STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒
ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒
put the gear lever into neutral;
❒
press the clutch pedal all the way
down without touching the
accelerator;
❒
turn the ignition key to AVV and let
it go the moment the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first
attempt, return the ignition key to
STOP before repeating starting.
If with the ignition key on MAR the
warning light
Y

with warning light
U
, turn the key to
STOP and then back to MAR; if the
warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the vehicle.
Contact a Ford Dealership if you still
cannot start the engine.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The car is provided with an electronic
engine lock device: refer to “The Ford
CODE system” paragraph in “Your car”
if you cannot start the engine.
The engine may be noisier during the
first seconds of operation, particularly
after a long period of inactivity. This
does not impair functionality and
reliability and is typical of hydraulic
tappets: the distribution system selected
for the petrol engines of your car in
order to limit the maintenance
required.

SAFETY
STARTING AND
DRIVING
In the first period of use, we
recommend to avoid
excessive stress for the car
(for instance excessive
accelerations, extended travel at
maximum speed, sudden braking
etc.).
With engine off, do not
leave the key in the ignition
switch on MAR to prevent
draining the battery.
It is dangerous to have the
engine running indoors.
The engine depletes oxygen and
discharges carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
Remember that the
servobrake and electric
power steering are not operational
until the engine is started.
Therefore, more effort than usual is
required on the brake pedal and
steering wheel.
