Petrol Falcons are not compatible with LPG system fitment. LPG system fitment on petrol Falcons may compromise safe vehicle operation, reduce the life of certain engine components and result in non-compliance with emission regulations. Ford does not warrant or take responsibility for any defect caused by or attributed to fitment of LPG systems to a petrol vehicle. 5. Fasten seatbelts. 6. Check the operation of instrument cluster warning lights when the ignition switch is turned to the ‘ON’ position. 7. Check all gauges. 8. Release the parking brake fully and make sure the park brake warning light goes out. 9. Operate your vehicle safely and ensure it is maintained in a proper and safe condition. Your authorised Ford dealer is available to advise and assist you in the proper maintenance of your vehicle. Before driving your new vehicle, a number of preliminary checks should be performed. FUEL PRIMING (EcoLPi only) Before Entering the Vehicle When you open your vehicle, the electronic engine control system is ‘woken up’. At this point, a clicking noise may be heard from the vehicle. 1. Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks. 2. Be sure that all windows, outside rearview mirrors and outside lights are clean. 3. Check that tyres are fully inflated. 4. Be sure the area to the rear is clear if you intend to reverse. Before Driving Off 1. Be sure you are familiar with your vehicle and its operating controls. 2. Position the seat so that all controls are easily reached. 3. Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirrors. 4. Be sure that all lights work. When the driver door is opened or closed, the fuel system is made ready for an engine start. This may require a fuel system ‘prime’ to deliver liquid fuel to the engine. You may at this point hear a click and the fuel pump running. Note: Under some conditions the pump may run for eight seconds when the driver door is opened or closed. On other occasions it may not need to run at all. When the ignition key is turned all the way to the ‘START (III)’ position and released (‘One Touch Start’ mode), the fuel system begins an additional prime, but the engine will not begin to crank until all priming is complete. Note: The time taken to prime the EcoLPi fuel system may be longer than a -5- Introduction petrol engine. this manual after this initial period. From 1,500 km onwards, you can gradually increase the performance demand of your vehicle up to the permitted maximum speeds. When the prime is complete, the starter motor is then automatically engaged and the engine begins to crank and start. An instrument cluster pop-up message, ‘FUEL PRIME IN PROGRESS PLEASE WAIT’ is displayed if the fuel system priming takes longer than 1.5 seconds. While this message is displayed, the engine will not crank. Note: If during fuel system priming the ignition key is turned to the ‘OFF(0)’ position, the priming procedure is aborted and the fuel pump stops. Note: If the ignition key is rotated to the ‘ON (II)’ position, and NOT to the ‘START (III)’ position, the fuel priming occurs as above, but engine cranking does not take place when priming is complete. An instrument cluster pop-up message ‘READY TO START’ is displayed instead. RUNNING IN By following a few simple precautions for the first 1,500 km, you may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle: 1. Do not race the engine. 2. Do not allow the engine to idle for excessive periods of time. 3. Drive at varying speeds without straining the engine. 4. Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies. 5. Avoid full throttle starts. 6. Do not tow a trailer weighing in excess of 500 kg for the first 1,500 km and follow the instructions provided in the towing section of WARNINGS You risk death or serious injury to yourself and others if you do not follow the instructions highlighted by the warning symbol. Always drive with due care and attention when using and operating the controls and features on your vehicle. Always observe the local speed limit and drive safely, adjusting your driving to suit the road and weather conditions. Note: This manual describes product features and options available throughout the range, sometimes even before they are generally available. It may describe options not fitted to your vehicle. Note: Some of the illustrations in this manual may be used for different models, so may appear different to your vehicle. However the essential information in the illustrations is always correct. Note: Always use and operate your vehicle in line with all applicable laws and regulations. Note: Pass on this manual when selling your vehicle. It is an integral part of the vehicle. -6- Quick Start This Quick Start guide provides a brief introduction to some of the advanced features of the Falcon ‘FG X’ ute range.

WARNING `To avoid the possibility of loss of control, the cruise control should not be used in heavy traffic (city driving) or on winding, slippery or unsealed roads. The cruise control system attempts to maintain the vehicle speed set by the driver. The system has a set speed display in the Multifunction Display (MFD). When the cruise control is set, it shows the speed the cruise control is trying to achieve. When in coast, it shows the previously set speed. The MFD indicates when the cruise control is enabled and ready to be set. The ‘CRUISE CONTROL UNAVAILABLE’ pop-up may display if the cruise control is not ready or there is a fault in the system. To Set a Speed With the cruise control enabled, press either of the ‘SET’ switches located on the steering wheel to set and store the current vehicle speed. Illuminated if CRUISE is enabled CRUISE SET speed The cruise control system has been designed to allow easy setting to speed ‘zones’. For convenience, there is an indexing capability which adjusts the set speed to the next speed zone up or down as directed by the driver; for example, 60 km/h, 70 km/h, 80 km/h and so on. The ‘CRUISE SET’ indicator (Green) illuminates, a pop-up is displayed in the main screen for two seconds and the set speed is displayed. Speed Adjustment The cruise control system provides two methods for adjusting the set speed. These are ‘Coarse’ and ‘Fine’ adjustment. -9- Quick Start Fine Adjustment Coarse Adjustment (‘Indexing’): Fine adjustment is possible by tapping either SET+ or SET- . This adjusts the set speed up or down by an increment of 1 km/h. Example 1 Current vehicle speed 74 km/h Desired cruise speed 100 km/h • Index UP. 74 km/h indexes to 80 km/h • Index UP. 80 km/h indexes to 90 km/h • Index UP. 90 km/h indexes to 100 km/h Index Set Speed 74 km/h Coarse Adjustment (‘Indexing’) A coarse adjustment is possible by ‘indexing’. To index press and hold either SET+ or SET-. Release when the set display rounds up or down to the next 10 km/h increment. If a further index is required, the process is repeated. Index Set Speed 80 km/h Index Set Speed 90 km/h Set Speed 100 km/h Example 2 Current vehicle speed 74 km/h Desired cruise speed 50 km/h • Index DOWN. 74 km/h indexes to 70 km/h • Index DOWN. 70 km/h indexes to 60 km/h • Index DOWN. 60 km/h indexes to 50 km/h Index Set Speed 74 km/h -10- Index Set Speed 70 km/h Index Set Speed 60 km/h Set Speed 50 km/h Quick Start Alternative Coarse Adjustment The cruise control system will also be temporarily disengaged by the following: An alternate coarse adjustment is also possible by holding either SET+ or SET-. The vehicle accelerates/decelerates at a constant rate. When accelerating, the set speed indexes up when the vehicle speed becomes 10 km/h greater than the set speed. When decelerating, the set speed indexes down when the vehicle speed becomes 10 km/h less than the set speed. Release at the desired set speed. Pedal Override • Pressing either the brake or clutch pedal. • Manually selecting a gear lower than second gear. • Manually selecting neutral transmission position. To Resume To resume cruise control, momentarily press the ‘RES COAST’ button. The vehicle adjusts its speed to match the last set speed displayed on the instrument cluster. The resume feature does not work if the vehicle speed is below approximately 40 km/h. The cruise control may be overridden by use of the accelerator pedal for overtaking and so on. When the pedal is released, the vehicle returns to the set speed shown. Note: The speed of the vehicle cannot be automatically controlled until the vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h. If the driver accelerates, the car to a higher road speed than the set speed shown on the cluster and presses either the SET+ or SET- buttons, the cruise control automatically sets to the new road speed. This is also the case if the vehicle picks up speed going down a hill and the driver presses SET+. To Coast The cruise control can be temporarily disengaged by momentarily pressing the ‘RES COAST’ button. The ‘CRUISE SET’ indicator (Green) goes off and the set speed display has a strike-through. Note: The cruise control system is disengaged if the vehicle experiences a Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) intervention. Note: The cruise control system may not be able to maintain the set speed in certain circumstances (for example, driving up steep hills). If the vehicle speed drops below the set speed by 13-23 km/h, the cruise control system may automatically disengage. You need to manually control the vehicle speed during this time and may resume afterwards. Full details on how to use the cruise control are found in the ‘Cruise Control’ section of this manual. -11- Quick Start MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY The Multifunction Display (MFD) is located between the speedometer and tachometer.

Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them. Children must always be properly restrained. This section provides useful information on the installation and safe use of child restraints. Ford strongly recommends that you read and understand this section before carrying children in your vehicle. Read and follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions when you are fitting a child restraint. Do not alter or modify child restraints in any way. It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that the children are seated in suitable child restraints prescribed by the laws of the State or Territory in which the vehicle is operated. Do not hold a child on your lap when the vehicle is moving. If you are in any doubt about the laws that apply in your location, please consult your local Authorised Ford Dealer or Local Approved Child Restraint Fitting Station for assistance. WARNING EXTREME HAZARD! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it. Do not leave children unattended in your vehicle. On hot days, the temperature inside the vehicle can rise very quickly. Exposure of people or animals to these high temperatures for even a short time can cause death or serious heat related injuries, including brain damage Small children are particularly at risk. Destroy the child restraint if it has been in a severe crash, even if no damage is visible. E211048 -17- Child Safety INSTALLING A CHILD RESTRAINT Selecting a Child Restraint System To provide protection, a child restraint system should meet three requirements. 1. 2. 3. The child restraint system complies with Australian Standard AS1754. Infants and children must be properly restrained at all times in an approved child restraint which conforms to Australian Standards AS1754 - 2004 or later. Look for the Australian Standard Approval Mark on the child restraint. The child restraint must be suitable for the size and weight of the child and must be properly fitted and adjusted. Use the child restraint exactly as shown in the instructions provided with the child restraint. If you have any doubts, contact the child restraint manufacturer or consult an approved Restraint Fitting Station. The child restraint system should fit the vehicle seating position (or positions) where it will be used. Due to variations in the design of child restraint systems, vehicle seats and seatbelts, all child restraint systems may not fit all seating positions. Before purchasing a child restraint system, it is recommended that the child restraint system is tested in the specific vehicle seating position (or positions) where it is intended to be used. If a previously purchased child restraint does not fit, you may need to purchase a different one that will fit. WARNINGS EXTREME HAZARD! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it. Incorrectly fitted child restraints may swing, tip or come away causing death or injury. Do not use a child restraint if the tether strap falls into a split in the vehicle seat back or falls off the edge of the vehicle seat. After installing a child restraint system, push and pull the system forward and back and from side to side to verify that it is secured. Be sure to read and follow the instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer. If you have any doubts contact the child restraint manufacturer or consult an approved Restraint Fitting Station. Your automobile club or local vehicle registration authority can provide location details of fitting stations. When installing the child restraint attaching clip to the anchor fitting, raise the head restraint (where fitted) and pass the tether strap between the head restraint supports. This will prevent the tether strap from falling off the outboard edge of the seating positions. -18- Child Safety When a child restraint system is not being used, either remove it and store it in a safe place, or make sure it is properly secured. An unsecured child restraint system can be thrown around the vehicle in a collision or sudden stop and injure someone. Child Restraint Anchorage Fitting Locations WARNING Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitting child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seatbelts, harnesses or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle. One child restraint anchorage point is located behind the passenger seat. To gain access to the anchorage point, it is necessary to remove the small plug from the anchorage to install the appropriate bolt, lock washer, anchor fitting and spacer (where required). The anchorage components must be selected and assembled as shown in the following illustration. Anchorage points for the installation of child restraint anchor fittings are provided in the locations shown in the illustration. -19- Child Safety Anchor Fitting Installation Do not attach a tether strap to anything other than the correct tether anchor point The above illustration shows the following: 1. How to install an anchor fitting to the anchorage point. 2. The correct method of attachment and orientation of the child restraint attaching clip to the anchor fitting. The anchor fitting can be purchased from your Ford dealer, child restraint manufacturer or supplier. Install the standard 30 mm bolt and the recommended spacer (total thickness 10 mm), together with the anchor fitting (and cover if applicable) and lock washer supplied with the child restraint as illustrated. The bolt thread should protrude at least 10 mm beyond the spacer, with the lock washer, anchor fitting and spacer assembled together. Tighten the bolt with the anchor fitting facing toward the front of the vehicle as shown. WARNINGS Where it is legally allowable to use a forward facing child restraint, always move the seat to its rearmost position and adjust the seatback angle to suit the child restraint. Incorrectly fitted child restraints may swing, tip or come away, causing death or injury. Illustrations of the restraint attachment clip and anchor fitting are only applicable to child restraint attachment clips conforming to AS1754-2004 or later. These can be purchased from your Ford dealer, child restraint manufacturers or suppliers. If your child restraint does not have an approved latched hook attachment clip as shown, you should consult an approved restraint fitting station. PROTECTING LARGER CHILDREN When a child outgrows the recommended weight or height limits for a forward facing child restraint system, the child should sit on a booster seat and wear a lap-sash seatbelt. The raised seating position will allow you to position the shoulder strap of the adult seatbelt over the centre of your child’s shoulder and the lap strap tightly across its hips. A booster seat should be used until the child is tall enough for the lap-sash seatbelt to fit properly. Do not over-tighten the attachment bolt. Maximum Torque: 20Nm Always ensure that the attaching clip is properly engaged with the anchor fitting. Ensure the top tether strap is not slack or twisted. Adjust the top tether strap length to remove any slack. -20- Child Safety Typical Booster Seat E70710 WARNINGS Do not install a booster seat with only the lap strap of the seatbelt. Do not install a booster seat with a seatbelt that is slack or twisted. Checking Seatbelt Fit If the lap-sash seatbelt touches or crosses the child’s neck, then the child needs a booster seat. WARNINGS Never wear a seatbelt across the neck. This could result in serious neck injury in the event of a collision. Do not put the seatbelt under your child’s arm or behind its back. Do not use pillows, books or towels to boost your child’s height. Make sure that your children sit in an upright position. -21- Seatbelts PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION WARNINGS WARNINGS The wearing of a seatbelt is a mandatory requirement. Seatbelts should be properly fastened and adjusted before the vehicle is driven. Adjust the driver’s seat position before fastening the seatbelt. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if the webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged. Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided. No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seatbelt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seatbelt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack. Wear a seatbelt and keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. Only when you use the seatbelt properly, can it hold you in position to achieve its optimum effect. Lap-Sash Belts Never use a seatbelt for more than one person; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant’s lap. Use the correct buckle for each seatbelt. Seatbelts are designed to be used by adult sized occupants. These belts are fitted to all seating positions. Lap-sash belts allow freedom of movement but will lock when the webbing is tugged very quickly, or with any rapid change in vehicle motion such as braking or impact, or when the vehicle attitude is a substantial angle away from normal. Status After a Collision Do not use a seatbelt that is slack or twisted. WARNINGS Do not wear thick clothing. The seatbelt must fit tightly around your body to achieve its optimum effect. Position the shoulder strap of the seatbelt over the centre of your shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.dealer or recognised repairer after an accident has occurred. It may be necessary to replace the belt. Seatbelts subjected to strain, as a result of an accident, should be renewed and the anchorages checked by a properly trained technician. If a seatbelt pretensioner has been deployed, the seatbelt must be renewed. -22- Seatbelts FASTENING THE SEATBELTS Using seatbelts during pregnancy WARNINGS Insert the tongue into the seatbelt buckle until you hear a distinct click. You have not fastened the seatbelt correctly if you do not hear a click. Make sure that the seatbelts are securely stowed away when not in use and are not outside your vehicle when closing the doors. It is recommended that all pregnant women travelling in a motor vehicle shall wear the lap-sash seatbelt with the seatbelt buckle over the hip and the lap section of the belt as tight as comfort will allow, and as low as possible, below the abdomen. WARNING E74124 To Release Depress the release button and allow the belt to return to its fully stowed position. Position the seatbelt correctly for your safety and that of your unborn child. Do not use only the lap strap or the shoulder strap. To Adjust Fit the lap section of the belt low across the front of your pelvis and guide the sash section comfortably across your torso. The retractor mechanism automatically takes up the slack. Make sure the lap and sash sections are free from twists. -23- Seatbelts SEATBELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Seatbelt Buckle Pretensioner WARNING Position the seatbelt height adjusters so that the seatbelt rests across the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the seatbelt correctly could reduce the effectiveness of the seatbelt and increase the risk of injury in a crash. To adjust the height of the strap, press the button on the height adjuster and move the belt anchorage up or down. Your vehicle is equipped with seatbelt buckle pretensioners at the front outboard seating positions. The seatbelt pretensioners are designed to activate only when the seatbelts are fastened, during certain frontal or near-frontal collisions. Seatbelt pretensioners provide additional protection by tightening the webbing of the lap and shoulder belts in such a way that they fit more snugly against the body. The belt pretensioner is not triggered in the event of a minor frontal, side or rear collision. Energy Management Feature Your vehicle has a seatbelt system with an energy management feature at the front outboard seating positions to help further reduce the risk of injury, in the event of certain frontal or near-frontal collisions. The seatbelt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to pay out webbing in a controlled manner. This feature is designed to help reduce the seatbelt force acting on the occupant’s chest. WARNING The seatbelt buckle pretensioners must only be removed or disposed of by specially trained personnel. Refer to your authorised Ford dealer if a seatbelt pretensioner requires repair or replacement. -24- Seatbelts SEATBELT MAINTENANCE Inspect the vehicle seatbelts periodically to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Inspect the vehicle seatbelts to make sure there are no nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if necessary. All vehicle seatbelt assemblies, including retractors, buckles, front seatbelt buckle assemblies, buckle support assemblies (slide bar-if equipped), shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped), shoulder belt guide on seat back (if equipped), should be inspected after a crash. illuminates and the warning chime sounds for six seconds every sixteen seconds, repeating for approximately five minutes or until both front occupants have fastened their seatbelts. The BeltminderTM feature uses two different warning chimes. During the first two cycles, the warning chime sounds once every second. The