ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Ford. We

recommend that you take some time to

get to know your vehicle by reading this

manual. The more that you know about

it, the greater the safety and pleasure you

will get from driving it.

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in

loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that

you use extreme caution when using any

device that may take your focus off the

road. Your primary responsibility is the safe

operation of your vehicle. We recommend

against the use of any hand-held device

while driving and encourage the use of

voice-operated systems when possible.

Make sure you are aware of all applicable

local laws that may affect the use of

electronic devices while driving.

Note: This manual describes product

features and options available throughout

the range of available models, sometimes

even before they are generally available. It

may describe options not fitted to the

vehicle you have purchased.

Note: Some of the illustrations in this

manual may show features as used in

different models, so may appear different

to you on your vehicle.

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 your

vehicle.

This manual may qualify the location of a

component as left-hand side or right-hand

side. The side is determined when facing

forward in the seat.

DATA RECORDING

A large number of electronic components

of your vehicle contain data storage

modules temporarily or permanently

storing technical data about the condition

of the vehicle, events and errors.

In general, this technical information

documents the condition of parts,

modules, systems or the environment:

• Operating conditions of system

components (e.g. filling levels).

• Status messages of the vehicle and its

individual components (e.g. number of

wheel revolutions/rotational speed,

deceleration, lateral acceleration).

• Malfunction and defects in important

system components (e.g. lighting and

brake system).

• Vehicle reactions in particular driving

situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag,

activation of the stability regulation

system).

• Environmental conditions (e.g.

temperature).

These data are exclusively technical and

help identification and correction of errors

as well as optimisation of vehicle

functions. Motion profiles indicating

travelled routes cannot be created with

these data.

If services are used (e.g. repair works,

service processes, warranty cases, quality

assurance), employees of the service

network (including manufacturers) are

able to read out this technical information

from the event and error data storage

modules using special diagnostic devices.

If required, you will receive further

information. After an error has been

corrected, these data are deleted from the

error storage module or they are constantly

overwritten.

When using the vehicle, situations may

occur in which these technical data related

to other information (accident report,

damages on the vehicle, witness

statements etc.) may be associated with

a specific person - possibly, with the

assistance of an expert.

Introduction

Additional functions contractually agreed

upon with the client (e.g. vehicle location

in emergency cases) allow the

transmission of particular vehicle data

from the vehicle.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

RECOMMENDATION

Your vehicle has been built to the highest

standards using quality parts. We

recommend that you demand the use of

genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts

whenever your vehicle requires scheduled

maintenance or repair. You can clearly

identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts

by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or

Motorcraft branding on the parts or their

packaging.

Scheduled Maintenance and

Mechanical Repairs

One of the best ways for you to make sure

that your vehicle provides years of service

is to have it maintained in line with our

recommendations using parts that

conform to the specifications detailed in

this Owner’s Manual. Genuine Ford and

Motorcraft parts meet or exceed these

specifications.

Collision Repairs

We hope that you never experience a

collision, but accidents do happen. Genuine

Ford replacement collision parts meet our

stringent requirements for fit, finish,

structural integrity, corrosion protection

and dent resistance. During vehicle

development we validate these parts

deliver the intended level of protection as

a whole system. A great way to know for

sure you are getting this level of protection

is to use genuine Ford replacement

collision parts.

Warranty on Replacement Parts

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement

parts are the only replacement parts that

benefit from a Ford Warranty. Damage

caused to your vehicle as a result of the

failure of non-Ford parts may not be

covered by the Ford Warranty. For

additional information, refer to the terms

and conditions of the Ford Warranty.

SPECIAL NOTICES

If converting or modifying your vehicle from

production specification, refer to the Body

and Equipment Mounting Manual at

www.etis.ford.com/fordservice.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS

EQUIPMENT

Using mobile communications equipment

is becoming increasingly important in the

conduct of business and personal affairs.

However, you must not compromise your

own or others’ safety when using such

equipment. Mobile communications can

enhance personal safety and security when

appropriately used, particularly in

emergency situations. Safety must be

paramount when using mobile

communications equipment to avoid

negating these benefits. Mobile

communication equipment includes, but

is not limited to, cellular phones, pagers,

portable email devices, text messaging

devices and portable two-way radios.
