If warning light

only
lights up on the instrument
panel, (with a message on the
multifunctional reconfigurable
display, where provided),
immediately stop the car and
contact the nearest Ford
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic
fluid from the braking system will
compromise functionality of the
braking system, either of the
conventional type or with ABS.
WARNING
ESP SYSTEM (Electronic
Stability Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car stability in the event
of tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road
surfaces change.
Besides the ESP, the car is provided
with ASR (traction control with
interventions on brakes and engines),
HILL HOLDER (device for start on
gradient without using the brakes), MSR
(control of engine braking torque when
shifting gear down) and HBA (automatic
increase of braking pressure in case of
emergency braking).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the
warning light
I
on the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that the car
is in critical stability and grip conditions.
EBD failure
This is indicated by the turning on of
warning lights
>
and
x
on the
instrument panel together with the
dedicated message on the
multifunctional display (where
provided), (see section “Warning lights
and messages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may
suddenly lock and the vehicle may
swerve. Drive carefully to the nearest
Ford Dealership to have the system
checked.