remaining warning chimes sounds twice every second while the system is activated. BELTMINDERTM WARNING The system only provides protection when you use the seatbelt correctly. This feature is a supplemental warning to the seatbelt warning function. This feature provides additional reminders by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the seatbelt warning light in the instrument cluster when the driver or front passenger seatbelt is unbuckled. A text message will be displayed on the MFD screen with five seconds time-out. The BeltminderTM feature uses information from the front passenger sensing system to determine if a front seat passenger is present, and therefore potentially in need for a warning. Both the driver and passenger seatbelt usages are monitored and either may activate the BeltminderTM feature. The warnings are the same for the driver and the front passenger. When the BeltminderTM feature is activated, the seatbelt warning light -25- Seatbelts BeltMinderTM Conditions of Operation: IF ... THEN ... Either front occupant is not buckled when the ignition is ‘ON’. The seatbelt indicator light illuminates until both occupants are buckled. Either the driver or front outboard passenger is not buckled and the vehicle is moving more than 10 km/h after the ignition is switched on. The BeltminderTM feature is activated - the seatbelt indicator light flashes and the warning chime sounds six times, then pauses ten seconds, repeating this cycle and exhausting after approximately five minutes or until both front occupants are buckled. The text message ‘FASTEN FRONT SEATBELT’ appears on the cluster for five seconds during the first cycle. Both front occupants are buckled while the seatbelt indicator light is illuminated and the seatbelt warning chime is sounding. The BeltminderTM feature stops activating and the seatbelt indicator light remains off, (no light, no chime). Both front occupants are buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the ‘ON’ position. The BeltminderTM feature will not activate and the seatbelt indicator light stays off. The BeltminderTM function is permanently deactivated and either the driver or the front passenger is not buckled when the ignition is ‘ON’. The seatbelt indicator light will remain ‘ON’ for sixty-five seconds or until both occupants are buckled. The vehicle speed drops below 10 km/h while the BeltminderTM is triggering. The BeltminderTM will not stop activating until the end of the triggering cycle (approximately five minutes, or until both occupants are buckled.) Deactivating / Activating the BeltminderTM Feature The BeltminderTM feature can be permanently actived / deactivated. Consult your authorised Ford dealer if this is required. -26- Supplementary Restraints System AIRBAGS Your vehicle is equipped with an airbag for the driver, located in the steering wheel, and a passenger airbag is located in the instrument panel above the glove compartment. The passenger airbag can be identified by the ‘Airbag’ label on the airbag cover. Passenger Air bag The airbag system is not visible until it is activated. The airbag system is designed to deploy the driver and passenger front airbags in certain frontal and front-angled collisions and to deploy the side airbags of the side affected in certain lateral collisions. Because the system senses crash severity, some collisions will not inflate the airbag(s). Frontal airbags are not designed to inflate in rollover, rear crashes, side or low-speed frontal crashes. Side head and side thorax airbags are not designed to inflate in rollover, rear crashes, frontal or lowspeed side crashes. Driver Air bag WARNINGS Side head and thorax airbags are located on the outboard side of the front seat backs. Vehicles fitted with side head and side thorax airbags can be identified by a label sewn into the outboard side of the front seat seam. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEATBELT. The wearing of seatbelts is required by law, even when airbags are fitted. If you are too close to an inflating airbag, it could seriously injure you. Move your seat as far back as practicable to allow room for airbag inflation. Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag system. Tampering could cause activation of the system and increase the risk of personal injury. For servicing of the airbag system, see your authorised Ford dealer. The airbag system is a supplementary restraint system. It is designed to be used in conjunction with seatbelts to help protect against head and chest injuries in certain frontal collisions, and where side airbags are fitted, to reduce the risk of severe injuries in certain side-impact collisions. Where a passenger airbag is fitted, front passengers should never sit on the edge of the seat, stand near the glove compartment, rest feet or other parts of the body on the instrument panel or lean over near the glove compartment when the vehicle is moving. -27- Supplementary Restraints System Several airbag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch after inflation. If the passenger airbag cover shows signs of having been removed, the car should be towed to the nearest Ford dealer for repair. Do not attempt to reinstall the cover. If the vehicle must be driven, then on no account should there be an occupant in the front passenger seat. Where side head and side thorax are equipped, repairs to the seat covers of both the driver’s and passenger’s front seats should only be carried out by properly trained technicians. The airbag may only deploy with the ignition switch in the ‘ON’ (II) position. The Importance of Being Properly Seated If you are too close to an inflating airbag, it could seriously injure you. Move your seat as far back as practicable to allow room for airbag inflation. Never place objects in front of you while you are seated in the front seat as injury may result from the object when it is forced toward you by the inflating airbag. Do not cover the steering wheel or instrument panel with any object (for example, dash panel covers) which may prevent the airbags from inflating properly. Injuries may result if the side airbag is triggered inadvertently. Your Ford dealer will have technicians who have been especially trained to service your vehicle. Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning the steering wheel, instrument panel or front seats where side airbags are fitted to avoid contamination of the airbag system. Wiping with a damp cloth only is recommended. Be careful not to over-wet the front seat covers. WARNINGS Where a passenger airbag is fitted, front passengers should never sit on the edge of the seat, stand near the glove compartment, rest feet or other parts of the body on the instrument panel or lean over near the glove compartment when the vehicle is moving. EXTREME HAZARD! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it. Where it is legally allowable to use a forward-facing child restraint, always move the seat to its rearmost position and adjust the seat-back angle to suit the child restraint. In a collision, the airbags must inflate extremely quickly and with considerable force. E211048 -28- Supplementary Restraints System FRONTAL AIRBAG SYSTEM OPERATION WARNING AIRB AG ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEATBELT. The wearing of seatbelts is required by law, even when airbags are fitted. E68916 The Importance of Wearing Seatbelts Seatbelts must be worn by all vehicle occupants to be properly restrained and help reduce the risk of injury in a collision. Wearing a seatbelt will: • Help keep you in the proper position when the airbags inflate. • Reduce the risk of harm in rollover, side or rear-impact collisions. • Reduce the risk of harm in frontal collisions that are not severe enough to activate the airbags. • Reduce the risk of being thrown from your vehicle. How does the Frontal Airbag System Work? Sensors in the vehicle detect the degree of severity of a frontal impact. The airbags are designed to deploy if the collision suits the criteria for deployment. • The propellant causes a rapid chemical reaction in a container producing gas to fill the airbag(s). • The inflating airbag deploys out of the steering wheel in front of the driver, and deploys out of the instrument panel in front of the passenger. This takes place in a fraction of a second. • The bags deflate as the gas escapes. -29- Supplementary Restraints System Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a cloud of harmless powdery residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal. The system is designed to help reduce serious injuries. Contact with a deploying airbag may cause abrasions, swelling, minor burns and temporary hearing loss. Because airbags must inflate rapidly and with considerable force, there is the risk of death or serious injuries such as fractures, facial and eye injuries or internal injuries, particular to occupants who are not properly restrained or who are otherwise out of position at the time of airbag deployment. Thus, it is extremely important that occupants be properly restrained as far away from the airbag module as possible while maintaining vehicle control. WARNINGS Several airbag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch after inflation. If the frontal airbags have deployed, the airbags will not function again and must be replaced immediately. The frontal airbag system must be inspected and serviced by a qualified technician in accordance with the vehicle service manual. If the frontal airbags are not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. SIDE HEAD AND SIDE THORAX AIRBAG SYSTEM OPERATION WARNINGS Do not block, obstruct or cover the side airbag because it may prevent proper deployment of the airbag and increase your risk of injury. For example, do not lean your head on the door or hang a coat or jacket over the seatback. Do not use accessory seat covers. Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the side airbag system. Please refer to your Ford dealer. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEATBELT. The wearing of seatbelts is required by law, even when airbags are fitted. How does the Side Head and Side Thorax Airbag System Work? The side head and side thorax airbag system consists of the following: • An inflatable nylon bag (airbag) with a gas generator concealed behind the outboard bolster of the driver and front passenger seatbacks. • A special seat cover designed to allow airbag deployment. • The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used for the front airbags. • Two side sensors, located in the front door cavity, one on each side of the vehicle. -30- Supplementary Restraints System There are also two side-crash sensors mounted to the rear-side panel, one on each side of the vehicle. WARNINGS Several airbag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch after inflation. If the side head and side thorax airbags have deployed, the airbags will not function again and must be replaced immediately. The side head and side thorax airbag system must be inspected and serviced by a qualified technician in accordance with the vehicle service manual. If the side head and side thorax airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area increases the risk of injury in a collision. The side head and side thorax airbags are fitted on the outboard side of the seatbacks of the front seats. In certain lateral collisions, the airbag on the side affected by the collision will be inflated, even if the respective seat is not occupied. The airbag was designed to inflate between the door panel and occupant to further enhance the protection provided to occupants in certain side-impact collisions. Because the system senses crash severity, some collisions will not inflate the airbag(s). Side head and side thorax airbags are designed to inflate in certain side-impact collisions, not rollover, rearimpact, frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration. Restraints System Warning Light The restraints system warning light illuminates for approximately six seconds after the engine is started. This is normal and indicates the system, which includes the airbags and seatbelt buckle pretensioners, is performing a selfcheck. If the warning light does not illuminate when the ignition is switched on, or remains illuminated after the initial self check period, or flashes, with the text ‘AIRBAG FAULT’ displayed on the MFD screen, a fault may exist with the restraints system and it should be checked by an authorised Ford dealer immediately. Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a cloud of harmless powdery residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal. -31- Supplementary Restraints System Restraints System Secondary Warning A text message ‘AIRBAG LAMP FAULT’ appears on the Multifunction Display (MFD) screen with a five-minute time out if the warning light is inoperative and if a fault exists in the restraints system.This includes the airbags and seatbelt buckle pretensioners. If this occurs, the system should be checked by an authorised Ford dealer immediately. Restraints System Maintenance and Servicing The airbag and seatbelt buckle pretensioner systems fitted to your vehicle do not require regular maintenance. However, if any of the following occur, see your authorised Ford dealer without delay for corrective action: • The restraints system warning light does not operate briefly when the ignition key is turned on. • The restraints system warning light illuminates while driving. • The airbag warning text appears on the MFD screen. WARNINGS If the restraints system is not serviced when a warning is given, the airbags and seatbelt buckle pretensioners may not function properly in the event of a collision, or may deploy unexpectedly. The airbags, seatbelt buckle pretensioners and energy management retractors activate only once. Once activated, THE AIRBAGS, SEATBELT BUCKLE PRETENSIONERS AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT RETRACTORS WILL NOT FUNCTION AGAIN AND MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. The crash sensor must also be replaced. If the airbags are not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. Ford Intelligent Safety System (ISS), Bull Bars and Other Accessories Ford’s Intelligent Safety System (ISS) uses a network of sensors to control sophisticated restraints systems, and tailors the level of protection deployed to the type and severity of the crash. WARNINGS Do not fit any bull bar to your vehicle as this may interfere with the operation of the ISS, including airbag deployment, and could result in injury to yourself and others. Fitment of a bull bar may also void the vehicle’s compliance with Australian Design Rules (ADR). Do not modify the front of the vehicle in any way as this can adversely affect airbag deployment. Do not mount any accessories on the front of the vehicle within 150 mm of the centre line of the vehicle, as this may interfere with the operation of the front crash sensor. CAUTION Normal airflow to the radiator must not be affected when fog lamps, driving lamps or similar equipment is fitted to the vehicle. Serious mechanical damage will occur. -32- Supplementary Restraints System Event Data Recording Your vehicle is fitted with an event data recorder which is capable of collecting and storing data during a crash, or nearcrash event. The recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event. To access this information, special equipment must be directly connected to the recording modules. Ford does not access event data recorder information without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to a court order or where required by law enforcement, other government authorities or other third parties acting with lawful authority. Other parties may seek to access the information independently of Ford. -33- Locks and Security KEYS Note: Your ignition keys have individual transponders inside them which can help prevent car theft through engine immobilisation. To ensure correct operation of the key transponders, please follow these simple rules: Your vehicle is supplied with two Smartshield ignition keys complete with integrated remote entry keypads. For all vehicles the primary key is a ‘flip’ key. • Do not keep both the supplied ignition keys on the same key ring. • Do not start the vehicle with the two ignition keys closer together than 15 cm. • Do not put other keys with transponders on the same key ring. • Do not cover the key with any material. • Do not use electromagnetic keyrings. The keypad can be used with the flip key in either the closed or the open position. To open or close the flip key, the release button adjacent to the key blade must be depressed. The ignition keys can also be used to lock/unlock the glove box. In case of loss, replacement keys and keypads are available from your authorised Ford dealer. For further information, refer to ‘Engine Immobilisation’ later in this section. The ignition key cut identification number is recorded on a tag, which is found in your owner pack. The tag should be stored in a safe place (not inside the vehicle). If these rules are not followed, you may find that your engine does not start or may stop shortly after it starts. Should this happen, remove keys and ensure all the above instructions are followed, then restart the engine. -34- Locks and Security REMOTE ENTRY KEYPAD Unlocking Doors in SingleStage Unlock Mode The remote entry keypad can be used remotely to unlock and lock the doors. To unlock both doors, briefly press the keypad ‘Unlock’ button. Single-Stage/Two-Stage Unlock Feature Each keypad can be individually programmed to work in either single or two-stage mode: Single-stage mode opens the doors with a single press of the unlock button on the remote keypad.

ENGINE IMMOBILISATION Unlocking the Doors Pull any of the interior door handles or press the door unlock switch (positioned on the ICC) to unlock both doors. ICC Central Unlocking Button Your vehicle is fitted with Smartshield, a sophisticated electronic engine immobilisation system. Once the system has been armed, any attempt to start the engine is electronically inhibited unless the correct coded ignition key is used. Your vehicle is supplied with two electronically-coded ignition keys. Only these keys can be used to start your vehicle. Automatic Arming Door Handle Unlocking Smartshield is automatically armed after the ignition is switched off. The security light on the instrument cluster will flash to indicate that your vehicle is now electronically protected. Automatic Disarming Switching on the ignition disarms the system if the correct coded ignition key is recognised. If a key with an incorrect code is used, the engine will start and run for a few seconds, then stop. The next two attempts will again start and run the engine briefly, then stop. Further attempts with the wrong key will not start the engine. -39- Locks and Security If a key with the correct code is used after this sequence has occurred, the correct key must be held in the ‘START’ position for about two seconds before the engine cranks and starts. Note: If the engine does not start with the correct key, a system malfunction has occurred. Have the system repaired by an authorised Ford dealer as soon as possible. KEY CODING 3. Turn the key back to position ’0’ and remove the key from the ignition. 4. Within five seconds, insert the second already-coded key in the ignition switch and turn to position ’II’. 5. Turn the key back to position ’0’ and remove from the ignition switch. The door locks cycle once to indicate that coding mode is active. 6. If a third (new) key is now inserted in the ignition switch and turned to position ’II’ within five seconds, this third key is coded to the system. The door locks will cycle three times to indicate the third key has been successfully coded. Wait for the door lock cycling to complete. Turn the key back to position ’0’ and remove from the ignition switch. 7. Repeat step 6 with another new key, if desired. The door locks cycle four times, and so on, up to eight cycles for the eighth key coded. Replacement or additional keys are available from your authorised Ford dealer. A maximum of eight keys can be coded to the system at any one time. Note: Two coded keys are required if you wish to code a new key. Note: Keys not present during the key coding process are removed from the memory. The key coding method is described below: 1. Sit in the driver seat and close the door. 2. Insert the first already-coded key in the ignition switch and turn to position ’I’. Coding Erasure With any two coded keys, you can erase all previously coded keys from your Smartshield system. 1. Insert the first key in the ignition switch and turn to position ’I’. 2. Turn the key back to position ’0’ and remove the key from the ignition. 3. Within five seconds, insert the second key in the ignition switch and turn to position ’II’. 4. Turn the key back to position ’0’, but leave the key in the ignition switch. The door locks cycle once. -40- Locks and Security 5. 6. Turn the second key (already in the ignition) to position ’II’ again. Turn the key back to position ’0’ and remove the key from the ignition. Insert the first key again. Turn to position ’II’, then turn back to position ’0’. The door locks cycle twice. Operation The anti-theft alarm has four modes: 1. DISARMED - In this mode the alarm is not triggered by the opening of doors or the bonnet. 2. PRE-ARM - This is the transition phase from the ‘DISARMED’ state to the ‘ARMED’ state. Once the alarm has been set, there is a twencysecond period to allow the doors and bonnet to be opened or closed without triggering the alarm. Once the doors and bonnet remain closed for twenty seconds, then the alarm will go into the ‘ARMED’ mode. 3. ARMED - Opening any armed doors or bonnet triggers the alarm. 4. ACTIVE - Should the alarm be triggered, the siren sounds and the external lights illuminate. Note: Smartshield only recognises the two keys that were inserted. The keys that were not inserted are now deleted from the system. If three keys are required, use the coding procedure to code the third key. Lost Keys If a key is lost, it is recommended that the system be recoded. This deletes the lost key(s) from the system, thus protecting your vehicle from theft in case the key has been stolen. Consult your Ford dealer if you now have only one valid key. If you still have more than one valid key, use the coding erasure procedure to erase the lost or stolen key(s). Arming There are two options available for arming the alarm system. Only one option can be used at any one time. Key in Ignition Lock Detection 1. The system can be armed by locking the vehicle using the lock button on the remote keypad. 2. The system becomes armed when the ignition key is removed from the ignition.

