PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Airbags
E69198
WARNING
Do not modify the front of thevehicle in any way, as this can
adversely affect the airbagdeployment.
Note: A loud bang will be heardwhen an airbag deploys and it isnormal to see a cloud of harmlesspowdery residue.
The airbag system comprises thefollowing:
• inflatable nylon bags (airbags) withgas generators.
• crash sensors.• side airbags• a number of crash sensors• a warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
• a passenger airbag deactivationswitch
• an airbag deactivation light in theinstrument panel
• an electronic control anddiagnostic unit.
E69206
11
Occupant protection
WARNINGSRepairs to either of the frontseat covers, the sensors
attached to the seats as well as tothe roof lining should only be carriedout by properly trained technicians.Injuries may result if the side airbagsare triggered inadvertently.
Do not block, obstruct or coverthe airbag because it may
prevent proper deployment.
Do not poke any sharp objectsinto the areas where airbags are
fitted. This could damage theairbags.Do not use any accessoryseat covers that are not specificallydesigned for seats with side airbags.These seat covers must be fitted byproperly trained technicians.
E66553
WARNING
Always wear the seat belt andkeep sufficient distance
between the driver and the steeringwheel. Only when the seat belt isused properly, can it hold the bodyin a position which allows the airbagto achieve its optimum effect. Thereis a risk of injury when the airbagdeploys.
The seat and back must be setcorrectly for the airbags to beoptimally effective. See Sitting inthe correct position (page 62).
This is the ideal seating position forthe driver and front passenger andhelps reduce the risk of injury fromsitting too close to an inflating airbag.
E69199
The front airbags activate duringsignificant collisions which areeither frontal or up to 30degrees from the left or the right.The airbags inflate within a fewthousandths of a second. They willdeflate on contact with the frontoccupants thus cushioning forwardbody movement.
12
Occupant protection
E69200
During minor collisions as well asoverturns and rear or side collisions,the front airbag system will not beactivated.
E69201
WARNINGSRepairs to the steering wheel,steering column and airbag
system should be carried out byproperly trained technicians.
Always keep the areas in frontof the airbags free. Never affix
anything to or over these areas.
These areas should only be wipedwith a damp cloth, never with a wetcloth.
Side airbags
E69202
A label on the seatback indicates thatside airbags are fitted.
The side airbags are fitted on the sideof the seatbacks of the front seats.In case of a severe lateral collision,the airbag on the side affected by thecollision will be inflated.
The airbag will inflate between thedoor panel and occupant. Once theoccupant’s body contacts the airbag,the propellant escapes, therebycushioning the impact.
The side airbags are not activatedupon minor lateral collisions nor uponfront or rear impacts.
13
Occupant protection
The manufacturer of the airbag(s)fitted in this vehicle recommends thatthe airbag be replaced after 15 years.The efficiency of the propellant andthe effectiveness of the airbag maydeteriorate after this period. If youhave any doubt about the age ofyour vehicle/airbag(s), your dealer willbe pleased to check the build datefor you. The airbag system should bedisposed of only by an expert.

PRINCIPLE OFOPERATION
Outside air
Always keep the air intakes forwardof the front windscreen free of snow,leaves etc., to allow the system tofunction effectively.
Recirculated air
Note: It is not recommended to userecirculated air for more than 30minutes as there is no air exchangeand the windows may mist up.
When recirculated air is selected, onlythe air currently in the passengercompartment will be circulated.Outside air will not enter the vehicle.
Fresh air filter
The fresh air filter removes mostpotentially harmful particles such aspollen, industrial fallout and road dustfrom the air entering the vehicle’sinterior.
In an automatic car wash, you shouldswitch off the ventilation blower toprevent the filter collecting waxdeposits.
Blower
The blower motor may emit noises.
Heating
The heating depends upon thecoolant temperature and is thereforeonly effective when the engine iswarm.
Air conditioning
Note: The air conditioning systemonly operates when the temperatureis above +4 ºC, the engine is runningand the blower is switched on.Operating the air conditioning leadsto higher fuel consumption.
The air is directed through thecoolant heat exchanger where it iscooled if the air conditioning isswitched on. In addition, humidity isextracted from the air to help keepthe windows free of mist.
The resulting condensation isdirected to the outside of the vehicle.It is therefore quite normal if younotice a small pool of waterunderneath the parked vehicle.
General notes oncontrolling the climate inthe vehicle’s interior
Close all the windows completely.
To warm the interior effectively, directthe heated air to the footwell area. Incold or humid weather, direct someof the air towards the frontwindscreen and side windows.
To cool the interior effectively, directthe cooled air towards the face level.

