Child safety
CHILD SEATS
WARNINGS If your vehicle has been involved in an accident, have the child restraints checked by properly trained technicians. Note: Mandatory use of child restraints varies from country to country. A choice of ECE approved child restraints which have been specifically tested and approved for your vehicle are available from your Dealer.
E68916

WARNINGS Secure children that are less than 150 centimetres tall or less than 12 years of age in a suitable, approved child restraint, in the rear seat. Original text according to ECE R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it! Read and follow the manufacturers instructions when you are fitting a child restraint. Do not modify child restraints in any way. Do not hold a child on your lap when the vehicle is moving. Do not leave unattended children in your vehicle.

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS
Attaching child safety seats with top tethers

E75531

Your vehicle has been equipped with ISOFIX attachments. Your Ford Dealer will be pleased to make them accessible. The ISOFIX system consists of two rigid latching arms on the child seat, which attach to anchor points at the base of the vehicle seat back. When made available by your Ford Dealer, the two lower anchor points may be found in the rear seating rows and are labelled with a circular pictogram and the word ISOFIX. The funnel guides enable the latching arms of an ISOFIX child seat to be easily and securely attached. ISOFIX child seats not approved by Ford have not been validated by Ford, and neither the safety nor the suitability of such seats can be certified, whether installed using the ISOFIX system or the normal seat belts.

E78299

WARNINGS Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor. Ford does not recommend the use of an ISOFIX system without the use of an anti-rotation device, such as a top tether anchor or support leg, correctly installed. There is a risk of death or serious injury when the manufacturers instructions are not followed properly or when the child restraint is modified in any way.

24

Child safety
A third anchor point has been provided for child seats that are equipped with a top tether, available for use in the forward facing configuration. The top tether anchors in your vehicle are located on the floor of the luggage compartment. The tether strap should be routed beneath the raised rear head restraint, to the anchor point on the floor of the luggage compartment. The anchor point is identified by a pictogram. After installing the child safety seat, tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturers instructions.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Airbags

E78293

WARNING Do not modify the front of the vehicle in any way as this can adversely affect airbag deployment. Note: A loud bang will be heard when an airbag deploys and it is normal to see a cloud of harmless powdery residue. The airbag system comprises the following: single-stage inflatable nylon bags (airbags) with gas generators side airbags curtain airbags seat belt pretensioners a seat belt reminder crash sensors.

a warning lamp in the instrument panel. an airbag deactivation switch an airbag deactivation indicator in the instrument panel an electronic control and diagnostic unit.

E72330

27

Occupant protection
WARNINGS Repairs to either of the front seat covers, the sensors attached to the seats as well as to the roof lining should only be carried out by properly trained technicians. Injuries may result if the side airbags are triggered inadvertently. Do not block, obstruct or cover the airbag because it may prevent proper deployment. Do not poke any sharp objects into the areas where airbags are fitted. This could damage the airbags. Do not use any accessory seat covers that are not specifically designed for seats with side airbags. These seat covers must be fitted by properly trained technicians. WARNING Always wear the seat belt and keep sufficient distance between the driver and the steering wheel. Only when the seat belt is used properly, can it hold the body in a position which allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. There is a risk of injury when the airbag deploys. The seat and back must be set correctly for the airbags to be optimally effective. See Sitting in the correct position (page 120). This is the ideal seating position for the driver and front passenger and helps reduce the risk of injury from sitting too close to an inflating airbag.

E66553

E72325

28

Occupant protection
The front airbags activate during significant collisions which are either frontal or up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbags inflate within a few thousandths of a second. They will deflate on contact with the front occupants thus cushioning forward body movement. WARNINGS Repairs to the steering wheel, steering column and airbag system should be carried out by properly trained technicians. Always keep the areas in front of the airbags free. Never affix anything to or over these areas. These areas should only be wiped with a damp cloth, never with a wet cloth. Side air bags

E72326

During minor collisions as well as overturns and rear or side collisions, the front airbag system will not be activated.

E72328

A label on the seatback indicates that side airbags are fitted. The side airbags are fitted on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats. In case of a severe lateral collision, the airbag on the side affected by the collision will be inflated.
E78294

The airbag will inflate between the door panel and occupant. Once the occupants body contacts the airbag, the propellant escapes, thereby cushioning the impact.