Sensors monitor cabin, ambient air and engine temperatures. A sun-load sensor measures the strength of direct sunlight on the interior of the vehicle. A microcomputer constantly processes this information and, with the climate control in ‘AUTO’ mode, uses it to closely control the climate within the vehicle. It is recommended that the system is left in ‘AUTO’ mode for optimum driver and passenger comfort. The 20-24°C temperature range is recommended to satisfy most users. The temperature may be adjusted up or down if required. The ‘ACC’ system may be overridden at any time to address a specific condition; for example pressing the ‘Demist’ button to clear a fogged windscreen. However, it is recommended to return and remain in ‘AUTO’ mode whenever possible for optimum comfort. AIR DISTRIBUTION The air flow volume and direction can be regulated with the controls on the instrument panel and by adjusting the instrument panel vents. Windscreen demisting Side window demist vent Side window demist vent Centre Vents (Adjustable) Side Vents (Adjustable) Front Footwell Side Vents (Adjustable) Front Footwell -80- Climate Control Instrument Panel Adjustable Vents somewhat cooler than to the footwell vents when heating is between minimum and maximum temperature settings. The air flow can be turned on or off with the rotary controls at the side of the vents. The vents can be adjusted from fully open (top detent position) to full closed (bottom detent position). If full cooling is selected, cool air is delivered to the face and footwell vents. Windscreen Demist When windscreen demist mode is selected, the A/C and fresh modes are automatically selected for glass demisting. Also, the blower fan automatically starts if the fan was not already running. The direction of the air flow can be adjusted horizontally and vertically within the swivelling range of the air vanes and vents. ‘Windscreen Demist’ mode is the most efficient setting for demisting the windscreen and side windows. This mode automatically controls the heat and fan settings. If further demist performance is needed, the temperature set point should be raised and the fan speed increased. When the glass is demisted, press the ‘AUTO’ button to return to automatic climate control. Distribution Modes Note: Distribution modes can only be selected with the ignition on. Face Level Air is directed to the adjustable instrument panel face vents. The vents may be adjusted for direction and flow or may be individually closed if desired. Face Level/Footwell Air is directed to the adjustable instrument panel face vents and front footwell vents. If heating is selected, heated air is directed to the front-footwell vents and partially heated air is directed to the facelevel vents. Note: A/C and fresh air mode can be manually overridden, but demist efficiency will be reduced. Windscreen Demist/Footwell Air is directed to the windscreen and side-window vents to aid in demisting. Air is also directed to the front footwell vents. Footwell Air is directed to the front footwell vents and a small amount is also directed to the windscreen and side window vents to reduce glass misting or fogging. The warmer the setting, the warmer the air directed to the face and front footwell; although air to the face vents is always -81- Climate Control FRESH/RECIRCULATED AIR Automatic Climate Control Operation (recommended) If the system is in ‘AUTO’ mode, the automatic climate control manages the changes between fresh air mode and recirculated air mode to optimise cabin comfort. It is advised that the vehicle be left in automatic mode, at the desired temperature. The system maintains the interior temperature, depending on the conditions. To prevent the ingress of odours or fumes, select the recirculated air mode. The recirculated air mode can also be used to allow the air conditioner to more effectively cool the vehicle’s cabin. Do not use the recirculated air mode if the vehicle occupants are smoking as tobacco odours may remain. Your air selector system is fitted with a fine mesh filter to exclude leaf debris, dust and dirt. A pollen filter is also available, as an accessory item, from your authorised Ford dealer. However if you wish to change the temperature, you can use the SYNC® touch screen or use the Voice Command option. WARNING Extended operation of the climate control system in recirculated air mode may lead to a reduction in air quality in the cabin. The air in the cabin should be periodically refreshed by selecting fresh air mode. Note: For details on the touchscreen and voice command options, refer to your SYNC® manual. Manual Operation Pressing this button alternates between fresh and recirculated air modes. A graphic indicating the selected mode appears on the SYNC® screen. In normal circumstances, the fresh air mode should be selected to maintain the quality of air inside the vehicle, to prevent the build-up of stale air or odours and to reduce windscreen misting. To ensure optimum air quality, it is not advisable to select recirculated air mode for extended periods of time. Note: Under some weather conditions, use of the recirculated air mode may lead to glass misting or fogging. ‘Windscreen Demist’ mode is the most efficient setting for demisting the windscreen and side windows. This mode automatically controls the heat and fan settings. If further demist performance is needed, the temperature set point should be raised and the fan speed increased. Note: If the recirculated air graphic is displayed continuously on the SYNC® screen with no other climate control graphic displayed, irrespective of any climate control selections, a climate control electrical fault has occurred. In this event, please contact your authorised Ford dealer. -82- Climate Control Heated Rear Window Demister R With the ignition ‘ON’, press the button to turn the demister on. The graphic on the Interior Command Centre (ICC) display screen appears. To turn off, press the button again; otherwise the demister automatically turns itself off after approximately fifteen minutes. Windscreen Demist Sun Load Measurement The dual-zone automatic climate control includes a sun-load sensor located centrally on the top surface of the instrument panel, very close to the windscreen. This sensor measures the strength of direct sunshine on the interior of the vehicle. CAUTION Do not cover the sun-load sensor with a dash mat or other item as this will prevent the optimum performance of the automatic climate control system. AIR CONDITIONING GENERAL NOTES Note: The air conditioner only operates with the engine running. In the event that fast demisting of glass is required, press the ‘Demist’ button. Air is directed to the windscreen and side window vents. The air conditioner and blower fan operates, fresh air mode is selected and heating is used (if the engine is warm). When the glass is demisted, press the ‘AUTO’ button to return to automatic climate control. CAUTION Outside Air Temperature A sensor located under the passengerside exterior mirror monitors outside air temperature. This is displayed in degrees Celsius on the SYNC® screen. Correct operation of the sensor relies on air moving across the sensor. Therefore, at low vehicle speed, or when operating the vehicle for a short period of time, the display may differ slightly from the true outside air temperature. Beware of the addition of non-Ford approved accessory items located in front of the bumper or grille openings (for example, fog lights, winch or water bag, and so on). Any items which restrict the air flow through the grille at the front of the car may have a detrimental impact on air conditioning performance and/or engine cooling. • Apart from cooling the air entering the cabin, the air conditioner dehumidifies the air, assisting in glass demisting, especially with the fresh air mode selected. • If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight, open the windows to allow warm air to escape for a few minutes before operating the air conditioner. Note: The outside air temperature displayed is an approximate temperature indication only. -83- Climate Control • Switch the blower fan off if the engine is not running to prevent possible power drain. Note: It is normal for the A/C to discharge water from the A/C drain tube located under the vehicle near the transmission, especially in humid weather. Note: Operate the air conditioner for at least five minutes every week to prevent the system seals from drying out. Air Conditioning Servicing Have the air conditioning system checked, and serviced if necessary, in both hot and cold seasons by an authorised Ford dealer. Preserving the Ozone Layer The refrigerant used in your Ford air conditioning climate control system is Hydro Fluoro Carbon (HFC) R134a. This refrigerant contains no Chloro Fluoro Carbons (CFCs). Ford uses R134a to help prevent depletion of the ozone layer and preserve the earth’s atmosphere and the environment. -84- Climate Control SINGLE-ZONE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM Fresh/Recirculated Air Mode Climate System OFF Air Conditioning ON/OFF Auto Mode ON Front Window Demist Rear Window Demist Air Distribution Modes R Blower Fan Speed Temperature Control Note: SYNC® screen may also be optioned with single-zone automatic climate control system.

Place drink containers into the holder gently but firmly. Do not use excessive force or jamming may occur. FLOOR MATS Never place floor mats or any other covering on top of already installed floor mats. Floor mats should always rest on top of the vehicle carpeting surface and not on another floor mat or other covering. Additional floor mats or any other covering reduces the pedal clearance and potentially interferes with pedal operation. Check attachment of floor mats on a regular basis. Always properly reinstall and secure floor mats that have been removed for cleaning or replacement. WARNINGS Always use floor mats that are designed to fit the footwell of your vehicle. Only use floor mats that leave the pedal area unobstructed. Only use floor mats that are firmly secured to retention posts so that they cannot slip out of position and interfere with the pedals, or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways. Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver footwell while the vehicle is moving. Objects that are loose can become trapped under the pedals causing a loss of vehicle control. Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or attachment instructions can potentially cause interference with pedal operation, causing loss of control of vehicle. Always make sure that the floor mats are properly attached to the retention posts in the carpet that are supplied with your vehicle. Floor mats must be properly secured to both retention posts to ensure mats do not shift out of position. To remove the floor mat, reverse the installation procedure. Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of serious personal injury. To install floor mats, position the floor mat so that the eyelet is over the retention post and press down to lock in. Never place floor mats or any other covering in the footwell that cannot be properly secured. Securing prevents them from moving and interfering with the pedals or the ability to control the vehicle. -99- Starting the Engine STARTING THE ENGINE Vehicles equipped with a ‘One Touch Start’ system may be forced to crank for a longer period by holding the key in the ‘START’ position. This should only be necessary in emergency situations; for example, if the vehicle has run out of fuel and needs to be re-primed. For all vehicles, ensure the park brake is firmly applied before attempting to start the engine. If the vehicle is flashing between ‘P’ and ‘N’ on the centre cluster and the ‘One Touch Start’ fails to work, it may be possible to start the vehicle using the normal cranking method, provided both the hand brake and foot brake are applied. The vehicle should be taken to an authorised dealer for inspection and/ or repair. If the starter motor fails to respond at all your vehicle may be immobilised. Your vehicle will need to be taken to an authorised Ford dealer for repair. Manual Transmission EcoLPi Vehicles Depress the clutch pedal fully, select neutral and apply the foot brake. Do not depress the accelerator pedal. These vehicles have a delay between the ignition key being rotated to the start position (and released) and the starter motor cranking the engine. If this delay is longer than 1.5 seconds, you are shown a pop-up message to wait. The engine starts automatically once the message clears. Turn the ignition key to the ‘START’ position until the engine fires; then release. Do not operate the starter for more than ten seconds. If the engine stalls or falters in starting, wait five to ten seconds before attempting to restart. Automatic Transmission Vehicles with automatic transmission are equipped with a ‘One Touch Start’ system. Select Neutral (N) or Park (P) and apply the foot brake. Do not depress the accelerator pedal. Turn the ignition key to the ‘Start’ position and release. The starter motor cranks automatically until the engine starts. Note: The starting sequence may be stopped at any time by turning the ignition key back to the ‘Accessory (I)’ or the ‘OFF (0)’ position. Note: The starter motor may be forced to engage early and crank the engine during the start priming delay by rotating the key to the start position a second time. However, in this starter override mode, the engine will not start until the fuel system priming is complete. -100- Starting the Engine Therefore the cranking time is increased from that of a normal delayed crank start (‘One Touch Start’). FUEL PRIMING (EcoLPi only) When you open your vehicle, the electronic engine control system will be ‘woken up’. At this point a clicking noise may be heard from the vehicle. WARNINGS When the driver door is opened or closed, the fuel system is made ready for an engine start. This may require a fuel system ‘Prime’ to deliver liquid fuel to the engine. You may at this point hear a click and the fuel pump running. Note: Under some conditions the pump may run for eight seconds when the driver door is opened or closed. On other occasions it may not need to run at all. When the ignition key is turned all the way to the ‘start (III)’ position and released (‘One Touch Start’ mode), the fuel system will begin an additional prime, but the engine will not begin to crank until all priming is complete. Note: The time taken to prime the EcoLPi fuel system may be longer than a petrol engine. When the prime is complete, the starter motor is then automatically engaged and the engine will begin to crank and start. An instrument cluster pop-up message, ‘FUEL PRIME IN PROGRESS PLEASE WAIT’ is displayed if the fuel system priming takes longer than 1.5 seconds. While this message is displayed, the engine will not crank. Note: If during fuel system priming the ignition key is turned to the ‘OFF (0)’ position, the priming procedure is aborted and the fuel pump stops. Note: If the ignition key is rotated to the ‘ON (II)’ position, and NOT to the ‘Start (III)’ position, the fuel priming occurs as above, but engine cranking will not take place when priming is complete. An instrument cluster pop-up message ‘READY TO START’ is displayed instead. Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door before you start the engine. Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or other damage. If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your authorised Ford dealer inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes. Engine Idle Speed after Starting The speed at which the engine idles immediately after starting varies, depending on the engine temperature. If the engine is cold, then the idle speed automatically increases 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 slowly decreases to the normal level as the catalytic converter warms up. -101- Fuel and Refuelling SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNINGS Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire. The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler door, do not refuel until the sound stops; otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury. If you use a high-pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel filler flap briefly from a distance not less than 200 mm (8 inches). We recommend that you wait at least ten seconds before removing the fuel nozzle to allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank. Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle stops the second time. Additional fuel fills the expansion space in the fuel tank which could lead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillage could be hazardous to other road users. Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or mishandled. PETROL VEHICLES The flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzle can produce static electricity, which can cause a fire if fuel is pumped into an ungrounded fuel container. When refueling, always shut the engine off and never allow sparks or open flames near the filler neck. Never smoke or use a cell phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes. Do not operate the vehicle if there are signs of engine misfire or noticeable loss of performance. Do not attempt to start the engine if you have filled the fuel tank with the incorrect fuel. This could damage the engine. Have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer immediately. 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 WARNINGS Do not mix petrol with oil, diesel or other liquids. This could cause a chemical reaction. If you should inadvertently add lead replacement fuel to the fuel tank, do not start the engine (even if only a small amount of the fuel was added). The fuel causes permanent damage to the catalytic converter. Contact your nearest authorised Ford dealer immediately for advice. Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with additives containing other metallic compounds (for example, manganese-based). They could damage the emission system. Note: We recommend that you use only high-quality fuel. The use of additives or other engine treatments not approved by Ford is not recommended. -102- Fuel and Refuelling Fuel Octane Requirements • • For I6 Turbo vehicles, premium unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 95 (RON) is recommended. For optimum performance, premium unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 98 (RON) is recommended. I6 Turbo vehicles can use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 91 (RON), however some minor loss of performance and economy will be noticed. Fuels containing up to 10% Ethanol (E10 grain alcohol) may be used. Ensure the fuel has octane ratings no lower than those recommended for unleaded fuel. Most drivers will not notice any operating difference with fuel containing ethanol. If a difference is detected, the use of conventional unleaded fuel should be resumed removing the cap. Otherwise fuel may spray out and injure you. Fully insert the filler nozzle into the neck of the filler pipe. After refuelling, replace the cap until the ratchet is engaged for at least two clicks and close the fuel door. It is important that the fuel tank is not filled beyond its designed level by trickle feeding after the first click of an automatic filler gun (when fully inserted). If no space is allowed for fuel expansion, spillage may occur during fueling, or the fuel emission system may not operate correctly. 1. Fuel Tank Capacity The fuel tank capacity for all petrol utes is 81 litres. Note: When you insert the correct size fuel nozzle, a spring-loaded inhibitor opens. This helps to avoid filling up with the incorrect fuel. 2. Refuelling Petrol Vehicles Turn the ignition off. To access the fuel filler, push the right-hand side of the fuel filler flap once. The flap pops open slightly to allow the flap to be opened. Slowly unscrew the petrol cap anti-clockwise. WARNINGS Insert the fuel nozzle up to and including the first notch on the fuel nozzle A. Keep it resting on the cover of the fuel-pipe opening. When refuelling, always switch off the engine and never allow sparks or open flames near the filler neck. Never smoke whilst refuelling. Switch off mobile phones. Fuel vapour is extremely hazardous under certain conditions. Care should be taken to avoid inhaling excess fumes. The fuel system may be under, pressure. If the fuel cap is venting vapour or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before completely A E139202 -103- Fuel and Refuelling 3. Filling Fuel Containers Hold the fuel nozzle in position B during refuelling. Holding the fuel nozzle in position A can affect the flow of fuel and shut off the fuel nozzle before the fuel tank is full. WARNING The flow of petrol through a pump nozzle can produce static electricity, which can cause a fire if petrol is pumped into an ungrounded fuel container. To avoid static build up: A B E139203 4. Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to remove it. • Place the approved fuel container on the ground. • Do not fill the container whilst in the vehicle or utility tray. • Keep the nozzle in contact with the fuel container whilst filling. Do not use an automatic pump or any device that latches open pump handles. E119081 5. After refuelling, replace the cap until the ratchet is engaged for at least two clicks, and close the fuel filler door. CAUTIONS If you lose the fuel cap, it is recommended that you replace it with a Ford-approved cap to ensure integrity of the fuel system. -104- Fuel and Refuelling ECOLPI VEHICLES Refuelling EcoLPi Vehicles WARNING WARNING Only Falcons factory built with EcoLPi are designed and tested by Ford Motor Company to run on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Petrol Falcons are not compatible with LPG system fitment. LPG system fitment on petrol Falcons may compromise safe vehicle operation, reduce the life of certain engine components and result in non-compliance with emission regulations. Ford does not warrant or take responsibility for any defect caused by or attributed to fitment of LPG systems to a petrol vehicle. Carefully observe the filling instructions and warnings displayed at the filling station. The LPG fill valve is located behind the fuel filler flap. 1. Switch off the engine. 