Driving
The maximum permissible roof
rack load is 100 kg.
Loads should be evenly
distributed on the cross rails
and/or the side rails. Never place
any loads directly onto the roof
surface.
550 mm
Note: Lockable cross rails with
fitting key from the Ford
accessories range can be obtained
from your Ford Dealer.
Take care not to install the cross
rails over the rear area of the
sunroof in such a way that it would
restrict the tilting mechanism.
To minimise wind noise, the two
cross rails can be fitted 30 cm apart
or be completely removed when
they are not in use.

BRAKES
Dual circuit braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with a
diagonally split dual circuit braking
system. If one of the brake circuits
fails, the other remains operative.
If a brake circuit fails, you
will at first experience a
softer feel to the brake pedal. You
will then need to exert a greater
force on the brake pedal and
make allowance for increased
stopping distances. Have the
braking system checked by an
expert immediately.
Disc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reduced
braking efficiency.
After leaving a carwash, dab the
brake pedal while driving to remove
the film of water.