29

Occupant protection
The side airbags are not activated upon minor lateral collisions nor upon front or rear impacts. Curtain air bags WARNINGS The seat belts should fit tightly around the body. Seat belt pretensioner

E72329 E72333

Moulded badges in the A- and B-piller trims indicate that curtain air bags are fitted. The curtain airbags are fitted over the front and rear side windows inside the roof lining. In case of a severe lateral collision, the air bag on the side affected by the collision will be inflated. The curtain air bags are not activated upon minor lateral collisions nor upon front or rear impacts.

WARNING The belt pretensioners must not be removed. If the pretensioners are deployed during an accident, they must be replaced. Have the pretensioners serviced and disposed of by specially trained personnel only. The restraint system, with belt pretensioners in the front seats, helps to reduce the risk of serious injury in a major frontal impact. During a serious crash the seat belts are pretensioned to help reduce slack in the belt. The safety belt pretensioner is a device which removes excess webbing from the safety belt system. When the safety belt pretensioner deploys, webbing from the lap and shoulder belt is tightened.

Seat belts
WARNINGS Use seat belts at all times. Never use a seat belt for more than one person. Avoid wearing thick clothing.

30

Occupant protection
The belt pretensioner is not triggered in any side, rear or minor frontal collisions.

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS


E78079

When in use, the rear seat belts should be placed in the belt guides on the outboard seatbacks.

E74124

WARNING Insert the tongue into the buckle until a distinct click is heard, otherwise the seat belt will not be locked correctly. Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if pulled sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope. To release the belt, press the red button on the buckle and let the belt rewind completely and smoothly.
E74127

WARNING In order to ensure that the centre belt works properly, the rear seatback must be correctly engaged. Make sure that each seat belt uses the correct buckle.

31

Occupant protection

E74125

E74126

The retractor for the rear centre seat belt is located in the roof. To fasten the seat belt, pull it out steadily and engage the smaller, black tongue in the smaller black buckle to the right of the centre seat.

Then pull the larger tongue across the lap and engage it in the larger buckle to the left of the centre seat. To release the belt, first press the red button on the left buckle and let the belt rewind. If in constant use, the belt can be left buckled in the right-hand buckle. When not in use, or when folding or moving the rear seats, the belt should be released from the right-hand buckle by pressing the button on the side of the buckle and letting the belt rewind smoothly to the retractor in the roof.

E78080

32

Occupant protection
Fold the smaller seat belt tongue back and insert the larger belt tongue into the retaining slot as shown. WARNING Position the seat belt correctly for your safety and that of your unborn child. Do not use only the lap strap or the shoulder strap. Position the lap strap comfortably across your hips and low beneath your pregnant abdomen. Position the shoulder strap between your breasts, above and to the side of your pregnant abdomen.

Fitting the passenger airbag deactivation switch
WARNING If you need to fit a child restraint on a seat protected by an operational airbag in front of it, have a passenger airbag deactivation switch fitted. Ask your dealer for further information. Note: The key switch is located in the glove compartment with an airbag deactivation lamp in the instrument panel. If the airbag warning lamp illuminates or flashes when you are driving, this indicates a malfunction. See Warning lamps and indicators (page 90). Remove the child restraint and have the system checked immediately.

Engine immobiliser
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The engine immobiliser is a theft protection system that prevents someone from starting the engine with an incorrectly coded key.

DISARMING THE ENGINE IMMOBILISER


The engine immobiliser is disarmed automatically when you switch the ignition on with a correctly coded key. The indicator in the instrument cluster will come on for approximately three seconds and then go out. If the indicator stays on for one minute or flashes for approximately one minute and then repeatedly at irregular intervals, your key has not been recognised. Remove the key and try again. If you attempt to start the engine with an incorrectly coded key, you will need to wait for approximately 20 seconds before attempting to start the engine again with a correctly coded key. If you are unable to start the engine with a correctly coded key, this indicates a malfunction. Have the immobiliser checked immediately.

CODED KEYS
Note: Do not shield your keys with metal objects. This may prevent the receiver from recognising your key as a valid one. Note: Have all of your remaining keys erased and recoded if you lose a key. Ask your dealer for further information. Have replacement keys recoded together with your existing keys. If you lose a key, you can obtain a replacement from your Ford Dealer. If possible, provide them with the key number from the tag provided with the original keys. You can also obtain additional keys from your Ford Dealer.

