WARNING
If the warning light
turns on when the car
is travelling (on certain versions
together with the message
on the display) stop the engine
immediately and contact
a Ford Dealership.
Degraded oil
The warning light turns on and flashes
along with the message on the display
when the system detects that the
engine oil is degraded.
Following the first indication, whenever
the engine is started, the warning light
will continue to flash cyclically for
3 minutes with intervals when the
warning light is OFF for 5 seconds until
the oil is changed.
WARNING
If the warning light
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.
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE
v
(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
v
multifunction display only) when doors
are open and the car is running.
EOBD/INJECTION
U
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.
