You can set the temperature between
15.5°C (60°F) and 29.5°C (85°F) in steps
of 0.5°C (1°F). In position LO, 15°C (59°F),
the system will switch to permanent
cooling. In position HI, 30°C (86°F), the
system will switch to permanent heating.
Note:
If either position LO or HI is selected,
the system will not regulate a stable
temperature.
Mono mode
In mono mode, the temperature settings
for both the driver ’s and passenger ’s side
are linked. If you adjust the temperature
using the rotary control on the driver ’s side,
the settings will be adjusted to the same
setting on the passenger ’s side. In mono
mode, MONO appears in the display.
To switch mono mode off

side with the rotary control on the
passenger ’s side. Mono mode will switch
off and MONO disappears from the
display. The temperature for the driver ’s
side will remain unchanged. You can now
adjust the driver and passenger side
temperatures independently of each
another. The temperature settings for each
side are shown in the display. You can set
a temperature difference of up to 4°C
(8°F).
Note: If you set a temperature difference
of greater than 4°C (8°F), the temperature
on the other side will be adjusted so that
the difference remains 4°C (8°F). Note:
If you set one of the sides to HI or LO,
both sides will be set to HI or LO.

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 the ambient
temperature is below 15°C (59°F). The
heater will not operate if the battery 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 is normal.
Note: On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is
dependent on the temperature, air
distribution 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.
Programming the parking heater
Note: The programmed time is the time at
which you wish the vehicle to be warm and
ready to drive, not the time at which the
heater switches on.
Note: You must programme the times at
least 70 minutes in advance of the time you
wish to set.
Note: You must set the time and date
correctly. See Clock (page 122).
To programme the heating times:
1. Use the arrow buttons on the steering wheel to enter the main menu. See
Information Displays (page 83).
2. Select the park heater option.

Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
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 MAX marks.
Note:
Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may therefore extend beyond the MAX
mark.
If the level is at the MIN mark, 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. Have the
system checked by a properly trained
technician as soon as possible. CAUTIONS
Prolonged use of incorrect 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 192).
BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID
CHECK
WARNINGS
Use of any fluid other than the
recommended brake fluid may
reduce brake efficiency and not meet
Ford's performance standards. Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor. If the level is at the MIN mark, have
the system checked by a properly
trained technician as soon as
possible. Note:
Keep brake fluid clean and dry.
Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum
products or other materials may result in
brake system damage and possible failure.
Note: The brake and the clutch systems are
supplied from the same reservoir.