2. Unscrew the LPG filler cap and securely attach the LPG dispenser nozzle to the fill valve. 3. When filling is complete, disconnect the LPG dispenser nozzle and replace the LPG filler cap. Screw down securely to prevent ingress of dust or other foreign matter. EcoLPi vehicles can only be operated on LPG. The LPG option fitted to your vehicle has been specifically engineered by Ford Motor Company of Australia Limited, to comply with all applicable Australian Design Rules (ADR) and standard AS/NZS 1425-2007. Fuel Tank Capacity - LPG (usable volume) The fuel tank capacity usable volume for LPG utes is 85 litres. 80% = Full EcoLPi vehicles have an Automatic Fill Limiter (AFL). The AFL is designed to restrict the tank from being filled beyond 80% capacity. The remaining 20% is required to allow for expansion of the LPG as temperature increases. WARNING In the unlikely event of an AFL failure and tank overfill, (for example, if the fuel bowser reads greater than the usable volume* when filling from empty), refer to the emergency procedures for dedicated EcoLPi vehicles in the ‘Roadside Emergencies’ section of this manual. * If the bowser indicates that the total LPG volume has exceeded 87 litres (that is, greater than the usable volume), release the fuel dispenser handle. Fuel -105- Fuel and Refuelling tank volumes up to the usable litres should accommodate most variables such as temperature, bowser accuracy and vehicle angle whilst filling. Observe the fuel octane requirement guidelines laid out in this section to avoid damage to the catalytic converter. Driving with a Catalytic Converter Note: Refer to the ‘Roadside Emergencies’ section of this manual for information on emergency procedures for EcoLPi vehicles. CAUTIONS Avoid running out of fuel. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL Do not crank the engine for long periods. WARNING Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse effect on powertrain components. If you have run out of fuel, you may need to cycle the ignition from ‘Off’ to ‘On’ several times after refuelling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to the engine. On restarting, cranking time takes a few seconds longer than normal. CATALYTIC CONVERTER Do not push-start or tow-start your vehicle. Use booster cables. Refer to ‘Jump-Starting the Vehicle’ in the ‘Roadside Emergencies’ section of this manual for further information. Do not switch the ignition off while driving. Do not operate the vehicle if there are signs of engine misfire or noticeable loss of performance. Do not modify or tamper with the engine or emission control system. WARNING The catalytic converter becomes extremely hot during engine operation and continues to radiate heat after the engine is turned off. Do not park or idle your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire. The catalytic converter is a device that helps reduce exhaust gas pollution. It is sensitive to contamination by unburnt or partially burnt fuel, particularly when the engine is hot. -106- Roadside Emergencies HAZARD LIGHTS WARNING SWITCH Use only in an emergency to warn traffic of vehicle breakdown, approaching danger, and so on. Push the switch located in the centre of the Interiore Command Centre (ICC) panel to toggle the hazard lights on/off. The reset button for the fuel system shut-off switch is accessible through an opening in the kick panel. Fuel System Shut-Off Switch Reset Procedure 1. Turn the ignition to the ‘OFF’ position. 2. Visually inspect the engine compartment and underneath the vehicle for fuel system leaks. WARNING To avoid the possibility or personal injury, do not reset the fuel system shut-off switch if you see or smell fuel from the fuel system. FUEL SYSTEM SHUT-OFF SWITCH (Petrol and EcoLPi) 3. Your vehicle is equipped with a shut-off switch that cuts off the fuel supply in the event of an accident. This is first and foremost for your own safety. Activation of the switch may also be caused through sudden vibrations (for example, collision when parking). The fuel system shut-off switch is located in the front-passenger outboard footwell. -107- If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the fuel pump shut-off switch by pushing in the reset button. Place a finger through the hole in the kick panel to locate the reset button. Roadside Emergencies 4. Once the rubber-coated button is located, press down briefly and release. LPG Tank Overfilling (AFL failure) 5. Turn the ignition to the ‘ON’ position. Pause for a few seconds and return the key to the ‘OFF’ position. Do not turn the ignition to ‘START’. • Drive the vehicle without stopping the engine for a sufficient distance to consume the excess fuel (up to 150 km). • Immediately contact the nearest authorised Ford dealer or registered LPG repairer for assistance and appropriate repairs. • If the above is not possible, move the vehicle to a cool, shaded, open area and contact the nearest authorised Ford dealer or registered LPG repairer to have the excess fuel decanted and repairs made. 6. Make a further check for leaks in the fuel system. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOR EcoLPi VEHICLES If the operator after filling believes the LPG volume has exceeded 85 litres: Accident or Fire 1. Turn off ignition. 2. Call emergency fire services to the scene and keep bystanders away from the vehicle. Service Valve Suspected Gas Leak The service valve is used to turn off gas supply to the engine. 1. Ensure there are no sources of ignition near the vehicle. 2. Call the nearest authorised Ford dealer or registered LPG repairer for assistance. Accidental ‘Drive Off’ Whilst Filling 1. Ensure there is NO gas leakage from the valve or system. 2. If there is no leakage, drive to the nearest authorised Ford dealer or registered LPG repairer for assistance. Note: If the vehicle is to be stored for a prolonged period, the service valve must be turned off. Service Valve Location The service valve can be accessed through the rear right-hand wheel arches. -108- Transmission TRANSMISSION the vehicle on a slope. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. Your vehicle is equipped with one of the following transmissions, depending on specification: • Six-speed manual transmission (sixcylinder only). • Six-speed automatic transmission. Both these transmissions are covered in the following pages. CAUTION In normal operation, the vehicle must be brought to a complete stop before shifting from reverse to forward or from forward to reverse gear. Failure to observe this may result in driveline damage. The six-speed transmission has six forward gears and one reverse. The reverse gear cannot be selected when the vehicle is moving forward above 3-4 km/h. The shift pattern is displayed on the top of the gear knob. Changing Down Change to a lower gear when slowing down or climbing hills, before the engine starts to labour. Also change down to use engine braking when descending hills to prolong brake life. Stopping the Vehicle Select a lower gear before the engine speed reaches normal idle speed. Note: Some fore/aft movement of the transmission selector lever may be experienced during towing or driving over road undulations. If stopping on an incline, do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle, use the brake. DRIVING WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION Parking Firmly apply the park brake, switch the ignition off and remove the key. Shift the gear lever into ‘First’ if facing uphill or ‘Reverse’ if facing downhill. Ensure the gear is fully engaged. Release the clutch after the engine stops. POWER OUTL__ _____ ET 12V-10A 1 3 5 R The catalytic converter becomes extremely hot during engine operation and continues to radiate heat after the engine is turned off. 2 4 6 WARNING The clutch pedal should only be used for engaging or disengaging the drive when starting off or changing gears. Do not slip the clutch unnecessarily or use it to hold Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire. -109- Transmission DRIVING WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Gear Selection 2 POWER OUTLET _______ 1 12V-10A S + P R N D All petrol and EcoLPi automatic vehicles are fitted with six-speed automatic transmissions. To select a gear, depress the button (1) and move selector to the desired position (2). P = Park Operation This position should only be selected when the vehicle is stationary. The automatic transmission can be operated in three different modes: 1. Adaptive Automatic Mode (D). 2. Performance Automatic Mode (S). 3. Manual Mode (+/-). WARNING Move the transmission selector lever to reverse, only when your vehicle is stationary and the engine is at idle speed. Always come to a complete stop before shifting the transmission selector lever out of reverse. In this position, the transmission is locked. P is displayed on the multifunction display when the engine is running and P is illuminated on the gear selector console. Park is fully engaged when the selector lever cannot be moved without first releasing the locking mechanism. -110- Transmission When the gear selector lever is in D (Drive), ‘Adaptive Automatic Mode’ is active and D is displayed in the MFD . The transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear and adapts to your driving style. WARNING Do not use the ‘Park’ position in place of the park brake. Always ensure the park brake is firmly applied before leaving a parked vehicle. A spirited driving style yields highperformance transmission shift patterns and firmer feel. R = Reverse This gear should be selected only when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling. R is displayed in the Multifunction Display (MFD) when reverse is selected. Easy driving results in economical shift patterns and smoother shifts. Note: The transmission automatically up-shifts at 5,800 rpm in all gears to prevent engine overspeed. Forced Downshifting - Kickdown To obtain greater acceleration for overtaking, hill climbing and so on, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. The transmission downshifts to a lower gear. Performance Automatic Mode When the gear selector lever is moved to the left, the transmission is in Performance Automatic Mode’. N = Neutral This gear should be selected when starting the engine or when idling. No power is transmitted to the drive wheels. The engine will not operate over 3,000 RPM when neutral gear is selected. N will be displayed in the MFD. Adaptive Automatic Mode D = Drive The transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear under the driving conditions. The transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear for spirited driving. D PER is displayed on the instrument cluster. -111- Transmission At normal highway speeds, the selection of this mode will choose third gear. Note: When operating ‘Performance Automatic Mode’, top gear is not automatically selected. Likewise, if from second gear, the gear selector lever is cycled backwards twice, the instrument cluster shows ’4’ indicating fourth gear. If stationary, first gear is automatically selected. Note: Any gear may be selected, however the transmission only downshifts to a lower gear if the vehicle is travelling below a predetermined speed. Note: When towing heavy loads, or in hilly terrain, it is recommended that ‘Performance Automatic Mode’ is selected. This results in cooler transmission temperatures and additional engine braking. Note: When decelerating, the transmission downshifts automatically when a low-threshold speed is reached. Manual Mode Note: To return to ‘Adaptive Automatic Mode’, shift the gear selector lever back to the ’D’ position at any time. From the ‘Performance Automatic Mode’ you can use the ‘Sequential Sports Shift’ to allow you to manually select the gears. 1 = First This is achieved by either moving the gear lever backwards (+) to upshift or forward (-) to downshift. This gear should be selected for pulling off from a stationary start, or for descending very steep gradients where heavy engine braking is required. ’1’ is displayed on the MFD. 2 = Second This gear should be selected for responsive acceleration, ascending steep gradients or descending steep gradients where increased engine braking is required. ’2’ is displayed on the MFD. 3 = Third The gear selector lever returns to the mid (default) position when not pushed backwards or forwards. Once a gear is selected manually, the transmission is in ‘Manual Mode’. Example: If the car is in third gear and the gear selector lever is pushed forward, the instrument cluster shows ’2’ indicating second gear. This gear should be selected for ascending or descending moderate grades or for responsive acceleration or increased engine braking. ’3’ is displayed on the MFD. -112- Transmission 4 = Fourth Special Features On six-speed automatic transmission fitted vehicles, this gear should be selected for near constant moderate driving conditions on the urban cycle. ’4’ is displayed on the MFD. Automatic Transmission Grade Control Logic (Automatic Modes) 5 = Fifth This gear provides economic driving at higher speeds. ’5’ is displayed on the MFD. When driving downhill, the automatic transmission’s grade control logic feature holds the current gear. Look to downshift further if the vehicle continues to accelerate with the brake pedal depressed. This feature prevents the transmission changing to a higher gear. WARNING 6 = Sixth This gear provides economic driving at higher speeds. ’6’ is displayed on the MFD. Note: Higher gears may not be available at low speeds. WARNINGS It is recommended not to exceed the following speed for each gear: Six-Speed Automatic Transmission. Gear Maximum Speed 1 50 km/h 2 75 km/h 3 115 km/h 4 160 km/h Always observe the local speed limit and drive safely, adjusting your driving to suit the road and weather conditions. Although the automatic transmission grade control logic feature is intended to provide better control of the vehicle while descending grades, the driver should always feel comfortable with the speed and handling of the vehicle. It is advised that the driver place the transmission in the lowest gear possible and gradually bring the vehicle down to their preferred speed. Emergency Downshift (Manual Mode) If the vehicle is being driven in ‘Manual Mode’, an ’emergency kickdown’ feature may be available to the driver in circumstances where rapid downshift and acceleration is required. If the accelerator pedal is pushed all the way to the floor, in a gear that is high for the desired acceleration response, and the transmission calculates that acceleration will be greater in a lower gear, it changes down to assist acceleration. -113- Transmission WARNING Rapid acceleration and downshift can compromise traction under certain road and weather conditions. Always observe the local speed limit and drive safely, adjusting your driving to suit the road and weather conditions. Once kickdown has occurred, the transmission stays in the selected gear until a new gear is manually selected or automatic mode is selected. Kickdown can be avoided in manual mode by not pushing the accelerator all the way to the floor. ‘Limited Operation’ Mode Should the transmission control module detect a potential fault, the transmission may default to a ’Limited Operation Mode’. This mode is designed to prevent the transmission from being damaged while still allowing the car to be driven (in most cases). The car should be driven to the nearest authorised Ford dealer for inspection and (if necessary) repair. In this mode, the transmission still operates but with a limited operation, dependent upon the fault detected. This mode may be detected by the driver through the following signs: • The transmission selector indicator on the instrument cluster flashing. • A change in shift operations. • Some gears becoming unavailable. In either case, it is recommended that you take your vehicle immediately to the nearest available authorised Ford dealer for inspection and (if necessary) repair. Transmission Overheat Protection If the transmission senses it may be nearing an overheat situation, it automatically changes the shift patterns to enable improved transmission cooling. During this period, the instrument cluster display indicating transmission selector position and the transmission overheat warning indicator flashes, until normal transmission operating temperature is reached. Upshift Inhibit on Grades (Performance Automatic Mode) If the accelerator pedal is released rapidly when travelling uphill or downhill, the transmission holds the gear to prevent the gearbox up-shifting. This ensures an adequate gear ratio to climb a hill and a degree of engine braking when travelling downhill. Brake Support Downshift (Adaptive Automatic Mode) When braking takes place and acceleration is detected, the transmission changes down gears to provide additional engine braking, and to be in the correct gear to drive away when the braking action is complete. Gear Hold in Corner Limited operation mode may also be engaged if the battery charge falls below 9V. This feature holds a gear through a corner to provide an improved response when exiting the corner. -114- Transmission Winter Mode WARNING In the event the rear wheels spin when pulling away, such as on ice or snow, with the DSC on, the transmission changea up to a higher gear in an attempt to provide more traction to the driven wheels. Do not use the ‘Park’ position in place of the park brake. Always ensure the park brake is firmly applied before leaving a parked vehicle. R = Reverse Note: The availability of the special features listed above is dependent upon driving style. DRIVING WITH A COLUMN SHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION This gear should be selected only when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling. R is displayed on the MFD when reverse is selected. N = Neutral This gear should be selected when starting the engine or when idling. No power is transmitted to the drive wheels. The engine will not operate over 3,000 rpm when neutral gear is selected. N is displayed on the MFD. D = Drive The transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear under the driving conditions. When the gear selector lever is in D (Drive), ‘Adaptive Automatic Mode’ is active and D is displayed on the MFD. The transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear and adapts to your driving style. All column shift automatic vehicles are fitted with six-speed automatic transmissions. A spirited driving style yields highperformance transmission shift patterns and firmer feel. P = Park This position should only be selected when the vehicle is stationary. In this position, the transmission is locked. P is displayed on the MFD when the engine is running. ‘Park’ is fully engaged when the selector lever cannot be moved without first releasing the locking mechanism. Easy driving results in economical shift patterns and smoother shifts. Note: The transmission automatically up-shifts at 5,800 rpm in all gears to prevent engine overspeed. -115- Transmission Selectable Ratios L = Low (First and Second) L can be selected for pulling off from a stationary start, or for descending very steep gradients where heavy engine braking is required. ‘L’ is displayed on the MFD. Can also be selected to ascend steep gradients. 3 = Third This gear should be selected for ascending or descending moderate grades or for responsive acceleration or increased engine braking. ’3’ is displayed on the MFD. 4 = Fourth On six-speed automatic transmission fitted vehicles, this gear should be selected for near constant moderate driving conditions on the urban cycle. ’4’ is displayed on the MFD. Always observe the local speed limit and drive safely, adjusting your driving to suit the road and weather conditions. Manual Downshifting For column shift automatic transmissions, any gear may be selected with the gear selector lever. However, the electronic control unit only downshifts to a lower gear if the vehicle is travelling below a predetermined speed to prevent engine overspeed. Forced Downshifting - Kickdown To obtain greater acceleration for overtaking, hill climbing and so on, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. The transmission downshifts to a lower gear. D = Drive (First to Sixth) Allows the transmission to access all gear ratios automatically. ‘D’ is displayed on the MFD. Note: Higher gears may not be available at low speeds. WARNINGS It is recommended not to exceed the following speed for each gear: Gear Maximum Speed L 75 km/h 3 115 km/h 4 160 km/h D 200 km/h -116- Brakes BRAKES assisted brake application, but without power assistance brake pedal pressure and stopping distance is significantly increased. WARNINGS If you notice a reduction in brake effectiveness or an increase in stopping distances, have the braking system checked immediately. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM If you are driving down a long steep hill, shift to a lower gear and do not apply your brakes continuously. If you apply your brakes continuously, they may overheat and become less effective. Wet brakes have a lower coefficient of friction resulting in reduced braking efficiency. After leaving a car wash, driving in heavy rain or in slush, apply the brakes gently while driving to dry the brakes. Note: Occasional brake squeal during light to moderate stops does not affect the function of the brake system and is normal. However, if the squeal becomes louder or more frequent, have your brakes inspected by your authorised Ford dealer. Your vehicle is equipped with a fourchannel hydraulic braking system with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and allows independent brake control of each wheel. Your vehicle is also fitted with dual (front/rear) brake circuits. If one of the brake circuits fail, the other remains operative. However you need to exert a greater force on the brake pedal and make allowance for increased stopping distances. The system is vacuum power assisted. If the engine stops, the system has enough reserve for at least one power WARNINGS Although the Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) system ensures optimum braking efficiency, stopping distances can vary greatly depending on the road surface and conditions. Use of the ABS cannot eliminate the dangers inherent in driving too close to the vehicle in front of you, aquaplaning, excessive cornering speed or poor road surfaces. The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. Note: When the ABS is operating, the brake pedal will pulse. This is normal. