2018 FORD TRANSIT four wheel drive

How Temperature Affects the Tire
Pressures
While driving in a normal manner, tire
pressures may increase up to 4 psi
(30 kPa) from a cold start situation. If the
vehicle is stationary overnight and the
temperature significantly lower than the
daytime temperature, tire pressures may
decrease up to 3 psi (20 kPa) for a drop of
30°F (17°C) in ambient temperature. This
lower pressure value will be detected by
the system as being significantly lower
than the correct inflation pressure and the
warning light will illuminate.
If the warning light is on:
• Check each tire to verify that none are
flat.
• If one or more tires are flat, repair as
necessary.
• Check the tire pressures and Inflate all
the tires to the correct pressure.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Reset Procedure
Carry out the tire pressure monitoring
system reset procedure after:
• Every tire rotation.
• Each tire replacement, only when the
sensor stays the same and does not
change.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
reset procedure will not work with a new
sensor until an authorized dealer programs
the new sensor. Overview WARNING:
To determine the
required pressure(s) for your vehicle, see
the Safety Compliance Certification Label
(on the door hinge pillar, door-latch post
or the door edge that meets the door-latch
post, next to the driver seat) or the Tire
Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the
driver door.
To maintain your vehicle ’s load carrying
capability, this vehicle requires different
tire pressures in the front tires compared
to the rear tires. The system on your vehicle
is designed to illuminate the warning light
at different pressures for the front and rear
tires.
The tires need to be periodically rotated
to provide consistent performance and
maximum tire life, the system needs to
know when the tires have been rotated to
determine which set of tires are on the
front and rear axles. With this information,
the system can detect and correctly warn
of low tire pressures.
System Reset Tips:
• To reduce the chance of interference
from another vehicle, the system reset
procedure should be carried out at
least three feet (one meter) away from
another Ford vehicle undergoing the
system reset procedure.
• Do not wait more than two minutes
between resetting each tire sensor or
the system will time-out and the entire
procedure will have to be repeated on
all four wheels. A double horn chirp
indicates the need to repeat the
procedure.
Carrying Out the System Reset
Procedure
Read the entire procedure before carrying
out a system reset.

1. Drive your vehicle above 20 mph
(32 km/h) for at least two minutes and
then park in a safe location where you
can easily get to all four tires and have
access to a tire inflation pump.
2. Switch the ignition off.
3. Switch the ignition on with the engine off.
4. Turn the hazard flashers on then off three times, this must be completed
within 10 seconds. If the reset mode
has been entered successfully, the horn
will chirp once and the system indicator
will flash. If this does not occur, repeat
the procedure from step 2. If after
repeated attempts to enter the reset
mode, the horn does not chirp and the
system indicator does not flash, have
your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
5. Train the system sensors in the tires using the following reset sequence
starting with the left front tire and
following a clockwise order: Left front,
right front, right rear, left rear.
6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the left front tire. Decrease the
air pressure until the horn chirps.
Note: The single horn chirp confirms that
the sensor identification code has been
learned by your vehicle for this position. If a
double horn chirp is heard, the reset
procedure was unsuccessful and must be
repeated.
7. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the right front tire. Decrease
the air pressure until the horn chirps.
8. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the right rear tire. Decrease the
air pressure until the horn chirps. 9. Remove the valve cap from the valve
stem on the left rear tire. Decrease the
air pressure until the horn chirps.
Training is complete when the horn
chirps after the last system sensor (left
rear) has been trained and the system
indicator stops flashing.
10. Switch the ignition off. If two short horn chirps are heard, the reset
procedure was unsuccessful and
must be repeated.
Note: If after repeating the procedure two
short horn chirps are heard again, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
11. Set all four tires to the correct pressure
See Maintenance (page
229). or the tire inflation pressure label
(located on the edge of driver door or
the B-Pillar).
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL WARNING:
Do not use tire sealants
as they may damage the tire pressure
monitoring system. WARNING:
If the tire pressure
monitor sensor becomes damaged it may
not function.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light will illuminate when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on this vehicle.
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road.

Exclusive use of E85 (Flex fuel vehicles only)
If ran exclusively on E85, fill the fuel tank full with regular
unleaded fuel.
Every oil change interval
Exceptions
There are several exceptions to the Normal
Schedule:
Axle and Transfer Case Maintenance
Axle(s) and transfer case (Four-wheel
drive vehicles) fluid changes or level
checks are not required unless a leak is
suspected or the assembly has been
submerged in water. Contact an authorized
dealer for service.
California fuel filter replacement
If you register your vehicle in California, the
California Air Resources Board has
determined that the failure to perform this
maintenance item does not nullify the
emission warranty or limit recall liability
before the completion of your vehicle's
useful life. Ford Motor Company, however,
urges you to have all recommended
maintenance services performed at the
specified intervals and to record all vehicle
service. Hot climate oil change intervals
Vehicles operating in the Middle East,
North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or
locations with similar climates using an
American Petroleum Institute (API)
Certified for Gasoline Engines (Certification
mark) oil of SM or SN quality, the normal
oil change interval is 5,000 mi (8,000 km).
If the available API SM or SN oils are not
available, then the oil change interval is
3,000 mi (4,800 km)
.
Engine air filter replacement
The life of the engine air filter is dependent
on exposure to dusty and dirty conditions.
Vehicles operated in these conditions
require frequent inspection and
replacement of the engine air filter.
