ARMING THE ALARM
The system is armed as soon as the
vehicle is locked and acts as a deterrent
to unauthorised persons who attempt to
open the doors, bonnet or luggage
compartment, or remove the audio
system.
The alarm sounds for 30 seconds if an
unauthorised person opens a door, the
luggage compartment or the bonnet. The
hazard flasher lights will flash for five
minutes.
Any attempt to start the engine without a
valid key or to remove the audio system
sounds the alarm again.
Automatic arming delay
The 20 seconds arming delay begins
when the bonnet, luggage compartment
and all doors are closed.
Interior sensors
WARNING
This system functions correctly only
if all windows are completely closed.
In addition to this, the sensors
located in the interior lamp unit must not
be covered up. The system should not
be activated if any persons, animals or
other moving objects are inside the
vehicle. This system acts as a deterrent against
unauthorised intrusion by sensing any
movement within the vehicle. Unauthorised entry into the vehicle’s
interior will trigger the alarm in the same
way as the anti-theft system.
The sensors are located in the interior
lamp unit.
All except Britain and Ireland
The interior sensing alarm is armed
together with the double locking system.
Britain and Ireland only
The interior sensing alarm is armed
together with the central locking system.
To deactivate the interior sensors press
the switch next to the driver’s door
handle.
DISARMING THE ALARM
The system can be deactivated at any
time, even when the alarm is sounding,
by unlocking the vehicle from the outside.
The system will be deactivated if:
•
A valid passive key is located within
the detection range.
• The unlock button on the remote
control is pressed.
• A valid passive key is located within
the vehicle interior and you depress
the clutch pedal (manual transmission)
or brake pedal (automatic
transmission).
• You insert the key blade into the key
holder.
The system for the luggage compartment
lid will be deactivated if.
• A valid passive key is located within
the detection range.
• The luggage compartment lid unlock
button on the remote control is

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.

CAUTIONS
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See
Using booster cables
(page 154).Do not switch the ignition off when
driving.
REFUELLING
CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the engine if
you have filled the fuel tank with the
incorrect fuel. This could damage the
engine. Have the system checked by a
properly trained technician immediately. FUEL CONSUMPTION
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures
are derived from laboratory tests
according to EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC
and subsequent amendments and are
carried out by all vehicle manufacturers.
They are intended as a comparison
between makes and models of vehicles.
They are not intended to represent the
real world fuel consumption you may get
from your vehicle. Real world fuel
consumption is governed by many factors
including; driving style, high speed driving,
stop/start driving, air conditioning usage,
the accessories fitted and towing etc.
Your Ford dealer can give you advice on
improving your fuel consumption.
