SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

Warning symbols in this guide

How can you reduce the risk of personal injury and prevent possible damage to others, your vehicle and its equipment? In this guide, answers to such questions are contained in comments highlighted by the warning triangle symbol. These comments should be read and observed.

Warning symbols on your vehicle

When you see this symbol, it is imperative that you consult the relevant section of this guide before touching or attempting adjustment of any kind.

Protecting the environment We must all play our part in protecting the environment. Correct vehicle usage and the authorized disposal of waste cleaning and lubrication materials are significant steps towards this aim. Information in this respect is highlighted in this guide with the tree symbol. If possible, you should avoid full use of the brakes for the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles).

Special instructions For your safety, your vehicle is fitted with sophisticated electronic controls.

By operating other electronic equipment (e.g.

mobile telephone without exterior aerial) electromagnetic fields can occur which can cause malfunctions of the vehicle electronics. Therefore you should observe the instructions of the equipment manufacturers.

Please read the section Air bag in the Seating and

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Check engine Your vehicle is equipped with a computer that monitors the engine's emission control system. This system is commonly known as the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD II). This OBD II system protects the environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards. The OBD II system also assists the service technician your vehicle.

in properly servicing

10

The Check engine indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON/RUN position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine's emission control systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern being noted. The vehicle will usually be driveable and will not require towing.

What you should do if the check engine light illuminates Light turns on solid:

This means that the OBD II system has detected a malfunction.

Temporary malfunctions may cause your Check engine light to illuminate. Examples are: 1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run poorly). 2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel. 3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely tightened.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank with good quality fuel and/or properly installing and securely tightening the gas cap. After three drive cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the Check engine light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving). No additional vehicle service is required.

Instrument Cluster

11

Instrument Cluster

If the Check engine light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.

Light is blinking:

Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Check fuel cap Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position to ensure your bulb is working. When the light turns on, check the fuel filler cap. Continuing to operate the vehicle with the check fuel cap light on, can activate the Service Engine soon/Check Engine warning light.It may take a long period of time for the system to detect an improperly installed fuel filler cap. When the fuel filler cap is properly reĆinstalled, the light(s) will turn off after a period of normal driving. For more information, refer to Fuel filler cap in Fuel information in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

12

Instrument Cluster

Brake system warning Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position and the engine is off. If brake warning lamp does not illuminate at this time, seek service immediately. Also illuminates when the parking brake is engaged. Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level or ABS (if equipped) failure and the brake system should be serviced immediately.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (if equipped) Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position and the engine is off. If the light remains on, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, have the system serviced immediately. With the ABS light on, the antiĆlock brake system is disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated with parking brake released.

13

Instrument Cluster

Upshift (if equipped) Illuminates when it is best to shift to the next highest manual transaxle gear for the maximum fuel economy.

O/D off (if equipped) Illuminates when the transaxle control switch has been pushed. When the light is on, the transaxle does not switch into overdrive.

Safety belt Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position to remind you to fasten your safety belts. For more information, refer to the Seating and Safety Restraints chapter.

Air bag readiness Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned on. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced immediately.

14

Instrument Cluster

Charging system Illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position and the engine is off. The light also illuminates when the battery is not charging properly, requiring electrical system service.

Engine oil pressure Illuminates when the oil pressure falls below the normal range. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and switch off the engine immediately. Check the oil level and add oil if needed. Refer to Engine oil in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

Multi-function: Automatic transaxle/cooling system (On Zetec or automatic transaxle vehicles only) Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position and the engine is off. If the light illuminates while driving, have your vehicle serviced.

15

Instrument Cluster

AdvanceTracT Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned on, to confirm that the system is operational.

While driving, the light flashes when the feature is active. The control switch will toggle the feature on or off, but the feature will default to on after each cycle of the ignition key. The light illuminates continuously when the feature is switched off.

After turning the ignition on, if the light does not illuminate or illuminates continuously (assuming the light has not come as a result of pressing the AdvanceTracT switch, which disables the system) while driving, it indicates a malfunction. During a malfunction the system will be switched off. Have the system serviced.

For further details, refer to the AdvanceTracT stability enhancement system in the Driver Controls chapter.

Low fuel level warning light When the warning light illuminates, refuel as soon as possible.

16

Speed control (if equipped) Illuminates when the speed control system is switched on. Refer to Speed control in the Driver Controls chapter.

Turn signal Illuminates when the left or right turn signal or the hazard lights are turned on. If one or both of the indicators stay on continuously or flash faster, check for a burnedĆout turn signal bulb. Refer to Replacing exterior bulbs or Replacing front parking lamp turn signal bulbs in the Lights chapter.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES

Temperature gauge Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating temperature, the needle remains within the normal area. If it enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine immediately and let the engine cool. Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the

engine is running or hot.

Instrument Cluster

19

Instrument Cluster

This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge indication will not be accurate. If the gauge enters the red section and the multiĆfunction warning light illuminates, refer to How fail safe cooling works in coolant in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the

engine is running or hot.

Fuel gauge Displays approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank (when the key is in the ON/RUN position). The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion. The ignition should be in the OFF position while the vehicle is being refueled. When the gauge first indicates empty, there is a small amount of reserve fuel in the tank. When refueling the vehicle from empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will be less than the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.

If the key is not in the OFF position when you refuel the vehicle, the fuel gauge will not indicate the new volume until the ignition is turned OFF and then to ON/RUN.

CD playback

The 6 disc CD player is designed to play

commercially pressed 12 cm audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain recordable and reĆrecordable compact discs may not function correctly when used in Ford CD players. Irregular shaped CDs, CDs with cleaning brushes, CDs with a scratch protection film attached and CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be identified with a permanent marker rather than adhesive labels. Please contact your dealer for further information.
