The rotary control can be used to adjust

Some models without autowipers are
fitted with a speed-dependent front screen
wiper system.
When the vehicle is slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
wiper speed will automatically switch to
the next lower wiper speed setting.
When the vehicle speed is increased, the
wiper speed will return to the
manually-chosen setting.
Moving the wiper lever when the system is
operating will switch off the system.
If the vehicle is again slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
system is reactivated.
AUTOWIPERS
CAUTIONS
Do not switch autowipers on in dry
weather conditions. The rain sensor
is very sensitive and the wipers may
operate if dirt, mist or flies hit the
windscreen. Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to leave bands of water
and smears. If you do not replace
them, the rain sensor will continue to
detect water on the windscreen and the
wipers will operate, even though the
majority of the windscreen is dry. Fully defrost the windscreen in icy
conditions before you switch
autowipers on.
Switch autowipers off before you
enter a car wash.
Note:
If autolamps have been switched on
in conjunction with autowipers, dipped
headlamps will illuminate automatically
when the rain sensor activates the
windscreen wipers continuously.

ROOF RACKS AND LOAD
CARRIERS
Roof rack WARNINGS
If you use a roof rack, the fuel
consumption of your vehicle will be
higher and you may experience
different driving characteristics. Read and follow the manufacturer
’s
instructions when you are fitting a
roof rack. CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible roof load of 75
kilogrammes (165 pounds) (including
the roof rack). Check the security of the roof rack and
tighten its fittings as follows: •
before starting
• after driving 50 kilometres (30 miles)
• at 1000 kilometres (600 miles)
intervals.
To reduce fuel consumption, cross rails
should be removed when not in use.
Installing the crossbars WARNING
Distribute the load evenly over the
loading area and keep the centre of
gravity as low as possible. Secure the
load well to prevent it from slipping. Never
place any loads directly onto the roof
surface. CAUTION
Remove the crossbars before entering
an automatic car wash.
Note:
The side mounting tracks are
designed such that crossbars (for bicycle
carriers, ski carriers etc.) from the Ford
accessories range can be fitted.
Note: Before installing the crossbars, clean
the side mounting tracks with water and a
sponge.
Note: Position the crossbars as shown. 120 mm (4.7 inches)

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.
