2015 FORD TRANSIT warning

WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some
lamps will illuminate when you start your
vehicle to make sure they work. If any
lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,
refer to the respective system warning
lamp for further information.
Note:
Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and function the
same as a warning lamp but do not
illuminate when you start your vehicle.
Anti-Lock Brake System If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Your vehicle will
continue to have normal braking without
Anti-lock brake system function. Have the
system checked by an authorized dealer.
Brake System WARNINGS
Driving your vehicle with the warning
lamp on is dangerous. A significant
decrease in braking performance
may occur. It will take you longer to stop
your vehicle. Have the system checked by
an authorized dealer. Driving extended distances with the
parking brake engaged can cause
brake failure and the risk of personal
injury. It illuminates when you engage
the parking brake and the
ignition is on. If it illuminates when your vehicle is
moving, make sure the parking brake is
disengaged. If the parking brake is
disengaged, this indicates low brake fluid
level or a brake system fault. Have the
system checked by an authorized dealer.
Battery If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Switch off all
unnecessary electrical equipment. Have
the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
Diesel Warning Lamps (If Equipped)
The following warning lamps are unique
for vehicles equipped with a diesel engine.
Exhaust Emission Fluid If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates the diesel
exhaust fluid is low. See

(page
117).
If it illuminates when you are driving, and
the diesel exhaust fluid is at a sufficient
level, this indicates a system malfunction.
Have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer.
Glow Plug It illuminates when you switch
the ignition on, wait until it
extinguishes before starting the
engine.
