WARNINGS If your vehicle has been involved in a crash, have the child seats checked by an authorized dealer. Note: Mandatory use of child seats varies from country to country. Only child seats certified to ECE-R44.03 (or later) have been tested and approved for use in your vehicle. A choice of these are available from an authorized dealer.
Child Seats for Different Mass Groups Use the correct child seat as follows: Baby Safety Seat
WARNINGS Use an approved child seat to secure children less than 59 inches (150 centimeters) tall in the rear seat. Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child seat on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it!
Secure children that weigh less than 29 pounds (13 kilograms) in a rearward facing baby safety seat (Group 0+) on the rear seat.
Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you are installing a child seat. Do not modify child seats in any way. Do not hold a child on your lap when your vehicle is moving. Do not leave unattended children in your vehicle.
15
B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
Secure children that weigh between 29 and 40 pounds (13 and 18 kilograms) in a child safety seat (Group 1) on the rear seat.
Secure children that weigh more than 33 pounds (15 kilograms) but are less than 59 inches (150 centimeters) tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion.
Booster Seats
We recommend that you use a booster seat that combines a cushion with a backrest instead of a booster cushion only. The raised seating position will allow you to position the shoulder strap of the adult safety belt over the center of your child’s shoulder and the lap strap tightly across their hips.
WARNINGS Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with only the lap strap of the safety belt. Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with a safety belt that is slack or twisted.
Booster Cushion (Group 3)
Do not put the safety belt under your child’s arm or behind their back. Do not use pillows, books or towels to boost your child’s height. Make sure that your children sit in an upright position. Note: When using a child seat on a rear seat, make sure that the child seat rests tightly against the vehicle seat. It may be necessary to lift or remove the head restraint. See Head Restraints (page 83).
16
B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
WARNINGS Do not attach a tether strap to anything other than the correct tether anchor point.
Use an anti-rotation device when using the ISOFIX system. We recommend the use of a top tether or support leg.
Make sure that the top tether strap is not slack or twisted and is properly located on the anchor point.
Note: When you are purchasing an ISOFIX seat, make sure that you know the correct mass group and ISOFIX size class for the intended seating locations. See Child Seat Positioning (page 18).
Note: Where applicable, remove the luggage cover to ease installation. See Luggage Covers (page 122).
Your vehicle has ISOFIX anchor points that accommodate universally approved ISOFIX child seats.
Note: You may need to raise or remove the head restraint to ease installation. See Head Restraints (page 83).
The ISOFIX system comprises two rigid attachment arms on the child seat that attach to anchor points on the outboard rear seats, where the cushion and backrest meet. Tether anchor points are located behind the outboard rear seats for child seats with a top tether.
1.
Route the tether strap under the head restraint to the anchor point.
Top Tether Anchor Points
2. Push the child seat back firmly to engage the ISOFIX lower anchor points. 3. Tighten the tether strap in line with the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

WARNINGS The child seat must rest tightly against the vehicle seat. It may be necessary to lift or remove the head restraint. See Head Restraints (page 83).
WARNINGS See an authorized dealer for the latest details relating to our recommended child seats.
Note: When using a child seat on a front seat, always adjust the front passenger's seat to its fully rearward position. If it proves difficult to tighten the lap section of the safety belt without slack remaining, adjust the seatback to the fully upright position and raise the height of the seat. See Seats (page 83).
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child seat on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it! When using a child seat with a support leg, the support leg must rest securely on the floor. When using a child seat with a safety belt, make sure that the safety belt is not slack or twisted.

