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.
FUEL FILLER FLAP WARNINGS
Take care when refuelling to avoid
spilling any residual fuel from the fuel
nozzle.
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. CAUTION
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel
filler flap briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). 104

B ENGINE OIL CHECK CAUTION
Do not use oil additives or other
engine treatments. Under certain
conditions, they could damage the
engine. Note:The oil consumption of new
engines reaches its normal level after approximately 5 000 kilometres (3 000miles).
Checking the oil level CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the
MIN and the MAXmarks. Note:
Check the level before starting the
engine.
Note:Make sure that your vehicle is on
level ground.
Note:Oil expands when it is hot. The level
may therefore extend a few millimetres
beyond the MAXmark.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean, lint free cloth. Replace the dipstick
and remove it again to check the oil level.
If the level is at the MINmark, top up
immediately.
