Units of measure
To toggle between metric andimperial units, scroll to this display andpress the SET/RESET button.
Toggling the units of measure usingthis display will affect the followingdisplays:
•Distance to empty
•Average fuel consumption
•Instantaneous fuel consumption
•Average speed
•Outside air temperature
•The temperature display in theautomatic climate control.
The units of measure for outside airtemperature and the automaticclimate control can be toggledindependent of the other displays.See General information (page96).

Information displays

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of thewindscreen free from obstruction(snow, leaves etc.) to allow theclimate control system to functioneffectively.
Recirculated air
CAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated airmay cause the windows to mistup. If the windows mist up, follow thesettings for defrosting and demistingthe windscreen.
The air currently in the passengercompartment will be recirculated.Outside air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends onthe temperature of the enginecoolant.
Air conditioning
Note:The air conditioning operatesonly when the temperature is above4ºC (39ºF).
Note:If you use the air conditioning,the fuel consumption of your vehiclewill be higher.
Air is directed through the evaporatorwhere it is cooled. Humidity isextracted from the air to help keepthe windows free of mist. Theresulting condensation is directed tothe outside of the vehicle and it istherefore normal if you see a smallpool of water under your vehicle.
General information oncontrolling the interiorclimate
Fully close all the windows.
Warming the interior
Direct the air towards your feet. Incold or humid weather conditions,direct some of the air towards thewindscreen and the door windows.
Cooling the interior
Direct the air towards your face.

WARNINGS
Stop refuelling after the fuelnozzle stops the second time.Additional fuel will fill the expansionspace in the fuel tank which couldlead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillagecould be hazardous to other roadusers.
Do not use any kind of flamesor heat near the fuel system.The fuel system is under pressure.There is a risk of injury if the fuelsystem is leaking.
FUEL QUALITY - PETROL
Note:We recommend that you useonly high quality fuel without additivesor other engine treatments.
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol orpetrol with additives containingother metallic compounds (e.g.manganese-based). They coulddamage the emission system.
Use minimum 95 octaneunleaded petrol that meets thespecification defined by EN 228, orequivalent.
FUEL QUALITY -
FLEXIBLE FUEL
WARNINGS
Do not modify the fuel systemconfiguration or thecomponents in the system.
Do not replace the fuel systemor the components with partsnot specially designed to be usedwith bio ethanol.
CAUTIONS
Do not use leaded petrol orpetrol with additives containingother metallic compounds (e.g.manganese-based). They coulddamage the emission system.
Do not use methanol instead ofbio ethanol E 85
Note:We recommend that you useonly high quality fuel without additivesor other engine treatments.
Note:When using bio ethanol E 85,you may experience a higher fuelconsumption.
Note:The correct fuel type for yourvehicle is shown on a decal on theinside of the fuel filler flap.
Note:Your vehicle will operate wellon commercial quality 95 octaneunleaded petrol, but only high qualitybio ethanol E 85 offers the sameprotection and performance.

Note:Central locking also locks andunlocks the fuel filler flap. See Locks(page 40).
Open the flap fully until it engages.Turn the fuel filler cap anti-clockwise.
When the filler cap is removed, ahissing noise may be heard. This isnormal and should be disregarded.
To close, turn the cap clockwise untilit clicks.
REFUELLING
CAUTION
Do not attempt to start theengine if you have filled the fueltank with the incorrect fuel. This coulddamage the engine. Have the systemchecked by a properly trainedtechnician immediately.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The CO2 and fuel consumptionfigures are derived from laboratorytests according to EEC Directive80/1268/EEC and subsequentamendments and are carried out byall vehicle manufacturers.
They are intended as a comparisonbetween makes and models ofvehicles. They are not intended torepresent the real world fuelconsumption you may get from yourvehicle. Real world fuel consumptionis governed by many factorsincluding; driving style, high speeddriving, stop/start driving, airconditioning usage, the accessoriesfitted and towing etc.
Your Ford dealer can give you adviceon improving your fuel consumption.
