Fiesta (CCT) Information Displays

Note:
When you switch the ignition off, the
transmission will carry out a series of checks.
You may hear slight clicking sounds. This is
normal.
We have designed your vehicle to improve
fuel economy by reducing fuel usage
compared to a traditional torque converter
automatic transmission. When you take
your foot off the accelerator pedal and
your vehicle begins to slow down, this can
feel like a light to medium braking
sensation.
Selector Lever Positions WARNING
You must press the brake pedal to
apply the brakes before moving the
transmission selector lever. Failure
to keep the brakes applied until you are
ready to move off may lead to an accident
or injury. ParkP

P (Park) WARNINGS
You must only select park when your
vehicle is stationary. Selecting park
when your vehicle is moving will
damage the transmission and may lead to
an accident or injury. You must move the transmission
selector lever to position park and
fully apply the parking brake before
you leave your vehicle. Failure to leave your
vehicle securely parked may lead to an
accident or injury. With the transmission selector lever in
park, power is not transmitted to the drive
wheels and the transmission is locked, your
vehicle will not move. You can start the
engine with the transmission selector lever
in park.
Note:
An audible warning will sound if you
open the driver's door and you have not
moved the transmission selector lever to
park.
R (Reverse) WARNING
You must only select reverse when
your vehicle is stationary and the
engine is at idle speed. Selecting
reverse when your vehicle is moving or at
a high engine speed may damage the
transmission or lead to an accident or
injury. 129

Hints on Driving with an Automatic
Transmission
WARNINGS
Do not apply the brake and
accelerator pedals simultaneously
for more than three seconds, this
limits engine rpm and labors the
transmission. This may make it difficult to
maintain speeds in traffic and lead to an
accident or injury. Do not idle the engine for long
periods of time in drive with the
brakes applied. This could damage
the transmission and may lead to an
accident or injury. Note:
The system carries out a series of
checks when you switch the ignition on and
off. You may hear clicking sounds. This is
normal.
Starting
1. Press the brake pedal to apply the brakes.
2. Move the transmission selector lever to reverse, drive or sport mode.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Release the brake pedal and press the
accelerator pedal.
Stopping
1. Release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Move the transmission selector lever to neutral or park. Downshift
Press the accelerator pedal fully with the
transmission selector lever in either drive,
sport mode or manual shifting position to
select a lower gear for optimum
performance. Release the accelerator
pedal when you no longer require
downshift.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud or
Snow
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
it may be rocked out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Note:
Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature,
damage to the transmission may occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more
than a minute, damage to the transmission
and tires may occur or the engine may
overheat.
Emergency Park Position Release
Lever WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are
working. Failure to adhere to warning
indicators may lead to an accident or injury. If the parking brake is fully released
but the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, the brakes may not be
working correctly. See an authorized
dealer. Failure to adhere to warning
indicators may lead to an accident or injury. Use the emergency park position release
lever to move the transmission selector
lever from the park position in the event of
a malfunction or if your vehicle battery has
no charge.

Note:
Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. Do not use engine coolant
or antifreeze or windshield washer fluid
outside of its specified function and vehicle
location.
Adding Engine Coolant WARNINGS
Do not add engine coolant when the
engine is hot. Steam and scalding
liquids released from a hot cooling
system can burn you badly. Also, you can
be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine
parts. Do not put engine coolant in the
windshield washer fluid container. If
sprayed on the windshield, engine
coolant could make it difficult to see
through the windshield. To reduce the risk of personal injury,
make sure the engine is cool before
unscrewing the coolant pressure
relief cap. The cooling system is under
pressure; steam and hot liquid can come
out forcefully when the cap is loosened
slightly. Do not add coolant further than the
MAX mark.
Note:
Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or additives as they can
cause damage to the engine cooling or
heating systems. This damage would not
be covered under your vehicle ’s warranty.
Note: During normal vehicle operation, the
engine coolant may change color from
orange to pink or light red. As long as the
engine coolant is clear and uncontaminated,
this color change does not indicate the
engine coolant has degraded nor does it
require the engine coolant to be drained, the
system to be flushed, or the engine coolant
to be replaced. •
Do not mix different colors or types of
coolant in your vehicle. Make sure the
correct coolant is used. Mixing of
engine coolants may harm your
engine ’s cooling system. The use of an
improper coolant may harm engine and
cooling system components and may
void the warranty. Use prediluted
engine coolant meeting the Ford
specification. See Maintenance (page
177).
• In case of emergency, a large amount
of water without engine coolant may
be added in order to reach a vehicle
service location. In this instance, the
cooling system must be drained,
chemically cleaned with Motorcraft®
Premium Cooling System Flush, and
refilled with engine coolant as soon as
possible. Water alone (without engine
coolant) can cause engine damage
from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
• Do not use alcohol, methanol, brine or
any engine coolants mixed with alcohol
or methanol antifreeze (coolant).
Alcohol and other liquids can cause
engine damage from overheating or
freezing.
• Do not add extra inhibitors or additives
to the coolant. These can be harmful
and compromise the corrosion
protection of the engine coolant.
Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure will
escape as you unscrew the cap.
Add prediluted engine coolant meeting the
Ford specification. See
Maintenance
(page 177).
Whenever coolant has been added, the
coolant level in the coolant reservoir
should be checked the next few times you
drive the vehicle. If necessary, add enough
prediluted engine coolant to bring the
coolant level to the proper level.

Fiesta (CCT) Maintenance

3.
Remove the air filter element from the
air filter housing.
4. Wipe any dirt or debris from the air filter
housing and cover to make sure no dirt
gets in the engine and to make sure you
have a good seal.
5. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter element
edges between the air filter housing
and cover. This could cause filter
damage and allow unfiltered air to
enter the engine if not correctly seated.
6. Install the air filter housing cover.
7. Install the retaining screws to secure the air filter housing cover to the air
filter housing.