Supplementary Restraints System Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a cloud of harmless powdery residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION WARNINGS Extreme Hazard! Never use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an active airbag in front of it. Death or serious injury to the child can occur.
Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a damp cloth.
DRIVER AIRBAG
Do not modify the front of your vehicle in any way. This could adversely affect deployment of the airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death. Wear a safety belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. Only when you use the safety belt correctly, can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page 83). Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
The airbag will deploy during significant frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupant, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.
Repairs to the steering wheel, steering column, seats, airbags and safety belts must be carried out by an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death. Keep the areas in front of the airbags free from obstruction. Do not affix anything to or over the airbag covers. In the event of a crash, hard objects could cause serious personal injury or death. Do not puncture the seat with sharp objects. This could damage and adversely affect deployment of the airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death. Use seat covers designed for seats with side airbags. Have these fitted by an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious personal injury or death. 23
B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
Turn the switch to position A. When you switch the ignition on, check that the airbag deactivation warning lamp illuminates.
The airbag will deploy during significant frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupant, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.
Switching the Passenger Airbag On WARNING You must switch the airbag on when you are not using a child seat on the front seat.
Switching the Passenger Airbag Off
Turn the switch to position B.
WARNING
SIDE AIRBAGS
You must switch the airbag off when using a rearward facing child seat on the front seat.
WARNING Use seat covers designed for seats with side airbags. Have these fitted by an authorized dealer.
24
B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
Supplementary Restraints System SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS
The airbags are located inside the seatback of the front seats. There is a label attached to the side of the seatback to indicate this.
The airbags are located over the front and rear side windows.
The airbag will deploy during significant lateral collisions. The airbag will not deploy in minor lateral and frontal collisions, rear collisions, or overturns.
The airbag will deploy during significant lateral collisions. It will also deploy during significant frontal angled collisions. The curtain airbag will not deploy in minor lateral and frontal collisions, rear collisions, or overturns.
DRIVER KNEE AIRBAG WARNING Do not attempt to open the airbag cover. The airbag will deploy during frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing a cushion between the driver’s knees and the steering column. During overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the knee airbag will not deploy. For item location: See At a Glance (page 9). Note: The airbag has a lower deployment threshold than the front airbags. During a minor collision, it is possible that only the knee airbag will deploy.

Exterior lamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions. Examples of acceptable condensation are: • The presence of a fine mist (no streaks, drip marks or large droplets). • A fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens. Examples of unacceptable condensation are: • A water puddle inside the lamp. • Streaks, drip marks or large droplets present on the interior of the lens.
Pull the lever fully toward you to switch the high beams on.
The headlamps will switch on and off automatically in low light situations or during inclement weather.

Direct the air toward your feet. In cold or humid weather conditions, direct some of the air toward the windshield and the door windows.
Outside Air Keep the air intakes in front of the windshield free from obstruction (such as snow or leaves) to allow the climate control system to function effectively.
Cooling the Interior Direct the air toward your face.
Recirculated Air
AIR VENTS
WARNING Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to mist up. If the windows mist up, follow the settings for demisting the windshield.
Center Air Vents
The air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. Outside air does not enter your vehicle.

Note: Do not place objects under the front seats as this may interfere with the airflow to the rear seats. Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of the windshield. Manual Climate Control Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield during humid weather, adjust the air distribution control to the windshield air vents position. Increase the temperature and fan speed to improve clearing, if required. Automatic Climate Control
You can set the temperature between 61°F (16°C) and 82°F (28°C) in steps of 1°F (0.5°C). In position low, the system will switch to permanent cooling. In position high, the system will switch to permanent heating.
Note: Do not adjust the settings when your vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The system automatically adjusts to the previously stored settings. For the system to function efficiently, the instrument panel and side air vents should be fully open.
Note: If you select either position low or high, the system will not regulate a stable temperature.
Note: At low ambient temperatures with AUTO selected, the air stream is directed toward the windshield and side windows for as long as the engine remains cold.
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
Note: When the system is switched off, outside air is prevented from entering your vehicle.
General Hints
Note: When the system is in AUTO mode and the interior and exterior temperatures are high, the system automatically selects recirculated air to maximize cooling of the interior. When the selected air temperature is reached, the system automatically selects outside air.
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog up. Note: A small amount of air may be felt from the footwell air vents regardless of the air distribution setting.
Note: When you select windshield defrosting and defogging, the instrument panel and footwell level functions automatically switch off and air conditioning switches on. Outside air flows into your vehicle.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside your vehicle, do not drive with the system switched off or with recirculated air always switched on.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION WARNINGS Do not recline the seatback too far as this can cause the occupant to slide under the safety belt, resulting in serious injury in the event of a collision.
•
Sitting improperly, out of position or with the seatback reclined too far, can result in serious injury or death in the event of a collision. Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor.
• • •
Do not place objects higher than the seatback to reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision or during heavy braking.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of your head and as far forward as possible. Make sure that you remain comfortable. Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We recommend a minimum of 10 inches (25 centimeters) between your breastbone and the air bag cover. Hold the steering wheel with your arms slightly bent. Bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully. Position the shoulder strap of the safety belt over the center of your shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can maintain full control of your vehicle.
HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNING Fully adjust the head restraint before you sit in or operate your vehicle. This will help minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a collision. Do not adjust the head restraint when your vehicle is moving.
Adjusting the Head Restraints
When you use them properly, the seat, head restraint, safety belt and air bags will provide optimum protection in the event of a collision.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of your head.
We recommend that you follow these guidelines: • Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as possible. • Do not recline the seatback more than 30 degrees.

