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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Top up with fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 192).
WASHER FLUID CHECK
Note:
The front and rear washer systems
are supplied from the same reservoir. When topping up, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. We recommend that you use
only high quality washer fluid.
For information on fluid dilution, refer to
the product instructions.

Vehicle fluids CAUTION
Do not use fluids which do not meet the specifications or requirements defined. Use

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 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.

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING
Have the wheel nuts checked for
tightness and the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
TYRE REPAIR KIT
Your vehicle may not have a spare tyre. In
this case it will have an emergency tyre
repair kit that can be used to repair one
flat tyre.
The tyre repair kit is located in the spare
wheel well.
General information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent of
tyre damage, some tyres can only be
partially sealed or not sealed at all.
Loss of tyre pressure can affect vehicle
handling, leading to loss of vehicle control. Do not use the tyre repair kit if the
tyre has already been damaged as a
result of being driven under inflated.
Do not use the tyre repair kit on run
flat tyres.
Do not try to seal damage other than
that located within the visible tread
of the tyre.
Do not try to seal damage to the
tyre
’s sidewall. The tyre repair kit seals most tyre
punctures [with a diameter of up to six
millimetres (1/4 inch)] to temporarily
restore mobility.
Observe the following rules when using the
kit: •
Drive with caution and avoid
making sudden steering or driving
manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or you are towing a
trailer.
• The kit will provide you with an
emergency temporary repair, enabling
you to continue your journey to the next
vehicle or tyre dealer, or to drive a
maximum distance of 200 kilometres
(125 miles).
• Do not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h (50 mph) .
• Keep the kit out of the reach of
children.
• Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between – 30°C (-22°F)
and +70°C (+158°F).
Using the tyre repair kit WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.
Never leave the tyre repair kit
unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressor operating
for more than 10 minutes.
Note:
Use the tyre repair kit only for the
vehicle with which it was supplied.
• Park your vehicle at the roadside so
that you do not obstruct the flow of
traffic and so that you are able to use
the kit without being in danger.
• Apply the parking brake, even if you
have parked on a level road, to make
sure that the vehicle will not move.
• Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws penetrating
the tyre.
