STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE
Before starting the engine check the
following:
•
Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Make sure the transmission is in park
(P).
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases, this helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Turn the key to the on position to switch the ignition on.
3. Turn the key to the start position to start your vehicle. Release the key
when the engine starts.
Note: You can only operate the starter for
a limited period of time, for example 10
seconds. The number of start attempts is
limited to approximately six. If you exceed
this limit, the system will not allow you to
try again until a period of time has elapsed,
for example 30 minutes.
Engine Idle Speed after Starting
The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting will adjust
automatically to minimize vehicle
emissions and maximize cabin comfort
and fuel economy. The idle speed will vary depending on
certain factors. These include vehicle
component and ambient temperatures as
well as electrical and climate system
demands.
Cold or Hot Engine
If the engine does not start within 10
seconds, wait for a short period and try
again.
If the engine does not start after three
attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow the
flooded engine procedure.
If you have difficulty starting the engine
when the temperature is below -13°F
(-25°C), press the accelerator pedal to the
mid-way point of its travel and try again.
Flooded Engine
1. Shift into park (P).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and
hold it there.
3. Start the engine.
Note: If the engine does not start, repeat
the cold or hot engine procedure.
STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE WARNINGS
Do not use starting fluid, for example
ether, in the air intake system (see
air filter decal). Starting fluids could
cause immediate explosive damage to the
engine. Failure to follow this warning could
result in fire, serious personal injury or
death. Do not add gasoline, gasohol, alcohol
or Kerosene to diesel fuel. This action
creates a serious fire hazard and will
result in poor engine performance. Engine
damage caused by the use of incorrect fuel
is not covered by the vehicle warranty. 109
Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Starting and Stopping the Engine

Note:
Do not press the accelerator pedal.
5. Turn the key to the start position to start the engine.
6. Release the key.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
The filter forms part of the emissions
reduction system on your vehicle. It filters
harmful diesel particulates (soot) from the
exhaust gas.
Regeneration WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after you
have switched the engine off. This is a
potential fire hazard. Note:
Avoid running out of fuel.
Note: During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odor and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during regeneration and is normal.
Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust
sound may be heard during the regeneration
process.
Note: After you have switched your engine
off the fans may continue to run for a short
period of time.
The diesel particulate filter on your vehicle
requires periodic regeneration to maintain
its correct function. Your vehicle will carry
out this process automatically. If your journeys meet one of the following
conditions:
•
You drive only short distances.
• You frequently switch the ignition on
and off.
• Your journeys contain a high level of
acceleration and deceleration.
You must carry out occasional trips with
the following conditions to assist the
regeneration process:
• Drive your vehicle in more favorable
conditions, which you will find at higher
vehicle speeds in normal driving, on a
main road or freeway for a minimum
of 20 minutes. This drive may include
short stops that will not affect the
regeneration process.
• Avoid prolonged idling and always
observe speed limits and road
conditions.
• Do not switch the ignition off.
• Select a suitable gear to ideally
maintain engine speed between 1500
and 3000 RPM.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Vehicles With a Turbocharger WARNING
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.

Fuel Requirements - Choosing The
Right Fuel: Vehicles Operated
Where Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
Is Not Required
Use only a diesel engine configured for use
with high sulfur diesel fuel in markets with
diesel fuel that has sulfur content greater
than 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel
(16–500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel
(greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine
designed to use only ultra-low sulfur diesel
fuel may result in damage to engine
emission control devices and the
after-treatment system, potentially
rendering your vehicle inoperable.
For the engine to operate reliably on low
sulfur or high sulfur diesel fuel, the engine
must be a factory built high sulfur engine
(available as a dealer order option for
select markets) or an ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel configured engine that has been
retrofitted for high sulfur diesel fuel using
Ford Motor Company dealer service parts.
Failure to use retrofit components other
than those available through your
authorized dealer will result in coolant
system damage, engine overheating,
selective catalyst reduction system or
diesel particulate filter damage and
possible base engine damage.
Vehicles with engines configured for use
with high sulfur diesel fuel are only
available for sale in countries where
ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel is generally not
available or mandated by the government.
Vehicles originally sold in a ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel market that are subsequently
exported to non ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel
markets will need to be retrofitted (at the
customer
’s expense using Ford authorized
dealer service parts) in order to be reliably
operated on non ultra-low sulfur diesel
fuel. Biodiesel
You may operate your vehicle on diesel
fuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, also
known as B20.
Biodiesel fuel is a chemically converted
product from renewable fuel sources, such
as vegetable oils, animal fats and waste
cooking greases.
To help achieve acceptable engine
performance and durability when using
biodiesel in your vehicle:
•
Confirm the biodiesel content of the
fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less
by checking the label on the fuel pump.
• Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality
that complies with applicable industry
standards ASTM D975 for diesel and
ASTM D7467 for B6-B20 blends.
• Follow the recommended service
maintenance intervals. See Normal
Scheduled Maintenance (page 366).
• Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel
tank for more than one month.
• Do not use raw oils, fats or waste
cooking greases.
System Messages Action and Description
Message
Consider changing brands
or reducing biodiesel
content if you have cold
temperature fuel gelling
issues or this message
frequently appears.
Fuel Pres-
sure Low
Use of biodiesel in concentrations greater
than 20% may cause damage to your
vehicle, including engine and/or exhaust
after-treatment hardware (exhaust
catalyst and particulate filter) failures.
When using biodiesel in concentrations
greater than 20%, this can also cause fuel