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) operates by detecting the onset of wheel lock-up during brake applications and then compensating for this tendency. The wheels are prevented from locking even when the brakes are firmly applied, thus helping to ensure that the car can be steered and the driver can avoid obstacles. Operation of the ABS System The ABS is not employed during normal braking. It becomes operational only when it senses differences in the rotational speed of the road wheels, indicating that they are about to lock up. The ABS will not eliminate the dangers inherent when: -117- Brakes • You drive too close to the vehicle in front of you. • The vehicle is aquaplaning. • You take corners too fast. • The road surface is poor. Braking with ABS In an emergency, apply full force on the brake pedal. The ABS is activated immediately, thus allowing you to retain steering control of your vehicle and, providing there is sufficient space, enables you to avoid obstacles. a malfunction in the system. You may continue driving, however ABS will be disabled. Have the vehicle checked by an authorised Ford dealer as soon as possible. Note: When the vehicle first starts moving after engine start-up, the ABS system conducts a self-check cycle at approximately 30 km/h and emits a slight noise. This is normal. Hints on driving with ABS There are two important rules when braking in emergencies with ABS: 1. Apply full force on the brake pedal. 2. Steer around the obstacle. No matter how hard you brake, steering control is maintained. BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR This vehicle is equipped with a brakeover-accelerator feature. In the event that the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, applying steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal slows both the vehicle down and reduces engine power. Some tyre noise may be evident, but this does not necessarily indicate wheel lock. You should familiarise yourself with this braking technique. However, avoid taking any unnecessary risks. If you experience this condition: • Apply the brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. • Turn the engine off, shift to P (Park) and apply the parking brake. • Inspect the accelerator pedal for any interferences. ABS System Self-Check When the ignition is switched on, the ABS warning light illuminates for approximately three seconds to verify that the system is operating correctly. If the light does not illuminate when the ignition is switched on, or if it remains illuminated whilst driving, this indicates If none are found, and the condition persists, contact your nearest authorised Ford dealer. -118- Brakes PARKING BRAKE WARNING Vehicles with an automatic transmission should always be left with the selector lever in position P. • Press the foot brake pedal firmly. • Pull the parking brake lever up smartly to its fullest extent. • Do not press the release button while pulling the lever up. • If your vehicle is parked on a hill and facing uphill, select first gear and turn the steering wheel away from the kerb. • If your vehicle is parked on a hill and facing downhill, select reverse gear and turn the steering wheel towards the kerb. • To release the parking brake, press the brake pedal firmly, pull the lever up slightly, depress the release button and push the lever down. -119- Dynamic Stability Control DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL Note: Dynamic Stabiltiy Control (DSC) is also known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or Electronic Stability Program (ESP). DSC provides increased traction, stability and steering control under acceleration, braking and cornering. Depending on the DSC mode selected by the driver, assistance is provided by a combination of brake and / or engine interventions. These DSC interventions are advised by a flashing control light (Refer to ‘Controls’ later in this section). The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. Do not alter or modify your vehicle’s suspension or steering, or fit non-Ford specified tyres. Also ensure the tyres are inflated to the correct levels as specified on the tyre placard located inside the glovebox lid. The resulting changes to the vehicle’s handling can adversely affect the DSC system. How does DSC Work? DSC is designed to assist the driver to retain control of the vehicle in the event of an emergency manoeuvre or if hazardous conditions are suddenly encountered. Even if your vehicle is fitted with DSC, you should still drive defensively and with caution according to the road conditions. If the DSC control light is flashing, drive more carefully and adapt your driving style to the road conditions. B B B A A WARNINGS Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause you to lose control of your vehicle, increasing the risk of severe personal injury or property damage. The occurrence of DSC intervention is an indication that at least some of the tyres have exceeded their ability to grip the road. This may lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. If you experience DSC intervention, SLOW DOWN. B A E72903 A Without DSC. B With DSC. DSC helps your vehicle maintain traction, when driving on slippery and/or hilly road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel spin and vehicle stability. Excessive wheel spin is controlled by momentarily reducing engine power and rapidly applying brake pressure to the spinning wheel(s). -120- Dynamic Stability Control The system enhances your vehicle’s stability during manoeuvres that require all available tyre grip and aids the driver’s control of the vehicle under adverse driving conditions, such as on loose surfaces, gravel, snow and ice-covered roads. The DSC system helps the driver maintain steering control if the vehicle begins to slide excessively left or right. DSC attempts to correct the sliding motion by applying brake force at individual wheels and by reducing engine power. During DSC operation, you may experience the following: If required, the driver can select the desired operating mode with the DSC button. This button is located on the Interior Command Centre (ICC) panel below the audio controls (Refer to the ‘Instrumentation’ section of this manual for driver interface layout.) The DSC system status is indicated by a warning indicator light with a ‘sliding car’ icon in the instrument cluster that flashes when the system is active. • A rumble or grinding noise. • A slight deceleration of the vehicle. Modes of Operation • The DSC indicator light flashes. (Refer to ‘Controls’ below.) For vehicles equipped with DSC, there are two different modes of operation: • If your foot is on the brake pedal, you will feel a vibration in the pedal, similar to ABS. 1. DSC ‘ON’. 2. DSC ‘OFF’. All these conditions are normal during DSC operation and should be expected. The system does not function when the vehicle is traveling in R (Reverse). However in R, ABS and the traction control feature continue to function. Controls The DSC system is automatically switched to the default ‘ON’ mode (Refer to ‘Modes of Operation’ later in this section.) when the engine is started and should be left active in all normal driving conditions. DSC ‘ON’ Mode ‘DSC ON’ mode is the default position from ignition ‘ON’. It provides full DSC operation and should be used in all normal driving conditions. With the DSC system on, your vehicle responds to adverse conditions with a combination of the following: • Stability Enhancement. Enhances the vehicle’s stability during manoeuvres that require all available tyre grip. It also provides better overall vehicle road holding capability and steering control when performing emergency manoeuvres, by applying brake force at individual wheels and reducing engine power. -121- Dynamic Stability Control • DSC ‘OFF’ (System Disabled) Traction Control. The traction control system is configured to limit excessive wheel spin beyond a predetermined level. Below that level, it does not prevent wheel spin from occurring. This is to ensure the system is not overly sensitive to small amounts of wheel spin that may occur during take off or conditions, where small amounts of wheel spin are desired to gain traction on loose surfaces such as gravel. • Engine Power Reduction. Used in conjunction with both the stability enhancement and traction control components. This is to reduce available engine power and prevent any further increase in vehicle or wheel speed while the system is being actuated. Switching DSC ‘ON’ The DSC system is automatically activated and defaults to ‘ON’ mode when the engine is started. Should the DSC be switched off at any time (Refer to ‘Switching DSC OFF’ later in this section) the system can be switched back on by a single press of the DSC button. The DSC icon on the instrument cluster flashes when the system is acting to control the vehicle’s traction and/or stability. If you are not sure which DSC mode is active, it is recommended you bring the vehicle to a safe halt, completely turn the engine off (key turned back to ‘0’ position) and restart the vehicle, returning to the default mode of operation (DSC ON). WARNINGS Do not switch the DSC system off unless you wish to disable the DSC stability enhancement and traction control feature completely. Since DSC is an active safety system, it is recommended that the system remain fully operational to aid with adverse driving conditions, should they be unexpectedly encountered. Switching DSC ‘OFF’ To switch the DSC system off, press the DSC button until the DSC icon illuminates. The DSC icon remains on when the button is released. DSC can be switched back on by pressing the DSC button until the DSC icon extinguishes. Tips for Driving Vehicles Fitted with DSC • It is recommended that the DSC is left switched on (Refer to ‘DSC ‘ON’ Mode’ earlier in this section). This helps to maintain steering and braking control of your vehicle. • If the DSC system warning lamp comes on (and stays on), stop and restart the vehicle. If the lamp does not go out, the system needs to be serviced by an authorised Ford dealer. In the Event of a Failure If the DSC warning indicator light in the instrument cluster remains on while the engine is running, have the system -122- Dynamic Stability Control serviced immediately by an authorised Ford dealer. EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST The Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) is able to detect an emergency braking situation by measuring the rate at which the brake pedal is applied. It automatically provides maximum braking efficiency as long as the pedal is applied. This can reduce stopping distances in critical situations. WARNING The EBA is an additional system which is not intended to relieve the driver of their responsibility for exercising due care and attention when driving. -123- Cruise Control CRUISE CONTROL This function can also be controlled using Voice Control. Refer to the SYNC® manual for further details. WARNING To Enable Cruise Control To avoid the possibility of loss of control, the cruise control should not be used in heavy traffic (city driving) or on winding, slippery or unsealed roads. Place your fingers underneath the ‘CRUISE’ button and press towards you to enable the cruise control system. The cruise control system attempts to maintain the vehicle speed set by the driver. The system has a set speed display in the Multifunction Display (MFD). When the cruise control is set, it shows the speed the cruise control is trying to achieve. When in coast, it shows the previously set speed. The MFD indicates when the cruise control is enabled and ready to be set. The ‘CRUISE CONTROL’ unavailable pop-up may display if the cruise control is not ready or there is a fault in the system. Illuminated if CRUISE is enabled CRUISE SET speed The cruise control system has been designed to allow easy setting to speed ‘zones’. For convenience, there is an indexing capability which adjusts the set speed to the next speed zone up or down as directed by the driver; for example, 60 km/h, 70 km/h, 80 km/h and so on. CRUISE CONTROL UNAVAILABLE -124- Cruise Control To Set a Speed speed. These are ‘Coarse’ and ‘Fine’ adjustment. With the cruise control enabled, press either of the ‘SET’ switches located on the steering wheel to set and store the current vehicle speed. Fine Adjustment A fine adjustment is possible tapping either SET+ or SET-. This adjusts the set speed up or down by an increment of 1 km/h. Coarse Adjustment (‘Indexing’) The ‘CRUISE SET’ indicator (Green) illuminates, a pop-up is displayed in the main screen for two seconds and the set speed is displayed. A coarse adjustment is possible by ‘indexing’. To index press and hold either SET+ or SET-. Release when the set display rounds up or down to the next 10 km/h increment. If a further index is required, the process is repeated. Examples of coarse adjustment are featured on the next page. WARNINGS The vehicle will now control to the set speed (in this example 110 km/h).Speed Illuminated if CRUISE is enabled Adjustment When you are going downhill, your vehicle speed may increase above the set speed. The system does not apply the brakes. Change down a gear to assist the system in maintaining the set speed. Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle control, serious injury or death. The cruise control system provides CRUISE SET speed two methods for adjusting the set -125- Cruise Control Coarse Adjustment (‘Indexing’): Example 1 Current vehicle speed 74 km/h Desired cruise speed 100 km/h • Index UP. 74 km/h indexes to 80 km/h. • Index UP. 80 km/h indexes to 90 km/h. • Index UP. 90 km/h indexes to 100 km/h. Index Set Speed 74 km/h Index Set Speed 80 km/h Index Set Speed 90 km/h Set Speed 100 km/h Example 2 Current vehicle speed 74 km/h Desired cruise speed 50 km/h • Index DOWN. 74 km/h indexes to 70 km/h. • Index DOWN. 70 km/h indexes to 60 km/h. • Index DOWN. 60 km/h indexes to 50 km/h. Index Set Speed 74 km/h Index Set Speed 70 km/h Index Set Speed 60 km/h -126- Set Speed 50 km/h Cruise Control Pedal Override The cruise control may be overridden by use of the accelerator pedal for overtaking and so on. When the pedal is released, the vehicle returns to the set speed shown. The set speed flashes on/off when in override. If the driver accelerates the car to a higher road speed than the set speed shown on the cluster and presses either the SET+ or SET- buttons, the cruise control automatically sets to the new road speed. This will also be the case if the vehicle picks up speed going down a hill and the driver presses SET+. To Coast The cruise control can be temporarily disengaged by momentarily pressing the ‘RES COAST’ button. The ‘CRUISE SET’ indicator (Green) goes off and the set speed display has a strike-through. The cruise control system is also be temporarily disengaged by the following: • Pressing either the brake or clutch pedal. • Manually selecting a gear lower than second gear. • Manually selecting neutral transmission position. To Resume To resume cruise control, momentarily press the ‘RES COAST’ button. The vehicle adjusts its speed to match the last set speed displayed on the instrument cluster. The resume feature will not work if the vehicle speed is below approximately 40 km/h. Note: The speed of the vehicle cannot be automatically controlled until the vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h. Note: The cruise control system is disengaged if the vehicle experiences a DSC intervention. Note: The cruise control system may not be able to maintain the set speed in certain circumstances (for example, driving up steep hills). If the vehicle speed drops below the set speed by 13-23 km/h, the cruise control system may automatically disengage. You need to manually control the vehicle speed during this time and may resume afterwards. The cruise control set speed extinguishes and will displays a strikethrough. -127- Driving Hints SPEED LIMITER of travel. If your ute is speed limited, this may be felt as a slight surging of the vehicle at top speed. • The Base SSB/CC (1 tonne suspension) is speed-limited to 175 km/h. • The XR6 Turbo SSB is speed-limited to 230 km/h. In the event of an emergency stop, press the brake firmly and steer to avoid obstacles as necessary. If the vehicle goes from one type of surface to another (that is, from concrete to gravel) there will be a change in the way the vehicle responds to a manoeuvre (steering, acceleration or braking). Again, avoid these abrupt inputs. • The XR6 SSB (1/2 tonne suspension) is speed-limited to 180 km/h. If your Vehicle Goes off the Edge of the Sealed Road • The XR 6 CC (1 tonne suspension) is speed-limited to 175 km/h. WARNINGS Always observe the local speed limit and drive safely, adjusting your driving to suit the road and weather conditions. To operate your vehicle at speeds exceeding these limits, runs the risk of damage to your vehicle and injury to yourself and others. EMERGENCY MANOEUVRES If your vehicle goes off the edge of the sealed road surface, slow down, but avoid severe brake application. Ease the vehicle back onto the sealed road, only after reducing your speed. Do not turn the steering wheel too sharply while returning to the sealed road surface. In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn must be made, remember to avoid ‘over-driving’ your vehicle; that is, turn the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid the emergency. It may be safer to stay on the apron or shoulder of the road and slow down gradually before returning to the sealed road. You may lose control if you do not slow down or if you turn the steering wheel too sharply or abruptly. Excessive steering results in less vehicle control, not more. Additionally, smooth variations of the accelerator and/or brake pedal pressure should be utilised if changes in vehicle speed are called for. Avoid abrupt steering, acceleration or braking. Use all available road surfaces to return the vehicle to a safe direction It often may be less risky to strike small inanimate objects, such as highway reflectors, with minor damage to your vehicle rather than attempt a sudden return to the sealed road. This could cause the vehicle to slide sideways out of control, or roll over. -128- Driving Hints Your safety and the safety of others should be your primary concern. becomes lightly bogged; for example, in a muddy car park or in snowy conditions. DRIVING ON SNOW, ICE, MUD OR SAND In this type of situation, it may be possible to rock the vehicle free by alternating between forward and reverse gears whilst using a light accelerator pedal pressure. Should this not be effective, Ford recommends contacting a professional recovery service. CAUTION Before driving in sub-zero temperatures, ensure that sufficient anti-freeze protection is added to the cooling system. Refer to the ‘Fluid Specification’ section in the Customer Assistance, Warranty and Service Guide. When hazardous driving is encountered due to snow, ice, mud or sand, follow these suggestions: • Drive cautiously, allowing extra distance for braking. • Avoid sudden movements, either braking or steering. • If stalled in snow or sand, use second gear and accelerate slowly. First gear (manual transmission) or 1 (auto transmission in ’Manual Mode’) may be used, if necessary. Move slowly to avoid spinning the rear wheels. CAUTION Avoid alternating between forward and reverse gears at vehicle speeds greater than 3-4 km/h. Failure to observe this may result in driveline damage. WARNINGS Ensure there are no pedestrians or objects near the vehicle if trying to rock your vehicle free. The movement of the car in this situation may be unpredictable. Do not spin the wheels excessively as this may cause personal injury to bystanders and/or premature failure of driveline components. Snow Chains WARNING Only use snow chains on the driven (rear) wheels. Do not exceed 40 km/h when the chains are fitted. In order to avoid damage, remove wheel covers before driving with snow chains. Remove the chains immediately on roads free of snow and ice. On slippery surfaces do not downshift into first gear (manual transmission) or 1 (auto transmission in ’Manual Mode’). This may induce skidding. If your Vehicle is Stuck in Mud or Snow Your vehicle is not designed to be driven off-road. However, you may still encounter a situation where your vehicle Consult an authorised snow chain dealer to obtain chains of the correct size for your vehicle and advice regarding snow chain fitment. -129- Driving Hints If snow chains are fitted to your vehicle, ensure that they are fitted properly. WARNINGS Incorrectly fitted chains may cause damage to your vehicle. Snow chains may only be fitted to 215/60R16 tyres. The vehicle senses the engine overheating and automatically begins shutting down cylinders. This allows you to continue driving until it is safe to pull over. Deep Water Do not drive through flooded areas unless you are sure that the water is below the bottom of the wheel rims. If you must drive through water, drive slowly. You may have limited traction or wet brakes, so allow extra stopping distance because your vehicle will not stop as quickly as usual. After you drive through the standing water, apply your brakes gently several times as your vehicle moves slowly. This helps to dry the brakes. CAUTION If, when turning the vehicle, it is necessary to hold the steering wheel against the turn