Automotive fuels can be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as gasoline is highly toxic and if swallowed can cause death or permanent injury. If fuel is swallowed, call a physician immediately, even if no symptoms are immediately apparent. The toxic effects of fuel may not be visible for hours. Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too much fuel vapor of any kind can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases, excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can cause serious illness and permanent injury. Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could lead to permanent injury. Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If fuel is splashed on the skin, clothing or both, promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation. Be particularly careful if you are taking “Antabuse” or other forms of disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing gasoline vapors, or skin contact could cause an adverse reaction. In sensitive individuals, serious personal injury or sickness may result. If fuel is splashed on the skin, promptly wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Consult a physician immediately if you experience an adverse reaction.

You may need to cycle the ignition from off to on several times after refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to the engine. On restarting, cranking time will take a few seconds longer than normal. With keyless ignition, just start the engine. Crank time will be longer than usual. Normally, adding 1 gallon (4.6 liters) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If your vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more fuel may be required.
Fuel and Refueling Refilling With a Portable Fuel Container
1.
Locate the plastic funnel in the glove box. 2. Slowly insert the funnel into the capless fuel system. 3. Fill your vehicle with fuel from the portable fuel container. 4. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer if you choose to dispose of the funnel.
WARNINGS Do not insert the nozzle of portable fuel containers or aftermarket funnels into the capless fuel system. This could damage the fuel system and its seal, and may cause fuel to run onto the ground instead of filling the tank, which could result in serious personal injury. Do not try to pry open or push open the capless fuel system with foreign objects. This could damage the fuel system and its seal and cause injury to you or others.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER WARNING Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other combustible materials. The exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during use, and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.
When filling your vehicle's fuel tank from a portable fuel container, use the funnel included with your vehicle. Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when filling an ungrounded fuel container: • • • •
Place approved fuel container on the ground. Do not fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the cargo area). Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while filling. Do not use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill position.
Driving with a Catalytic Converter WARNINGS Avoid running out of fuel. Do not crank the engine for long periods. Do not run the engine when a spark plug lead is disconnected.

Fuel and Refueling REFUELING WARNINGS Do not attempt to start the engine if you have filled the fuel tank with the incorrect fuel. This could damage the engine. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer immediately. Do not use any kind of flames or heat near the fuel system. The fuel system is under pressure. There is a risk of injury if the fuel system is leaking. 1.
If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel filler flap briefly from a distance not less than 8 inches (200 millimeters).
Press the flap to open it. Open the flap fully until it engages.
We recommend that you wait at least 10 seconds before removing the fuel pipe nozzle to allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank. Stop refueling after the fuel nozzle stops the second time. Additional fuel will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank which could lead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillage could be hazardous to other road users. Do not remove the nozzle from its fully inserted position during the entire refueling process. Note: It is not possible to fully open the sliding door when the fuel filler flap is open.
Note: When you insert the correct size fuel nozzle, a spring loaded inhibitor will open. This helps to avoid filling up with the wrong fuel.
Note: Your vehicle does not have a fuel filler cap.
2. Insert the fuel nozzle up to and including the first notch on the nozzle A. Keep it resting on the cover of the fuel pipe opening.

