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 before continuing your
journey. Ford authorized
repairers are recommended.
Disc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reduced
braking efficiency.
After leaving a carwash or driving
the vehicle through water, dab the
brake pedal while driving to remove
the film of water.
