Attaching child safety seats
with top tethers
ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS
E75531
Your vehicle has been equipped with

ISOFIX attachments. Your Ford
Dealer will be pleased to make them
accessible.
The ISOFIX system consists of two
rigid latching arms on the child seat,
which attach to anchor points at the
base of the vehicle seat back. When
made available by your Ford Dealer,
the two lower anchor points may be
found in the rear seating rows and
are labelled with a circular pictogram
and the word ISOFIX.
E78299
WARNINGS
Attach the tether strap only to
the appropriate tether anchor
as shown. The tether strap may not
work properly if attached somewhere
other than the correct tether anchor.
The funnel guides enable the latching

arms of an ISOFIX child seat to be
easily and securely attached.
Ford does not recommend the

use of an ISOFIX system without
the use of an anti-rotation device,
such as a top tether anchor or
support leg, correctly installed.
ISOFIX child seats not approved by

Ford have not been validated by
Ford, and neither the safety nor the
suitability of such seats can be
certified, whether installed using the
ISOFIX system or the normal seat
belts.
There is a risk of death or

serious injury when the
manufacturers instructions are not
followed properly or when the child
restraint is modified in any way.
24
Child safety
A third anchor point has been
provided for child seats that are
equipped with a top tether, available
for use in the forward facing
configuration.
The top tether anchors in your vehicle
are located on the floor of the
The tether strap should be routed
beneath the raised rear head
restraint, to the anchor point on the
floor of the luggage compartment.
The anchor point is identified by a
pictogram.
After installing the child safety seat,
tighten the tether strap according to
the manufacturers instructions.

Airbags
E78293
WARNING
Do not modify the front of the

vehicle in any way as this can
adversely affect airbag deployment.
Note: A loud bang will be heard

when an airbag deploys and it is
normal to see a cloud of harmless
powdery residue.

panel.
an airbag deactivation switch
an airbag deactivation indicator in
the instrument panel

The airbag system comprises the

following:
single-stage inflatable nylon bags

(airbags) with gas generators
side airbags
curtain airbags
seat belt pretensioners
a seat belt reminder
crash sensors.
E72330
27
Occupant protection
WARNINGS
Repairs to either of the front
seat covers, the sensors
attached to the seats as well as to
the roof lining should only be carried
out by properly trained technicians.
Injuries may result if the side airbags
are triggered inadvertently.
WARNING
Always wear the seat belt and
keep sufficient distance
between the driver and the steering
wheel. Only when the seat belt is
used properly, can it hold the body
in a position which allows the airbag
to achieve its optimum effect. There
is a risk of injury when the airbag
deploys.
Do not block, obstruct or cover

the airbag because it may
prevent proper deployment. Do not
poke any sharp objects into the areas
where airbags are fitted. This could
damage the airbags.
The seat and back must be set

correctly for the airbags to be
optimally effective. See Sitting in
the correct position (page 120).
Do not use any accessory seat

covers that are not specifically
designed for seats with side airbags.
These seat covers must be fitted by
properly trained technicians.
This is the ideal seating position for

the driver and front passenger and
helps reduce the risk of injury from
sitting too close to an inflating airbag.
E66553
E72325
28
Occupant protection
The front airbags activate during
significant collisions which are
either frontal or up to 30
degrees from the left or the right.
The airbags inflate within a few
thousandths of a second. They will
deflate on contact with the front
occupants thus cushioning forward
body movement.
WARNINGS
Repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column and airbag
system should be carried out by
properly trained technicians.
Always keep the areas in front
of the airbags free. Never affix
anything to or over these areas.
These areas should only be wiped
with a damp cloth, never with a wet
cloth.
Side air bags
E72326
During minor collisions as well as

overturns and rear or side collisions,
the front airbag system will not be
activated.
E72328
A label on the seatback indicates that

side airbags are fitted. The side
airbags are fitted on the side of the
seatbacks of the front seats. In case
of a severe lateral collision, the airbag
on the side affected by the collision
will be inflated.
The airbag will inflate between the
door panel and occupant. Once the
occupants body contacts the airbag,
the propellant escapes, thereby
cushioning the impact.
E78294
29
Occupant protection
The side airbags are not activated
upon minor lateral collisions nor upon
front or rear impacts.
WARNINGS
The seat belts should fit tightly
around the body.
Curtain air bags
Seat belt pretensioner
E72329
E72333
Moulded badges in the A- and