Fuel and Refueling FUEL CONSUMPTION Note: The amount of usable fuel in the empty reserve varies and should not be relied upon to increase driving range. When refueling your vehicle after the fuel gauge indicates empty, you might not be able to refuel the full amount of the advertised capacity of the fuel tank due to the empty reserve still present in the tank. The CO2 and fuel consumption figures are derived from laboratory tests according to Regulation (EC) 715/2007 and subsequent amendments are carried out by all vehicle manufacturers.
3. Hold the nozzle in position B during refilling. Holding the nozzle in position A may affect the flow of fuel and shut off the fuel nozzle before the fuel tank is full.
They are intended as a comparison between makes and models of vehicles. They are not intended to represent the real world fuel consumption you may get from your vehicle. Real world fuel consumption is governed by many factors including: driving style, high speed driving, stop-start driving, air conditioning usage, the accessories fitted, payload, towing, etc. The advertised capacity is the indicated capacity and the empty reserve combined. Indicated capacity is the difference in the amount of fuel in a full tank and a tank when the fuel gauge indicates empty. Empty reserve is the amount of fuel in the tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Filling the Tank
4. Operate the nozzle within the area shown.
For consistent results when refueling: •
•
• 5. Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to remove it.
Results are most accurate when the refueling method is consistent.
102
B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
Switch the ignition off before refueling. An inaccurate reading results if you leave the engine running. Use the same fill rate (low-medium-high) each time the tank is filled. Allow no more than two automatic shut-offs when refueling.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer reading. 5. Calculate fuel economy by dividing miles traveled by gallons used (For Metric: Multiply liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers traveled).
Do not measure fuel economy during the first 1000 miles (1600 km) of driving (this is your engine’s break-in period). A more accurate measurement is obtained after 2000 - 3000 miles (3200 - 4800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel gauge readings are not accurate ways to measure fuel economy.
Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving (city or freeway). This provides an accurate estimate of your vehicle’s fuel economy under current driving conditions. Additionally, keeping records during summer and winter show how temperature impacts fuel economy. In general, lower temperatures mean lower fuel economy.
1.
Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading. 2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added. 3. After at least three to five tank fill ups, fill the fuel tank and record the current odometer reading.

Note: When the system is operating, the brake pedal will pulse and may travel further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise from the system. This is normal.
The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. Note: Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out. If the vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
The anti-lock braking system will not eliminate the risks when: • you drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you • your vehicle is hydroplaning • you take corners too fast • the road surface is poor.
Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the wheels, even under normal driving conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the brakes wear. See Cleaning the Alloy Wheels (page 173).
PARKING BRAKE Vehicles With Automatic Transmission
Wet brakes result in reduced braking efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a few times when driving from a car wash or standing water to dry the brakes.
WARNING Always set the parking brake fully and leave your vehicle with the transmission selector lever in position P.
Emergency Brake Assist Emergency brake assist detects when you brake heavily by measuring the rate at which you press the brake pedal. It provides maximum braking efficiency as long as you press the pedal. Emergency brake assist can reduce stopping distances in critical situations.
Note: If you park your vehicle on a hill and facing uphill move the transmission selector lever to position P and turn the steering wheel away from the curb. Note: If you park your vehicle on a hill and facing downhill move the transmission selector lever to position P and turn the steering wheel toward the curb.