ARMING THE ENGINE IMMOBILISER


The engine immobiliser is armed automatically a short time after you have switched the ignition off. The indicator in the instrument cluster will flash to confirm that the system is operating.

Wipers and washers


WARNINGS Replace the wiper blades as soon as they begin to leave bands of water and smears or when they do not completely remove water from the windscreen. If the blades are not replaced, the rain sensor will continue to detect water on the windscreen. This will result in the wipers continuing to operate although the majority of the windscreen is dry. In icy conditions, make sure that the windscreen has been fully defrosted before selecting autowipers. Switch off the autowipers before entering a car wash. Note: The autowipers feature is intended for use during wet weather conditions only. It should not be selected in dry weather conditions as the system is very sensitive to objects such as dirt, mist or flies hitting the windscreen near the rain sensor. This may cause the wipers to wipe even though the screen is mostly dry. Note: The autowipers function should not be selected when it is snowing or foggy, or when the roads have been salted. In these weather conditions, select position A, C or D, if necessary. When the lever is moved to position B with the ignition switched on, the wipers will cycle once regardless of whether the front screen is wet or dry. Depending on the equipment fitted, when the ignition is switched on with the lever already in position B, the wipers will not cycle until water is detected on the windscreen. Alternatively, move the lever to another position and then back to B, or operate the washer. Thereafter, the rain sensor will continuously measure the amount of water on the windscreen and adjust the speed of the front wipers automatically (single wipe, intermittent, normal or high speed wipe).

Climate control
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of the windscreen free from obstruction (snow, leaves etc.) to allow the climate control system to function effectively. Air is directed through the evaporator where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted from the air to help keep the windows free of mist. The resulting condensation is directed to the outside of the vehicle and it is therefore normal if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle.

Recirculated air
CAUTION Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to mist up. If the windows mist up, follow the settings for defrosting and demisting the windscreen. The air currently in the passenger compartment will be recirculated. Outside air will not enter the vehicle.

General information on controlling the interior climate


Fully close all the windows. Warming the interior Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or humid weather conditions, direct some of the air towards the windscreen and the door windows. Cooling the interior Direct the air towards your face.

Heating
Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant.

Pressing the AUTO button once switches on the auto mode. The system in your vehicle is dual-zone automatic climate control. When the system is in mono mode, all the temperature zones are linked to the driver's zone. When you switch mono mode off, the dual-zone system allows you to set different temperatures for the driver's and front passenger's side. Note: Avoid adjusting the settings when the vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The automatic climate control adjusts to the current circumstances automatically. For the system to function properly, the side and centre vents should be fully open.

Note: The sunload sensor is located on top of the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor with any objects. Note: At low outside temperatures, when the system is in auto mode, the air stream will be directed to the windscreen and the side windows as long as the engine is cold. Note: A description of the Ford DVD-Navigation System in combination with the automatic climate control is provided in the separate manual.

AUXILIARY HEATER
Programmable auxiliary heater
WARNINGS The programmable auxiliary heater must not be operated in enclosed spaces, at filling stations or near sources of combustible vapours or dust.

114

Climate control
WARNINGS The programmable auxiliary heater should be switched on for approximately 10 minutes at least once a month all year round. This prevents the water pump and heater motor from seizing. To avoid corrosion, the coolant in your vehicle should contain at least 10 % antifreeze all year round. Note: The programmable auxiliary heater will only operate if there is at least 7.5 litres of fuel in the fuel tank. Note: The heating depends on the outside air temperature. Note: It is possible that when the programmable auxiliary heater is activated, exhaust fumes may come from under the sides of the vehicle. This is normal. Note: On vehicles with manual climate control the heating of the vehicle interior is dependent on the temperature, air distribution and blower control settings. The programmable auxiliary heater operates independently of the vehicle heater by heating the engines coolant circuit. It is fed from the vehicle fuel tank. Used properly, the programmable auxiliary heater provides the following benefits: It preheats the interior of the vehicle. It keeps the windows clear of ice in the event of frost and prevents condensation. It avoids cold starts and allows the engine to reach operating temperature sooner. The programmable auxiliary heater may also be used while the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle heater and warm up the interior more quickly. To prevent the battery from discharging: Once the programmable auxiliary heater has performed one heating cycle, the next programmed heater time will only be carried out if the vehicles engine has been started in between. After a heating cycle, the vehicle should be driven for at least the period of the heating cycle. Programming the auxiliary heater The auxiliary heater is programmed using the information display. See Information displays (page 96).

