❒

connect the positive terminals

(+ near the terminal) of the two

batteries with a jump lead;

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect

the negative terminals of the two

batteries: any sparks may ignite the

explosive gas which could come out

of the battery. If the booster battery

is installed on another car, prevent

any contact between metal parts

of the cars and the flat battery.

This could cause a flow of fuel into

the catalytic converter and damage

it beyond repair.

❒

connect a second cable to the

negative terminal − of the booster

battery to an earth point A on the

car to be started (fig. 1a-1b);

IMPORTANT Remember that the brake

servo and electrical power steering

system (where provided) are not

operational until the engine is started,

a greater effort will therefore

be required to press the brake pedal

or turn the steering wheel.

CHANGING A WHEEL

WARNING

The space-saver wheel

(where provided) is specific

to your car, do not use it on other

models, nor use the spare wheel

of other models on your car.

The space-saver wheel must only

be used in an emergency. It shall

only be used as strictly necessary

and the car speed shall not exceed

80 km/h.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The vehicle can be supplied

(if requested/provided for) with

a normal spare wheel or with

a space-saver wheel.

For some versions/models, the vehicle

is also equipped in the factory with

4 antitheft bolts (one per wheel).

KA00120m

fig. 2

The space-saver wheel has

an orange sticker that summarises

the main cautions for use

To tighten/retighten the bolts, use

the appropriate adaptor A-fig. 2

provided, inserting it between the bolt

and wrench provided, as shown in

fig. 2.

and limitations.

The sticker should never

be removed or covered.

Never apply a hub cap on

a space-saver wheel.

Note A duplicate of the bolts and

special adaptor may be ordered from

the Ford Dealership by providing the

numerical reference code attached

to the kit.

The sticker gives the following

information in four languages:

Caution! For temporary use only!

car that it comes with or other cars

of the same model. Never use

the jack for other purposes, such as

lifting other car models. In no case

should it be used for repairs under

the car. Incorrect positioning of

the jack may cause the jacked car

to fall. Do not use the jack for

loads higher than those shown on

the label. Snow chains cannot be

fitted to the space-saver wheel.

So, if a front (drive) wheel is

free in motion.

Never tamper with the inflation valve.

Never introduce tools of any kind

between the rim and the tyre.

Check tyre and spare wheel

pressures regularly, referring to

the values shown in the “Technical

specifications” section.

The driving features of the car may

change when a space-saver wheel

is fitted. Avoid sudden acceleration

and braking, sudden steering and

fast cornering. The total life of

a space-saver wheel is approximately

3000 km, after which it must be

replaced by another wheel of the

same type. Never attempt to fit

a conventional tyre on a rim

designed for use as a space-saver

wheel. Have the punctured wheel

repaired and replaced as soon as

possible. Two or more space-saver

wheels should never be used

❒

turn on the charger. At the end

of the charging process, switch

the battery charger off;

contact with your skin and eyes.

The battery recharging operation