PRINCIPLE OFOPERATION
Dual circuit braking system
WARNING
If a brake circuit fails, you will atfirst experience a softer feel to
the brake pedal. You will then needto exert a greater force on the brakepedal, and make allowance forincreased stopping distances. Havethe braking system checked by anexpert before continuing yourjourney.
E66564
Your vehicle is equipped with adiagonally split dual circuit brakingsystem. If one of the brake circuitsfails, the other remains operative.
Disc brakes
E66565
Wet brake discs result in reducedbraking efficiency.
After leaving a carwash, dab thebrake pedal while driving to removethe film of water.
Brake wear warningindicator
WARNING
When the warning sounds, havethe brake system checked by
an expert immediately.
Once the brake pads have met orexceeded their useful life, a built-insystem will cause a metallic soundupon brake application.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITHABS
WARNING
Although the ABS ensuresoptimum braking efficiency,
stopping distances can vary greatlydepending on the road surface andconditions. Use of the ABS cannoteliminate the dangers inherent indriving too close to the vehicle in frontof you, aquaplaning, excessivecornering speed or poor roadsurfaces.
E66566
74
Brakes
The ABS operates only when thewheels are about to lock. Itsoperation is indicated by a pulsing ofthe brake pedal and full steeringcontrol is retained. Do not releasethe pedal whilst braking.
PARKING BRAKE
E66567

PRINCIPLE OFOPERATION
WARNING
The parking aid is an auxiliarysystem which is not intended to
relieve the driver of his responsibilityfor exercising due care and attentionwhen reversing. In particular, someobjects close to the vehicle (approx.30 cm) and above or below thesensors may not be detected by thepark distance sensor and causedamage to the vehicle. Ultrasonicwaves, heavy rain and/or conditionscausing disruptive reflections maylead to objects not being detectedby the sensors. In addition, objectswhich absorb ultrasonic waves maynot always be detected due to theirunfavourable surface characteristics.
USING THE PARKING AID
E68984
The system is activated automaticallyafter the reverse gear is selected withthe ignition switched on.
A short tone will sound to indicatesystem readiness.
A system failure will be indicated bya deep continuous tone or by a deeptone sounding in three-secondintervals. In both cases the system isnot reliable.
Have the system checked by anexpert.
E68985
At a distance of up to 100 cmbetween the obstacle and rearbumper an intermittent soundappears. Decreasing the distanceaccelerates the intermittent sound.It turns into a continuous tone at adistance of less than 30 cm.
76

RUNNING-IN
Avoid driving too briskly during thefirst 1 500 km (1 000 miles). Vary thespeed frequently and change up agear early. Avoid labouring theengine.
New tyres require a running-indistance of approximately 500 km(300 miles). During this period, thecar may exhibit different drivingcharacteristics. Therefore, avoiddriving too briskly during the first 500km (300 miles).
If possible, you should avoid heavyuse of the brake for the first 150 km(100 miles) in town and for the first 1500 km (1 000 miles) on motorways.
From 1 500 km (1 000 miles) onwardsyou can gradually increase theperformance of your vehicle up tothe permitted maximum speeds.
We wish you safe and pleasurabledriving with your Ford vehicle.