Fuel and refuelling


SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle stops the second time. Additional fuel will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank which could lead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillage could be hazardous to other road users. Do not use any kind of flames or heat near the fuel system. The fuel system is under pressure. There is a risk of injury if the fuel system is leaking.

FUEL QUALITY FLEXIBLE FUEL


WARNINGS Do not modify the fuel system configuration or the components in the system. Do not replace the fuel system or the components with parts not specially designed to be used with bio ethanol. CAUTIONS Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with additives containing other metallic compounds (e.g. manganese-based). They could damage the emission system. Do not use methanol instead of bio ethanol E 85 Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel without additives or other engine treatments. Note: When using bio ethanol E 85, you may experience a higher fuel consumption. Note: The correct fuel type for your vehicle is shown on a decal on the inside of the fuel filler flap. Note: Your vehicle will operate well on commercial quality 95 octane unleaded petrol, but only high quality bio ethanol E 85 offers the same protection and performance.

FUEL QUALITY - PETROL


Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel without additives or other engine treatments. CAUTION Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with additives containing other metallic compounds (e.g. manganese-based). They could damage the emission system. Use minimum 95 octane unleaded petrol that meets the specification defined by EN 228, or equivalent.

149

Fuel and refuelling


Use minimum 95 octane unleaded petrol that meets the specification defined by EN 228, or equivalent. You can also use a mixture of unleaded petrol and bio ethanol E 85.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Driving with a catalytic converter
CAUTIONS Avoid running out of fuel. Do not crank the engine for long periods. Do not run the engine when a spark plug lead is disconnected. Do not push-start or tow-start your vehicle. Use booster cables. See Using booster cables (page 209). Do not switch the ignition off when driving.

Long-term storage
Due to small amounts of corrosive impurities that may be found in the bio ethanol E 85, it is recommended that you fill the tank with only 95 octane unleaded petrol prior to long-term storage of your vehicle.

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL


Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel without additives or other engine treatments. WARNING Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or other liquids. This could cause a chemical reaction. CAUTION Do not add kerosene, paraffin or petrol to diesel. This could cause damage to the fuel system. Note: We do not recommend the prolonged use of additives intended to prevent fuel waxing. Use diesel that meets the specification defined by EN 590, or equivalent. You can use diesel that contains up to 5% RME (bio diesel).

Parking
WARNING Do not park your vehicle over dry leaves or dry grass. The exhaust will continue to radiate a considerable amount of heat after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.

CAUTION Do not attempt to start the engine if you have filled the fuel tank with the incorrect fuel. This could damage the engine. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician immediately.
E78089

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures are derived from laboratory tests according to EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC and subsequent amendments and are carried out by all vehicle manufacturers. They are intended as a comparison between makes and models of vehicles. They are not intended to represent the real world fuel consumption you may get from your vehicle. Real world fuel consumption is governed by many factors including; driving style, high speed driving, stop/start driving, air conditioning usage, the accessories fitted and towing etc. Your Ford dealer can give you advice on improving your fuel consumption.

Note: Central locking also locks and unlocks the fuel filler flap. See Locks (page 40). Open the flap fully until it engages. Turn the fuel filler cap anti-clockwise. When the filler cap is removed, a hissing noise may be heard. This is normal and should be disregarded. To close, turn the cap clockwise until it clicks.

Brakes
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Dual circuit braking system
Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when driving from a car wash to remove the film of water.

ABS
WARNING The ABS does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
E71353

WARNING If a brake circuit fails, you will notice a softer feel to the brake pedal. Press the brake pedal firmly and allow for increased stopping distances. Stop and have this checked immediately. Do not continue your journey. Your vehicle is fitted with a diagonally split, dual circuit brake system. If a brake circuit fails, the other remains operational.

The ABS helps you to maintain full steering and directional stability when you brake heavily in an emergency, by preventing the road wheels from locking. The ABS monitors the speed of each road wheel and varies the pressure to each brake. The ABS optimizes the tyre-to-road adhesion when you brake heavily.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS

Disc brakes

E71355

E71354

When the ABS is operating, the brake pedal will pulse. This is normal. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.

158

Brakes
The ABS will not eliminate the dangers inherent when: 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. 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.

