Do not resume your journey if it
illuminates despite the level being
correct. Have the system checked by
a properly trained technician immediately. If it stays on after starting or

the front head restraints to hold the folded
seats in the upright position.
Returning the seats to the seating
position
WARNINGS
To avoid injury, take care when
folding the seats down.
Make sure that the locking hole on
the floor is clear of sand, rock or any
objects which may prevent the seat
from locking. When the retaining strap is detached
from the head restraint, it will recoil
back into the seat.
Note:
If one or both outboard seats are
folded forward together with the centre
seat, the outboard seats must be folded
back down first. Before folding the seats back down, pull
the lower bar on the rear of each seat and
check that the latches are in the extended
position.
Detach the retaining straps.
WARNING
Make sure the seat is securely locked
by pushing forward and rearward on
the top of the seatback or by trying
to pull up the edge of the cushion. 115

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Regeneration
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after DPF regeneration, and
after you have switched the engine off.
This is a potential fire hazard. CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel.
Note:
During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odour and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during regeneration and is normal.
Note: After you have switched your engine
off the fans may continue to run for a short
period of time.
Unlike a normal filter which requires
periodic replacement, the DPF has been
designed to regenerate, or clean itself to
maintain operating efficiency. The
regeneration process takes place
automatically. However, some driving
conditions mean that you may need to
support the regeneration process.
If you drive only short distances or your
journeys contain frequent stopping and
starting, where there is increased
acceleration and deceleration, occasional
trips with the following conditions will
assist the regeneration process: •
Drive your vehicle at a constant speed,
preferably on a main road or motorway,
for up to 20 minutes.
• Avoid prolonged idling and always
observe speed limits and road
conditions.
• Do not switch off the ignition.
• Use a lower gear than normal to
maintain a higher engine speed during
this journey, where appropriate.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Vehicles with a turbocharger CAUTION
Do not switch the engine off when it
is running at high speed. If you do, the
turbocharger will continue running
after the engine oil pressure has dropped
to zero. This will lead to premature
turbocharger bearing wear. Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until
the engine has reached idle speed and then
switch it off.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
CAUTION
Make sure you disconnect the power
cable from the engine heater
connector before driving away.
Note:
The engine heater connector is
located in the front bumper.

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.

Fuel and Refuelling

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving with a trailer
WARNING
If any of the conditions below cannot
be met, do not use the tow bar and
have it checked by a properly trained
technician. Before starting your journey, make sure
that the tow ball arm is properly locked.
Check that:
•
there is no warning tone when the
locking procedure has been completed
• the handwheel is in its housing and that
there is no gap
• you have locked the handwheel
(anti-clockwise) and removed the key
• the tow ball arm is locked. It must not
move when jerked.
Maintenance CAUTIONS
The towing hitch and control unit are
maintenance-free. Do not grease or
oil them.
Only the manufacturer should carry
out repairs or dismantle the towing
hitch.
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, do not direct the
spray onto the swivel joint of the tow
ball arm. 171
