Warning light
Y
coming on when
driving
❒
If the warning light
Y
turns on,
this means that the system is running
a self-diagnosis (for example due to
a voltage drop).
❒
If the problem persists, contact
the Ford Dealership.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been
attached near or actually on some
of the components of your vehicle.
These labels bear symbols that remind
you of the precautions to be taken
as regards that particular component.
THE FORD CODE
SYSTEM
To further protect your car from theft,
it has been fitted with an engine
immobilising system. It is automatically
activated when the ignition key
is removed.
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR – ON, the
Ford CODE system control unit sends
an acknowledgement code to the engine
control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
If, during ignition, the code is not
correctly recognized, the light
Y
lights up on the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP
and then back to MAR – ON; if the
lock continues, possibly try with the
other keys provided with the car.
Contact
a Ford Dealership if you still cannot
start the engine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its
own code which must be stored by
the system electronic control unit.
Contact the Ford Dealership to have
new keys (up to eight) stored with
the code.
Violent shocks may damage
the electronic components
inside the key.