B-piller trims indicate that curtain air
bags are fitted. The curtain airbags
are fitted over the front and rear side
windows inside the roof lining. In case
of a severe lateral collision, the air bag
on the side affected by the collision
will be inflated.
WARNING
The belt pretensioners must not
be removed. If the
pretensioners are deployed during
an accident, they must be replaced.
Have the pretensioners serviced and
disposed of by specially trained
personnel only.
The curtain air bags are not activated

upon minor lateral collisions nor upon
front or rear impacts.
The restraint system, with belt

pretensioners in the front seats, helps
to reduce the risk of serious injury in
a major frontal impact. During a
serious crash the seat belts are
pretensioned to help reduce slack in
the belt. The safety belt pretensioner
is a device which removes excess
webbing from the safety belt system.
When the safety belt pretensioner
deploys, webbing from the lap and
shoulder belt is tightened.
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Use seat belts at all times.
Never use a seat belt for more
than one person.
Avoid wearing thick clothing.
30
Occupant protection
The belt pretensioner is not triggered
in any side, rear or minor frontal
collisions.
FASTENING THE SEAT

BELTS
E78079
When in use, the rear seat belts

should be placed in the belt guides
on the outboard seatbacks.
E74124
WARNING
Insert the tongue into the buckle
until a distinct click is heard,
otherwise the seat belt will not be
locked correctly.
Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock
if pulled sharply or if the vehicle is on
a slope.
E74127
To release the belt, press the red

button on the buckle and let the belt
rewind completely and smoothly.
WARNING
In order to ensure that the
centre belt works properly, the
rear seatback must be correctly
engaged.
Make sure that each seat belt uses
the correct buckle.
31
Occupant protection
E74125
E74126
The retractor for the rear centre seat

belt is located in the roof. To fasten
the seat belt, pull it out steadily and
engage the smaller, black tongue in
the smaller black buckle to the right

Engine immobiliser
PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
DISARMING THE ENGINE

IMMOBILISER
The engine immobiliser is a theft

protection system that prevents
someone from starting the engine
with an incorrectly coded key.
The engine immobiliser is disarmed

automatically when you switch the
ignition on with a correctly coded key.
The indicator in the instrument cluster
will come on for approximately three
seconds and then go out. If the
indicator stays on for one minute or
flashes for approximately one minute
and then repeatedly at irregular
intervals, your key has not been
recognised. Remove the key and try
again.
CODED KEYS
Note: Do not shield your keys with
metal objects. This may prevent the
receiver from recognising your key
as a valid one.
Note: Have all of your remaining
keys erased and recoded if you lose
a key. Ask your dealer for further
information. Have replacement keys
recoded together with your existing
keys.
If you attempt to start the engine with

an incorrectly coded key, you will
need to wait for approximately 20
seconds before attempting to start
the engine again with a correctly
coded key.
If you lose a key, you can obtain a

replacement from your Ford Dealer.
If possible, provide them with the key
number from the tag provided with
the original keys. You can also obtain
additional keys from your Ford
Dealer.
If you are unable to start the engine

with a correctly coded key, this
indicates a malfunction. Have the
immobiliser checked immediately.

detected on the windscreen.
Alternatively, move the lever to
another position and then back to B,
or operate the washer.
WARNINGS
Replace the wiper blades as
soon as they begin to leave
bands of water and smears or when
they do not completely remove water
from the windscreen. If the blades
are not replaced, the rain sensor will
continue to detect water on the
windscreen. This will result in the
wipers continuing to operate
although the majority of the
windscreen is dry.
Thereafter, the rain sensor will

continuously measure the amount of
water on the windscreen and adjust
the speed of the front wipers
automatically (single wipe,
intermittent, normal or high speed
wipe).
In icy conditions, make sure that

the windscreen has been fully
defrosted before selecting
autowipers.
Switch off the autowipers

before entering a car wash.
Note: The autowipers feature is
intended for use during wet weather
conditions only. It should not be
selected in dry weather conditions
as the system is very sensitive to
objects such as dirt, mist or flies
hitting the windscreen near the rain
sensor. This may cause the wipers
to wipe even though the screen is
mostly dry.

