MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL
Fan speed control: Controls the
volume of air circulated in your
vehicle. Adjust to select the
desired fan speed or switch off.
If you switch the fan off, the
windshield may fog up.
A
Recirculated air: Press the
button to switch between
outside air and recirculated air.
When you select recirculated air,
the air currently in the passenger
compartment recirculates. This
can reduce the time needed to
cool the interior, when used with
A/C
, and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
B
Note:
Recirculation air may turn
off automatically, or be
prevented from turning on in all
airflow modes except MAX A/C
to reduce risk of fogging.
Recirculated air may also turn on
and off automatically in
instrument panel or instrument
panel and floor airflow modes
during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency. Temperature control: Controls
the temperature of the air
circulated in your vehicle. Adjust
to select the desired
temperature. If you select
MAX
A/C, the system distributes
C
recirculated air through the
instrument panel air vents. This
mode is more economical and
efficient than normal air
conditioning. Turn the
temperature control to
maximum heat to turn the
auxiliary heater on
Air conditioning:
Press the
button to switch the air
conditioning on or off. To
improve air conditioning when
starting your vehicle, drive with
the windows open for two to
three minutes.
D
Air distribution control:
Adjust
to select the desired air
distribution.
E Select to distribute air through
the instrument panel air vents.

Note:
Avoid shutting the engine down after
an extensive idling period. Drive your vehicle
for several miles with the engine at normal
operating temperatures under a moderate
load.
Engine Glow Plugs The powertrain control and glow
plug control modules operate
the glow plug system.
The glow plug control module using the
engine coolant temperature, barometric
pressure sensor and the environmental
temperature sensor will determine how
long the glow plugs stay energized. The
required time for the glow plugs to remain
energized will decrease as the engine
coolant temperature, barometric pressure
and the environmental temperature
increases.
When you switch the ignition on, the glow
plug indicator lamp will illuminate if glow
plug heat is necessary as a starting aid.
Wait until the glow plug indicator lamp
turns off before starting the engine. The
lamp should always momentarily
illuminate when the engine is cold and you
switch the ignition on.
Cold Weather Operation
In cold weather below 32°F (0°C), the
engine may slowly increase to a higher idle
speed if left idling in park (P). As the engine
warms-up, the engine sound level
decreases due to the activation of
powertrain control module controlled
sound reduction features.
It is recommended that the engine block
heater be used for starting when the
temperature is -9°F (-23°C) or colder. See
Engine Block Heater
(page 129). Note:
Idling in cold weather does not heat
the engine to its normal operating
temperature. Long periods of idling,
especially in cold weather, can cause a
buildup of deposits which can cause engine
damage.
Starting a Cold or Hot Engine
1. Fully depress the brake pedal.
2. Shift into park (P) or neutral (N).
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
3. Turn the key to the on position and wait
until the glow plug indicator lamp turns
off.
4. Turn the key to the start position to start your vehicle.
5. Release the key.
Note: You may need to crank the engine for
up to 10 seconds when the outside air
temperature is
5°F (-15°C) or below.
Note: Engine power may be reduced for 15
seconds when the engine oil temperature
is
-9°F (-23°C) or below. This is to allow
the turbocharger to be lubricated.
Note: If the engine fails to start after a
number of attempts, the system will not
allow you to operate the starter for a short
period of time, for example 30 minutes.
Failure to Start
If the engine does not crank with the key
turned to the start position while the brake
pedal is fully depressed, do the following:
1. Switch the ignition off.
Note: Make sure the parking brake is fully
applied.
2. Release the brake pedal.
3. Fully depress the brake pedal.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

4.
Turn the key to the on position and wait
until the glow plug indicator lamp turns
off.
5. Turn the key to the start position to start your vehicle.
6. Release the key.
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.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (If
Equipped) WARNING:
Failure to follow engine
block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal injury. WARNING:
Do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock. WARNING:
Do not fully close the
hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block heater.
This could damage the power cable and
may cause an electrical short resulting in
fire, injury and property damage. Note:
The heater is most effective when
outdoor temperatures are below
0°F
(-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid by
warming the engine coolant. This allows
the climate control system to respond
quickly. The equipment includes a heater
element (installed in the engine block) and
a wire harness. You can connect the
system to a grounded 120-volt AC
electrical source.
We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
• Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter ’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.
• Use as short an extension cord as
possible.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord
plug connections are free and clear of
water. This could cause an electric
shock or fire.
• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles.
• Make sure the heater, heater cord and
extension cord are firmly connected.
• Check for heat anywhere in the
electrical hookup once the system has
been operating for approximately 30
minutes.
129
2018 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, JK3J 19A321 AA enUSA, Edition date: 201705, Third-Printing- Starting and Stopping the Engine

•
Make sure the system is unplugged and
properly stowed before starting and
driving your vehicle. Make sure the
protective cover seals the prongs of the
block heater cord plug when not in use.
• Make sure the heater system is
checked for proper operation before
winter.
Using the Engine Block Heater
Make sure the receptacle terminals are
clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with
a dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
of energy per hour of use. The system does
not have a thermostat. It achieves
maximum temperature after
approximately three hours of operation.
Using the heater longer than three hours
does not improve system performance and
unnecessarily uses electricity.
