2019 Ford Fiesta Owners Manual - Engine Overspeed



Engine Overspeed

Note:   Always wait until the engine is properly warmed up before running high engine speeds.

Your ST vehicle is equipped with an overspeed feature to increase its performance range. The standard maximum engine speed of 6300 RPM is indicated by a narrow redline on the tachometer face. The redline becomes thicker at the overspeed engine speed of 6600 RPM.

This feature allows one second of overspeed above 6300 RPM. Once the one second limit has been reached, the electronically controlled rev limit ramps down to 6300 RPM and holds there. Once engine speed has dropped below 6100 RPM, the overspeed timer is reset and one second of overspeed up to a maximum of 6600 RPM is enabled.

Do not operate the engine at high RPM and low load for sustained periods of time, as damage may occur.

Floor Mats

WARNING   WARNING:  Use a floor mat designed to fit the footwell of your vehicle that does not obstruct the pedal area. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING   WARNING:  Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of serious personal injury.
WARNING   WARNING:  Secure the floor mat to both retention devices so that it cannot slip out of position and interfere with the pedals. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not place additional floor mats or any other covering on top of the original floor mats. This could result in the floor mat interfering with the operation of the pedals. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING   WARNING:  Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while your vehicle is moving. Objects that are loose can become trapped under the pedals causing a loss of vehicle control.


Floor Mats

To install floor mats that have eyelets, position the floor mat eyelet over the retention post and press down to lock in position. Repeat for all eyelets on the floor mat.

To remove the floor mats, reverse the installation procedure.

Note:   Regularly check the floor mats to make sure they are secure.
