Note: Have all of your remaining keys
erased and recoded if you lose a key. Ask
your dealer for further information. Have
replacement keys recoded together with
your existing keys.
If you lose a key, you can obtain a
replacement from your Ford Dealer. If

CAUTION AIR VENTS
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to mist up. If the Centre air vents
windows mist up, follow the settings
for defrosting and demisting the
windscreen.

The air currently in the passenger

compartment will be recirculated. Outside
air will not enter the vehicle.

Heating
Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.

Air conditioning
Note: The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 4°C (39°F).
Note: If you use the air conditioning, the
fuel consumption of your vehicle will be
higher.
Air is directed through the evaporator
where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted
from the air to help keep the windows free
of mist. The resulting condensation is
directed to the outside of the vehicle and
it is therefore normal if you see a small
pool of water under your vehicle.

WARNINGS
Switch the ignition on when your

CAUTIONS
Too much tension in the tow rope
could cause damage to your vehicle
or the vehicle that is towing.
Select neutral when your vehicle is
being towed.
In the event of a breakdown or
mechanical failure do not use
individual axle carriers. Your vehicle
must be recovered with either ALL wheels
on the ground or transported with ALL
wheels lifted clear of the ground on a level
platform.

Drive off slowly and smoothly without

jerking the vehicle that is towing.

Vehicles with automatic

transmission
CAUTIONS
If a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) and a
distance of 20 kilometres (12 miles)
is to be exceeded ALL wheels must
be lifted clear of the ground.
It is recommended not to tow with the
drive wheels on the ground. However,
if it is required to move the vehicle
from a dangerous location, do not tow your
vehicle faster than 20 km/h (12 mph) or
further than 20 kilometres (12 miles).
Do not tow your vehicle backwards.

In the event of a mechanical failure of

Your engine has been designed to be used with Castrol and Ford Engine Oil, which gives
a fuel economy benefit whilst maintaining the durability of your engine.
Topping up the oil: If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined
by WSS-M2C913-C or WSS-M2C948-B (petrol engines only), you must use SAE 5W-30
that meets the specification defined by ACEA A5/B5.
Using topping up oils other than the one specified can result in longer engine cranking
periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased emission
levels.
Castrol engine oil recommended.
