uneven.
• When using a trailer or travelling up
and down an incline.
• Using snow chains.
• Driving on soft surfaces such as snow
or mud.
Note:The system will still function
correctly, but there may be an increased detection time.
If a low pressure warning message is
displayed in the information display, check
the tyre pressures as soon as possible
and inflate them to the recommended
pressure. See Technical
specifications (page 168).
If this happens frequently, have the cause
determined and rectified as soon as
possible.
System reset
Note:
Do not reset the system when the
vehicle is moving.
Note:You should reset the system
following any adjustment to the tyre pressures or any changing of tyres.
Note:Turn the ignition on.

menu.
Turning the ignition and radio or navigation
unit back on again, the last active phone
is picked up by the system.
Note:In some cases the Bluetooth
connection must also be confirmed on the phone.
Bond another Bluetooth phone
Bond a new Bluetooth phone as
described in the requirements for a
Bluetooth connection.
Phones stored in the system are
accessible by using the phone list on the
audio unit.
Note:
A maximum of six devices may be
bonded. If six Bluetooth devices have already been bonded, one of these hasto be debonded in order to bond a newdevice.
BLUETOOTH SETUP
Before you can use your telephone with
your vehicle it must be bonded to the
vehicle telephone system.
Handling of phones
Up to six Bluetooth devices can be
bonded to the vehicle system.
Note:
If there is an ongoing call when the
phone in use is selected as the new active phone, the call is transferred to the vehicleaudio system.
Note:Even if connected to the car
system, your phone can still be used in the usual way.
Requirements for Bluetooth
connection
The following are required before a
Bluetooth phone connection can be
made.
1. The Bluetooth feature must be activated on the phone and on the
audio unit. Make sure the Bluetooth
menu option in the audio unit is set to

2. The private mode must not be activated on the Bluetooth phone.
3. Search for audio device.
4. Select Ford Audio.
5. Enter the code number shown on the vehicle display using the phone
keypad. If no code number is shown
on the display, enter the Bluetooth PIN
number 0000 using the phone
keypad. Now enter the Bluetooth PIN
number shown on the vehicle display.

Check that electromagnetic fields
generated inside the vehicle cabin by the
transmitter installed do not exceed human
exposure limits specified in EU directive
2004/40/EC.