Parking Aids Note: The outer sensors may detect the side walls of a garage. If the distance between the outer sensors and the side wall remains constant for three seconds, the alert will turn off. As you continue the inner sensors will detect objects directly behind your vehicle.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION WARNINGS The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. If your vehicles has a non-Ford approved trailer tow module the system may not correctly detect objects.
PARKING AID WARNINGS Sensing is only an aid to detect some objects when moving forward or backward at low speeds. Traffic control systems, inclement weather or an external motor and fan can affect the sensors; this may include reduced performance or false activation. To help avoid personal injury you must read and understand the limitations of the system detailed in this section.
The sensors may not detect objects in heavy rain or other conditions that cause disruptive reflections. The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves. The system does not detect objects that are moving away from your vehicle. They will only be detected shortly after they start to move toward your vehicle.
The parking aid system may not prevent contact with small or moving objects that are close to the ground. The parking aid system gives an audible warning when it detects a large object helping to avoid damage to your vehicle. To help avoid personal injury you must take care when using the parking aid system.
Take particular care when reversing with a tow ball arm or a rear fitted accessory. For example, a bicycle carrier. The rear parking aid will only indicate the approximate distance from the rear bumper to an object. If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the sensors briefly from a distance not less than eight inches (20 centimeters).
Note: Some add-on equipment can cause reduced performance or false activation. For example, large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks.
Note: If your vehicle has a tow ball arm, the system is turned off automatically when trailer lamps (or lighting boards) are connected to the 13-pin socket through a Ford approved trailer tow module.
Note: The parking aid system sensors must be kept clean and free from snow or ice to avoid reduced performance or false activation. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice or snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note: If the parking aid sensors are misaligned due to vehicle bumper damage it will cause reduced performance or false activation.
Note: The system may emit false alerts if it detects a signal using the same frequency as the sensors or if your vehicle is fully loaded.

Parking Aids The parking aid system gives an audible warning and reduces the radio volume when it detects a large object within a limited range of your vehicle’s bumpers.
The system detects large objects when you move the transmission selector lever to R (reverse): • and your vehicle is moving toward the object at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h) • and your vehicle is not moving but a moving object is approaching the rear of your vehicle at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h) • and your vehicle is moving at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h) and a moving object is approaching the rear of your vehicle at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Note: When the parking aid system no longer detects a large object the radio volume will return to the previous level.
Rear Sensing System The rear parking aid sensors turn on automatically when you move the transmission selector lever to R (reverse) and your vehicle is moving at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h). Moving your vehicle closer to a large object will increase the audible warning repeat rate. When the object is less than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the center of your vehicle’s rear bumper the audible warning will sound continuously. If the object is more than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the side of your vehicle’s rear bumper the audible warning will sound for three seconds. If the object is less than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the side of your vehicle’s rear bumper the audible warning will sound continuously.

• •
Do not exceed the maximum permissible trailer nose weight (vertical weight on the tow ball) as stated in the vehicle specification chart. This could result in the loss of vehicle control, serious personal injury or death. See Capacities and Specifications (page 186).
Note: The maximum permissible trailer nose weight on the trailer identification plate is the trailer manufacturer’s testing value. The vehicle maximum permissible trailer nose weight may be lower. The stability of your vehicle to trailer combination is very much dependent on the quality of the trailer.
The anti-lock braking system does not control the overrun brake on the trailer. This could result in the loss of vehicle control, serious personal injury or death.
Towing a trailer changes the vehicle handling characteristics and increases stopping distances. Adapt your speed and driving behavior to the load of the trailer.
When towing a trailer: • •
The gross train weight stated on the vehicle identification plate applies for road gradients up to 12% and altitudes up to 3281 feet (1000 meters) when towing a trailer. In mountainous regions the engine performance decreases due to lower air density with increasing altitude. In high altitude regions above 3281feet (1000 metres), the stipulated maximum permitted gross train weight must be reduced by 10% for every extra 3281 feet (1000 metres).
Obey country specific regulations for towing a trailer. Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) even if a country allows higher speeds under certain conditions.
124