stops, allow the wheel to return slightly from this maximum position to avoid possible damage to the power steering pump. Your vehicle features a ’Fail Safe’ cooling system which prevents engine damage if the cooling system fails unexpectedly. Note: This feature is standard on sixcylinder petrol and EcoLPi engines. Do not fit snow chains to an axle where a temporary spare is fitted. POWER STEERING ‘FAIL SAFE’ COOLING SYSTEM (4.0L DOHC DIVCT I6, ECOLPI AND 4.0L DOHC DI-VCT TURBO I6) The vehicle’s operation may be limited when the ’Fail Safe’ cooling system is engaged. If the engine temperature warning indicators are activated, the ’Fail Safe’ cooling system may engage. A drop in vehicle speed and performance indicate the system is operating. If the vehicle is operated in extreme conditions or a high load situation, for extended periods in ‘Fail Safe’ cooling mode, the engine temperature warning light flashes and the audible warning becomes continuous. This means that the ’Fail Safe’ cooling system is unable to keep the engine cool enough to continue operation without being damaged. The engine shuts down after fifteen seconds. WARNING Do not use the ‘Fail Safe’ cooling system to drive for extended periods. Drive your vehicle to a safe location and have the source of the problem determined as soon as possible. -130- Load Carrying LOAD CARRYING GENERAL DEFINITIONS For the safety of all road users, use the following guidelines when loading the freight compartment of your vehicle. Before loading your vehicle, familiarise yourself with the following terms: • Secure loose items in the load area to prevent them from becoming projectiles in the event of a collision. • Load heavy items low in the load area, and ensure that the weight of the load is located directly over or forward of the rear axle. • Mass is also generically called weight. Tare Mass Is the same as Kerb Mass, except with only ten litres of fuel instead of a full tank. Kerb Mass/Unladen Mass The mass of the vehicle in running order, unoccupied and unladen with all fluid reservoirs filled to nominal capacity, including fuel and with all standard equipment.It does not include occupants or luggage, or towball download. Ensure that the load imposed on any tyre is less than the tyre’s maximum load rating and ensure the limits are not exceeded. Payload is all weight added to the vehicle itself, including luggage (cargo) and occupants. It is the specified Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM), less the Kerb (Unladen) Mass of your vehicle. WARNING The utility tailgate is not designed to support heavy weights. Do not rest heavy objects or stand on the tailgate as it may collapse, causing injury to yourself or others or damage to the vehicle. Laden Vehicle Mass (LVM) is the Vehicle Kerb (Unladen) Mass plus Payload. Gross Vehicle Mass Rating (GVMR) is the maximum allowable mass of the fully laden vehicle (including all options, equipment, occupants and luggage). Refer to the compliance / ID decals of your utility. Cylinders of flammable gas may leak and create a risk of fire or explosion. As a precaution, ensure adequate ventilation when carrying gas cylinders. One Tonne Vehicles Note: The Laden Vehicle Mass (LVM) must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Mass Rating (GVMR) One-tonne vehicles are designed with special wheels, tyres and suspension to carry loads of up to 1000 kg, including the weight of the occupants. WARNING Note: When loading one-tonne vehicles, ensure the load imposed on any tyre is less than that tyre’s maximum load rating. Exceeding the GVMR could result in sub-standard vehicle handling performance, engine, transmission and/ or structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, loss of control and personal injury. -131- Load Carrying Towball Download is the amount of load that a trailer exerts down onto the vehicle towball. Gross Axle Load (GAL) Laden Trailer Mass (LTM) is the mass of the trailer (including the towball download), plus the trailer contents. Payload (maximum) is applicable for vehicles supplied at standard specification, prior to the addition of options, accessories, or structure. It is equal to the maximum combined value for the occupants / cargo / added options / additional structures and towball download when towing. For reference and clarification, another term, ‘Load Capacity’, is also used for utility vehicles. This is calculated as follows: Load Capacity = GVM - Tare Mass The total load carried by a single axle (front and rear), due to the vehicle Kerb/ Unladen Mass, including any optional/ aftermarket equipment, plus the loads resulting from any luggage (cargo), all occupants and the towball download - as measured at the wheels to ground interface. Gross Axle Load Rating (GALR) The maximum allowable load that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). Refer to the listed load limits values in the ‘Trailer Towing’ section of this manual. Gross Axle Load Rating - Front (GALR-Fr) Front axle load maximum is 1165 kg. As Tare Mass is the same as Kerb Mass (except with only ten litres of fuel instead of a full tank), the Load Capacity is therefore approximately equal to the Payload +52 kg for ULP utility vehicles, or +30 kg for EcoLPi vehicles. GCM (Gross Combination Mass) is the mass of the Laden Vehicle (LVM) plus the mass of the fully Laden Trailer (LTM). LVM = GCM Gross Combination Mass Rating (GCMR) is the maximum allowable mass of the vehicle and the loaded trailer (including all luggage and occupants) that the vehicle can handle, provided the vehicle axle ratings are not exceeded. Note: The GCM must never exceed the GCMR. -132- Load Carrying Gross Axle Load Rating - Rear (GALR-Rr) Is the maximum permissible value for the gross axle load on the rear axle. Rear axle load maximum values are shown below for the applicable suspension and tyre groups. Gross Axle Load - Rear (Rear Axle Load Maximum) (a) Suspension Type Max Load Ute One tonne suspension (for both optioned and standard fitment) 1700 kg XR6 Sports suspension when fitted with the standard 18” tyre 1240 kg and wheels (incl XR6 when fitted with EcoLPi) Model XR6, XR6 Turbo Sports suspension when fitted with the optional 19” tyre & wheels (incl. XR6 when fitted with EcoLPi) GALR. Refer to your authorised Ford dealer for advice. Exceeding either the gross axle load rating (GALR) or (GCMR) could result in substandard vehicle handling/performance, engine/ transmission and/or structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, loss of control and/or personal injury. The loads for your vehicle will be dependent upon which model and features are fitted. So where uncertain, measure using a public or commercial weigh station, the mass of laden vehicle, rear axle loads and the load on the trailer axles. Confirm compliance to GVMR, GCMR and GALR ratings. At higher vehicle laden mass and / or trailer towing combinations, ensure tyre pressures are set to the ‘Maximum Load’ pressures. Refer to the tyre placard (located on the inside of glove-box lid) and the ‘Trailer Towing’ section of this manual for further information. For your specific load application, the trailer load on the towball may need to be reduced in order to not exceed the vehicle limits. This may be achieved by changing the trailer load distribution where practicable, or alternatively may require the vehicle occupant and luggage loads to be adjusted/restricted. 1170 kg WARNINGS Do not exceed the GVMR or the GALR. Do not use replacement tyres with lower load carrying capacities than the originals because they lower the vehicle’s GVMR and GALR. Replacement tyres with a higher load capacity than the originals do not increase the GVMR and For safety and vehicle handling requirements, the trailer must maintain a reasonable download on the towball (typically 10% of Laden Trailer Mass (LTM)). The towball download varies in order to comply with GALR, GVMR, and GCMR ratings. Ensure tyre pressures are set correctly. -133- Load Carrying GUIDE TO DETERMINING AND ADJUSTING VEHICLE LOADS 1. 2. 3. Use the appropriate maximum values from the ‘Towing and Load Limits’ table in the ‘Trailer Towing’ section of this manual. Weigh your vehicle as you customarily operate the vehicle with limited occupants and luggage, and determine the front and rear GAL and trailer mass values separately when towing. To obtain correct values, take your vehicle to a public or commercial weigh station. Add and adjust loads, and confirm compliance to the applicable ratings by reweighing the vehicle and trailer, where appropriate or uncertain. The following table is a guide to assist in adjusting the axle and vehicle loads. It displays the approximate loads that are carried by the rear axle when occupants, luggage and trailer towball downloads are changed or applied. These values may be used to predict the approximate effects of adjusting loads as a variance to the values established after the vehicle has been initially weighed. Guide Load Location to Rear Axle Determination Load Addition* to Vehicle (kg) Occupants (depending on seat position) Per 10 kg addition Cargo 300 mm forward of rear axle Per 10 kg addition 9 kg increase Cargo 300 mm rearward of rear axle Per 10 kg addition 11 kg increase Towball Download Per 10 kg addition 15 kg increase * Reducing the load in the vehicle results in a decrease to the Rear Axle Load by the same amounts above. This table may be useful, pending the confirmation of compliance to the applicable ratings, by weighing the vehicle and trailer where appropriate or uncertain. SOFT TONNEAU COVER Caring for Your Tonneau Cover To ensure the best results and long life from your tonneau cover: • Do not use the tonneau cover without support from either the tonneau crossbars or a load in the load area. • Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the tonneau cover. • Do not drive with the tailgate down. • Do not stretch the tonneau over sharp or pointed objects in the load area. Load Resultant Increase* in Rear Axle Load (kg) 4 to 6 kg increase When fitted to the vehicle, ensure all sides are fastened properly to prevent -134- Load Carrying pooling of water on the cover. Peeling Back the Tonneau Cover to Access the Load Area Use the following procedure to remove the tonneau cover: Removing Tonneau Cover Crossbars Place forefinger under the tonneau cover at either rear corner of the load area. 4. 5. 6. Slide finger along to locate plastic extrusion (either on the tailgate or vehicle sides). Grip the extrusion between thumb and forefinger and pull down and outwards simultaneously. ‘Peel’ the tonneau cover away along either the length or width of the load area. Complete Removal of the Tonneau Cover To remove the crossbars, pull them out of the crossbar brackets. There may be some resistance which can be easily overcome by tapping the crossbar upwards, with the heel of the hand, close to the bracket points. Note: The front and rear crossbars are different lengths and are labelled for identification accordingly. Note that the front bar is the longer of the two. Removing Tonneau Cover Crossbar Brackets In some instances, it may be desired to completely remove the crossbar brackets from the load area. To remove a crossbar bracket, apply upwards pressure to the bottom of the bracket and roll out from the rail channel. To completely remove the tonneau cover, follow the steps 1 to 4 above for the tailgate and both sides. Once all sides are peeled off, remove the front side of the tonneau by pulling the black extrusion at the front of the tonneau forward, toward the back of the cab. This pulls the extrusion from the front rail and allow complete removal. -135- Load Carrying Note: Crossbar brackets are designed as a secure fit into the channel rail to avoid unnecessary movement. For this reason, brackets may require some force to remove. If in doubt, please consult your authorised Ford dealer. 2. Location hole for crossbar bracket. 4. Location hole for tie down point. 5. Roll the top lip of the crossbar bracket under the top of the side rail channel. Push bottom of bracket into bottom of rail channel. Ensure it is fully home by pulling on the bracket. It should not be able to move. 6. Replacing Tonneau Cover Crossbar Brackets 1. 3. Ensure the bracket is the right way up (Refer to ‘Removing Tonneau Cover Crossbars’ section earlier in this manual. Line up centrally with one of the high holes in the side rail channel to allow the peg on the back of the crossbar bracket to locate. Note: The crossbar brackets only locate into the side rail in these areas. The lower holes are for location of the tie down points. Replacing the Tonneau Cover Crossbars Insert the legs of the crossbars into the crossbar support brackets. Note: The front crossbar must be mounted in the front brackets and the rear crossbar in the rear brackets only. Note: The front and rear crossbars are different lengths and are labelled for identification accordingly. Note that the front bar is the longer of the two. Replacing the Tonneau Cover 1. 2. -136- Place the tonneau cover over the crossbars with the black extrusion part of the cover at the front of the load area. Secure the black extrusion to the front rail. Load Carrying 3. 4. Beginning at the tailgate, grip the rear of the tonneau cover and pull to make the material taut. Once the tonneau cover is taut, this should allow the tensioner (C) to hinge over the top lip (A) of the rail. 1. Cleat. 2. Bezel. 3. Pin. 4. Spring. WARNINGS 5. 6. 7. Keeping pressure on the tensioner (C), push the hook (D) over the bottom lip (B). Note that the process for steps 3 to 5 soon blend into one ’rolling’ motion with a little experience of the procedure. Tie-down points are only to be used for load restraint within the ute bed. Using tie-down points for any other purpose may lead to serious injury and/or vehicle damage. Tie-down points should NEVER be used for towing purposes. Each tie-down point has a maximum load rating of 250 kg. Exceeding this force may lead to serious injury and/or vehicle damage. Always inspect tie-down points before use. DO NOT USE tie-down points under the following conditions: Once the tonneau is secure along the entire length of the tailgate, repeat steps 3 to 5 for the left and right hand sides of the load area. • Ensure that the tonneau is secure along the whole length of each side. Tie-Down Points • -137- Tie-down points show any sign of wear or damage. Rail channels supporting tie-down points show any sign of wear, damage or distortion. Load Carrying • Tie-down point locking bezel is damaged or broken or will not lock into place. • Tie-down point is not seated correctly within the support rail. To Fit Tie-Down Point 1. Engage base of tie-down point into rail channel while holding cleat vertically. 2. Slide along rail until pin on base of tie-down engages in desired hole in rail. 3. Push tie-down in and rotate quarterturn clockwise until tie-down cleat is horizontal and locking bezel ‘snaps’ into place. To Remove Tie-Down Point WARNING Bezel must fully engage into rail to secure tie-down point for safe use. If wording under bezel (‘NOT LOCKED’) is even partially visible, the tie-down is not correctly installed. 1. Cleat. 2. Bezel. 3. Pin. • Grasp locking bezel between thumb and finger(s) using finger recess. • Pull bezel away from rail until two lugs are fully disengaged from rail channel. • Turn tie-down point a quarter-turn anticlockwise until it snaps out of rail. -138- Load Carrying CHASSIS CAB TRAY Care of Tie-Down Point As tie-down points are removable it is suggested that they are removed when not in use and stored in a clean, dry place. Do not use tie-down point if damaged. Tie-down points are a non-serviceable part, so if damaged, they must be replaced. Wear on the paint during use is inevitable and will not detract from functionality. However, if cleat and loop become excessively worn (due to continued chafing by ropes or steel hooks and so on) the tie-down point should be replaced. If tie-down point becomes dirty, and bezel fails to move freely during fitting, tie down-point should be cleaned by running under a tap until all dirt has washed away from gaps between bezel, cleat and the return springs (which are visible on the underside of the tie-down). Moving the cleat up and down during cleaning helps dislodge dirt. When cleaning, the bezel should move freely and springs should always return bezel to its ‘locked’ position. Once clean, the tie-down point should be dried and stored in a clean, dry place. WARNING Be sure tailgate is raised and latched before driving away. Removing the Drop Sides 1. Remove the split pin from the righthand hinge on the tray tailgate. 2. Lower the tray tailgate down to horizontal level. 3. Slide the tray tailgate to the left and lower to the ground. 4. Remove the right-hand side split pin located at the hinge closest to the cabin. 5. Lower the right-hand tray side down to horizontal level. 6. Slide the tray side to the rear and lower to the ground. 7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the left-hand tray side. -139- Trailer Towing TRAILER TOWING VEHICLE AND TRAILER LOAD LIMITS Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger vehicle, but it may also be used to tow a trailer when a Fordapproved towing package is fitted, (without limiting your rights under the Ford Vehicle Warranty) provided you comply with all of the instructions in this section. Trailer towing can affect the handling, durability and fuel economy of your vehicle. The towing capability of your vehicle depends on the vehicle specification, load carried and condition, driving style, trailer size and specification, and also road, terrain and weather conditions. Trailer towing puts additional loads on your vehicle’s engine, transmission, axle, brakes, tyres, and suspension. For safety and to maximise vehicle performance, be sure to use the proper equipment while towing. Follow these guidelines: 1. Stay within your vehicle and trailer load limits. 2. Thoroughly prepare your vehicle for towing. 3. Use extra caution when driving while trailer towing. 4. Service your vehicle and perform journey checks. 5. Observe speed and initial load restrictions. Detailed explanations of the above guidelines are included in the following pages. The maximum permissible towed mass is dictated by vehicle and towbar design. There are also legal limits which depend on whether brakes or other equipment are fitted to the trailer, caravan, or other towed equipment which may vary according to the State or Territory in which your vehicle is operated. Check the laws and regulations in the location in which you will be towing before starting the journey. Maximum Towing Mass Maximum towing mass for applicable sedan vehicle is as follows: Vehicles with manual transmission 1,200 kg Vehicles with automatic transmission 2,300 kg XR8 with manual and automatic transmission 1,600 kg Refer to the following pages for requirements for appropriate towpack and vehicle operation restrictions. Vehicle Load Limits Applicable to Both Standard and Heavy Duty Towpack Refer to the Towing and Vehicle Load Limits table in this section. The maximum limits and ratings for the applicable model, powertrain and tyre combination are shown. Also refer to the following text relating to towball, tyres and towpacks. -140- Trailer Towing WARNING Do not exceed the applicable maximum permissible loads. Exceeding the GALR or maximum towing mass or towball download, or speed restrictions could result in substandard vehicle handling / performance, engine / transmission and / or structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, loss of control and/or personal injury. Where uncertainty exists, confirm your vehicle and trailer adherence to the applicable ratings / limits, by using a public or commercial weigh station. Towball Download To remain below the applicable towpack, towing and vehicle limits, the trailer towball download may need to be rebalanced; and/or the luggage may need to be transferred from the vehicle to the trailer being towed where appropriate; and/or the number of occupants restricted. WARNING Where higher occupant and luggage loads are desired, and to not exceed GALR ratings; the towball download may need to be less than the typical 10% of laden trailer mass. This may be achieved where practical by changing the load distribution on the trailer. Alternatively the vehicle occupant and luggage loads may require adjustment or be restricted. For safety and vehicle handling requirements, the trailer must maintain a reasonable download on the towball; (typically 5 to 10% of LTM, depending on trailer-load design). If the vehicle occupants or luggage are reduced during the journey, then rebalance the trailer load to increase the towball download, up to the typical 10% of the LTM. Ensure the GALR for the axles are not exceeded before continuing the towing journey. WARNING When towing with towball downloads at less than the typical 10% of LTM to avoid deterioration of steering control of the trailer, then additional driving caution and reduced speed may be necessary and / or may require the LTM to be reduced. Tyres WARNING Do not use replacement tyres with lower load carrying capacities than the original / specified tyres, as they lower the vehicle’s limitations. (Refer to the Towing and Vehicle Load Limits table in this section.) Replacement tyres with a higher limit than the originals do not increase the GALR limitations above the values in the table. Refer to your authorised Ford dealer for advice. WARNINGS Ensure tyre pressures are set correctly. Refer to the tyre placard (located on the inside of the glove box lid), the information in this section and to the tyre pressure tables in the ‘Wheels and Tyres’ section of this manual for further information. -141- Trailer Towing When the temporary space saver spare unit is fitted to the vehicle, drive with caution. Refit the standard wheel as soon as possible. Do not exceed 80 km/h when driving with the temporary space saver spare fitted, as the vehicle’s handling and braking performance will be affected. To minimise the effect on the vehicle’s performance, it is