near sources of combustible vapours
or dust.
114
Climate control
Used properly, the programmable
auxiliary heater provides the following
benefits:
It preheats the interior of the
vehicle.
It keeps the windows clear of ice
in the event of frost and prevents
condensation.
It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating
temperature sooner.
WARNINGS
The programmable auxiliary
heater should be switched on
for approximately 10 minutes at least
once a month all year round. This
prevents the water pump and heater
motor from seizing.
To avoid corrosion, the coolant
in your vehicle should contain at
least 10 % antifreeze all year round.
Note: The programmable auxiliary
heater will only operate if there is at
least 7.5 litres of fuel in the fuel tank.
The programmable auxiliary heater

may also be used while the vehicle is
in motion to help the vehicle heater
and warm up the interior more
quickly.
Note: The heating depends on the

outside air temperature.
To prevent the battery from

discharging:
Once the programmable auxiliary
heater has performed one heating
cycle, the next programmed
heater time will only be carried out
if the vehicles engine has been
started in between.
After a heating cycle, the vehicle
should be driven for at least the
period of the heating cycle.
Note: It is possible that when the

programmable auxiliary heater is
activated, exhaust fumes may come
from under the sides of the vehicle.
This is normal.
Note: On vehicles with manual
climate control the heating of the
vehicle interior is dependent on the
temperature, air distribution and
blower control settings.
The programmable auxiliary heater
operates independently of the vehicle
heater by heating the engines
coolant circuit. It is fed from the
vehicle fuel tank.

pedal when driving from a car wash
to remove the film of water.
PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
Dual circuit braking system
ABS
WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with
due care and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full
steering and directional stability when
you brake heavily in an emergency,
by preventing the road wheels from
locking. The ABS monitors the speed
of each road wheel and varies the
pressure to each brake. The ABS
optimizes the tyre-to-road adhesion
when you brake heavily.
E71353
WARNING
If a brake circuit fails, you will
notice a softer feel to the brake
pedal. Press the brake pedal firmly
and allow for increased stopping
distances. Stop and have this
checked immediately. Do not
continue your journey.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH

ABS
Your vehicle is fitted with a diagonally

split, dual circuit brake system. If a
brake circuit fails, the other remains
operational.
Disc brakes
E71355
When the ABS is operating, the brake

pedal will pulse. This is normal.
Maintain pressure on the brake
pedal.
E71354
158
Brakes
The ABS will not eliminate the

dangers inherent when:
you drive too close to the vehicle
in front of you.
the vehicle is aquaplaning.
you take corners too fast.
the road surface is poor.
To release the parking brake, press

the brake pedal firmly, pull the lever
up slightly, depress the release
button and push the lever down.
PARKING BRAKE

and facing uphill, select first gear
and turn the steering wheel away
from the kerb.
If your vehicle is parked on a hill
and facing downhill, select reverse
gear and turn the steering wheel
towards the kerb.
Stability control
The system also provides an
enhanced traction control function
by reducing engine torque if the
wheels spin when you accelerate.
This improves your ability to pull away
on slippery roads or loose surfaces,
and improves comfort by limiting
wheel spin in hairpin bends.
PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
Electronic stability

WARNING
ESP does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
Stability control (ESP) warning

PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
USING THE PARKING AID

Note: Keep the sensors free from
dirt, ice and snow. Do not clean with
sharp objects.
WARNING
The parking aid does not relieve
you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention.
Switching the parking aid

on and off
Note: The parking aid switches off
automatically when you start the
engine or when you exceed 16 km/h
(10 mph).
CAUTIONS
The sensors may not detect
objects in heavy rain or other
conditions that cause disruptive
reflections.
Note: Vehicles fitted with a trailer

tow module not approved by us may
not correctly detect obstacles.

objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves.
Note: On vehicles fitted with a tow

ball arm, the rear sensors are
deactivated automatically when any
trailer lamps (or lighting boards) are
connected to the 13-pin socket via a
trailer tow module we have
approved. On vehicles fitted with a
trailer tow module not approved by
us, you have to switch the parking
aid off using the switch.