Driving Hints WARNINGS Always use floor mats that are designed to fit the foot well of your vehicle, leaving the pedal area unobstructed, and which can be firmly secured to retention posts so that they cannot slip out of position and interfere with the pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways. Incorrectly fitted floor mats can cause the accelerator pedal to become stuck in the open position. This can cause loss of vehicle control. Always correctly install the floor mats to the retention posts so that they cannot slip out of position or obstruct pedal operation. Do not place unsecured floor mats or any other covering in the foot well. Do not place additional floor mats or any other covering on top of the original floor mats. This will reduce the pedal clearance and interfere with the pedal operation. Do not allow objects to fall or become trapped under the pedals of your vehicle. This can cause loss of vehicle control. Carry out regular inspections to make sure the floor mats are secure. To install the floor mats, position the floor mat eyelet over the retention post and press down to lock in position. Remove in reverse order.

Your vehicle may not have a spare tire. Therefore you will have a temporary mobility kit which will only repair one damaged tire.
Using the Kit
The kit is located in the spare wheel well. WARNINGS Compressed air can act as an explosive or propellant.
General Information WARNINGS Depending on the type and extent of tire damage, some tires can only be partially sealed or not sealed at all. Loss of tire pressure can affect vehicle handling, leading to loss of vehicle control.
Never leave the kit unattended while in use. Do not keep the compressor operating for more than 10 minutes. You must only use the kit for the vehicle with which it was supplied.
Do not use the kit on a previously damaged tire, for example when it has been driven under inflated.
174
B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
Drive with caution and avoid making sudden steering or driving manoeuvres, especially if your vehicle is heavily laden 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 tire dealer, or to drive a maximum distance of 125 miles (200 kilometers). Do not exceed a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Keep the kit out of the reach of children. Only use the kit when the ambient temperature is between -40°F (–40°C) and +158°F (+70°C).
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 your vehicle will not move. Do not attempt to remove foreign objects like nails or screws penetrating the tire. Leave the engine running while the kit is in use, but not if your vehicle is in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area (e.g, inside a building). In these circumstances, switch the compressor on with the engine switched off. You must replace the sealant bottle with a new one before the expiry date (see top of bottle). Inform all other users of your vehicle that the tire has been temporarily sealed with the kit. Make them aware of the special driving conditions that must be observed.
WARNINGS If the tire inflation pressure does not reach 26 psi (1.8 bar) within 10 minutes, the tire may have suffered excessive damage, making a temporary repair impossible. Do not continue driving with this tire.
Inflating the Tire WARNINGS Check the sidewall of the tire prior to inflation. If there are any cracks, bumps or similar damage, do not attempt to inflate the tire. Do not stand directly beside the tire while the compressor is operating. Watch the sidewall of the tire. If any cracks, bumps or similar damage appears, switch off the compressor and let the air out by means of the pressure relief valve I. Do not continue driving with this tire. 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 a Physician. 175
B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
Note: When pumping in the sealant through the tire valve, the pressure may rise up to 87 psi (6 bar) but will drop again after about 30 seconds.
1. Remove the kit from the wrapping. 2. Peel off the label A showing the maximum permissible speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) from the sealant bottle and attach it to the instrument panel in the driver’s field of view. Make sure the label does not obscure anything important. 3. Take the hose H with the pressure relief valve I and the power plug with cable F out of the kit. 4. Connect the hose H with the pressure relief valve I to the sealant bottle B. 5. Engage the sealant bottle B into the bottle holder D. 6. Remove the valve cap from the damaged tire. 7. Screw the sealant bottle hose C firmly onto the valve of the damaged tire. 8. Make sure that the compressor switch G is in position 0. 9. Insert the power plug F into the cigar lighter socket or auxiliary power socket. See Auxiliary Power Points (page 88). See Cigar Lighter (page 88). 10. Start the engine. 11. Move the compressor switch G to position 1. 12. Inflate the tire for no longer than 10 minutes to an inflation pressure of minimum 26 psi (1.8 bar) and a maximum of 51 psi (3.5 bar). Move the compressor switch G to position 0 and check the current tire pressure with pressure gauge E. Note: If a tire pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is not reached do not continue.
Note: After you have switched the compressor off, you may hear air escaping from the damaged tire. This is normal and can be ignored provided that the specified minimum tire pressure has been reached. 13.
Remove the power plug F from the cigar lighter socket or auxiliary power socket. 14. Quickly unscrew the hose C from the tire valve. Fasten the valve cap again. Note: Some residual sealant fluid may drip or spray out of hose C while you are disconnecting it. This is normal. 15. 16.
17.
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 your vehicle. Recheck the tire and its pressure. If the tire pressure is less than 14.7 psi (1 bar) or if there are any cracks, bumps or similar damage visible, do not continue driving with this tire. 18.