recommended to attach it in place of a front wheel. Where a rear wheel requires temporary replacement, it is recommended to transfer a front wheel to the rear where practicable, for both towing and nontowing conditions. General Refer to previous section for determining and adjusting vehicle loads. WARNING The loads for your vehicle will be dependent upon model and features fitted. So where uncertain, use a public or commercial weigh station to measure the mass of the laden vehicle, both front and rear axle loads, and the load on the trailer axles. Confirm compliance to applicable ratings. Standard Duty Towpack Equipment required is as follows: Refer to your trailer tyre supplier for applicable trailer tyre pressures. • Ford-approved Standard Duty 1,600 kg rated towbar. • Ford-approved Standard Duty 1,600 kg rated gooseneck/tongue. • Ford-approved trailer wiring kit. • ADR-approved towball. Tyre Pressures for Towing At higher vehicle laden mass and / or trailer towing combinations, ensure tyre pressures are set to the ‘Maximum Load’ pressures as laid out on the tyre placard (located on the inside of the glove box) and also in the tyre pressure tables in the ‘Wheels and Tyres’ section of this manual. Load Limits Specific to Standard Duty Towpack • The weight of the trailer and all its load and equipment (LTM) must not be greater than 1,600 kg. • The weight on the towball must not be greater than 160 kg. Do not exceed the applicable values listed in the Towing and Vehicle Load Limits table in the ‘Trailer Towing’ section of this manual. -142- Trailer Towing of the laden vehicle, after the application of the level-ride system, must not exceed the GALR-Front, of 1,165 kg. Refer to the Towing and Vehicle Load Limits table in this section . WARNING Aftermarket load levelling kits or weight distribution hitches are not approved for use on the Ford-approved Standard Duty Towbar. • Heavy Duty Towpack Refer to your Ford dealer for fitment with the following equipment: • Ford-approved heavy-duty towbar. • Ford-approved heavy-duty 2,300 kg gooseneck/tongue and load-levelling kit. • Ford-approved trailer wiring kit. • ADR approved towball. For instructions regarding the installation and usage of the Ford-approved 2,300 kg gooseneck and load-levelling kit, please refer to the information supplied with the load-levelling kit. Load Limits Specific to Heavy-Duty Towpack • The Ford-approved heavy-duty towbar when used with the 2,300 kg gooseneck incorporating the load-levelling device, must not tow a trailer with all its load and equipment (LTM) greater than 2,300 kg. • The weight on the towball must not be greater than 230 kg prior to the application of the load-levelling device. Also for towball downloads greater than 160 kg, the loadlevelling device must be applied. • Do not exceed the applicable values listed in the Towing and Vehicle Load Limits table in this section. • The front axle and tyre loadings The rear axle and tyre loadings of the laden vehicle, after the application of the level-ride system, must not exceed the applicable GALR-Rear, either prior to / or after the application of the level-ride system. Note: For convenience, the Fordapproved heavy-duty towbar is supplied with a 1,600 kg capacity gooseneck for use when towing a trailer mass not exceeding 1,600 kg. The heavy-duty towbar may be used to tow a trailer up to 1,600 kg (LTM) using the 1,600 kg gooseneck. With this gooseneck, the weight on the towball must not be greater than 160 kg. Aftermarket load levelling kits or weight distribution hitches are not suitable for use on the Ford-approved 1,600 kg heavy-duty gooseneck. The Ford-approved 2,300 kg gooseneck incorporating the load-levelling kit must be used when the LTM is greater than 1,600 kg, or the towball download exceeds 160 kg. -143- Trailer Towing General Equipment Advice for both Standard and Heavy Duty Towpacks It is advisable to confirm compliance to the GALR, GVM and trailer load limits by using a public or commercial weigh station. Load the trailer so that the weight on the towball is typically 10% of the towed weight to avoid detracting from its handling. Safety Chains Always connect the trailer’s safety chains to the frame or hook retainers of the vehicle towbar. To connect the trailer’s safety chains, cross the chains under the trailer towball and allow slack for turning corners. Torque the towball retaining nut to 175 Nm (130 lb ft), or to the manufacturer’s specification, and check the torque frequently. If the towbar tongue/gooseneck or the towball obscures the registration number plate or is a hazardous projection, remove it from the vehicle when not in use. Booster springs or ’Super Lift’ shock absorbers do not increase the towing capacity or load limits of the vehicle and towbar system. To retain the benefits of the Ford Vehicle Warranty, do not exceed the load limits. If you use a rental trailer, follow the instructions that the rental agency gives to you. Do not attach safety chains to the bumper. Trailer Brakes PREPARING TO TOW Refer to the instructions included with towing accessories for the proper installation and adjustment specifications for your towing system. Electric brakes and manual, automatic or surge-type trailer brakes are safe if installed properly and adjusted to the manufacturer’s specifications. The trailer brakes must meet local and Federal regulations. Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is properly attached to your vehicle. See your authorised Ford dealer or a reliable trailer dealer if you require assistance. Before commencing a journey, check that the towing equipment, lights, fluid levels, mirrors, tyres and tyre pressures and all gauges, controls and instruments operate correctly. Check all items frequently during the journey. -144- Trailer Towing WARNING Do not connect a trailer’s hydraulic brake system directly to your vehicle’s brake system. Your vehicle may not have enough braking power and your chances of having a collision greatly increase. Trailer Lamps Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights work correctly. See your authorised Ford dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions and equipment for connecting the trailer lamps. WARNING Never connect any trailer lighting to the vehicle’s tail lamp circuits, because it may damage the electrical system. Contact your authorised Ford dealer for assistance in proper trailer tow wiring installation. Additional electrical equipment may be required. Tyres Refer to the ‘Vehicle and Trailer Load Limits’ in this section for advice on tyres and tyre pressures. VEHICLE OPERATION WHILE TOWING The behaviour of your vehicle changes while towing a trailer. For example, if your trailer runs off the paved highway surface onto the road shoulder, resist the temptation to quickly turn the steering wheel to bring the trailer back onto the road. Instead, allow the left wheels of the vehicle to also run off onto the shoulder (if safe), then wait for the right conditions to steer the vehicle back onto the road. This should reduce any abrupt swerving reaction. WARNINGS There are legal limits for vehicle speeds when towing. Check the provisions of the relevant laws and regulations in the location in which towing is to be undertaken, before commencing your journey. Braking Allow a greater stopping distance than normal to prevent excessive braking. Avoid sudden or violent stops that could cause trailer slewing. Gear Changing To prevent the engine labouring when climbing hills or driving in strong headwinds and so on and to assist braking when driving down hill, manually select a suitable lower gear. Refer to the ‘Transmission’ section of this manual for advice on gear selection. Note: When towing heavy loads or in hilly terrain, it is recommended that ‘Performance Automatic Mode’ is selected. This results in cooler transmission temperatures and additional engine braking. Overtaking The ability of the vehicle to accelerate when towing is reduced. Allow greater overtaking distances when towing a trailer. -145- Trailer Towing SPEED AND INITIAL LOAD RESTRICTIONS - ITEMS i) and ii) Parking WARNINGS Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade (incline). If you must park on a grade, place wheel chocks under the trailer’s wheels. The catalytic converter becomes extremely hot during engine operation and continues to radiate heat after the engine is turned off. Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire. i) New Vehicle Towing Mass Restrictions (when towing with a new vehicle) To help prevent damage to your new vehicle, it is recommended to limit the towed mass for the first 3,000 km of travel as per the diagram below. Note: The load which your vehicle can tow is dependent on many factors. Refer to ‘Vehicle and Trailer Load Limits’ in this section for further information. Also refer to the severe/unusual conditions requirements contained in the Service Schedule, outlined in the Customer Assistance, Warranty and Service Guide. SERVICING YOUR VEHICLE AND JOURNEY CHECKS Refer ‘Preparing to Two’ in this section for checks before and during the journey. Towed Weight After you have travelled a short distance and again before 80 km, thoroughly check your hitch, electrical connectors and trailer wheel nuts. 2300kg Service your vehicle more frequently if you tow a trailer. Refer to the Severe Duty Schedule in the Customer Assistance, Warranty and Service Guide. 500kg Refer to a reputable trailer supplier for appropriate trailer checks and service requirements. 1600kg 1200kg 1500km 2000km 2500km 3000km Distance Travelled Note: If loads in excess of 1,200 kg are towed for an extended period and/or continuous high speed operation occurs during the vehicle run-in period, change the rear axle oil at the 15,000 km service. -146- Trailer Towing ii) Maximum Vehicle Speed when Towing weather, place the gearshift lever in P (Park) while stopped in traffic. If your vehicle has never been used for towing before, and you are towing heavy trailers or trailers with high aerodynamic drag (for example, horse floats or full sized caravans) then your vehicle speed should not exceed 85 km/h for the first 500 km of towing. • If you are driving down a long or steep hill, shift to a lower gear. • Do not apply the brakes continuously, as they may overheat and become less effective. • Also refer to websites and publications relating to Caravaning /Towing / Motoring for additional advice provided by authorities, associations and organisations involved with transport, traffic, automotive, caravaning, trailers, motoring and so on, for additional driving/towing tips. WARNING After the prior restrictions have been completed, the vehicle towing speed should not exceed the prescribed legal speed limits or the limits shown in the graph below (whichever is the lesser). Launching or Retrieving a Boat Max. Vehicle Speed (km/h) 100 When backing down a ramp during boat launching or retrieval: 80 • Do not allow the static water level to rise above the bottom edge of the rear bumper. • Do not allow waves to break higher than 15 cm above the bottom edge of the rear bumper. • Recheck electrical functions of the vehicle and trailer after each retrieval. • Check the brake operation of both vehicle and trailer. Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle as effectively as dry brakes. You can dry the brakes faster by driving the vehicle slowly whilst applying light pressure on the brake pedal. 60 40 0 1200 2300 1600 Towed Mass (kg) Trailer Towing Tips • Practice turning, stopping and backing up before starting on a trip to get the feel of the vehicle / trailer combination. • When turning, make wider turns so the trailer wheels will clear kerbs and other obstacles. • To aid in engine/transmission cooling and A/C efficiency during hot -147- Trailer Towing • Exceeding these limits may allow water to enter vehicle components which could cause internal damage to the components and affect driveability, emissions and reliability. Fuel Consumption The following suggestions may assist you in developing your driving techniques and in obtaining improved economy: • Observe the running-in advice provided in the ‘Introduction’ section of this manual. • When your vehicle is run in, drive at steady speeds where possible and avoid jiggling the accelerator. • Warming the engine is not necessary. • Keep the tyres inflated to the correct pressure. • Have the vehicle serviced r-egularly in accordance with the service schedule. • Use full throttle as little as possible. • Drive at moderate speeds; the best fuel economy is achieved between 60 and 100 km/h. Constant low speed driving does not necessarily give good fuel economy. • Anticipate traffic conditions ahead and slow down gradually with minimal use of brakes. -148- Trailer Towing Maximum Towing Capacity h) k) kg With Unbraked Trailer (all vehicle models) 750 With Braked Trailer (all manual transmission models) 1200 With Braked Trailer (all automatic transmission models) 2300 Maximum Towball Download h) kg With Ford-Approved 1600 kg Towing System 160 With Ford-Approved 2300 kg Towing System i) 230 TOWING AND VEHICLE LOAD LIMITS (kg) h) j) m) n) o) Vehicle Type 1 Tonne Models b) XR6 with Sports Suspension Front Axle Load (max) Rear Axle Load (max) Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) f) h) j) l) m) f) h) j) m) a) Gross Combination Mass (GCM) When Towing c) e) h) j) Manual Trans Auto Trans (1600 kg Standard Duty Towpack) Auto Trans (2300 kg Standard Duty Towpack) d) 1165 1700 2820 3900 4260 4890 1165 1240 2325 3405 3765 4395 1165 1170 2285 3365 3725 4355 e) g) XR6 Turbo Model e) m) -149- Trailer Towing Notes: k) Refer to the ‘TrailerTowing section of this manual for the chart of maximum vehicle speed requirements; when towing at higher LTM values or at maximum towing mass. a) Refer to the vehicle ID / compliance label for the applicable GVM for the vehicle. b) Including when 1-tonne suspension option fitted. c) GCM quoted = GVM + towing capacity - towball loading.

Check the appropriate fuses before replacing any electrical components. -162- Vehicle Recovery TOWING THE VEHICLE Using the Towing Eye Commercial Towing The screw-in towing eye is stored in the foam moulding in the jack storage compartment and must always be kept on-board. Tray towing is the preferred method of moving a disabled vehicle to avoid damage. WARNING When tray towing, your vehicle must not be secured by crosstying. The vehicle should be secured to the anchor points on the towing tray by wheel tie-down straps. WARNINGS The wheel tie-down method is the only safe way to attach the vehicle to a towing tray. Lashing down the vehicle at any other point (for example, sub-frame, suspension/steering components, towing eye) may cause damage which might affect the safety of the vehicle. The vehicle should NOT be towed with only two wheels on the ground. Damage to the vehicle may result. It can be screwed in at the front of the vehicle, and is only to be used for pulling the vehicle onto a commercial towing tray in the event of a breakdown. WARNINGS The towing eye is the only location from which the vehicle can be safely pulled onto the breakdown vehicle. Pulling the vehicle from any other point (for example, subframe, suspension/steering components) may cause damage which might affect the safety of the vehicle. Always remove the towing eye from the towing bracket after use. -163- Vehicle Recovery Failure to do so may cause interference to the vehicle’s supplementary restraint system in the event of an accident. The towing eye should never be used to pull a vehicle out of snow, mud, sand and so on. Installing the Towing Eye Prise off the plastic cover from the towing eye anchor location depicted above. The cover is on a tag and remains attached to the car. Screw the towing eye fully into the threaded anchor location and tighten a further quarterturn using the handle/wheelbrace as a lever. WARNING Ensure the towing eye is screwed in fully and tightened using the handle/wheel brace as a lever (quarterturn) to avoid the risk of the thread being damaged, or the towing eye becoming loose and coming off. -164- Maintenance SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Cooling System Engine Compartment WARNING WARNING The ignition must be switched off before working in the engine compartment. Under some operating conditions, the cooling system fan may continue to run for several minutes after the engine has been switched off. This is normal. Take care not to get any fingers or clothing such as ties or scarves caught in the fan. Do not allow coolant to contact eyes or skin; wash any contact area immediately with water. If swallowed, seek medical advice. Avoid inhaling vapour; use additives in a well ventilated area. Avoid coolant contact with vehicle paint work; wash any contact area immediately with water. Fuel Fumes WARNING Exhaust Gases WARNINGS Never operate the engine inenclosed areas. Never sit in a parked or stopped vehicle for any extended period of time with the engine running. Exhaust gases, particularly carbon monoxide, can be harmful to health and are potentially lethal. Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless and can be present in exhaust fumes. Therefore, if you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle, do not remain in the vehicle with the windows closed. Report the condition to your authorised Ford dealer immediately. Always stop the engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the vehicle when refuelling. If fuel fumes are noticed while driving, the cause should be determined and corrected without delay. High Voltage WARNING Engines with an electronic ignition system can generate very high voltages. Care should be taken when servicing to avoid contact with conductive parts to avoid severe electrical shock. These systems can produce dangerous high tension voltages in the primary and secondary circuit. Please ensure that all work is carried out with the utmost care. Before removing or refitting any parts or electrical connections, ensure that the ignition system is switched off. -165- Maintenance Vehicle Battery Do not weld in close proximity to electronic components or materials that may be damaged by heat or are inflammable. WARNINGS Batteries emit an explosive gas mixture which can be ignited by spark or flame. Keep sparks and flames away from the battery at all times. Installation of Auxiliary Equipment CAUTION Never smoke near a battery. Batteries contain sulphuric acid. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, flush immediately with large amounts of water. In the case of eye contact, see a doctor immediately. Take care with all metal objects including tools, items you are wearing (jewellery, rings, metal watchbands, and so on) near battery terminals. Metal objects touching battery terminals can cause serious burns to the user or wearer. CAUTION Switch the ignition key off and ensure all accessories are off before disconnecting battery terminals. Damage to electrical components may result if switched on when the battery is disconnected, or if vehicles with flat batteries are connected to boost starting batteries while the ignition is switched on. Electric Welding CAUTION Electric welding on the vehicle can cause damage to electrical components. Ensure the negative battery connection is removed from the battery terminal before commencing an electrical welding process. To avoid any damage to the vehicle, check with an authorised Ford dealer to ensure correct installation of auxiliary equipment. Fitment of some non-Ford/Motorcraft accessories (such as alarms and other electronically controlled devices) may affect normal vehicle operation due to electromagnetic interference emitted by these accessories.

New engines reach the normal value only after approximately 10,000 km. High-performance engines consume slightly more. Under high loads, your engine also consumes more oil. Check the engine oil periodically; for example, when refuelling or prior to long journeys. A = Minimum Check the engine oil level with the engine at operating temperature and make sure the vehicle is standing on level ground. B = Maximum Switch the ignition off and wait a few minutes for the engine oil to flow back to the sump. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth, reinsert it completely and pull it out once more. I6 Engine Oil Dipstick The oil level is shown by the oil film adhering to the dipstick. If the level lies between the ’ADD’ and ’FULL’ marks there is no need to refill. Hot oil may exceed the ‘FULL’ mark for some millimetres due to thermal expansion. If the oil lies in the ‘ADD’ region, refill using only engine oil meeting the Ford specification. Refer to the ‘Fluid Specification’ section in the Customer Assistance, Warranty and Service Guide. Never top up above the ‘MAX’ mark. Full Add Engine Oil Filler Cap To open, unscrew in an anti-clockwise direction. Do not open the cap while the engine is running. Oil additives are neither necessary nor recommended and could, under certain conditions, lead to engine damage. Note: Empty and used oil containers must not be disposed of in household waste. Use your local authorised waste disposal facilities or recycling station. -170- Maintenance ENGINE COOLANT CHECK Adding Oil Sedan Coolant Container WARNINGS Only add oil when the engine is cold. If the engine is hot, wait ten minutes for the engine to cool down. Failure to take care may result in personal injury. MAX MIN Do not remove the filler cap when the engine is running. Failure to take care may result in personal injury. 1. Remove the filler cap. 2. Add oil that meets Ford specifications. 3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel a strong resistance. V8 Coolant Container Note: Do not add oil further than the maximum mark. Oil levels above the maximum mark may cause engine damage. Note: Soak up any spillage with an absorbent cloth immediately. HOT MAX COLD MAX MIN WARNING Never remove the filler cap when the engine is hot. The coolant level is visible through the translucent reservoir. The coolant level should be between the ‘MIN’ and the ‘MAX’ markings when the engine is cold.

