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
5000 kilometres (3000 miles).
Checking the oil level CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
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 MAX mark.
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 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.
Remove the filler cap.
CAUTION
Do not top up further than the MAX
mark.
Top up with fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 192).
Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel
a strong resistance.

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.

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.

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 CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
WARNING
If you use a car wash with a waxing
cycle, make sure that you remove the
wax from the windscreen.
CAUTIONS
Prior to using a car wash facility check
the suitability of it for your vehicle.
Some car wash installations use
water at high pressure. This could
damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Remove the aerial before using an
automatic car wash.
Switch the heater blower off to
prevent contamination of the fresh air
filter.
We recommend that you wash your vehicle
with a sponge and lukewarm water
containing a car shampoo.
Cleaning the headlamps
CAUTIONS
Do not scrape the headlamp lenses
or use abrasives, alcoholic solvents or
chemical solvents to clean them.
Do not wipe the headlamps when
they are dry.
Cleaning the rear window
CAUTION
Do not scrape the inside of the rear
window or use abrasives or chemical
solvents to clean it.
Use a clean, lint free cloth or a damp
chamois leather to clean the inside of the
rear window. Cleaning the chrome trim CAUTION
Do not use abrasives or chemical
solvents. Use soapy water.
Body paintwork preservation
CAUTIONS
Do not polish your vehicle in strong
sunshine.
Do not allow polish to touch plastic
surfaces. It could be difficult to
remove.
Do not apply polish to the windscreen
or rear window. This could cause the
wipers to become noisy and they may
not clear the window properly. We recommend that you wax the
paintwork once or twice a year.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Do not use abrasives, or chemical
solvents to clean them.
Do not allow moisture to penetrate
the seat belt retractor mechanism.

the seat belts dry naturally, away from
artificial heat.

Vehicle Care

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 you are unsure what type of spare
wheel you have do not exceed 80
km/h (50 mph).
Only fit snow chains to specified
tyres. See Technical
Specifications (page 209).
CAUTION
The ground clearance of your vehicle
may 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.
