2018 FORD FIESTA manual transmission

You may do this under the following
conditions:
•
Your vehicle is facing forward so that
it is towed in a forward direction.
• The transmission gear shift lever is
placed in position N. If the transmission
gear shift lever cannot be moved to
position
N, it may need to be
overridden. See Transmission (page
126).
• 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.
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational (RV) towing. An example
of recreational towing would be towing
your vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are designed to ensure that your
transmission is not damaged.
Vehicles with a Manual Transmission
Your vehicle can be towed with all four
wheels on the ground or with the front
wheels off the ground by using a tow dolly.
If you are using a tow dolly follow the
instructions specified by the equipment
provider. If you tow your vehicle with all
wheels on the ground, follow these
instructions:
1. Tow only with your vehicle in the forward direction. Release the parking
brake.
2. Place the transmission in neutral.
Note: Do not exceed 70 mph (113 km/h)
when towing your vehicle. Vehicles with an Automatic
Transmission - with Ignition Switch
Note:
There must be battery power to
properly move the transmission ’s internal
components to neutral in step 3. Also,
moving the gearshift to the neutral position
without first turning the ignition to the on II
position limits the towing capability to 35
mph (56 km/h) and 50 miles (80
kilometers).
1. Release the parking brake.
2. Switch the ignition to the on (
II)
position.
3. Press the brake pedal, then move the gearshift to the neutral position.
4. Wait for a message indicating that the transmission is ready in the information
and entertainment display, then switch
the ignition off and release the brake
pedal.
5. Disconnect the negative (black) cable from the battery. The anti-theft system
is disabled until the battery cable is
reconnected. See
Changing the 12V
Battery (page 193).
Note: The maximum towing speed is 70
mph (113 km/h).
Note: There is no limit on towing distance.
After towing, start the engine within 15
minutes of reconnecting the battery cable.
See
Changing the 12V Battery (page 193).
Vehicles with an Automatic
Transmission - with Keyless Starting
Note: There must be battery power to
properly move the transmission ’s internal
components to neutral in step 3. Also,
moving the gearshift to the neutral position
without first turning the ignition to the on II
position limits the towing capability to 35
mph (56 km/h) and 50 miles (80

To avoid fluid contamination, the reservoir
cap must remain in place and fully tight,
unless you are adding fluid.
Only use fluid that meets Ford
specifications. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 244).
CLUTCH FLUID CHECK -
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
The clutch and brake systems share the
same fluid reservoir. See
Brake Fluid
Check (page 192).
WASHER FLUID CHECK
When adding fluid, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. For information on fluid dilution,
refer to the product instructions. We
recommend that you only use high quality
washer fluid.
Note: The reservoir supplies the front and
rear washer systems. CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY WARNING:
Batteries normally
produce explosive gases which can cause
personal injury. Therefore, do not allow
flames, sparks or lighted substances to
come near the battery. When working near
the battery, always shield your face and
protect your eyes. Always provide correct
ventilation. WARNING:
When lifting a
plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure
on the end walls could cause acid to flow
through the vent caps, resulting in personal
injury and damage to the vehicle or battery.
Lift the battery with a battery carrier or
with your hands on opposite corners. WARNING:
Keep batteries out of
reach of children. Batteries contain sulfuric
acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Shield your eyes when working
near the battery to protect against possible
splashing of acid solution. In case of acid
contact with skin or eyes, flush
immediately with water for a minimum of
15 minutes and get prompt medical
attention. If acid is swallowed, call a
physician immediately. WARNING: Battery posts, terminals
and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling. WARNING:
This vehicle may have
more than one battery. Removing the
battery cables from only one battery does
not disconnect your vehicle electrical
system. Make sure you disconnect the
battery cables from all batteries when
disconnecting power. Failure to do so may
cause serious personal injury or property
damage.

3. Press and hold one of the preset
buttons. A progress bar and message
will appear. When the progress bar
completes the station has been stored.
The audio unit will also mute
momentarily as confirmation.
You can repeat this on each waveband and
for each preset button.
Note: When you drive to another part of the
country, stations that broadcast on
alternative frequencies and are stored on
preset buttons, may be updated with the
correct frequency and station name for that
area.
Autostore Control
Note: This will store up to a maximum of
the six strongest signals available, either
from the AM or the FM waveband and
overwrite the previously stored stations. You
can also store stations manually in the same
way as other wavebands.
• Press and hold the RADIO button.
• When the search is complete, sound is
restored and the strongest signals are
stored on the autostore presets.
Automatic Volume Control
When available, automatic volume control
adjusts the volume level to compensate
for engine noise and road speed noise.
1. Press the
MENU button and select
Audio Settings.
2. Select
Spd. Comp. Vol.
3. Use the left or right arrow button to adjust the setting.

MENU button to return. Alternative Frequencies
The majority of programs that broadcast
on the FM waveband have a program
identification code that can be recognized
by audio units.
When your vehicle moves from one
transmission area to another with the
alternative frequencies tuning switched
on, this function will search for the
strongest station signal.
Under certain conditions, alternative
frequencies tuning may temporarily disrupt
normal reception.
When selected, the unit continually
evaluates signal strength and if a better
signal becomes available, the unit will
switch to that alternative. It mutes while
it checks a list of alternative frequencies
and if necessary, it will search once across
the selected waveband for a genuine
alternative frequency.
It will restore radio reception when it finds
one or if one is not found, the unit will
return to the original stored frequency.
When selected,
AF
will be shown in the
display.