159

Stability control
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
WARNING ESP does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. The system also provides an enhanced traction control function by reducing engine torque if the wheels spin when you accelerate. This improves your ability to pull away on slippery roads or loose surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting wheel spin in hairpin bends. Stability control (ESP) warning lamp The ESP warning lamp will flash when the system is operating. See Warning lamps and indicators (page 90).

Emergency brake assist


WARNING

B B A A
E72903

Emergency brake assist does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. Emergency brake assist will detect when you brake heavily by measuring the rate at which you press the brake pedal. It will provide maximum braking efficiency as long as you press the pedal. Emergency brake assist can reduce stopping distances in critical situations.

A B

Parking aid
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING The parking aid does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. CAUTIONS The sensors may not detect objects in heavy rain or other conditions that cause disruptive reflections. The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves. The sensors may not detect objects that are close to the vehicle (approximately 30 centimetres [11 inches] to the rear and above or below the sensors). If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the sensors briefly from a distance not less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). Note: The parking aid may emit false tones if it detects a signal using the same frequency as the sensors or if the vehicle is fully laden. Note: The outer sensors may detect the side walls of a garage. If the distance between the outer sensor and the side wall remains constant for three seconds, the tone will switch off. As you continue, the inner sensors will detect rearward objects.

USING THE PARKING AID


Note: Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.

Switching the parking aid on and off


Note: The parking aid switches off automatically when you start the engine or when you exceed 16 km/h (10 mph). Note: Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow module not approved by us may not correctly detect obstacles. Note: On vehicles fitted with a tow ball arm, the rear sensors are deactivated automatically when any trailer lamps (or lighting boards) are connected to the 13-pin socket via a trailer tow module we have approved. On vehicles fitted with a trailer tow module not approved by us, you have to switch the parking aid off using the switch. Note: The front and rear sensors are always activated or deactivated together. Note: On vehicles fitted with automatic transmission, the parking aid will not operate in position P. The parking aid is per default off. To switch the parking aid on, press the switch in the instrument panel or select reverse gear. The light in the switch illuminates when the parking aid is activated. To turn it off, press the switch again.

162

Parking aid
Manoeuvring with the parking aid
You will hear an intermittent tone at a distance of up to 180 centimetres (71 inches) between the obstacle and rear bumper, 80 centimetres (31 inches) between the obstacle and front bumper and 60 centimetres (24 inches) to the side. Decreasing the distance accelerates the intermittent tone. A continuous tone will start at a distance of less than 30 centimetres (11 inches). You will hear an alternating tone from the front and rear if obstacles are closer than 30 centimetres (11 inches) to the front and rear bumpers.

E72902

CAUTIONS The parking aid does not detect obstacles moving away from the vehicle. They will only be detected shortly after they start to move towards the vehicle again. Take particular care when reversing with a tow ball arm or rear fitted accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as the rear parking aid will only indicate the distance from the bumper to the obstacle. Note: If a high pitch warning tone sounds for three seconds and the light in the switch is flashing, it indicates a malfunction. The system will be disabled. Have the system checked by properly trained technicians.

Wheels and tyres


All vehicles

General information
WARNINGS Depending on the type and extent of tyre damage, some tyres can only be partially sealed or not sealed at all. Loss of tyre pressure can affect vehicle handling, leading to loss of vehicle control. Do not use the tyre repair kit if the tyre has already been damaged as a result of being driven under inflated.

E72573

1. Fully tighten the wheel nuts in the pattern shown. 2. Press the hub cap firmly with the ball of the hand. 3. Stow the locking nut and the wheel brace safely. 4. Stow the jack and defective wheel in reverse order and secure them. Note: Have the tightening torque of the wheel nuts and the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.

Do not try to seal damage other than that located within the visible tread of the tyre. Do not try to seal damage to the tyres sidewall. The tyre repair kit seals most tyre punctures [with a diameter of up to six millimetres (1/4 inch)] to temporarily restore mobility. Observe the following rules when using the kit: Drive with caution and avoid making sudden steering or driving manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded or you are towing a trailer. The kit will provide you with an emergency temporary repair, enabling you to continue your journey to the next vehicle or tyre dealer, or to drive a maximum distance of 200 kilometres (125 miles). Do not exceed a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).

