2011 FORD C MAX engine

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine GENERAL INFORMATION
General points on starting
If the battery has been disconnected the
vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approx. 8 kilometres (5
miles) after reconnecting the battery.
This is because the engine management
system must realign itself with the engine.
Any unusual driving characteristics during
this period may be disregarded.
Starting the engine by towing or
pushing
WARNING
To prevent damage you must not
push or tow start your vehicle. Use
booster cables and a booster battery.

Engine idle speed after starting
The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting will vary
depending on the engine temperature.
If the engine is cold then the idle speed will
automatically be increased in order to heat
the catalytic converter as quickly as
possible. This makes sure that vehicle
emissions are kept to an absolute
minimum.
The idle speed will slowly decrease to the
normal level as the catalytic converter
warms up.

function if:
•
The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
• The passive key battery is flat.
If you are unable to start your vehicle carry
out the following procedure. 1. Carefully prise out the cover.
2. Insert the key into the key holder.
3. With the key in this position you can
use the start button to switch the
ignition on and start your vehicle. Stopping the engine with the

warning lamps and indicators will be
switched off.
Manual transmission
Press the start button.
Automatic transmission
1. Move the selector lever to position P.
2. Press the start button.
Stopping the engine when the
vehicle is moving WARNING
Switching off the engine when the
vehicle is still moving will result in a
loss of brake and steering assistance.
The steering will not be locked, but higher
effort will be required. When the ignition is
switched off some electrical circuits,
warning lamps and indicators may also be
OFF. Press and hold the start button for two
seconds, or press twice within two
seconds.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
The DPF forms part of the emissions
reduction systems fitted to your vehicle. It
filters harmful diesel particulates (soot)
from the exhaust gas.

Starting and Stopping the EngineE87381 E85767

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Regeneration
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after DPF regeneration, and
after you have switched the engine off.
This is a potential fire hazard. CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel.
Note:
During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odour and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during regeneration and is normal.
Note: After you have switched your engine
off the fans may continue to run for a short
period of time.
Unlike a normal filter which requires
periodic replacement, the DPF has been
designed to regenerate, or clean itself to
maintain operating efficiency. The
regeneration process takes place
automatically. However, some driving
conditions mean that you may need to
support the regeneration process.
If you drive only short distances or your
journeys contain frequent stopping and
starting, where there is increased
acceleration and deceleration, occasional
trips with the following conditions will
assist the regeneration process: •
Drive your vehicle at a constant speed,
preferably on a main road or motorway,
for up to 20 minutes.
• Avoid prolonged idling and always
observe speed limits and road
conditions.
• Do not switch off the ignition.
• Use a lower gear than normal to
maintain a higher engine speed during
this journey, where appropriate.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Vehicles with a turbocharger CAUTION
Do not switch the engine off when it
is running at high speed. If you do, the
turbocharger will continue running
after the engine oil pressure has dropped
to zero. This will lead to premature
turbocharger bearing wear. Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until
the engine has reached idle speed and then
switch it off.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
CAUTION
Make sure you disconnect the power
cable from the engine heater
connector before driving away.
Note:
The engine heater connector is
located in the front bumper.

Starting and Stopping the EngineE135813

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
CAUTION
For vehicles with Start-stop the
battery requirement is different. It
must be replaced by one of exactly
the same specification as the original. The system reduces fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions by shutting down the
engine when the vehicle is idling, for
example at traffic lights. The engine will
automatically restart when the driver
presses the clutch pedal or when required
by a vehicle system, for example to
recharge the battery.
To obtain maximum benefit from the
system, move the gear lever to the neutral
position and release the clutch pedal
during any stop of longer than three
seconds.
USING START-STOP
WARNINGS
The engine may restart
automatically if required by the
system. See Principle of Operation
(page 133). Switch the ignition off before
opening the bonnet or carrying out
any maintenance.
Always switch the ignition off before
leaving your vehicle, as the system
may have shut down the engine but
the ignition will still be live. Note:
The system only operates when the
engine is warm and the outside temperature
is between 0°C (32°F) and 30°C (86°F). Note:
If you stall the engine, and then
depress the clutch pedal within a couple of
seconds, the system will automatically
restart the engine.
Note: The Start-stop indicator will
illuminate green when the engine shuts
down. See Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page 79).
Note: The Start-stop indicator will flash
amber, requiring you to select neutral or
depress the clutch pedal. In conjunction a
message will be shown in the display.
Note: If the system detects a malfunction,
it is deactivated. Have the system checked
by a properly trained technician.
Note: If you have switched the system off,
the switch will be illuminated.
Note: The system is on by default. To
switch the system off, press the switch in
the instrument panel. The system will only
be de-activated for the current ignition
cycle. To turn it on, press the switch again.
For item location. See At a Glance (page
10). To stop the engine
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Move the gear lever to the neutral
position.
3. Release the clutch pedal.
4. Release the accelerator pedal.
The system may not shut down the engine
under certain conditions, for example:
• To maintain the interior climate.
• Low battery voltage.
• The outside temperature is too low or
too high.
• The driver's door has been opened.
133
Start-Stop

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine •
Low engine operating temperature.

• If a road speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) has
not been exceeded.
To re-start the engine
Note: The gear lever must be in the neutral
position.
Depress the clutch pedal.
The system may automatically restart the
engine under certain conditions, for
example:
• Low battery voltage.
• To maintain the interior climate.