objects that are close to the
vehicle (approximately 30
centimetres [11 inches] to the rear
and above or below the sensors).
If you use a high pressure spray
to wash your vehicle, only spray
the sensors briefly from a distance
not less than 20 centimetres (8
inches).
Note: The front and rear sensors are

always activated or deactivated
together.
Note: The parking aid may emit false

tones if it detects a signal using the
same frequency as the sensors or if
the vehicle is fully laden.
Note: On vehicles fitted with

automatic transmission, the parking
aid will not operate in position P.
The parking aid is per default off. To
switch the parking aid on, press the
switch in the instrument panel or
select reverse gear.
Note: The outer sensors may detect

the side walls of a garage. If the
distance between the outer sensor
and the side wall remains constant
for three seconds, the tone will
switch off. As you continue, the inner
sensors will detect rearward objects.
The light in the switch illuminates

when the parking aid is activated.
To turn it off, press the switch again.
162
Parking aid
Manoeuvring with the

You will hear an intermittent tone at

a distance of up to 180 centimetres
(71 inches) between the obstacle and
rear bumper, 80 centimetres (31
inches) between the obstacle and
front bumper and 60 centimetres (24
inches) to the side. Decreasing the
distance accelerates the intermittent
tone. A continuous tone will start at
a distance of less than 30
centimetres (11 inches).
E72902
You will hear an alternating tone from

the front and rear if obstacles are
closer than 30 centimetres (11 inches)
to the front and rear bumpers.

shortly after they start to move
towards the vehicle again.
Take particular care when
reversing with a tow ball arm or
rear fitted accessories e.g. a bicycle
carrier, as the rear parking aid will only
indicate the distance from the
bumper to the obstacle.
Note: If a high pitch warning tone
sounds for three seconds and the
light in the switch is flashing, it
indicates a malfunction. The system
will be disabled. Have the system
checked by properly trained
technicians.

WARNINGS
Depending on the type and
extent of tyre damage, some
tyres can only be partially sealed or
not sealed at all. Loss of tyre
pressure can affect vehicle handling,
leading to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use the tyre repair kit if
the tyre has already been
damaged as a result of being driven
under inflated.
Do not try to seal damage other
than that located within the
visible tread of the tyre.
E72573

pattern shown.
2. Press the hub cap firmly with the
ball of the hand.
3. Stow the locking nut and the
wheel brace safely.
4. Stow the jack and defective wheel
in reverse order and secure them.
Do not try to seal damage to the

tyres sidewall.
The tyre repair kit seals most tyre
punctures [with a diameter of up to
six millimetres (1/4 inch)] to
temporarily restore mobility.
Observe the following rules when
using the kit:
Note: Have the tightening torque of

the wheel nuts and the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
TYRE REPAIR KIT

Your vehicle may not have a spare
tyre. In this case it will have an
emergency tyre repair kit that can be
used to repair one flat tyre.
The tyre repair kit is located in the

spare wheel well.
217
Drive with caution and avoid

making sudden steering or
driving manoeuvres,
especially if the vehicle is heavily
loaded or you are towing a trailer.
The kit will provide you with an
emergency temporary repair,
enabling you to continue your
journey to the next vehicle or tyre
dealer, or to drive a maximum
distance of 200 kilometres
(125 miles).
Do not exceed a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
Wheels and tyres
Keep the kit out of the reach of

children.
Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between 30C
(-22F) and +70C (+158F).
Using the tyre repair kit

WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.
Never leave the tyre repair kit

unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressor
operating for more than 10
minutes.
Inflating the tyre

WARNINGS
Check the sidewall of the tyre
prior to inflation. If there are any
cracks, bumps or similar damage, do
not attempt to inflate the tyre.
Note: Use the tyre repair kit only for

the vehicle with which it was supplied.
Leave the engine running while

the kit is in use, but not if the
vehicle is in an enclosed or poorly
ventilated area (for example,
inside a building). In these
circumstances, switch the
compressor on with the engine
turned off.
Replace the sealant bottle with a
new one before the expiry date
(see top of bottle) is reached.
Inform all other users of the
vehicle that the tyre has been
temporarily sealed with the tyre
repair kit and make them aware
of the special driving conditions to
be observed.
Park your vehicle at the roadside

so that you do not obstruct the
flow of traffic and so that you are
able to use the kit without being
in danger.
Apply the parking brake, even if
you have parked on a level road,
to make sure that the vehicle will
not move.
Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws
penetrating the tyre.
Do not stand directly beside the

tyre while the compressor is
pumping.
Watch the sidewall of the tyre.
If any cracks, bumps or similar
damage appear, turn off the
compressor and let the air out by
means of the pressure relief valve B.
Do not continue driving with this tyre.
The sealant contains natural
rubber latex. Avoid contact with
skin and clothing. If this happens,
rinse the affected areas immediately
with plenty of water and contact your
doctor.
218
Wheels and tyres

WARNINGS
If the tyre inflation pressure does
not reach 1.8 bar (26 psi) within
seven minutes, the tyre may have
suffered excessive damage, making
a temporary repair impossible. In this
case, do not continue driving with this
tyre.
CAUTION
Screwing the bottle onto the
bottle holder will pierce the seal
of the bottle. Do not unscrew the
bottle from the holder as the sealant
will escape.

