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

The transmission selector lever position
will be shown in the information display.
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
Fiesta (CCT) TransmissionE161746

With the transmission selector lever in
reverse, power is transmitted to the drive
wheels to allow your vehicle to move
backward.
Note:
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting the transmission selector
lever out of reverse.
N (Neutral)
With the transmission selector lever in
neutral, power is not transmitted to the
drive wheels and the transmission is not
locked, it is possible your vehicle will move
if the brakes are not applied. You can start
the engine with the transmission selector
lever in this position.
D (Drive)
With the transmission selector lever in
drive, your vehicle will shift automatically
through the forward gears.
The transmission will select the
appropriate gear for optimum vehicle
performance and economy based on
ambient temperature, road gradient,
vehicle load, speed and your driving style.
Drive mode provides a downshift function.
See Downshift in this section.
Note: A shift will occur only when your
vehicle and engine speeds are appropriate.
Note: You may temporarily override the
current gear selected using the
+ or -
buttons.
Sport Mode and Manual Shifting
Sport Mode
With the transmission selector lever in
sport mode, gears are selected quicker and
at higher engine speeds. Sport mode will remain on until you either
shift manually up or down the gears using
the
+ or - buttons on the side of the
transmission selector lever or you move
the transmission selector lever to drive.
Sport mode also provides a downshift
function. See
Downshift in this section.
Manual Shifting WARNING
Do not permanently hold the
+ or -
buttons in. This may damage the
transmission and may lead to an
accident or injury. Press the
+ button to shift up and the -
button to shift down.
Gears may be skipped by pressing the + or
-
buttons repeatedly at short intervals.
We recommend you upshift according to
the following guide to achieve the best fuel
economy for your vehicle. Recommended

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.
