WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
If the warning light v
flashes, immediately
contact the nearest Ford Dealership
to change the engine oil and turn
off the warning light on
the instrument panel. Failure
to comply with this condition
could invalidate the warranty.
WARNING
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE
(amber)
Turning the ignition key to MAR-ON
the warning light turns on, but it should
go off after a few seconds.
If the warning light stays on, you will not
have the steering assistance and the
effort on the steering wheel will be
increased; steering is still however
possible. Contact a Ford Dealership.
On some versions the display shows the
dedicated message.
INCOMPLETE DOOR
LOCKING (red)
The warning light turns
on when one or more doors
or the tailgate are not perfectly closed.
On some versions the display shows
the dedicated message.
A buzzer will sound (for versions with
multifunction display only) when doors
are open and the car is running.
EOBD/INJECTION
SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
Under normal conditions, when
the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON,
the warning light comes on, but should
go off as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or
comes on whilst driving, it means that
the injection system is not working
properly; in particular, if the warning
light comes on constantly, this indicates
a malfunction in the supply/ignition
system that could cause excessive
exhaust emissions, a possible loss
of performance, poor driveability
and high fuel consumption.
A specific message is displayed
on certain versions.
Under these conditions, you may
continue travelling at a moderate
speed without demanding excessive
effort from the engine. Prolonged use
of the car with the warning light on
may cause damage. Contact a Ford
Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light switches off if the
failure disappears, but it is still stored
by the system.
Petrol engines only
If the warning light is flashing,
this indicates that the catalytic
converter may be damaged.
