Your engine has been designed to be used with Castrol and Ford Engine Oil, which gives
a fuel economy benefit whilst maintaining the durability of your engine.
For petrol engines only, Ford and Castrol have developed a low friction SAE-5W-20 oil
which offers further fuel economy benefits over the standard SAE-5W-30 oil. If this oil
is not available, we recommend that you service with oil to specification WSS-M2C913-C.
Topping up the oil: If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined
by WSS-M2C913-C or WSS-M2C925-B (petrol engines only), you must use SAE 5W-30
that meets the specification defined by ACEA A5/B5.
Using topping up oils other than the one specified can result in longer engine cranking
periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased emission
levels.
Castrol engine oil recommended.

Maintenance

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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. If you intend to change the size of the
wheels from that fitted at the factory,
check the suitability with your dealer.
Note:
Check your tyre pressures regularly
to optimise fuel economy.
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 spare wheel
If the spare wheel is exactly the same type
and size as the other fitted road wheels,
you can replace the existing road wheel
with the spare wheel and continue to drive
in the normal manner.
If the spare wheel is different to the other
road wheels, it will carry a yellow label with
the appropriate speed limit. Refer to the following information before
changing the road wheel. WARNINGS
Drive the shortest possible distances.
Do not fit more than one spare wheel
on your vehicle at any one time.
Do not carry out any tyre repairs on
a spare wheel.
Do not drive through an automatic
car wash.

If the pressure of the sealant-filled tyre
is 1.3 bar (19 psi) or more, adjust it to
the specified pressure. See Technical
Specifications (page 209).
4. Follow the inflation procedure once again to top up the tyre.
5. Check the tyre pressure again from the
pressure gauge F. If the tyre pressure
is too high, deflate the tyre to the
specified pressure using the pressure
relief valve B.
6. Once you have inflated the tyre to its correct tyre pressure, move the
compressor switch H to position 0,
remove the power plug G from the
socket, unscrew the hose C, fasten the
valve cap and replace the protective
cap A.
7. Leave the sealant bottle K in the bottle
holder E and store the kit away safely
in its original location.
8. Drive to the nearest tyre specialist to get the damaged tyre replaced. Before
the tyre is removed from the rim, inform
your tyre dealer that the tyre contains
sealant. Renew the kit as soon as
possible after it has been used once.
Note: Remember that emergency roadside
tyre repair kits only provide temporary
mobility. Regulations concerning tyre repair
after usage of tyre repair kit may differ from
country to country. You should consult a
tyre specialist for advice. WARNING
Before driving, make sure the tyre is
adjusted to the recommended
inflation pressure. See Technical
Specifications (page 209). Monitor the
tyre pressure until the sealed tyre is
replaced. Empty sealant bottles can be disposed of
together with normal household waste.
Return remains of sealant to your dealer
or dispose of it in compliance with local
waste disposal regulations.
TYRE CARE
To make sure the front and rear tyres of
your vehicle wear evenly and last longer,
we recommend that you swap the tyres
from front to rear and vice versa at regular
intervals of between 5000 and 10000
kilometres (3000 and 6000 miles).
CAUTION
Do not scrub the sidewalls of the tyres
when you are parking.
If you have to mount a kerb, do so slowly
and approach it with the wheels at
right-angles to the kerb.
Examine the tyres regularly for cuts, foreign
objects and uneven wear of the tread.
Uneven wear could mean that the wheel
alignment is outside specification.
Check the tyre pressures (including the
spare) when cold, every two weeks.

CAUTION
Make sure that you use the correct
wheel nuts for the type of wheel the
winter tyres are fitted to.
If winter tyres are used, make sure that the
tyre pressures are correct. See Technical
Specifications (page 209).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).
Do not use snow chains on snow-free
roads.
Only fit snow chains to specified
tyres. See Technical
Specifications (page 209).
CAUTION
If your vehicle is fitted with wheel
trims, remove them before fitting
snow chains.
Note:
The ABS will continue to operate
normally.
Only use snow chains of 10 millimetre or
smaller.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Vehicles with stability control
(ESP)
Vehicles with stability control (ESP) may
exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics which can be reduced by
switching traction control off. See Using
Stability Control (page 145). 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 90).
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 209).
If this happens frequently, have the cause
determined and rectified as soon as
possible.