If coolant has to be added when the engine is hot, first wait ten minutes for the engine to cool. BRAKE FLUID CHECK Initially, using a thick cloth to protect against venting steam, slowly unscrew the cap until the pressure begins to escape. X MA N MI When the system is fully vented, carefully remove the cap. Top up with coolant that meets the Ford specification for your vehicle and according to your needs. Refer to the ‘Fluid Specification’ section in the Customer Assistance, Warranty and Service Guide. When filling the reservoir after the coolant level has fallen below the ‘MIN’ level, ensure that you check the coolant level and top up as necessary following the next drive cycle. If in any doubt about the filling process, refer to your authorised Ford dealer. WARNING Do not allow brake fluid to contact the skin or eyes. If this does happen, rinse the affected area with water. CAUTION WARNING Do not allow coolant to come into contact with skin or eyes. If this should happen, immediately rinse the affected areas with water. Modern engines run at very high temperatures and inferior quality coolants are ineffectual in maintaining adequate corrosion protection to the cooling system. For this reason, only use coolant which meets the Ford specifications. Refer to the ‘Fluid Specification’ section in the Customer Assistance, Warranty and Service Guide. Brake fluid will damage paintwork. If splashed or spilt on a painted surface, wash off immediately with water. The level of the fluid must lie at the ‘MAX’ mark on the side of the reservoir. Add only brake fluid that meets the Ford specification. Refer to the ‘Fluid Specification’ section in the Customer Assistance Warranty and Service Guide. Absolute hygiene must be observed when topping up with brake fluid. Any dirt entering the brake system may cause loss of brake performance. Do not expose brake fluid to the atmosphere any longer than is necessary. -172- Maintenance CLUTCH FLUID CHECK POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK Full Add Full Add WARNING Do not allow clutch fluid to contact the skin or eyes. If this does happen, rinse the affected area with water. CAUTION Clutch fluid will damage paintwork. If splashed or spilt on a painted surface, wash off immediately with water. The level of the fluid must lie at the ‘MAX’ mark on the side of the reservoir. Add only clutch fluid that meets the Ford specification. Refer to the ‘Fluid Specification’ section in the Customer Assistance, Warranty and Service Guide. Absolute hygiene must be observed when topping up with clutch fluid. Any dirt entering the clutch system may cause loss of clutch performance. Do not expose clutch fluid to the atmosphere any longer than is necessary. To achieve an accurate reading always check when the engine is cold. The fluid level should be kept between the ‘FULL’ and ‘ADD’ markings. If it drops below the ‘ADD’ mark, top up with fluid meeting the Ford specification. Refer to the ‘Fluid Specification’ section in the Customer Assistance, Service and Warranty Guide. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID The automatic transmission is sealed at the factory. The fluid level does not need to be checked unless leaks or reduced performance are noticed.

Keep sparks, flames and lit cigarettes away from the battery at all times. Batteries contain sulphuric acid. If the acid contacts the eyes, skin or clothing, flush immediately with large amounts of water. If the acid contacts the eyes, consult a doctor immediately. The battery requires minimal maintenance. If the electrolyte level is low, add enough distilled water to keep the level about 10 mm over the cell plates. Do not overfill. Keep the battery clean, dry and securely mounted. Coat the terminals with petroleum grease to prevent corrosion. The plastic shield must always be refitted, if removed for any reason, before driving the vehicle. -174- Vehicle Care VEHICLE CARE Regular care of your vehicle is recommended. The following advice will assist you in maintaining the condition of your vehicle. Washing Your Vehicle possible. Deposits not removed promptly can cause damage to the vehicle’s paintwork. Remove the antenna mast before entering an automatic car wash. Ensure the mast is screwed on firmly when reattaching it, to maintain optimum radio reception performance. WARNING If you use a car wash with a waxing cycle, make sure that you remove the wax from the windscreen. Note: Prior to washing your vehicle, please ensure that you are complying with any water restrictions in force in your local area. CAUTIONS Some car wash installations use water at high pressure. This could damage certain parts of your vehicle. Automatic Car Wash When cleaning, avoid spraying high pressure water into the passengerside cowl grille (located at the base of the front windscreen) as this may result in water entry to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. Wash your vehicle regularly, particularly in coastal areas or where salt or chemicals are in the air or used on the roads. Use warm or cold water. Tree sap, insects, bird droppings and road grime or tar may be difficult to remove with water alone. Use a mild soap solution or suitable mild detergent for washing, and then rinse with clear water immediately. The best procedure is brushless washing in a good car wash installation. In car wash installations operating with high water pressure, water might be forced into the vehicle interior. Washing by Hand Rinse with plenty of water if using a car shampoo. Dry the vehicle with a chamois leather. Remember to include regular underbody washing. In areas of heavy concentrations of corrosive materials; for example, salt, the entire underbody should be thoroughly washed and inspected frequently, particularly after wet seasons. Any petrol spilt on the vehicle or deposits such as bird droppings, tree sap, insects or road grime should be washed and sponged off as soon as -175- Vehicle Care When using any cleaner or polish, always follow the directions on the label. Read all warning and caution statements which appear on the label. Interior Cleaning Any petrol spill on the vehicle or deposits such as bird droppings should be washed and sponged off as soon as possible. Interior cleaning of trims and surfaces including the Interior Command Centre (ICC), should be done by using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Deposits not removed promptly can cause damage to the vehicle’s paintwork. For stubborn areas, you may apply a small amount of non-ammonia, nonalcohol based cleaner. Polishing Take care not to spill beverages or liquid air fresheners on the trims and surfaces. Also do not clean with excessive pressure or with solvents as this may cause permanent damage. The vehicle should be washed and dried before being polished. In areas of industrial fallout, dust, heavy rain, salt air, insects, bird droppings and frequent parking under trees, the addition of a suitable polish or wax is advised. Do not wipe the headlamps when they are dry. Seatbelts WARNINGS Paint Chip Repair Do not use abrasives or chemical solvents to clean seatbelts. Paint damage from road chippings or minor scratches can be dealt with using touch up paint from the Ford accessory range. Observe the application instructions on the label. Do not allow moisture to penetrate the seatbelt retractor mechanism. Clean the seatbelts with interior cleaner or water applied with a soft sponge. Let them dry naturally, away from artificial heat. Wheel Cleaning Wheels are coated with a protective finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners, polishing compounds, solvents or wire brushes that might scratch or damage the finish. Avoid washing the wheels using a high pressure washing device. Cleaning the Headlamps CAUTIONS Do not scrape the headlamp lenses or use abrasives, alcoholic solvents or chemical solvents to clean them. -176- Vehicle Battery BOOSTER (JUMP) STARTING Booster Lead Connecting Procedure WARNINGS Jump starting could be dangerous if done incorrectly. Therefore, if the following conditions cannot be met, or if you are uncertain about them, we strongly recommend that you leave the procedure to a competent mechanic or towing service. Remove the filler vent caps from both batteries and place a damp cloth over the batteries. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, do not allow the two vehicles to touch. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads. Firmly apply the park brake on both vehicles and select neutral gear (manual transmission) or Park (automatic transmission). - Do not attempt a jump-start if the discharged battery is frozen or if the battery fluid level is low, as the battery may rupture or explode. - Flames, sparks or lit cigarettes can cause the gases around the battery to explode, causing injury and damage. Keep these things away from the battery. Ensure the battery to be used for boosting is 12V and that the negative terminal is grounded. If instructions are not observed, damage to electronic components may result. To protect yourself when charging a battery, always shield your face and eyes. Ensure proper ventilation and that you can breathe fresh air. 12V 12V 1. Connect the red lead to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery. 2. Connect the other end of the same red lead to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery. 3. Connect the black lead to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery. 4. Connect the other end of the same black lead to the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery. Do not let children touch the battery. Batteries contain sulphuric acid which burns skin, eyes and clothing. If the acid touches someone’s skin, eyes or clothing, immediately flush the area with water for at least fifteen minutes.

Check and set the tyre pressure at the ambient temperature in which you are intending to drive your vehicle and when the tyres are cold. Note: Check your tyre pressures regularly to optimise fuel economy. Note: Use only approved wheel and tyre sizes. Using other sizes could damage your vehicle and will make the National Type Approval invalid. Note: If you change the diameter of the tyres from that fitted at the factory, the speedometer may not display the correct speed. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have the engine management system reprogrammed. USING SNOW CHAINS If snow chains are fitted to your vehicle, ensure that they are fitted properly and are suitable for your vehicle to avoid damage to tyres, wheels and the vehicle, as per instructions provided. Your vehicle has been designed to have snow chains fitted to the rear wheels only. Due to clearance constraints, the fitting of snow chains to the front wheels results in wheel lock-up and loss of control of the vehicle. Note: The anti-lock braking system will continue to operate normally. CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL WARNINGS Drive the shortest possible distances. Do not fit more than one spare wheel on your vehicle at any one time. Do not carry out any tyre repairs on the spare wheel. WARNINGS Do not exceed 40 km/h. Do not use snow chains on snow-free roads. Only fit snow chains to specified tyres. Do not drive through an automatic car wash. If you are unsure what type of spare wheel you have do not exceed 80 km/h. Only fit snow chains to specified tyres. Only use small link snow chains. If your vehicle has wheel trims, remove them before fitting snow chains. The ground clearance of your vehicle may be reduced. Take care when parking next to a curb. Tyre sealants that are injected through the valve stem are not to be used to service punctured tyres because they can produce wheel rust and tyre imbalance. If the spare wheel is -179- Wheels and Tyres exactly the same type and size as the other fitted road wheels, you can replace the existing road wheel with the spare wheel and continue to drive in the normal manner. If the spare wheel is different to the other road wheels, it will carry a label with the appropriate speed limit. Refer to the following information before changing the road wheel. Vehicle Jack WARNINGS WARNING WARNING: The jack supplied with this vehicle is only intended for changing wheels. Do not use the vehicle jack other than when you are changing a wheel in an emergency. Vehicle Jack Location The jack kit is stored behind the passenger seat. To access the components of the jack kit, turn the retaining wheel anti-clockwise and remove the container housing the kit from the vehicle. Ensure screwthread is adequately lubricated before use. The jack should be used on level firm ground wherever possible. Switch the ignition off and apply park brake fully before lifting vehicle. It is recommended that the wheels of the vehicle be chocked, and that no person should remain in a vehicle that is being jacked. No person should place any portion of their body under a vehicle that is supported by a jack. WARNING: Do not get under a vehicle that is supported by a jack.

Once the cable is fully unwound, carefully pull the spare wheel out from under the vehicle and remove the retainer from the centre of the spare wheel. 4. When installing the flat tyre to the winch, the centre cap fitted to the alloy wheel will first need to be removed. Replace the wheel face up. Wind the winch fully up. The components of the jack kit are as follows: • Retaining Wheel. • Towing Eye. • Jack. • Winch Rod. • Wheel Brace. • Container. Removing the Spare Wheel WARNING Wheel/tyre assemblies are heavy. Care should be taken when removing/replacing/handling wheels or spare wheel. 1. 2. To remove the spare wheel, fully insert the winch rod (small end first) into the recessed hole in the bumper bar or in the chassis for tray ute. The large end of the winch rod has a hexagonal head which fits into the wheel brace. Use the wheel brace to turn the winch anti-clockwise and lower the spare wheel. Note: The spare wheel is located underneath the rear of the vehicle, held in place by a winch cable device. The spare wheel is removed using components from the jack kit (Refer to ‘Jack Kit Location’ later in this section). Jack and Lifting Positions WARNING Use only the specified jacking points. If you use other positions, you may damage the body, steering, suspension, engine, braking system or the fuel lines. -181- Wheels and Tyres 1. Do not jack a vehicle on a slope. 2. Firmly apply the park brake and ‘Park’ mode on the transmission. 3. Block the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed. Remove ignition keys and lock the steering. 4. If your vehicle is fitted with wheel nut concealing centre caps, use the flat end of the jack handle between the wheel rim and the cover to progressively prise the cover away at points around the surrounding rim. 5. 6. Loosen each wheel nut approximately half a turn in an anticlockwise direction. If locking wheel nuts are fitted, use the adaptor supplied in the glove compartment to undo and refit those nuts. Position the jack under the vehicle at the appropriate jacking point between the tabs as shown in the diagram. E92932 Removing a Road Wheel WARNINGS Park your vehicle in such a position that neither the traffic nor you are hindered or endangered. Make sure that the wheels are pointing straight ahead. If your vehicle has a manual transmission, move the selector lever to first or reverse gear. If it has an automatic transmission, move the selector lever to position (P). Secure the diagonally opposite wheel with an appropriate block or wheel chock. Make sure that the jack is vertical to the jacking point and the base is flat on the ground. 7. The jacking point of the vehicle needs to be centrally located in the slot of the jack head. Jack up the vehicle so that the wheel is just off the ground. Never place anything between the vehicle jack and your vehicle. Do not lay alloy wheels face down on the ground, this will damage the paint. -182- Wheels and Tyres Installing a Road Wheel Note: Make sure the wheel and hub contact surfaces are free from foreign matter. WARNINGS Make sure that the arrows on directional tyres point in the direction of rotation when your vehicle is moving forward. If you have to fit a spare wheel with the arrows pointing in the opposite direction, have the tyre refitted in the correct direction by an authorised dealer. Note: Make sure that the cones on the wheel nuts are against the wheel. 1. Install the wheel. 2. Install the wheel nuts finger tight. 1 4 3 Use only approved wheel and tyre sizes. Using other sizes could damage your vehicle and will make the National Type Approval invalid. Refer to the ‘Technical Specifications’ section of this manual for further information. 2 5 Do not fit or run flat tyres on vehicles that were not originally fitted with them. See an authorised dealer for more details about compatibility. 3.E75442 Partially tighten the wheel nuts in the sequence shown. 4. Lower your vehicle and remove the jack. Do not install alloy wheels using wheel nuts designed for use with steel wheels. 5. Fully tighten the wheel nuts in the sequence shown. 6. Install the wheel trim using the ball of your hand. Wheel nuts are subject to change. You must make sure that you use only the specific wheel nuts and wheels supplied for your vehicle. If in doubt see an authorised dealer. Make sure there is no lubrication (grease or oil) on the threads. This can cause the wheel nuts to loosen while driving. Note: The wheel nuts of alloy wheels and spoked steel wheels can also be used for the steel spare wheel for a short time (maximum two weeks). Wheel Nut Torque WARNINGS Have the wheel nuts checked for tightness and the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible. Wheel Type Nm All 115-155 Nm Note: It is recommended that the locking wheel nut adaptor (if equipped) be stored in a convenient and secure place. -183- Wheels and Tyres Directional Tyres Driving with the Temporary Spare Wheel WARNING WARNINGS When using the spare tyre in the reverse direction with wet road conditions, drive cautiously and reduce speed. Drive to the nearest tyre repair centre to have the flat tyre repaired. Refit the standard wheel as soon as possible. Your vehicle may be fitted with directional tyres. An arrow on the tyre sidewall indicates the direction of rotation. Tyres should be fitted to the correct side for optimum performance and wet weather grip. The spare tyre may be fitted to the vehicle in the reverse direction, but should be corrected as soon as possible. Temporary Spare Wheel (if equipped) Your vehicle may be equipped with a temporary spare wheel which is dissimilar to the standard wheels fitted to your vehicle. Refer to the label on the temporary spare wheel for all warnings associated with the fitment and operation of the temporary spare wheel. When the temporary spare wheel is installed, drive with caution. Do not exceed the maximum restricted speed and towing capacity for your temporary spare wheel and drive the shortest distance possible as the vehicle’s handling and braking performance will be affected. Do not operate your vehicle with more than one temporary spare wheel fitted at the same time or vehicle stability and performance will be affected. You may notice increased road noise and vehicle vibration when driving with the temporary spare wheel fitted. This is normal and is intended to alert the driver that the temporary spare wheel is fitted. Always refit the standard wheel as soon as possible. Do not repair a damaged temporary spare wheel. Do not use commercial car washing equipment when a temporary spare wheel is fitted. Do not fit snow chains to tyres on an axle where a temporary spare wheel is fitted. -184- Wheels and Tyres Tyre Pressures for Standard Tyres Tyre Pressures (when tyres are cold) Pressure kPa (psi) Model Tyre Size Normal Load Maximum Load Front Rear Front Rear 215/60 R16C 103/101 T 210 (30) 210 (30) 240 (35) 420 (60) XR Ute 245/40 R18 XL 97Y 210 (30) 210 (30) 250/36) 270 (39) XR Turbo/Special Pack 245/35 R19 XL 93Y 250 (36) 250 (36) 290 (42) 290 (42) XR Ute Spare 235/50 R17 96V 210 (30) 210 (30) 240 (35) 250 (36) Base Ute/ XR Cab Chassis One-Tonne Ute TYRES (located on either the driver side B-pillar or door), when driving over 160 km/h.

Standard Tyres Front of car Directional Tyres Standard Tyres with Spare Note: For consistent high speed operation, cold inflation pressures must be increased by 30 kPa (4 psi). Note: Maximum cold tyre inflation pressures must not exceed 300 kPa (44 psi) (excluding temporary spare). Note: Tyre size, load rating index and speed ratings are moulded onto the tyre side wall. Note: Tyre speed and load ratings must not be exceeded when operating the vehicle. Take particular care when using the vehicle for heavy loads (for example, trailer towing) or high speed operation. Note: For trailer towing, refer to the tyre pressure information in the ‘Trailer Towing’ section of this manual. Note: If tyres are replaced, do not fit tyres that have a speed rating or load rating index of less than that shown as a minimum on the tyre placard (located on the inside of the glove box). Note: Failure to follow these instructions can result in a loss of vehicle stability due to tyre failiure that could lead to serious injury or death. If you are not sure about the proper tyre inflation pressures, contact your authorised Ford Motor Company dealership or service centre. Tyre Rotation To make sure the front and rear tyres of your vehicle wear evenly and last longer, we recommend that you swap the Replacing Tyres WARNINGS When replacing full size tyres, never mix radial bias-belted, or bias-belted tyres. Use only the tyre sizes that are listed on the tyre placard (located on the inside of the glove box). Ensure that all tyres are the same size, speed rating, and load-carrying capacity. Tyre sealants that are injected through the valve stem are not to be used to service punctured tyres, unless approved by Ford, because they can produce wheel corrosion and tyre imbalance. Your vehicle has been fitted with tyres that have been optimally matched to contribute to safe and economical handling. When fitting tyres, it is strongly recommended that you use the type and make originally fitted to your vehicle. For further information, contact your authorised Ford dealer. Note: Tread wear indicators are moulded into the bottom of the tread grooves to aid in determining when to replace the tyre.Tyre should be replaced before the tread wears down to the same height as the wear indicators. -186- Vehicle Identification VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION LABEL 1 FORD MOTOR COMPANY OF AUSTRALIA LTD VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION LABEL 2 This label contains the vehicle model, identification number, and special vehicle components.