TYRE REPAIR KIT


Your vehicle may not have a spare tyre. In this case it will have an emergency tyre repair kit that can be used to repair one flat tyre. The tyre repair kit is located in the spare wheel well.

217

Wheels and tyres


Keep the kit out of the reach of children. Only use the kit when the ambient temperature is between 30C (-22F) and +70C (+158F). Leave the engine running while the kit is in use, but not if the vehicle is in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area (for example, inside a building). In these circumstances, switch the compressor on with the engine turned off. Replace the sealant bottle with a new one before the expiry date (see top of bottle) is reached. Inform all other users of the vehicle that the tyre has been temporarily sealed with the tyre repair kit and make them aware of the special driving conditions to be observed.

Using the tyre repair kit


WARNINGS Compressed air can act as an explosive or propellant. Never leave the tyre repair kit unattended while in use. CAUTION Do not keep the compressor operating for more than 10 minutes. Note: Use the tyre repair kit only for the vehicle with which it was supplied. Park your vehicle at the roadside so that you do not obstruct the flow of traffic and so that you are able to use the kit without being in danger. Apply the parking brake, even if you have parked on a level road, to make sure that the vehicle will not move. Do not attempt to remove foreign objects like nails or screws penetrating the tyre.

Inflating the tyre


WARNINGS Check the sidewall of the tyre prior to inflation. If there are any cracks, bumps or similar damage, do not attempt to inflate the tyre. Do not stand directly beside the tyre while the compressor is pumping. Watch the sidewall of the tyre. If any cracks, bumps or similar damage appear, turn off the compressor and let the air out by means of the pressure relief valve B. Do not continue driving with this tyre.

Empty sealant bottles can be disposed of together with normal household waste. Return remains of sealant to your dealer or dispose of it in compliance with local waste disposal regulations. Check the tyre pressures (including the spare) when cold, every two weeks.

USING WINTER TYRES


CAUTION Make sure that you use the correct wheel nuts for the type of wheel the winter tyres are fitted to. If winter tyres are used, make sure that the tyre pressures are correct. See Technical specifications (page 224).

TYRE CARE

E70415

To make sure the front and rear tyres of your vehicle wear evenly and last longer, we recommend that you swap the tyres from front to rear and vice versa at regular intervals of between 5 000 and 10 000 km (3 000 and 6 000 miles). CAUTION Do not scrub the sidewalls of the tyres when you are parking. If you have to mount a kerb, do so slowly and approach it with the wheels at right-angles to the kerb. Examine the tyres regularly for cuts, foreign objects and uneven wear of the tread. Uneven wear could mean that the wheel alignment is outside specification.

USING SNOW CHAINS


WARNINGS Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph). Do not use snow chains on snow-free roads. Do not fit snow chains to 205/50 R 17 or 225/40 R 18 tyres. CAUTION If your vehicle is fitted with wheel trims, remove them before fitting snow chains. Note: The ABS will continue to operate normally. Only use small link snow chains. Only use snow chains on the front wheels.

Voice control
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Voice recognition enables operation of the audio system without the need to divert your attention from the road ahead in order to change settings, or receive feedback from the system. Whenever you issue one of the defined commands with the system active, the voice recognition system converts your command into a control signal for the audio system. Your inputs take the form of dialogues or commands. You are guided through these dialogues by announcements or questions. Please familiarise yourself with the functions of the audio system before using voice recognition. Note: If the Bluetooth and voice control is used for an extended period of time when the vehicle is stationary, make sure that the engine is running to avoid draining the battery. Note: The voice control system is language specific. If you require the system to operate in another language please consult your dealer.

System response
As you work through a voice session the system will prompt you with a beep tone each time the system is ready to proceed. Do not try to give any commands until the beep tone has been heard. The voice control system will repeat each spoken command back to you. If you are not sure how to continue say "HELP" for assistance or "CANCEL" if you do not wish to continue. The "HELP" function provides only a subset of the available voice commands. Detailed explanations of all possible voice commands can be found on the following pages.

Voice commands
All voice commands should be given using a natural speaking voice, as if speaking to a passenger or on the phone. Your voice level should be dependant on the surrounding noise level inside or outside the vehicle but do not shout.

Supported commands
The voice control system allows you to control the following vehicle functions: phone radio CD Player climate control navigation system.

Name tag
The name tag functionality can support the phone, audio and navigation features by using the "STORE NAME" function.