Wheels and tyres

17. Immediately drive approximately
three kilometres (two miles) so
that the sealant can seal the
damaged area.
Note: When pumping in the sealant
through the tyre valve, the pressure
may rise up to 6 bar (87 psi) but will
drop again after about 30 seconds.
WARNING
If you experience heavy
vibrations, unsteady steering
behaviour or noises while driving,
reduce your speed and drive with
caution to a place where it is safe for
you to stop the vehicle. Recheck the
tyre and its pressure. If the tyre
pressure is less than 1.3 bar (19 psi)
or if there are any cracks, bumps or
similar damage visible, do not
continue driving with this tyre.
Checking the tyre pressure

1. Stop the vehicle after driving
approximately three kilometres
(two miles). Check, and where
necessary, adjust the pressure of
the damaged tyre.
2. Attach the kit and read the tyre
pressure from the pressure gauge
F.
3. If the pressure of the sealant-filled
tyre is 1.3 bar (19 psi) or more,
adjust it to the specified pressure.
See Technical specifications
(page 224).
5. Check the tyre pressure again

from the pressure gauge F. If the
tyre pressure is too high, deflate
the tyre to the specified pressure
using the pressure relief valve B.
6. Once you have inflated the tyre to
its correct tyre pressure, move
the compressor switch H to
position 0, remove the power
plug G from the socket, unscrew
the hose C, fasten the valve cap
and replace the protective cap A.
7. Leave the sealant bottle K in the
bottle holder E and store the kit
away safely in its original location.
8. Drive to the nearest tyre specialist
to get the damaged tyre replaced.
Before the tyre is removed from
the rim, inform your tyre dealer
that the tyre contains sealant.
Renew the kit as soon as possible
after it has been used once.
Note: Remember that emergency
roadside tyre repair kits only provide
temporary mobility. Regulations
concerning tyre repair after usage of
tyre repair kit may differ from country
to country. You should consult a tyre
specialist for advice.
WARNING
Before driving, make sure the
tyre is adjusted to the
recommended inflation pressure.
(page 224). Monitor the tyre pressure
until the sealed tyre is replaced.
4. Follow the inflation procedure

once again to top up the tyre.
222
Wheels and tyres

Empty sealant bottles can be
disposed of together with normal
household waste. Return remains of
sealant to your dealer or dispose of
it in compliance with local waste
disposal regulations.
Check the tyre pressures (including

the spare) when cold, every two
weeks.
USING WINTER TYRES

CAUTION
TYRE CARE
Make sure that you use the

correct wheel nuts for the type
of wheel the winter tyres are fitted to.
If winter tyres are used, make sure
that the tyre pressures are correct.
(page 224).
E70415
To make sure the front and rear tyres

of your vehicle wear evenly and last
longer, we recommend that you
swap the tyres from front to rear and
vice versa at regular intervals of
between 5 000 and 10 000 km (3
000 and 6 000 miles).
CAUTION
Do not scrub the sidewalls of the
tyres when you are parking.
USING SNOW CHAINS

WARNINGS
Do not exceed 50 km/h (30
mph).
Do not use snow chains on
snow-free roads.
Do not fit snow chains to
205/50 R 17 or 225/40 R 18
tyres.
CAUTION
If you have to mount a kerb, do so

slowly and approach it with the
wheels at right-angles to the kerb.
Examine the tyres regularly for cuts,
foreign objects and uneven wear of
the tread. Uneven wear could mean
that the wheel alignment is outside
specification.
If your vehicle is fitted with wheel

trims, remove them before fitting
snow chains.
Note: The ABS will continue to
operate normally.
Only use small link snow chains.
Only use snow chains on the front
wheels.

