Have had my new 1.6 TDCi Titanium for a week now and I am blown away by it. I am still learning how to correctly get the most out of the engine, but so far the only thing I have a problem with is the lack of an owners manual. I was only supplied with an information sheet as (I am told) they haven't come from the printers yet. I intend to travel north in the next couple of weeks and hopefully will be able to report on my progress.

Hi John, welcome to the site

Dan (admin of this site) has supplied link to a PDF version of the BMAX manual (if built in 2012) at the following address :


http://www.bmaxownersclub.co.uk/bmax-manual.pdf


... and if built in 2013, there is another manual Ford has produced :
http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdirsnet/OwnerGuide_EU/Default.aspx?bookcode=O23891&market=GB&language=EN&title=2013%20B-MAX~5157


(I do not know if there are any differences between the two)


They are approximately 251 pages long if your printer feels up to the challenge...

If you have an ipad you can put it on your I- books. Welcome to the forum John.

Thanks for the tip Robertdownie, I pick up my car today at 3pm, without a manual. The dealer has said they are still waiting for them to be delivered. So as a backup, (and as you have suggested) I have installed IBooks (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibooks/id364709193?mt=8)onto my Phone, (as this is more likely to be with me when out in the car), and then added the PDF manual to the car there.

thanks again

How very weird D_Z.

My B-Max turned up with the latest edition in the 'glovebox pack'

.

heh... don't spoil it for me, I want to read the plot twists and suspense myself.... and using Cludo as the basis of my next sentence, 'Don't tell me, the dealer did it with the wiper-blades, in the managers office!'

The dealer has said he will get one sent out to me when they arrive. While I have Dan's PDF copy to fall back on, I could see safety implications to letting a car go with no manual.... what if someone put a Tom Jones CD into the entertainment system, and could not get it to stop....

No, actually D_Z, the dealer did it in the workshop with a technician, using the re-aligned wiper on the offside front. They then proceeded to throw a manual at the front door, claiming that bugs were trying to enter the SYNC setup

You've run out of print.D_Z.

heh.. I do not own a printer... I did at one point , but got fed up staring at it and never using it.. I sold it to my brother.... he now has the enjoyment of staring at it..