B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
Leave the sealant bottle B in the bottle holder D. Make sure the kit is stored safely, but still easily accessible in your vehicle. The kit will be required again when you check the tire pressure. Immediately drive approximately two miles (three kilometers) so that the sealant can seal the damaged area.
Stop your vehicle after driving approximately two miles (three kilometers). Check, and where necessary, adjust the pressure of the damaged tire.
Attach the kit and read the tire pressure from the pressure gauge E. 20. Adjust it to the specified pressure. See Technical Specifications (page 183). 21. Once you have inflated the tire to its correct tire pressure, move the compressor switch G to position 0, remove the power plug F from the socket, unscrew the hose C and fasten the valve cap. 22. Leave hose C and H connected to the sealant bottle B and store the kit away safely. 23. Go to the nearest tire specialist to get the damaged tire replaced. Before the tire is removed from the rim, inform your tire dealer that the tire contains sealant. You must renew the sealant bottle B and hose C as soon as possible once used. Note: Remember that the kit only provides temporary mobility. Regulations concerning tire repair after using the kit may differ from country to country. You should consult a tire specialist for advice.
TIRE CARE
To make sure the front and rear tires of your vehicle wear evenly and last longer, we recommend that you swap the tires from front to rear and vice versa at regular intervals of between 3000 and 6000 miles (5000 and 10000 kilometers). WARNING Do not scrub the sidewalls of the tires when you are parking. If you have to mount a curb, do so slowly and approach it with the wheels at right-angles to the curb.
WARNING
Examine the tires regularly for cuts, foreign objects and uneven wear of the tread. Uneven wear could mean that the wheel alignment is outside specification.
Before driving, make sure the tire is adjusted to the recommended inflation pressure. See Technical Specifications (page 183). You must, monitor the tire pressure until the sealed tire is replaced.
Check the tire pressures (including the spare) when cold, every two weeks.
USING WINTER TIRES
Empty sealant bottles can be disposed of together with normal household waste. Return remains of sealant to an authorized dealer or dispose of it in compliance with local waste disposal regulations.
WARNING When you use winter tires on your vehicle, you must make sure that you use the correct lug nuts. If winter tires are used, you must make sure that you use the correct tire pressures. See Technical Specifications (page 183).
177
B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
WARNINGS Do not drive on significantly under-inflated tires. This may cause the tires to overheat and fail. Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tire tread life and may also affect your ability to drive your vehicle safely.
WARNINGS Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h). Do not use snow chains on snow-free roads.
Do not bend or damage the valves when you are inflating the tires.
Only fit snow chains to specified tires. See Technical Specifications (page 183).
Have tires installed by an authorized dealer.
If your vehicle has wheel trims, remove them before fitting snow chains.
The deflation detection system will alert you if there is a change of air pressure in any tire. It does this by using the anti-lock braking sensors to detect the rolling circumference of the wheels. When the circumference changes, this indicates low tire pressure. A warning message is displayed in the information display and the message indicator will illuminate. See Information Messages (page 67).
Note: The anti-lock braking system will continue to operate normally. Only use small link snow chains. Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Vehicles with Stability Control When stability control is on, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics. To reduce this, switch traction control off. See Using Stability Control (page 111).
If a low pressure warning message is displayed in the information display, check the tire pressures as soon as possible and inflate them to the recommended pressure. See Technical Specifications (page 183).
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
If this happens frequently, have the cause determined and rectified as soon as possible.
WARNINGS The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to regularly check the tire pressures.
Apart from a too low tire pressure or a damaged tire, the following situations can affect the rolling circumference: • Vehicle load is uneven. • When using a trailer or traveling up and down an incline. • Using snow chains. • Driving on soft surfaces such as snow or mud.
The system will only provide a low tire pressure warning. It will not inflate the tires.
Note: The system will still function correctly, but there may be an increased detection time. 178

