PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The engine immobiliser is a theft
protection system that prevents someone
from starting the engine with an
incorrectly coded key.
CODED KEYS
Note:Do not shield your keys with metal
objects. This may prevent the receiver from recognising your key as a valid one.
Note:Have all of your remaining keys
erased and recoded if you lose a key. Ask your dealer for further information. Havereplacement keys recoded together withyour existing keys.
If you lose a key, you can obtain a
replacement from your Ford Dealer. If
possible, provide them with the key
number from the tag provided with the
original keys. You can also obtain
additional keys from your Ford Dealer.
ARMING THE ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
The engine immobiliser is armed
automatically a short time after you have
switched the ignition off.
DISARMING THE ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
The engine immobiliser is disarmed
automatically when you switch the ignition
on with a correctly coded key. The indicator in the instrument cluster will
come on for approximately three seconds
and then go out. If the indicator stays on
for one minute or flashes for
approximately one minute and then
repeatedly at irregular intervals, your key
has not been recognised. Remove the
key and try again.
If you are unable to start the engine with
a correctly coded key, this indicates a
malfunction. Have the immobiliser
checked immediately.

Engine immobiliser

If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop the engine,
switch the ignition off and determine the
cause
once the engine has cooled
down. See Engine coolant check
(page 148).
Fuel gauge
The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump
symbol indicates on which side of the
vehicle the fuel filler cap is located.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators illuminate when the ignition is
switched on:
• Airbag
• Oil pressure
• ABS
• Stability control (ESP)
• Engine
• Doors open
• Brake system
• Frost
• Power steering
• Ignition
If a warning or indicator lamp does not
illuminate when the ignition is switched
on, it indicates a malfunction. Have the
system checked by properly trained
technician.
ABS warning lamp If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. You will continue
to have normal braking (without ABS).
Have the system checked by a properly
trained technician as soon as possible. Airbag warning lamp If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Have the system
checked by a properly trained technician.
Brake system lamp It illuminates when the parking
brake is engaged.
WARNING
Reduce your speed gradually and
stop your vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so. Use your brakes with
care. If it illuminates when you are driving, check
that the parking brake is not engaged. If
the parking brake is not engaged, this
indicates a malfunction. Have the system
checked by a properly trained technician
immediately.
Cruise control indicator
It will illuminate when you have
set a speed using the cruise
control system. See
Using
cruise control (page 120).
Direction indicators Flashes during operation. A
sudden increase in the rate of
flashing warns of a failed
indicator bulb. See Changing a bulb
(page 52).
Doors open warning lamp Illuminates when the ignition is

Engine warning lamp
If it illuminates with the engine
running, this indicates a
malfunction. If it flashes when
you are driving, reduce the speed of
your vehicle immediately. If it
continues to flash, avoid heavy
acceleration or deceleration. Have the
system checked by a properly trained
technician immediately. CAUTION
If the engine warning lamp illuminates
in conjunction with a message, have
the system checked as soon as
possible. Front fog lamp indicator
It will illuminate when you switch
the front fog lamps on.
Frost warning lamp WARNING
Even if the temperature rises to
above +4ºC there is no guarantee
that the road is free of hazards
caused by inclement weather. It will illuminate and glow orange
when the outside air
temperature is between 4ºC
(39ºF) and 1ºC (34ºF). It will glow red when
the temperature is below 1ºC (34ºF).
Glow plug indicator See (page 101). Headlamp indicator It will illuminate when you switch
the headlamp dipped beam or
the side and tail lamps on.
Ignition warning lamp If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Switch off all
unnecessary electrical equipment. Have
the system checked by a properly trained
technician immediately.
Low fuel level warning lamp If it illuminates, refuel as soon as
possible.
Main beam indicator It will illuminate when you switch
the headlamp main beam on. It
will flash when you use the
headlamp flasher.
Message indicator It will illuminate when a new
message is stored in the
information display. See
Information messages (page 73).
Oil pressure warning lamp CAUTION
Do not resume your journey if it
illuminates despite the level being
correct. Have the system checked
by a properly trained technician
immediately. 65
Instruments

If it stays on after starting or
illuminates when driving, this
indicates a malfunction. Stop
your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so
and switch the engine off. Check the
engine oil level. See Engine oil check
(page 147).
Power steering warning lamp It illuminates to indicate a
malfunction of the power
steering system. Full steering
will be maintained but you will need to
exert greater force on the steering wheel.
Have the system checked by a properly
trained technician as soon as possible.
Rear fog lamp indicator It will illuminate when you switch
the rear fog lamps on.
Seat belt reminder See
Seat belt reminder
(page 24).
Shift indicator It will illuminate to inform you
that shifting to a higher gear
may give better fuel economy
and lower CO2 emissions. It will not
illuminate during periods of high
acceleration, braking or when the clutch
pedal is pressed. Stability control (ESP) indicator While driving, it flashes during
activation of the system. After
switching on the ignition, if it
does not illuminate or illuminates
continuously while driving, this indicates
a malfunction. During a malfunction, the
system switches off. Have the system
checked by a properly trained technician
as soon as possible.
If you switch ESP off, the warning lamp
will illuminate. The lamp will go out when
you switch the system back on or when
you switch the ignition off.
AUDIBLE WARNINGS AND
INDICATORS
Automatic transmission
If position Pis not selected, a warning
chime will sound when the driver’s door
is opened.
Frost WARNING
Even if the temperature rises to
above +4ºC there is no guarantee
that the road is free of hazards
caused by inclement weather. A warning chime will sound in the following
conditions:
•
+4ºC or lower: frost warning
• 0ºC or lower: danger of icy roads.
Key outside car
Vehicles with keyless entry
If the engine is running and a passive key

GENERAL INFORMATION
General points on starting
If the battery has been disconnected the
vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approx. 8 kilometres
(5 miles) after reconnecting the battery.
This is because the engine management
system must realign itself with the engine.
Any unusual driving characteristics during
this period may be disregarded.
Starting the engine by towing
or pushing
WARNING
To prevent damage you must not
push or tow start your vehicle. Use
booster cables and a booster
battery. See Using booster cables
(page 154). KEYLESS STARTING

CAUTIONS
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See
Using booster cables
(page 154).Do not switch the ignition off when
driving.
REFUELLING
CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the engine if
you have filled the fuel tank with the
incorrect fuel. This could damage the
engine. Have the system checked by a
properly trained technician immediately. FUEL CONSUMPTION
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures
are derived from laboratory tests
according to EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC
and subsequent amendments and are
carried out by all vehicle manufacturers.
They are intended as a comparison
between makes and models of vehicles.
They are not intended to represent the
real world fuel consumption you may get
from your vehicle. Real world fuel
consumption is governed by many factors
including; driving style, high speed driving,
stop/start driving, air conditioning usage,
the accessories fitted and towing etc.
Your Ford dealer can give you advice on
improving your fuel consumption.
