LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
If the
¬
warning light is
faulty (warning light off),
the general failure warning light
flashes. If this happens, contact a
Ford dealership immediately to
have the system checked before
driving off.
WARNING
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG
DEACTIVATED
(amber - on the dedicated panel)
OVERHEATED ENGINE
COOLANT (red)
H
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 comes on when
driving, proceed as follows:
❒ in standard driving conditions:
stop the car, switch off the engine
and check whether the water level
in the reservoir is not below the
MIN. mark. In this case, wait for
a few minutes for the engine to cool
down, then slowly and carefully
open the cap, top-up with coolant
and check that the level is between
the MIN. and MAX. marks on the
reservoir itself. Also check visually
for any fluid leaks. Should the
warning light turn on again at
the next start-up, contact a Ford
Dealership.
Do not resume your
journey if the warning light
illuminates despite the level being
correct! Have the system checked
by a Ford Dealership.
If the warning light stays on after
starting or illuminates when driving,
this indicates an engine
overheating.
Stop your vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so and switch the
engine off.
Check the coolant level following
the instructions in the "Engine
coolant check" section on page
135-136.
WARNING
The panel is located on the dashboard
in central position, where it can be seen
by all the occupants of the vehicle.
Turning the ignition key to MAR-ON
the two LEDs (OFF
“
/ON
F
), will
come on for about 8 seconds. If not,
contact a Ford Dealership. During the
first 8 seconds, the activation of the
LEDs does not actually show the
passenger protection status, but only
checks its correct operation.
After a test of about 8 seconds, the
LEDs will indicate the condition of
passenger airbag protection: if the
passenger's protection is active the LED
(ON
F
) will come on for about 30
seconds and then goes out; if the
passenger's protection is not active the
LED (OFF
“
) comes on constantly.
The LEDs may light up with various
intensity levels depending on the vehicle
conditions. The intensity may also vary
during the same key cycle.
