Explanations
The following section explains some phra-
ses and terms used in the Owner’s Manual
to help you to understand them better.
Dir
ections
Directions and positions such as le, right,
front and rear are normally relative to the
vehicle’s direction of travel, unless other-
wise indicated.
Dimensions and speeds
Values given in miles instead of kilometres
or mph instead km/h refer to the country-
specific instrument clusters or Infotain-
ment systems.
Illustrations
Illustrations help with orientation and
should be regarded as a general guide. The
illustrations may dier from your vehicle.
This Owner’s Manual was written for le-
hand drive vehicles. In right-hand drive vehi-
cles, the controls may sometimes be ar-
ranged dierently to those displayed in il-
lustrations or described in the text.
Form of address
For better legibility, the male form of ad-
dress is used. However, this refers to all
genders equally. The shortened linguistic
form is used for editorial reasons and does
not represent a value judgement.
Terms and their meanings:
Qualified workshops
are repairers tha
t employ trained or
qualified sta who specialise in per-
forming service work on passenger
cars. A qualified workshop can be ei-
ther an authorised dealer or an inde-
pendent workshop.
Authorised dealers are
workshops that have a contractual
relationship with Ford Motor Compa-
ny. The contractual relationship en-
sures that further information is avail-
able and that there is an additional
direct communications channel to
the manufacturer.
In some sit-
uations you will have to take your ve-
hicle to a qualified workshop to have
it checked.
If it is not possi-
ble to continue driving the vehicle,
you must have an expert check per-
formed on the vehicle on the spot.
A decision must then be taken as to
whether the vehicle can continue to
be driven aer the check or if it has to
be towed. This depends on the indi-
vidual situation.