If the Bluetooth and voice control is

used for an extended period of time
when the vehicle is stationary, make
sure that the engine is running to
avoid draining the battery
TELEPHONE SETUP
The Bluetooth mobile phone part of

the system provides interaction with
the audio or navigation system and
your mobile phone. It allows you to
use the audio or navigation system
to make and receive calls without
having to use your mobile phone.
Requirements for cradle

connection
Your phone must be fitted in a mobile
phone holder before it can be used
as a cradle phone with your
handsfree/voice control system. You
will be able to purchase the correct
holder for your phone from your
dealer.
The voice control part of the system

can be used to control:
mobile phone calls

audio system functions
vehicle climate control functions.
Placing your phone in the

time, no phone is connected to the
system.
After switching on the ignition the
cradle phone and the Bluetooth
phone are recognized differently by
the system.
Bluetooth phone
After bonding a Bluetooth phone to
the system, this becomes the active
phone. For further information refer
to the phone menu.
However, in some cases the
Bluetooth phone has to be activated
by pressing the appropriate station
button on the audio or navigation
unit.
Turning the ignition back on again,
the last active phone is picked up by
the system.
232

phone can be bonded, the existing
active Bluetooth connection has to
be deactivated by the mobile phone.
Bond a new Bluetooth phone as
described in the requirements for a
Bluetooth connection.
Phones stored in the system are
accessible by using the phone list on
the audio or navigation unit.
Note: If six (five Bluetooth phones
for cradle phone system) Bluetooth
phones have been bonded, one of
these has to be deleted in order to
bond a new phone.
A phone can be connected to the

vehicle system by using either a
cradle connection or a Bluetooth
connection.
On vehicles with a mobile phone
cradle, up to five Bluetooth phones
can be bonded to the vehicle system.
On vehicles without a mobile phone
cradle, up to six Bluetooth phones
can be bonded to the vehicle system.
Note: If there is an ongoing call
when the phone in use is selected as
the new active phone, the call is
transferred to the vehicle audio
system.
Cradle phone
Note: Even if connected to the car

system, your phone can still be used
in the usual way.
With your phone fitted in the mobile

phone cradle this does not
automatically become the active
phone.
Requirements for Bluetooth

connection
In these cases refer to Changing

the active phone in the
appropriate section which describes
the system fitted to your vehicle.
BLUETOOTH SETUP
Before you can use your telephone
with your vehicle it must be bonded
to the vehicle telephone system.
The following are required before a

Bluetooth phone connection can be
made.
1. The Bluetooth feature must be
activated on the phone and on
the audio unit. For additional
information, refer to your phone

233
Telephone
Note: A phone call will be
disconnected if the audio/navigation
system is switched off. If the ignition
key is turned to the off position the
phone call will remain in progress.
Compatibility of phones
CAUTION
As no common agreement
exists, mobile phone
manufacturers are able to implement
a variety of profiles in their Bluetooth
devices. Because of this, an
incompatibility can occur between
the phone and hands-free system,
which in some cases may significantly
degrade the system performance.
To avoid this situation, only
recommended phones should be
used. Please contact your dealer for
more details regarding the current
compatibility list.

Voice control
Note: The voice control system is
language specific. If you require the
system to operate in another
language please consult your dealer.
PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
Voice recognition enables operation
of the audio system without the need
to divert your attention from the road
ahead in order to change settings, or
receive feedback from the system.
System response
As you work through a voice session
the system will prompt you with a
beep tone each time the system is
ready to proceed.
Whenever you issue one of the

defined commands with the system
active, the voice recognition system
converts your command into a
control signal for the audio system.
Your inputs take the form of
dialogues or commands. You are
guided through these dialogues by
announcements or questions.
Do not try to give any commands

until the beep tone has been heard.
The voice control system will repeat
each spoken command back to you.
If you are not sure how to continue
say "HELP" for assistance or
"CANCEL" if you do not wish to
continue.
Please familiarise yourself with the

functions of the audio system before
using voice recognition.
The "HELP" function provides only a

subset of the available voice
commands. Detailed explanations of
all possible voice commands can be
found on the following pages.
Note: If the Bluetooth and voice

control is used for an extended
period of time when the vehicle is
stationary, make sure that the engine
is running to avoid draining the
battery.
Voice commands
All voice commands should be given
using a natural speaking voice, as if
speaking to a passenger or on the
phone. Your voice level should be
dependant on the surrounding noise
level inside or outside the vehicle but
do not shout.
Supported commands
The voice control system allows you
to control the following vehicle
functions:
phone
radio
Name tag
CD Player
climate control
navigation system.
