Airbags
WARNING
Do not modify the front of thevehicle in any way, as this canadversely affect the airbagdeployment.
Note: A loud bang will be heardwhen an airbag deploys and it isnormal to see a cloud of harmlesspowdery residue.
The airbag system comprises thefollowing:
•dual-stage inflatable nylon bags(airbags) with gas generators.
•side airbags
•curtain airbags
•seat belt pretensioners
•occupant sensors
•crash sensors.
•a warning lamp in the instrumentpanel.
•an electronic control anddiagnostic unit.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNINGS
Repairs to either of the frontseat covers, the sensorsattached to the seats as well as tothe roof lining should only be carriedout by properly trained technicians.Injuries may result if the side airbagsare triggered inadvertently.
Do not block, obstruct or coverthe airbag because it mayprevent proper deployment. Do notpoke any sharp objects into the areaswhere airbags are fitted. This coulddamage the airbags.
Do not use any accessory seatcovers that are not specificallydesigned for seats with side airbags.These seat covers must be fitted byproperly trained technicians.
WARNING
Always wear the seat belt andkeep sufficient distancebetween the driver and the steeringwheel. Only when the seat belt isused properly, can it hold the bodyin a position which allows the airbagto achieve its optimum effect. Thereis a risk of injury when the airbagdeploys.
The seat and back must be setcorrectly for the airbags to beoptimally effective. See Sitting in thecorrect position (page 90).
This is the ideal seating position forthe driver and front passenger andhelps reduce the risk of injury fromsitting too close to an inflating airbag.
The front airbags activate duringsignificant collisions which areeither frontal or up to 30degrees from the left or the right.The airbags inflate within a fewthousandths of a second. They willdeflate on contact with the frontoccupants thus cushioning forwardbody movement.

Occupant protectionE66553 E72325

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine During minor collisions as well asoverturns and rear or side collisions,the front airbag system will not beactivated.
WARNINGS
Repairs to the steering wheel,steering column and airbagsystem should be carried out byproperly trained technicians.
Always keep the areas in frontof the airbags free. Never affixanything to or over these areas.
These areas should only be wipedwith a damp cloth, never with a wetcloth.
Dual-stage strategy
A system of sensors in the vehiclemonitors vehicle speed, the status ofthe seat belt and the position of thedriver’s seat. In case of an accident,the system is able to analyze differentcrash and occupant conditions andactivate the appropriate safetydevices.
In most airbag deployments, the firststage is deployed to provideoccupant restraint. The second stageis deployed afterwards. In the mostsevere crash events both stages aredeployed to provide occupantrestraint.
The system increases the safetypotential particularly for drivers whoare not of a standard height or not ina standard seating position.

Note: If the vehicle is locked with thekey, this does not activate the alarmsystem (vehicles with 3.0 l Duractec−VE/-ST or 2.5l Duractec−VE engineand enhanced security).
The system is armed as soon as thevehicle is locked and acts as adeterrent to unauthorised personswho attempt to open the doors,bonnet or luggage compartment, orremove the audio system.
Interior sensors
Note: The interior sensors functioncorrectly only if all windows and thesunroof are completely closed. Inaddition to this, the sensors must notbe covered up. The system shouldnot be activated if any persons,animals or other moving objects areinside the vehicle.
Note: Do not activate the interiorsensors if an additional heatingsystem is used, as the alarm couldotherwise be set off.
The interior sensors monitor anymovement within the vehicle.
The interior sensors are activatedtogether with the double lockingsystem.
Automatic arming delay
Up to 20 seconds after activating theanti-theft alarm system, it is stillpossible to open the vehicle againwithout triggering the alarm. Afterthat, the anti-theft alarm system willmonitor all doors, the bonnet and thetailgate, provided that they areclosed.
If a door, the bonnet or the tailgate isclosed later, the system will monitorit after 20 seconds.
Alarm
The alarm sounds for 30 seconds ifan unauthorised person opens adoor, the luggage compartment orthe bonnet, or if the interior sensors(optional) register any movementinside the vehicle.
The hazard warning flashers will flashfor five minutes.
Any attempt to start the engine or toremove the audio system sounds thealarm again.
DISARMING THE ALARM

Autowipers
WARNINGS
In icy conditions, make sure thatthe windscreen has been fullydefrosted before selectingautowipers.
Switch off the autowipersfeature before entering a carwash.
Replace the wiper blades assoon as they begin to leavebands of water and smears or whenthey do not completely remove waterfrom the windscreen. If the bladesare not replaced, the rain sensor willcontinue to detect water on thewindscreen. This will result in thewipers continuing to operatealthough the majority of thewindscreen is dry.
Note: The autowipers feature isintended for use during wet weatherconditions only and is very sensitiveto anything which touches thewindscreen near to the rain sensor.Objects such as dirt, mist or flieshitting the windscreen in this locationmay cause the wipers to wipe eventhough the windscreen is mostly dry.
Note: The autowipers feature shouldnot be selected when it is snowing,foggy or when the roads have beensalted. In these weather conditions,select an alternative position ifnecessary.

OPERATION
WARNING
The parking aid is an auxiliarysystem which is not intended torelieve the driver of his responsibilityfor exercising due care and attentionwhen reversing. In particular, someobjects close to the vehicle (approx.30 cm) and above or below thesensors may not be detected by thepark distance sensor and causedamage to the vehicle. Ultrasonicwaves, heavy rain and/or conditionscausing disruptive reflections maylead to objects not being detectedby the sensors. In addition, objectswhich absorb ultrasonic waves maynot always be detected due to theirunfavourable surface characteristics.
USING THE PARKING AID
WARNING
Be careful when a tow bar isinstalled.
Note: If the vehicle is fitted with anoriginal Ford fixed tow bar, particularcare must be taken when reversing.
The system is activated automaticallyafter the reverse gear is selected withthe ignition switched on. A short tonewill sound to indicate systemreadiness.
The measuring range is divided intofive warning zones. As the distanceto an obstacle reduces, a warningsounds, beginning as a slow bleepand increasing to a continuous tone.
A system failure will be indicated bya deep continuous tone or a deeptone sounding in three-secondintervals. Have the system checkedby an expert.
Vehicles with Original Ford towingequipment, whether fixed ordetachable, will indicate the distancefrom the bumper to the obstacle.
Always keep the sensors free fromdirt, ice and snow (do not clean withsharp objects).
