B ENGINE OIL CHECK CAUTION
Do not use oil additives or other
engine treatments. Under certain
conditions, they could damage the
engine. Note:The oil consumption of new
engines reaches its normal level after approximately 5 000 kilometres (3 000miles).
Checking the oil level CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the
MIN and the MAXmarks. Note:
Check the level before starting the
engine.
Note:Make sure that your vehicle is on
level ground.
Note:Oil expands when it is hot. The level
may therefore extend a few millimetres
beyond the MAXmark.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean, lint free cloth. Replace the dipstick
and remove it again to check the oil level.
If the level is at the MINmark, top up
immediately.

skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse
the affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor. CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the
MIN and the MAXmarks.Note:Coolant expands when it is hot.
The level may therefore extend beyond
the MAX mark.
If the level is at the MINmark, top up
immediately. Topping up WARNINGS
Only top up when the engine is cold.
If the engine is hot, wait 10 minutes
for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is hot. Wait for the engine
to cool down.
Undiluted coolant is flammable and
may ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.
CAUTIONS
In an emergency, you can add just
water to the cooling system to reach
a vehicle service station. The system
must then be drained and refilled with a
50/50 mixture of coolant and water. Have
the system checked by a properly trained
technician as soon as possible. Increased dilution of the coolant can
cause engine damage from
corrosion, overheating or freezing.
Unscrew the cap
slowly. Any pressure
will escape slowly as you unscrew the
cap. CAUTION
Do not top up further than the
MAX
mark. Top up with a 50/50 mixture of coolant
and water using fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See
Technical
specifications (page 150).

GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
Use only approved wheel and tyre
sizes. Using other sizes could
damage the vehicle and will make
the National Type Approval invalid. If you change the diameter of the
tyres from that fitted at the factory,
the speedometer may not display
the correct speed. Take the vehicle to
your dealer to have the engine
management system reprogrammed. A decal with tyre pressure data is located
in the driver’s door opening at the B-pillar.
Check and set the tyre pressure at the
ambient temperature in which you are
intending to drive the vehicle and when
the tyres are cold.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
Locking wheel nuts
You can obtain a replacement locking
wheel nut key and replacement locking
wheel nuts from your dealer using the
reference number certificate.
Vehicles with a temporary
spare wheel
WARNINGS
If the spare wheel differs from the
other fitted wheels, these rules must
be followed:
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
Drive the shortest possible
distances.
Do not fit more than one spare
wheel on your vehicle at any one
time. WARNINGS
Do not use snow chains on this type
of wheel.
Do not drive through an automatic
car wash.
Do not carry out any tyre repairs on
a temporary spare wheel.
CAUTION
The ground clearance of your vehicle
will be reduced. Take care when
parking next to a kerb.
Note:Your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.
Vehicle jack WARNINGS
The vehicle jack supplied with your
vehicle should only be used when
changing a wheel in emergency
situations. Before using the vehicle jack, check
that it is not damaged or deformed
and that the thread is lubricated and
free from foreign matter. Never place anything between the
jack and the ground, or the jack and
the vehicle.
Note:
Vehicles with a tyre repair kit or run
flat tyres are not equipped with a vehicle jack or a wheel brace.
It is recommended to use a workshop
type hydraulic jack for changing between
summer and winter tyres.
