2013 FORD FIESTA ECO mode

Service Engine Soon
If the service engine soon indicator light stays illuminated after
the engine is started, it indicates that the On Board Diagnostics
system (OBD) has detected a malfunction of the vehicle
emissions control system. Refer toOn board diagnostics (OBD)in the
Fuel and Refuelingchapter for more information about having your
vehicle serviced.
If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage
your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced
immediately.
Note:Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic converter or other vehicle components.
The service engine soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is
first turned on prior to engine start to check the bulb and to indicate
whether the vehicle is ready for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light will stay on until the engine is
cranked, then turn itself off if no malfunctions are present. However, if
after 15 seconds the service engine soon light blinks eight times, it
means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. SeeReadiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testingin theFuel and Refueling
chapter.
Shift Indicator (If Equipped)
It will illuminate when the manual transmission should be
shifted to a higher gear, to maximize fuel economy.
Stability Control System
It will flash when the system is active. It will illuminate when
you switch the ignition on to confirm it is functional. If it
remains illuminated or does not illuminate when you switch the
ignition on, this indicates a malfunction. During a malfunction the system
will switch off. Have the system checked by your authorized dealer.
Stability Control System Off
It will illuminate when you switch off the system. It will go out
when you switch the system back on or when you switch the
ignition off.

Always handle discs by their edges only. Clean the disc with an approved
CD cleaner only, wiping from the center of the disc toward the edge. Do
not clean in a circular motion.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended
periods of time.
MP3 Track and Folder Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and playing MP3 individual tracks
and folder structures work as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 track
mode (system default) and MP3 folder mode.
•MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.Note:The maximum
number of playable MP3 files may be less depending on the structure
of the CD and exact model of radio present.
•MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level
of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (noted
by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files, from
F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
•Creating discs with only one level of folders helps with navigation
through the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is important to understand
how the system reads the structures you create. While various files may
be present, (files with extensions other than mp3), only files with the
.mp3 extension are played; other files are ignored by the system. This
enables you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays and plays the structure as if it were
only one level deep (all .mp3 files are played, regardless of being in a
specific folder). In folder mode, the system only plays the .mp3 files in
the current folder.

Note:Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog
up.
Note:A small amount of air may be felt from the footwell air vents
regardless of the air distribution setting.
Note:To reduce humidity build-up inside your vehicle, do not drive with
the system switched off or with recirculated air always switched on.
Note:Do not place objects under the front seats as this may interfere
with the airflow to the rear seats.
Note:Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the
base of the windshield.
Note:To reduce fogging of the windshield during humid weather, adjust
the air distribution control to the windshield air vents position. Increase
the temperature and fan speed to improve clearing if required.

If your vehicle is towed from the rear with wheel lift equipment, the front
wheels must be placed on a dolly to prevent damage to the transmission.
If your vehicle is towed from the front with wheel lift equipment, it is
recommended that the rear wheels be placed on a dolly to prevent
damage to the rear fascia.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS
Emergency Towing
In the event your vehicle becomes disabled (without access to wheel
dollies, car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle), it can be
flat-towed (all wheels on the ground, regardless of the
powertrain/transmission configuration) under the following conditions:
•The vehicle is facing forward so that it is towed in a forward direction.
•The transmission is placed in N (Neutral). Refer toAutomatic
transmissionin theTransmissionchapter if you cannot move the
transmission into N (Neutral).
•Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
•Maximum distance is 50 miles (80 kilometers).
Recreational Towing
Note:Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to
prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. Refer to theClimate
Controlschapter for more information.
Note:The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no
damage is done to the internal transmission components. In addition, it is
recommended that you follow the instructions provided by the
aftermarket manufacturer of the towing equipment, if provided.
Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational (RV) towing.
An example of recreational towing would be towing your vehicle behind
a motor home. These guidelines are designed to ensure that your
transmission is not damaged.
Before you tow your vehicle, follow these directions for your specific
vehicle configurationafterit is hooked-up to the RV or tow dolly:
Vehicles with a Manual Transmission
1. Release the parking brake.
2. Move the gearshift to the neutral position.
•The maximum towing speed is 70 mph (113 km/h).
•There is no limitation on towing distance.

BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for approximately 300 miles
(480 kilometers). During this time, your vehicle may exhibit some unique
driving characteristics. Avoid driving too fast during the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers). Vary your speed frequently and change up through
the gears early. Do not labor the engine. Do not tow during the first
1000 miles (1600 kilometers).
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Fuel economy is affected by several things such as how you drive, the
conditions you drive under and how you maintain your vehicle.
There are some things to keep in mind that may improve your fuel
economy:
•Accelerate and slow down in a smooth, moderate fashion.
•Drive at steady speeds without stopping.
•Anticipate stops; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop.
•Combine errands and minimize stop-and-go driving.
•Close the windows for high-speed driving.
•Drive at reasonable speeds (traveling at 55 mph [88 km/h] uses 15%
less fuel than traveling at 65 mph [105 km/h]).
•Keep the tires properly inflated and use only the recommended size.
•Use the recommended engine oil.
•Perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.
There are also some things you may not want to do because they may
reduce your fuel economy:
•Sudden or hard accelerations.
•Rev the engine before turning it off.
•Idle for periods longer than one minute.
•Warm up your vehicle on cold mornings.
•Use the air conditioner or front defroster.
•Use the speed control in hilly terrain.
•Rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
•Drive a heavily loaded vehicle or tow a trailer.
•Carry unnecessary weight (approximately 1 mpg [0.4 km/L] is lost for
every 400 lb [180 kg] of weight carried).
