Operator Commanded Regeneration
Precautions and Safe Exhaust Position WARNING
Failure to comply with the following
instructions for operator
commanded regeneration may result
in fire, serious injury, death or property
damage. Before you start operator commanded
regeneration, do the following:
•
You must park your vehicle outside of
any structure.
• Move the gearshift lever to park (P)
with the parking brake set on stable,
level ground.
• Your vehicle must be
9.8 ft (3 m) -
16.4 ft (5 m) away from any
obstructions and must be away from
materials that can easily combust or
melt, for example, paper, leaves,
petroleum products, fuels, plastics and
other dry organic material.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 2.6 gal
(12 L)
of fuel in the fuel tank.
• Make sure all fluids are at the correct
levels.
• Make sure that the louvers located at
the tip of the exhaust are clear of any
obstructions as they are used to
introduce fresh air into the tailpipe to
cool the exhaust gas as it leaves. How to Start Operator Commanded
Regeneration WARNING
Stay clear of exhaust tip during
regeneration. You or others can be
burned.
Note:
You cannot use the operator
commanded regeneration until the diesel
particulate filter load percentage has
reached 100 percent. The diesel particulate
filter load percentage will fluctuate up and
down when driving your vehicle due to active
and passive regenerations.
Note: During the use of operator
commanded regeneration, you may observe
a light amount of white smoke. This is
normal. You cannot use the operator
commanded regeneration if the
service engine soon light is
illuminated.
Using the Information Display
You can start operator commanded
regeneration using the information display.
See General Information
(page 79).

Once operator commanded regeneration
starts, engine rpm will rise to
approximately 2,000 - 2,500 rpm and the
cooling fan will increase speed; you will
hear a change in audible sound due to the
fan and engine speed increase. It is not necessary to open the hood on the
engine compartment. Once operator
commanded regeneration is complete, the
engine rpm and fan will return to normal
idling. The exhaust system will remain very
hot for several minutes even after
regeneration is complete. Do not reposition

until the exhaust system has had sufficient
time to cool. Depending on the amount of
soot collected by the diesel particulate
filter, ambient temperature, and altitude,
operator commanded regeneration may
last up to 30 minutes. When the system is at the point
of over saturation, the service
engine soon light will illuminate

If your vehicle is operated with significant
stationary operation, low speed drive
cycles less than 25 mph (40 km/h), short
drive cycles, drive time less than 15 minutes
or the vehicle does not fully warm up,
passive and active regeneration may not sufficiently clean the diesel particulate
filter system. You can switch off automatic
regeneration until better driving conditions
are available, for example steady high
driving. You can then switch automatic
regeneration back on to clean the diesel
particulate filter.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake fully
and make sure you shift the gearshift
lever to park (P). Switch the ignition
off and remove the key whenever you leave
your vehicle. Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously
for more than three seconds will limit
engine rpm, which may result in difficulty
maintaining speed in traffic and could lead
to serious injury. Understanding the Gearshift Lever

Tow/Haul (T/H) (If Equipped)
Tow/Haul delays transmission upshift to
reduce the frequency of transmission
shifting.
The system provides engine braking in all
forward gears when the gearshift lever is
in drive (D). Engine braking helps you to
slow and control your vehicle when
descending a grade.
Depending on trailer load and driving
conditions, the transmission may
downshift when descending a grade.
Downshifting will depend on the amount
of vehicle braking applied.
Switching Tow/Haul On and Off To switch tow/haul on, press the
T/H button. The tow haul
indicator lamp will illuminate in
the instrument cluster.
1. Shift the gearshift lever to drive (D).
2. Press the button. The instrument cluster will display the indicator lamp.
3. Press the button again to switch the system off. The transmission will return
to normal drive (D) mode.
Park (P) WARNINGS
Do not shift the gearshift lever to
park (P) when your vehicle is moving.
This can cause damage to the
transmission not covered by the vehicle
warranty, and can result in a crash or
serious injury.
133 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 03/2014 TransmissionE175317 E161509

WARNINGS
Apply the parking brake, shift the
gearshift lever to park (P) and switch
the ignition off before leaving your
vehicle. Make sure that the gearshift lever
fully latches into position. When the gearshift lever is in this position,
it will lock the transmission. The engine
does not transmit power to the driven
wheels. You can start the engine with the
gearshift lever in this position.
Note:
A warning tone will sound if you open
the driver door and you have not shifted the
gearshift lever to park (P).
Reverse (R) WARNINGS
Do not shift the gearshift lever to
reverse (R) when your vehicle is
moving. This can cause damage to
the transmission not covered by the vehicle
warranty, and can result in a crash or
serious injury. Always come to a complete stop
before shifting the gearshift lever out
of reverse (R).
Shift the gearshift lever to reverse (R) to
allow your vehicle to move backward.
Neutral (N)
When the gearshift lever is in this position,
the transmission does not lock. The engine
does not transmit power to the driven
wheels. You can start the engine with the
gearshift lever in this position.
Drive (D)
Shift the gearshift lever to drive (D) to
allow your vehicle to move forward and
shift automatically through the forward
gears. The transmission shifts to the appropriate
gear for optimum performance based on
ambient temperature, road gradient,
vehicle load and your input.
Note:
A shift will occur only when your
vehicle speed and the engine speed are
appropriate.
Note: You can temporarily override the
selected gear by pressing the + or - buttons
on the side of the gearshift lever.
Manual (M) WARNING
Do not hold the + or - buttons
permanently in. Shift the gearshift lever to manual (M) to
allow your vehicle to move forward and
allow you to shift manually through the
forward gears. Press the
+ or - buttons on
the side of the gearshift lever to shift
manually through the forward gears. The
instrument cluster will display the selected
gear, and a shift indicator arrow to assist
optimum shifting.
• Press the
+ button to upshift.
• Press the
- button to downshift.
You can skip gears by pressing a button
repeatedly at short intervals.
Upshift at the recommended shift
speeds according to the following
chart: Upshifts when accelerating (recom-
mended for best fuel economy)

Rear detection zone: Up to 72 in
(183 cm) from the rear bumper.
A
Note: Accessories that block the detection
zone of the system may create false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
A tone will sound in the following manner
when objects are near the rear bumper:
• Objects detected by the rear sensors
produce a low-pitched tone.
• An alert will only sound for three
seconds if an object is further than 10 in
(25 cm) from the side of your vehicle. The system detects objects when you shift
into reverse (R) and:
•
Your vehicle is moving toward a
stationary object at a speed of
3 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
• Your vehicle is stationary but an object
is approaching your vehicle at a speed
of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
• Your vehicle is moving at a speed of
3 mph (5 km/h)
or less, and an object
is approaching your vehicle at a speed
of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
Note: The rate of the tone increases as your
vehicle moves closer to an object.
When the parking aid system sounds a
tone, the audio system may reduce the set
volume. When the warning ends, the audio
system returns to the previously set
volume.
Note: Volume reduction is not a standard
feature of all audio systems.
