Note:
You can only operate the starter for
a maximum of 30 seconds at a time.
Cold or hot engine
All vehicles CAUTION
When the temperature is below -20°C
(-4°F), switch the ignition on for at
least one second before starting the
engine. This will make sure that the
maximum fuel pressure is established for
starting the engine. Vehicles with manual transmission
Note:
Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully depress the clutch pedal.
2. Start the engine.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Select park or neutral.
2. Fully depress the brake pedal.
3. Start the engine.
All vehicles
If the engine does not start within 15
seconds, wait for a short period and try
again.
If the engine does not start after three
attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow the
Flooded engine procedure.

4. Start the engine.
All vehicles
If the engine does not start, repeat the
Cold or hot engine procedure.
Engine idle speed after starting
The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting will vary
depending on the engine temperature.
If the engine is cold then the idle speed will
automatically be increased in order to heat
the catalytic converter as quickly as
possible. This makes sure that vehicle
emissions are kept to an absolute
minimum.
The idle speed will slowly decrease to the
normal level as the catalytic converter
warms up.
STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE
Cold or hot engine
All vehicles
Note: When the temperature is below -15°C
(5°F), you may need to crank the engine for
up to 25 seconds.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle
stops the second time. Additional
fuel will fill the expansion space in
the fuel tank which could lead to fuel
overflowing. Fuel spillage could be
hazardous to other road users. Do not use any kind of flames or heat
near the fuel system. The fuel system
is under pressure. There is a risk of
injury if the fuel system is leaking. FUEL QUALITY - PETROL
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with
additives containing other metallic
compounds (e.g. manganese-based).
They could damage the emission system. Note:
We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel without additives or other
engine treatments.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded
petrol that meets the specification defined
by EN 228, or equivalent.
FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL WARNING
Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or
other liquids. This could cause a
chemical reaction.
CAUTIONS
Do not add kerosene, paraffin or
petrol to diesel. This could cause
damage to the fuel system. CAUTIONS
Use diesel that meets the
specification defined by EN 590, or
the relevant national specification.
Note:
We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel.
Note: The use of additives or other engine
treatments not approved by Ford is not
recommended.
Note: We do not recommend the prolonged
use of additives intended to prevent fuel
waxing.
Long-term storage
Most diesel fuels contain bio-diesel, it is
recommended to fill the tank with purely
mineral diesel (where available) or add an
anti-oxidant prior to long-term storage of
your vehicle exceeding two months. Your
dealer can help you with a suitable
anti-oxidant.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during use, and after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard. Driving with a catalytic converter
CAUTIONS
Avoid running out of fuel.
Do not crank the engine for long
periods.
Do not run the engine when a spark
plug lead is disconnected.