Audio System GENERAL INFORMATION Radio Frequencies and Reception Factors Radio reception factors
Distance and Strength
The further you travel away from an FM station, the weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
Terrain
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with the reception.
Station overload
When you pass near a radio transmission tower, a stronger signal can override a weaker signal and can cause interference in the audio system.
MP3 and WMA Track and Folder Structure
CD and CD Player Information Note: CD units play commercially pressed 4.75-inch (12 centimeter) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not function correctly when used in Ford CD players.
Audio systems capable of recognizing and playing MP3 and WMA individual tracks and folder structures work as follows: • There are two different modes for MP3 and WMA disc playback: MP3 and WMA track mode (system default) and MP3 and WMA folder mode. • MP3 and WMA track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 and WMA disc. The player numbers each MP3 and WMA track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 or .WMA file extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255. The maximum number of playable MP3 and WMA files may be less depending on the structure of the CD and exact model of radio present.
Note: Do not insert CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels into the CD player as the label may peel and cause the CD to become jammed. You should use a permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive labels on your homemade CDs. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please contact an authorized dealer for further information. Note: Do not use any irregularly shaped discs or discs with a scratch protection film attached. Always handle discs by their edges only. Clean the disc with an approved CD cleaner only. Wipe it from the center of the disc toward the edge. Do not clean in a circular motion. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods.
190
B-MAX (CB2) Vehicles Built From: 25-06-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
MP3 and WMA folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 and WMA tracks on the disc (noted by the .mp3 or .WMA file extension) and all folders containing MP3 and WMA files, from F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255. Creating discs with only one level of folders helps with navigation through the disc files.
In track mode, the system displays and plays the structure as if it were only one level deep (all .mp3 files play, regardless of being in a specific folder). In folder mode, the system only plays the .mp3 files in the current folder.
AUDIO UNIT - VEHICLES WITH: AM/FM/CD WARNING
If you are burning your own MP3 and WMA discs, it is important to understand how the system reads the structures you create. While various files may be present, (files with extensions other than mp3 and WMA), only files with the .mp3 and WMA extension are played; other files are ignored by the system. This enables you to use the same MP3 and WMA disc for a variety of tasks on your work computer, home computer and your in-vehicle system.
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, crash and injury. We strongly recommend that you use extreme caution when using any device that may take your focus off the road.

At various times of the day this large network may be broken down into a number of smaller regional networks, typically centered on major towns or cities. When the network is not split into regional variants, the whole network carries the same programming.
Alternative Frequencies The majority of programs that broadcast on the FM waveband have a program identification code, it can be recognized by audio units.
Regional mode ON: This prevents random alternative frequency switches when neighboring regional networks are not carrying the same programming.
When your vehicle moves from one transmission area to another with the alternative frequencies tuning switched on, this function will search for the strongest station signal.
Regional mode OFF: This allows a larger coverage area if neighboring regional networks are carrying the same programming, but can cause random alternative frequency switches if they are not.
Under certain conditions, alternative frequencies tuning may temporarily disrupt normal reception. When selected, the unit continually evaluates signal strength and, if a better signal becomes available, the unit will switch to that alternative. It mutes while it checks a list of alternative frequencies and if necessary, it will search once across the selected waveband for a genuine alternative frequency.
